How about in everyday public....short and showing or to the knee and less showing.
I tend to be on the conservative side myself and my shorts break right above the knee but I was surprised I was in the minority when I asked this question on my personal Facebook page today.
So I am throwing it out there.....what's your preference? There are no wrong answers, I am just a very curious man.
Photo: I picked this photo first of all because it is sexy but also because his shorts are neither short short or long. I didn't want my photo to bias the feedback.

I used to wear Daisy Dukes when I had legs and an ass! But that was a long time ago.
I think most men wear shorts that are too long. The longer shorts so popular now work well for tall men and young men, but guys like me who are short and...well...not as young...really look better in shorts that hit us a little higher above the knee. I'm not, of course, talking about Daisy Dukes, but a few stores sell shorts that are a tasteful compromise.
Slightly above the knee
Shorts are overdue to be short again. Remember what we wore in the 70's? Fashion goes in cycles and short length shorts are different and really, how many different pairs of cargo shorts do you need?
I'm above the knee now but would go shorter if I could find them. Kind-of-a-problem when you live in the burbs.
those are a decent length, any shorter they would ride up alot when you sit down.
I think it depends on the activity.

At the gym I wear shorts to the knee. Once I can get muscular legs (and a tan) I plan to go shorter length and show off more.
I have always worn longer length shorts but mostly because i didn't have the legs to pull short shorts off... but now i do and i plan on buying myself a pair of chubbies...
To answer the question i think men look really hot in shorter shorts and i think if you have the legs for it go for it. Even if you don't, i still say go for it, Men are limited in options and i am very glad that short shorts have made a huge comeback! and come on how sexy are mens legs and thighs WOOF...

Well, Dave, you know my thoughts from your FB page....but for the guys looking for mid-thigh shorts, Columbia, Eastern Mtn Sports, and other sporting goods shops that sell Hiking Shorts have the right length :-)
Love Short shorts, It's about time they came back. Show off those legs & strut
In australia we have never stopped wearing short shorts, they are an australian football invention... Thats why we are called the lucky country ;)
is there any other kind?
American men have never been known for dressing well. The shorts many wear are almost as long as Capri pants. At that length, what's the point of wearing shorts at all ?
I go both ways with shorts. I still have decent enough legs (at 45) that I still get compliments from 20-somethings. It all depends on the activity.
I think it all depends on the activity too. When I lift weights at the gym in Southie I stick with shorts just above the knee. I see some guys who wear short shorts and have nice legs but it just looks like too much advertising and they are usually gay. I find guys who hid it a little but you know they have a rocking body to be really hot.
On another note, what about socks. I'm finding that more younger athletic guys are wearing taller socks versus the anklets. A guys with a hot body, shorts above the knee and tall socks rock my world.
I love sexy short shorts. I stay in the hot tropical country in Malaysia. I have reasons to wear a very short shorts. :)
I only wear longer shorts, to or below the knee. I just don't feel comfortable wearing short shorts, it feels weird to me. Although there are definitely guys who can sexily pull it off.
I wear ultra short jogging shorts only in my yard and get a lot of strange looks from what appears to be 'Conservative' morons. I smirk at these imbeciles.
Even though I own cargo shorts, I rarely wear them...they're way to hot. I may as well wear long pants/jeans.
In my house I wear ultra short daisy dukes.
At 55, my legs and ass are smooth, toned and tanned.
I work out 3x's weekly.
I have a strong buffed body, hard legs, a nice tan, and a cute ass - and prissy people expect me to hide all this under long baggy shorts, like I'm some homophobic frat brother? No way! I like shorts with a three inch inseam, which is what men's gym shorts were in the eighties anyway. Any shorter than that and your knickers tend to peek out to flirt, though I've met some hot men (And some hot women too!) that way! (With a 46" chest and 16" arms, I'm not too concerned about what people think!) Hey - if ya got it, flaunt it! (Women figured this out a long time ago!)
