I wear short shorts when I run unless it’s <15F (with windchill) but on a walk…that’s just wild lol

These guys always have massive calves. Very rarely is this a move for someone with chicken legs

Some guy is just out for a walk with a dog, and now his photo is posted online, because you're new to the area and don't know how to handle the cold?

I’ve lived in the cold my entire life, it’s just a little joke, relax.

As you can see, this photo doesn’t identify the person as anything other than a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.

You're rationalizing. It's a photo of someone just going about, with a dog that someone may even recognize. Maybe they're on here. We can't readily identify the person but that's a rule of thumb for the media, not posters online. Most people wouldn't like this.

>a dude who wears shorts and a hoodie in cold weather and/or snow, which there are a lot of in this state.

Right, but then it's not remarkable, which is also something to consider. Post yourself, not people doing nothing wrong.

Remember when you could just be comfortable in public without people taking pictures of you, and posting it online.

That's the New England uniform. And someone just enjoying their day with their dog.

If you work out a lot, it always feels like you're burning. A thermogenesis effect.

They must be feeling that.

As a New Englander for more than 40 years, I can tell you there has always been a subset of people who wear shorts year-round. But 15-20 years ago people started posting their photos online for you to see. And apparently you were angry about it.

Before that, only their moms got upset about it, and only because it made the moms cold to see it.

Well, I've got twenty years on you and it's always been a "look at me, look at me, look at how tough I am" move, and I never saw anyone doing it until the 90's at least.

I do this when it's 32 degrees. I'm a lot less likely to do it when it's 22 or 12.
