Simple question. Why don't Dominican men wear shorts.
I live in SD and see Dominican men in shorts all the time...both families next to me are Lawyers,and they,the men, are always in shorts,nice dress shorts when not in suits...lots of long basketball shorts on younger men...I agree with the respectability thing, but I believe they don't feel the heat quite as much as gringos do, and are less motivated to wear them.
Hm, a question which has to do with length, right?
Let me think....

If you see a dominican in shorts, you will notice that the same person also speaks perfect english. Yes, you have guessed it, its a dom-york.

AZB, what do you call yourself?
Why are you so offensive against New Yorker's?
Where are you from?
There are dumb people all over the world. Learn how to spell the word dumb.
I do not know you and hope I never get in contact with you because I will show you how dumb New Yorkers can be!!!!gre:

AZB is a Pakistani chiropractor living in Santiago. If I am not mistaken he either grew up in NY or Atlanta. He has a problem with Dominicans that are from NY who visit the DR (specially Santiago) and steal all his chicas LOL
All jokes aside - everyone is entitled to their own opinion. AZB doesn't like flashy Dominicans (as he has called them in the past). This topic has been beaten to death on this board. Do a search and you will find the posts.
Back on topic - I am Dominican, grew up and live in NYC. I wear shorts when I'm in the DR. However, I only wear shorts during the day when it's so damn hot. When the sun starts dying down is when I take my third shower of the day and dress into jeans.
None of my family members/friends in the DR wear shorts. Only time they wear them is to be in the house or to go to the beach. Note - They pack shorts - they don't wear them to the beach.
I guess it has to do with what others have said here. It's just not standard.
