Men in Thongs, No, No, No!

So the anchorage we’re in has a few other boats, mostly French, and they all seem to know one another, and being British, we are a bit of an oddity here, and definitely out numbered.  There’s a lot of constant activity with people going from boat to boat in their dinghy’s, and one guy in particular provides us with endless entertainment as he proudly stands up while driving his dinghy wearing only a bright turquoise thong, although Daniela informed me that it wasn’t actually a thong, more of a sock with some dental floss attached! “I can’t help wondering what the croc would have thought, “less chewable fabric to get caught in the teeth, and immediate access to the meat!  Please don’t read more into this statement”.

While I am absolutely not a fan of men wearing thongs (unless they’re gorgeous Italian models), or in fact any male over the age of 5 wearing  a Speedo, I have to say I have always loved the French, I admire their couldn’t care less attitude to life, they truly don’t give a damn; they always do exactly what they want to do, and usually with a style and panache that most of us can only envy.

In defense of the turquoise thong clad Frenchman, I have to add that he did have a great figure, and a fabulous tan (in comparison horrific images of my parchment white ass spring to mind) and I have to say only the French and Italian men can usually get away with this sort of exhibitionist behavior.

The majority of men over the age of 30 it seems commonly sport fat rolls and huge beer guts covered with hair like inhabitants from the local zoo; and the idea of any of them prancing around in a thong is both disturbing and scary.

While discussing the topic with Daniela, we both collapsed with laughter when attempting to name men we know who would look good in a thong, we both agreed, American and English men are far more attractive when appropriately dressed in fashionably long shorts, and the thongs left to the Italians and the French. 

Sometimes more is better!
P.S.
As I'm attempting to avoid any law suits, I declined from posting pictures of the offending men!
