Uh, no. Those shorts are too European / homosexual. Refer to Slims' statement on said short pants.
And that isn't me. Dude (we assume despite the pants) is too tan and has leg muscles. This is me:
The 5% of the time I'm not in pants, I'm usually wearing short-shorts like that.
I use them as underwear and swim trunks as well. They're all purpose.
The goal is practicality, the side effect is being awkward around my peers.
Sometimes I wear cargo shorts that hit the knee but that's pretty rare.
