Under-wear, Under-scrutiny

Tonight I was on the verge of writing a blogpost by myself about different types of underwear, but my flatmate chimed in, concerned I would provide too a harsh set of comments. 

This idea was triggered by a "vision" occurred to me in the swimming pool changing room where after seeing a woman's underwear I realized: I am biased against certain types of lingerie and the different people and occasions to wear them

The following table illustrates mine and Maiga's ideas about a specific kind of underwear and the people wearing them. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Also, don't take it personally if you see yourself in those categories. 

If you can't judge a book by its cover, why should you judge someone by his/her underwear?

Women

Men

	Maria	Maiga
Super Hero	Acceptable until age 15 and only to be in the mood for movies. An absolute don't if worn in other occasions or in public! Cute but then again it depends on the superhero and age. Flash and Spiderman win over Green Lantern.	It depends on the age and the super hero.The choice of Superwoman can be empowering whether the choice of Spiderman or a spider web could be an alert. I wouldn't think less of a man with super hero underwear; it's rather cute. I'd definitely sleep with one who chooses He-man
Lace	Personally I don't like it that much, but definitely great in combination and also for those who can wear them with pride. Please avoid wearing them when the body doesn't really allow it. Definitely a surprise... or maybe not really.	All women, regardless of age and fit are allowed to use these. For example if I saw a 60+ overweight woman wearing these in the changing room I'd think "Good for her, she's having an affair". Not a turn on, it would raise some questions.
Animal Print	Many animal species are extinguishing, why place the human kind in the graph by starting to kill me? I dread animal printed stuff, and underwear doesn't make any difference... uhhh, and reptile one is the worst. Same thing as above and from a certain point of view, it's even creepier for men.	All animal underwear can be sexy and fun just like old kitsch things can be. Zebra, leopard and tiger seem neutral to me. I'd personally not choose any farm animal print such as a cow or any texture fabric emulating porcupines. Acceptable. Same comment as for women; personally I'd find dalmatian pattern rather childish and reptiles patterns completely off putting.
Minimal	Minimal underwear is very practical. It can be used as elastic for emergency repairs, as a sling and ultimately as bracelet. Definitely not wearable by me. Its manufacturing is with no doubt much more challenging because of more demanding requirements.	Not very hygienic, pretty uncomfortable, completely necessary and justifiable for certain occasions. The key is to ensure that the continuous use doesn't exceed, say, 5 hours. It is realistically less flattering as there is, hopefully, more to cover.
Boxers	Very roomy and comfortable. I agree with Maiga, if you got lucky last night don't brag about it. Baggy boxers are the worst, also it's ok to play with colors but not too much on patterns. No smileys and other cartoonish stuff.	Typical boyfriend look. If you're in a serious relationship or just got a lucky night, don't brag. Different from the female boxer version. Any color, any pattern, but if he's going to wear them they should fit perfectly.
Nothing	With no doubt very open and ventilated. Dangerous in winter.	Even less hygienic than the minimalist. It depends on the setting. Right after workout I'd think she/he forgot a clean change. Saturday night out of the house... I'm no one to judge :)
