Shirtless Men - Page 7

LonestarBabs · ‎06-26-2011

I'm in Texas and even with our scorching heat I don't see a lot of shirtless men. However, there is one sight burned into my eyeballs that I may never be rid of....

In my previous suburban neighborhood, there was a stocky man of Eastern European (think Czech, Romania, Poland, etc.) descent who went for a vigorous and highly animated walk every morning. He was extremely hairy, especially on his chest, back and arms. Wore nothing but a tiny pair of red shorts and tennis shoes while he swung his arms to and fro -- had a big grin on his face as he traveled along one of the busiest streets in the area. It was one of those "look/don't look" moments.

@Chrystaltree2. Yeah, right, not an office setting. Coulda fooled me & a lot of other people. Guess those offices, desks, chairs, copiers & computers are just an illusion.

Colleges..... they have offices but colleges really aren't office settings. Of course, you'd see shorts and other casual wear in a college or university. I'm pretty sure Condoleeze and Madeline didn't dress like they were secretary of state back in the day....lol.

@Chrystaltree2 I beg to differ. The administration part of the college is an office setting - it certainly is at the college where I went. Students coming for interviews, alumni doing business with the school, fundraising, etc. my college administrative staff is certainly in business attire, even those in charge of the alumni magazine.

I'm thinking Apple might allow employees to wear shorts to work - look how casual Steve Jobs was at work.

@LonestarBabs Good illustration of my point on this thread. At least he didn't sit down at a picnic table for a meal with you. <eek>

Ugh...summer....shirtless men and to much skin on women showing.....my neighbor across the stree thinks it is OK to mow shirtless, he does not have the body for that look.

I just have to look away, my husband would never get away with going shirtless....not that he has any desire to but if he did I would nicely explain why he should not do it.

I really dislike seeing shirtless men in day-to-day activities. On the beach/at a pool is fine, but men who don't wear shirts at their jobs or elsewhere in public are not my cup of tea.

One particular example: an older couple (late 50s/early 60s) delivers our lttile neighborhood newspaper published by our larger newspaper. The man never wears a shirt once the weather starts to get warm and his naked top half - potbelly and all - isn't exactly the most attractive site, esp once it gets really hot out and sweat is pouring off him. He's doing his job - delivering papers, but really, please put on a shirt. Even men mowing lawns should wear shirts - their bodies just are not - with perhaps a few exceptions - very appealing.

We have many outdoor concerts / festivals going on in warmer months. I don't care to see naked-top-half men at these events either. Agree or disagree?

@dw pearly A little present for you, Pearly

@Pearlee think of this as strictly a fashion statement!

If the man looks good without a shirt, I'm all for it. If the man weighs 300 pounds, no way.

I walk during my lunch break and there's a regular route that I follow. There's an older man who's quite a bit overweight and who mows his postage-sized yard with a huge riding mower....short shorts and no shirt. I always think that maybe he should be using a push-mower to get a bit of exercise. Ick. Just ick. Nothing like man-boobs and a huge belly to turn me off of lunch!
