He just runs hot, he is very comfortable in shorts and a hoodie.

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

I bet he's carrying an iced coffee in the hand that we can't see.

Wait, no tattoos?

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

Probably put the tattoo money into his IRA.

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?

its about the surface area : volume ratio

yes, OP has invited us to judge a stranger for doing normal human things.

Hopefully he avoid the harmful ice melt.
MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qe533 wrote
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.
MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qeiow wrote
It’s always nice when fathers and sons can bond over fashion, we need more of it.
MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qekt8 wrote
I can sadly confirm that he was not.
pillbinge t1_j9qemas wrote
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.

It's ok, he just drank it earlier
MelvilleMeyor OP t1_j9qfe1l wrote
Public parks are just that, public. You can have no reasonable expectation of privacy there and also it’s a joke about a specific Massachusetts stereotype, relax.

Me too. Always in shorts.

Oh right. Simple explanation. HE'S AN IDIOT.
CoolAbdul t1_j9qh2uw wrote
Shorts in February is not normal and wasn't a thing until 15-20 years ago. I remember when New Englanders were stoic and pragmatic and not "ooh everyone look how impervious to winter I am" fucktards.
CoolAbdul t1_j9qhdvn wrote
Do you honestly think ANYONE can recognize that dog from that photo?

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

Good correction to whom though. Big fan of people who get it.

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.
