Stupid question--undies with shorts?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No I think he really meant stigmata...that has to do with un-explained bleeding right??? I'm pretty sure that might have something to do with it??

Uh, stigmata would imply that someone'd been crucified... Or they'd been impressed upon the person by divine favour.

Women, having different junk than men, will sometimes discharge "stuff" that tends to ruin $100 shorts. Hence the $10 lycra underwear that Performance sells. My wife's a big fan. And no I'm not talking about monthly stuff, this is everyday stuff.

For a sport known to attract masochists, there seem to be an awful lot of posts regarding comfort on this issue.

ya sry, i meant sigma.

one reason for it culd also b becuz with guys the lyrca short covers similar amount of skin as boxers so they already think they is wearing undies on a physiolgical level, whereas with teh ladiez, they be used to wearing the panties and so that lyrcra short isn't a comparably form factor to that so they dont have the psychologistal perseption that the shorts are like undies so they'll more prone to waring panties beneath the bike shorts. it's probably a unconscious and sublymonal disision.

im going to ask my friend who is a psychiatrist and ask him what he finds out

This is a funny Thread. Where undies if you want. Just do not start another thread asking why your crouch has soars on it, or why does private areas stank. HAHAHAHAHA. While you are throwing on the old undies under the biking shorts you might want to use lots Camois Cream.

I have to agree. Don't tell me about any soars you may have on your crouch.

(whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.)

You sure you meant sigma? As in the Greek letter? Trying to provide a summation of your argument, or find out how many standard deviations away from the mean most of these posts are?

Trying to find the cross product of all User IDs within this thread...

No... I meant stigma, I just can't spell very well. By now I've forgetten what my original context for the word was, but I'm sure it was part of an incredibly pointful and well thought out post.
