Why are briefs so unliked in american society?

Mmm, I think because they are associated with little boys, and grown adults find seeing a grown man in tighty whiteys strange, as if they still are little boys.\n\n\nI personally think they look goofy.  I'm Canadian tho lol

Because men are feminized now.  it is really difficult to meat a true man these days.  i cannot stand that style at all. i especially cannot stand it when boys wear girl jeans with glittery belts....

Because we all want be successful and resent those we feel are more successful than we are.\nIt's basically one big inferiority complex.\n\nAnd it's NOT unique to Americans.

Well, personally I don't like long hair, too much of a hassle to clean and makes me feel like a chick.  But guys that do have long hair have it because they believe it makes them look good.  This style is not for everyone, though.  Guys and the showing of underwear...  I assure you that most guys will not publicly humiliate themselves by having their underwear showing.  My opinion is that they are trying to be harder than they really are because thugs and gangstas are supposed to (are at least that how their portrayed on television usually) where they clothes that reveal they undies.  Tell this guy "FYI, thugs and gangsta wore there pants like you are wearing yours because they didn't have money to buy belts, and back in the '80s up to about mid-'90s it was actually considered trifling."

Probably the same reason that I get a little better treatment from a server at a restaurant if I have on a suit and tie, instead of a shorts and a T shirt.  Appearance does matter.  Not saying it changes the person, but the way one is perceived.

Not just non caucasion....black men and those who wish they were. Yes, it is a very popular "pose" here as well. I dont think it is that they are holding their goods. It is that they are holding their pants up. They wear them so low that they have to keep them up somehow, and by holding their crotch, they can keep their pants from falling to their knees and maintaining a studly stance. It serves a function as well as fashion. Lol!!!!!

Most people have absolutely no desire to show their genitals in public. It's not the law that's holding them back. They just don't want to be exposed. Even if it were legal most people would not do it. The law-makers just reflect the public attitudes.\n\nBesides, clothes offer men discreet privacy so the whole world does not know if they are in an aroused state versus an unaroused state because most people make eye contact and look at another's face unless something is so obvious in their peripheral vision that even with eye contact they would know. A lot of people don't really look too closely so clothes give men the privelage of the whole world not knowing when they are or are not particularly excited.

I have found this to be very unfair and annoying that society is so very rigid with men.  Women can wear men's clothes and it's not looked at twice, but if a man wears woman's clothes, the entire society flips out.  I think that it's taught by the parents to the children of each generation.  I also hope that as each generation lightens up a bit, these rigid rules lighten up.

I agree with you.  I like boxer briefs too.  I think I like the comfort of having everything supported without the look of just a brief.  I wear boxers for most of the week and wear boxer briefs maybe once or twice.

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

although uniforms are put in place to protect poorer students from ridicule based on their lack of designer clothes or recent trends, in my experience this fails...miserably\n\neven though everyone has the same uniform, people can still incorporate designer wear into it...for example black trousers and black shoes, to most at my school, means black Armani jeans and prada shoes...the bags are designer too and often the coats. even though there is a uniform it is still clear who has money and who doesn't...so this argument is null and void\n\nto add to this i find it disturbing that individuality is crushed and freedom of expression through ones clothing is prevented. We should not be encouraged to follow the crowd or become a militant cloned like society!\n\nanyone who values freedom and individuality would oppose uniform.

Boxer briefs personally, but almost everyone I know wears boxers (uggh).

they probably just said that to annoy you. I don't have one but I din't personally like it. The people who find out that you had one are perverts, or extremmely bored!

I'm a guy.  I think they do it because it's taboo to touch your underwear.  Keep in mind that guys aren't immune.  You can do the same thing to them when they're wearing braces (suspenders).
