Well my friend it depends on the type of butt that the female is sporting. Example a skinny butt does not look good on booty shorts, that would look more good on a thong. A nice round ass would look heavenly in booty short especially how the butt cheeks would be poking out. Now a flat booty or aspirin ass would look terrible in either and the cottage cheese would look disastreous. Now examples of females that look good on either would be:
Jessical Biel, Olivia De Lovely, Keyra Agustina, Jessica Alba, Melyssa Ford, Mayra Veronica, Vida Guerra and some other.
