Subject: Wife hates speedos!
My wife doesn't like speedos. She also is never at the pool where I swim (10,000 meters this week). She also wasn't on the ocean race I did this summer to Bermuda (nor on the beach there). I am physically fit, like wearing speedos, and I now have a decent speedo tan. Am I being unreasonable? The trunks were on (over speedos) for the family vacation at the beach, but I refuse to swim in a burka. I realize not everybody wants to wear one, but I don't understand the speedo hate out there.

Maybe on some European beaches they are bit more acceptable...  But even then, I'll pass.

I always thought middle aged men in colourful board shorts look like miserably failed attempts to revive their youth/hook up younger ladies/be friends with their teenage sons.

Bust out a straight banana hammock for a month or so. She'll be begging you to wear a Speedo and probably never bring it up again.

It's funny, there are so many people who hate even the thought of running, or even of jogging slowly! I can't imagine my life without it.
