Tights/pantyhose were worn more by men than women throughout history till recently.

don't make me find some ugly photos of women in tights.

I can think of lots of ideas worse than pantyhose for men.

Like voting for John McCain.

Oh wait-thats the only one I can think of.

Bad, bad idea... he looks like he should be participating in the Tour de France!

By "get into shape" you seem to mean go to a gym and work on body-modification to look fashionable. How odd that you have been sold on that! The marketing industry is certainly effective.

So many men with gym bodies have little or no physical stamina in the real world - they get tired and sore easily when asked to do actual physical labor. But they prize the illusion of fitness - how sad. And then they put pantyhose over it and think "how cool I am!"

Stupid idea, tights pull out your leg hair.

Oh, wait, these are the same people who want men to shave their legs and wax their pubes and try to look 14 their whole lives.

Yech.

I think they would look good with a $520 pair of Ferragamo loafers.

Damn you for putting that image in my head!! Ew, ew ew!!

Yup, panty hose for men is the WORST idea of all time. No doubt about it. I don't care how hot the guy looks, he just looks like he's got a fruit basket inside the pants. STOP PLEASE!

Mel Brooks had it right when he wrote the song for "Robin Hood: Men in Tights". All I can say is "do the bulges come with the pantyhose?" Is that a codpiece or are you just happy to see me?

Hahaha! That's a great movie and really apropos here!

Nothing new they flopped last time they tried it with Joe Namath doing the adverts, called mantyhose.

That guy pulls off the panythose look quite well. Except they look more like aerobics leggings.

THE WORST IDEA OR THE BEST? THINK OF THE BENEFITS!

Hold on! I think this is the best idea to come along on men's fashion in ages! But, only really cute guys should wear them, like the model in the picture. Any man without a great body and face who wants to wear them, must also dress like they did in the middle ages through the beginning of the 19th century.

If pantyhose for men do come into fashion, the best thing which could happen is that men start getting into shape so they can wear these items without looking silly, which could definitely benefit not only themselves, but save society billions of dollars in health costs. Narcissism can be a good thing if ones wants and works to look and be healthy.
