I really don’t get it guys. Today I went for a swim around lunch time and as usual I was the only guy wearing a speedo. There was a lot of lap swimmers, enough that I had to share a lane which I haven’t had to do for a while.
However, in the change room guys are walking around naked.
I don’t understand it, no speedos but walking around the change room naked. In Australia it seems the opposite where it would be odd not to wear speedos while swimming laps but it would be weird to see that much nudity in a change room.
If anyone is at the pool tomorrow morning, I’ll be the only guy wearing a speedo. I’ll wear an AussieBum speedo so feel free to say g’day.
Also, I’m still playing with some design ideas but thought I’d go back to this old layout. What do you guys think? I can’t post as many pics per post but it is easier scrolling.
Expedia (the travel website) did a beach survey back in July and speedos were discussed in detail.
Here are some results that I thought were interesting:
- Only 7% of Aussie’s said they are ‘Speedo Lovers’ but 72% said speedos are acceptable beach attire!!!
- Nor surprisingly, only 50% of American’s said that speedos were acceptable beach wear.
- The lowest in the survey was Japan where only 29% said speedos were acceptable – kind of odd since in Onsens you aren’t allowed to wear anything.
Top 5 Countries where speedos were acceptable to wear on the beach:
- France – 91%
- Italy – 87%
- Brazi- 86%
- Sweden – 83%
- Australia – 72%
My take from this survey, I’m surprised how many Aussie’s thought it acceptable beachwear. My main group of mates on the Central Coast are all between 20yo and 30yo and we hang out on the beach and play cricket and I can’t imagine any of them wearing a speedo when just hanging out. At the pool or going for an early morning swim would be fine but I don’t think they are that speedo tolerant just yet.
Last time I was a member at the Gosford pool a majority of guys wore speedos where here in Colorado and even in San Francisco where I was a member of a pool, I’m in the minority when I’m wearing speedos.
Maybe with the soccer World Cup and the Olympics down in Brazil, their love for speedos will spread north into America.
Urban dictionary definition of Great White Buffalo:
“The one true love of your life. Called the Great White Buffalo because of it’s rarity, elusive status. Most people go throughout their entire lives without ever encountering a Great White Buffalo.”
Last night after Sunday night football Kip and I just had a lazy night watching Hottub Time Machine…. awesome movie!!! During the movie they mention the Great White Buffalo and I had never heard of that before but it makes sense.
Thinking about it, I suppose I have a guy Great White Buffalo and a girl Great White Buffalo (I’ll write about that over on www.BisexualDave.com).
My guy Great White Buffalo was a mate in high school. We were friends, not super close friends but good enough friends. I do remember in about 10th grade (15yo) having swimming class and speedos were compulsory and I had trouble not getting a boner watching this guy. He wasn’t Adonis Hot or anything like that, just a cute guy who was also nice.
After we left high school we were never in touch but last night after learning about the Great White Buffalo I Googled him and found out his recently got married. Pretty hot wife too although he isn’t as cute as I remembered him.
I think that if we had caught up after high school and he was gay or even bi that might have been my chance to be ‘out’.
I suppose that is what the Great White Buffalo is supposed to be, the one that got away……
My girl Great White Buffalo is a lot different, read about it – www.BisexualDave.com.
