Not singing the "Thong Song" anymore

In the late 90s, it was briefly cool to let the thong hang out above the beltline.

Numerous women took that as a chance to express themselves in lace, polyester and all manner of elastic material. Sometimes it just looked painful.

Styles have changed, and underwear is now often below the waists of those low-rise jeans. But a few have failed to catch on to this decade. Really, if things are going well enough, us fellas will see them eventually.

So, a few questions.

Is it really that sexy, in public, to let it all hang out? Has there been a prospect that you shut off due to too much undies on the outies?

well, if she's wearing some of those really tight pants and doesn't want any panty lines, I don't see where the problem is. If she has the thong high up on the waist, I would just assume that I'm supposed to give her a dollar.

First off - public display of your underwear is just tacky. This, in my opinion, goes both for guys and girls. I don't want to see your boxers. And I certainly don't want to see your butt floss, as a good friend of mine refers to thongs.

Secondly - the low-rise pants question is tough, and it makes choosing underwear difficult. I recently read an article in some women's magazine about the increasing number of women going commando because it's easier than finding undies that, well, stay underneath.

I'd think guys would find that idea - is she or isn't she? - much more sexy than looking at some girl's skanky-looking thong showing over the back of her pants. That is, as long as the girl in question isn't pulling a Britney Spears (or Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton - take your pick).

Yeah the idea of "is she or isn't she?" is definitely a thought. But please...britney? they are all more fun when they are screwing up their lives... after they've screwed up everything, there is no more fun to be had.

Never, even in the 90's was that sexy.
