There’s always that one guy. There was in middle school, there was in college, and there is now in the real world. WHY DONT YOU HAVE PANTS ON

He just runs hot, he is very comfortable in shorts and a hoodie.

He’s naturally insulated

It’s always nice when fathers and sons can bond over fashion, we need more of it.

Me too. Always in shorts.

Why someone would wear real pants when it’s not absolutely and completely necessary is beyond me

I am also that guy and my son is growing into that guy. I have an "I'm cold, put on a sweatshirt" wife.

If the core is warm it's all good!

That's the New England uniform. And someone just enjoying their day with their dog.

These guys always have massive calves. Very rarely is this a move for someone with chicken legs

Wasn’t that cold tbh.

Some guy is just out for a walk with a dog, and now his photo is posted online, because you're new to the area and don't know how to handle the cold?

yes, OP has invited us to judge a stranger for doing normal human things.

Shorts in February is not normal and wasn't a thing until 15-20 years ago. I remember when New Englanders were stoic and pragmatic and not "ooh everyone look how impervious to winter I am" fucktards.

As a New Englander for more than 40 years, I can tell you there has always been a subset of people who wear shorts year-round. But 15-20 years ago people started posting their photos online for you to see. And apparently you were angry about it.

Before that, only their moms got upset about it, and only because it made the moms cold to see it.

CoolAbdul t1_j9sdwt7 wrote

Well, I've got twenty years on you and it's always been a "look at me, look at me, look at how tough I am" move, and I never saw anyone doing it until the 90's at least.

If you were alive 30 years ago you'd recall them then also. But you weren't. So DO tell us all about your world.

MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qe533 wrote

I’ve lived in the cold my entire life, it’s just a little joke, relax.

As you can see, this photo doesn’t identify the person as anything other than a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.

pillbinge t1_j9qemas wrote

You're rationalizing. It's a photo of someone just going about, with a dog that someone may even recognize. Maybe they're on here. We can't readily identify the person but that's a rule of thumb for the media, not posters online. Most people wouldn't like this.

>a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.

Right, but then it's not remarkable, which is also something to consider. Post yourself, not people doing nothing wrong.

CoolAbdul t1_j9qhdvn wrote

Do you honestly think ANYONE can recognize that dog from that photo?

MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qfe1l wrote

Public parks are just that, public. You can have no reasonable expectation of privacy there and also it’s a joke about a specific Massachusetts stereotype, relax.

I wear short shorts when I run unless it’s <15F (with windchill) but on a walk…that’s just wild lol

Remember when you could just be comfortable in public without people taking pictures of you, and posting it online.

If you work out a lot, it always feels like you're burning. A thermogenesis effect.

They must be feeling that.

I do this when it's 32 degrees. I'm a lot less likely to do it when it's 22 or 12.
