Love how comfy athletic shorts are, but at the same time, I love the storage capabilities of cargos. I'd say athletic shorts are ahead by a hair.

If I'm going out, cargo. If I'm lounging around the house or just looking for comfort, soccer shorts.

Athletic shorts, but if I'm out of the house for anything non-athletic they need pockets. I'm wearing a pair right now

I'm not sure what type of basketball shorts you have but all of the shorts I have, have pockets. I never carry more than my cellphone, keys, and wallet so the 2 side pockets are plenty of space. Basketball shorts are too damn comfy.

Just buy tennis shorts.  They have front pockets for tennis balls, and every pair that I have has a back pocket for your wallet.

Gotta agree with her on this one. Only time athletic shorts are acceptable in my eyes is if you are doing something athletic, or just lounging around at home.

i don't think it's shallow, i think there's a reason they call things like jogging pants or etc. there's a time and place, and i don't frankly enjoy people who roll out of bed with their pyjamas on. i appreciate people who take the time to make themselves look presentable, and i think it says a lot about your quality of life if you want to look lazy.

opinion.

I try my best to look good, I don't feel like explaining it to you, but I always keep myself in check.

That said, nothing is more relaxing than finishing a long day of class, throwing my ballin sweatpants on, grabbing a hoodie, and indulging in a Game with my friends.  There is nothing wrong with public relaxation.  There would be something wrong with me if I didnt like wearing boardshorts and laying around outside, or lounging about in comfy pants.

no, what i'm saying is YOU are shallow

If you want to see me with my pajamas on looking like i just rolled out of bed, i will be wearing boxer and be unshowered.

how are nice, solid blue athletic shorts and a white t shirt not presentable? am i going in for a job interview every time i see you?
And how does that make me look lazy? i think it makes me look the complete opposite. I'm showing off my athletic body and the fact that i have athletic clothes because im an athletic person who runs around and plays sports and what not

I think your just extremely judgmental and need to lighten up and actually get to know someone before you judge them

No man, shit is true.  I have about 5 pairs of Levis but I never wear them unless I am riding a horse.  One time I was wearing pajamas in my room at school, then the RA from a floor up saw me... AND I WASNT SLEEPING... she gave me 20 hours worth of service to do.
