Female "pups": Why mostly non-tech suits?

Since there has been observation on this forum that most younger female (not male) swimmers at Nationals wore non-tech suits (the 18-24 and 25-29 groups), I'm curious as to why. Anyone of that younger group look at this board and care to post reasons? Cost? Controversy over "authenticity" of times when fastest suits are banned? Desire to look hot for guys, as one poster suggests?

  • Interesting. I do get the whole "we're different" thing, however I do think man has a pretty good grasp on free choice. I've noted that usually when something is important, and multi-tasking is indeed involved, it does get done (again, only using my hubby as an example). Guys CAN multi-task if it's important enough to them, I guess is my point. The problem lies, therein, are the same things important to men and women? (Perhaps we should take this to the NSR thread?)
