For the fashion inclined
Yeah, if you look like the guy in that picture, and I'm happy to say my masculinity is intact and that I don't.

I do see a lot of more hip-hop (sorry, not sure what else to call it) looking guys wearing shorts so long that they might as well be capris.
Mine look like this but grey.

I might wear these if I'm walking on the beach, but otherwise far, far too feminine, imo.

Just wear shorts...better for the beach, and MUCH more manly.

Capris or 3/4s length pants FTW while climbing. The other week I discovered I could just roll up my pants halfway up my lower leg and get enough cooling for where i was while still protecting my knees. I might have looked like an idiot, but I would have been an "idiot" roping up on 5.13's ;)

Not usually. AFAIK it had nothing to do with being gay... but...

My roommate's best friend came out of the closet that year. It was a very traumatic experience for my roomie. I felt terrible for him. His buddy dropped by the room one day (they remained friends, albeit not nearly as close) - and he was wearing a long black skirt and he had suddenly developed a lispy quality to his speech.

We have a WINNAR!! Capris are for women or gay men only...Men might wear "clam-diggers", but they really weren't originally meant for men either. You get caught in capri-style pants, your mancard is revoked on the spot...

I'm not sure if you deserved one if you didn't have any problems wearing capri-style pants :p

That's Keira Knightly BTW.
those are just pants hacked off below the knee.

do capris for guys actually exist, or is the OP just confusing them with clam-diggers or not-quite-pants?

Men wear trousers. Women wear pants.

Men who wear capri pants are eleventy billion times worse than the Pink Polo Shirt douchebags who pop their collars. It's not even close. A beating is in order.

Capri pants on guys are big in Germany, but so far most of what I've seen of Europe is decidedly more effeminate than what I'm accustomed to in the states. I suppose, alternatively, Europeans must percieve us as brutish.
