Summer is fast approaching, which means swimsuit season will soon be upon us.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a perfectly chiseled physique or rock hard six-pack to look good in a swimsuit. (Just check out these vintage photos of men looking super hot in swim trunks.) Sure, Tom Daley could easily be mistaken for a Greek god in a speedo, but he’s the exception that makes the rule. Not having a “perfect” body can be just as sexy.
Scroll down to see photos of real men looking damn fine in swim gear.

@PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID: ooops sorry not you #1, I meant #3. Try not to be to distraught!
PRINCE OF SNARKNESS aka DIVKID
The guys @#4 have the best bodies IMO, but for some reason I’m not getting any sex appeal. And I’m mentally Photoshopping the guys on my list anyway LOL

So according to QUEERTY to be a ‘real men’ you have to be unattractive?
And it’s funny because clearly the editors picked the ones they find hot and by previous articles on this site, these are the type of men that they find attractive – hairy and bear like rather than the classically good looking ones.

gays… chill out, already!
I love that set of pics. First b/c no one is wearing board shorts, second b/c they’re a little older, third b/c they’re diverse & not perfect but still beautiful bodies.
My faves are curvy #3, the white bathing suit w/ the mirrored glasses, & red boxy suit for those incredible nipples.

What a bunch of whiny babies….so you like the guys or don’t…BFD! This is Queerty, Not the official gay rules and guide for str8’s to make assumptions about us. @Dylan: Really!?! Seriously…Not that serious! Go outside and take a walk in a park or something….Breathe my brother!

@Dylan: A lot of those guys have hairy bellies hanging over their speedos. There are some muscle bodies here, but there’s also a lot of “reality” too.

Anyone else notice porn star Tim Kruger in there?
Dxley
Sorry, not for me. I like ’em slim and trim, tattoo-free and clean-shaven!

I don’t think a man’s “realness” is determined by the invisibility of his abdominal muscles.

Some people were born to wear trunks. That is the hard truth.

carey579:
Cheer up!I mean that mean more greek Gods for you.
I like these Pics…What is attractive to you leaves me bored.I live in Berlin.And I am clearly not the only one who is not dreaming of Greek Gods here.I just can’t determine the difference between Astronauts and Porn Stars…

The guys in the 4th photo–and a few others–actually look pretty chiseled and what would be conventionally considered hot. So, I’m wondering why they are included here. If their bodies are considered imperfect then we have imposed some very impossible standards on ourselves.

@ all you Queens: bitch & whine, bitch & whine, bitch & whine! Most men aren’t undie/swimsuit models, or body-obsessed gym freaks. I’m not into chubs, but do prefer an “average body with some “love handles. Anyway, that’s what makes a horserace.
Paco
Not usually one to body shame (because I am far from perfect), but fashion choices are fair game… Speedos should only be sold in a size small. Just sayin.
Also, what makes these particular men “real”? Did you mean to say average men?
Boytoy
Not my preferred body type,but yes queerty everyone is beautiful in their own way.
Boytoy
Also,what the hell is a “real” man and what constitutes as a “fake” one?
Boytoy
Give me numbers 9 12 14 18 and 20.

I would really love to see more cultural diversity. PLEASE
DivotMan
Okay, I live on the coast of VA and there is maybe 1 out of 50 guys that wears a speedo or square cut suit. It’s only board shorts here.
hotshot70
most of these guys aren’t too bad. At least they are real, not Ken dolls. But I still would not do the Shammoo!
darkanser
@Bromancer7 At first, I thought you were mistaken — I mean how could I miss Tim Kruger– but there he is in a blue bikini/speedo. I must have skipped him as I was perusing. I like that there is a variety of men — albeit a preponderance of bear types, no problem there.
