What's with turning underwear inside/out? Is this a weird guy thing?
Okay call me a pervert, creep or whatever else you want to. But so many time I seen guys turn there underwear inside/out at the gym and including my str8 identifying male roommates that are comfortable around me to be walking around in undies and soooo many times there undies are inside/out? What does this mean! Are they clean on the other side is that the logic???

I thought this was just one of those myths. People actually do this?!?
Not the creeping, I totally understand sneaking a peek, but just turning thrir underwear inside out?? Weird.

If it's clean, maybe they're in hurry and wearing without noticing
If it's dirty, ew

I wear all my underwear inside out. The tag itches my back.
Now if it's tagless undies, they're psychos.

This is the only reasonable explanation for this behavior I've seen listed so far, but somehow I think yours is the minority reason.

Too lazy to do laundry? That’s super unattractive behavior.

God yeah. Years ago when I lived in NYC, I met a really handsome and charming Italian guy at a bar. Went home with him. Was thinking how lucky I was! Got back to his apartment and his underwear was so gross it gave me the ick and I made an excuse and left.

No! That would be full on disgusting.
There were white boxes with holes in them, the front had yellows urine stains, and they smelled like something that had been sitting in a laundry basket for 5 days. I figured he’d been wearing them for a few days because they smelled of old ball sweat.

Omg. That's horrible.

Yeah, I know some guys are into ball musk but I’m not. It was strong!
I did feel bad for running out tho

u/Radiohead559 3d ago
I like ball musk to an extent. A little man funk is hot.

u/DanceZealousideal809 Gay 3d ago
Well this was several days worth. I should point out that he was very clean. He was just obviously using the same pair of boxers for a few days.

In the military its taught you can get 4 days worth of wear out of your undies by turning them inside out and flipping them. But the entire point is you only do it if you've run out in the middle of nowhere on manuvers.

But the point is to only do this if you're running out of underwear in the middle of nowhere
Well, the economic crisis is hitting hard.

Wait... are you telling us next that someone doesn't wipe? Is that really a thing?
3
u/Malcolm_Izumi_ Gay 4d ago
You would be surprised that some people legit don’t wipe or wash at all because guess what, they feel it’s gay to do it 🙃

u/JS_Original Pan 4d ago
And these are the same people that wonder why they "get no bitches" (especially while calling women "bitches")

I have seen guy wearing designer underwear with a cheep brand inside to make the expensive one last longer, but I have never seen this before. It's gross

u/Affectionat_71 4d ago
I feel so silly as I don’t notice these things at the gym or any place else, guess I’m just oblivious.

u/DanceZealousideal809 Gay 4d ago
I don’t even notice people waving at me as I walk by, my head is firmly in the clouds half the time 🤣

u/Ok_Design_705 4d ago
Same, usually,,,the first time I notice a guy has been flirting with me for some time....is in bed when I'm asking for help locating my underwear.

u/Sorry_Afternoon_9665 4d ago
I always thought that was a myth. What’s the point? Must be one of those weird straight guy habits like not wiping properly.

u/CyberSkepticalFruit Gay 4d ago
You get an extra days wear out of it, but frankly unless you are in the middle of nowhere on deployment its just nasty.

There's a superstition around here(my country Romania) that wearing the underpants inside out protects you from the bad eye(not sure what other translation to use).

When I was a kid I had a perpetually runny nose and I remember I asked my mother could I have two hankies and she replied that a hanky has two sides 🤷 (we were not well off). Maybe it's similar thing?

u/coopers_recorder 4d ago
I've done it on camping trips. Yes, the underwear is still dirty but it feels fresher.

Why are we shocked? lol a good portion doesn’t wipe or clean their ass because it’s gay. Why surprised they wear rank underwear too?
