I hate them

but dont mind them at the gym

although my old gym in london banned men from wearing vests 10 years ago

Is this the men in the gym thing?

I think they should drape them with a pashmina.

No, they don't, but I must admit using a piece of gym equipment that is still moist from someone else's perspiration does [blech] emoticon

omg i thought you meant on women!

no, that wouldn't bother me at all!!! some people are mad.
actually, to clarify my first statement, i don't like hairy armpits on women, but if i saw someone with them it wouldn't offend me or anything

actually at the gym i used to go to they provided a cleaning spray and if you had been v.sweaty you were supposed to just give the equipment a spray and a wipe down

I can't go to gyms, I find the whole ambiance so yuk...but sight of hairy armpits is well, it's just normal isn't it?

That's just gross. I don't see why there can't be a tshirts only policy across the board - men and women.

Think men in vests look gross anyway! And the thought of looking at a sweaty pair of pits, well, I can see their point!

really? even on men? do the people who don't like hairy armpits make their husbands/partners shave?

It's different when it's someone you care for. I mean, I can look at dh's bits now without laughing (just about) but that doesn't mean to say that I want to look at other men's bits does it? Egh!

If I'm at the gym then I at least I know it's just a nightmare and I'll wake up soon!

I wonder what would happen if I breastfeed publically in that gym while displaying my hairy armpits?

oh gizmo don't! lol
i used to work in a restaurant and this lady was in one summer just wearing a vest top. all of a sudden she just lifted the whole thing up, baring her boobs for the entire place to see, latched baby on and started feeding... AND she had the bushiest pits I ever saw!

now, i am totally fine with b/f in public... it was just a shock seeing these bra-less boobs being let loose in the middle of a rather staid national trust restaurant! pmsl

PMSL hunkermunker. Quick, call the police - I can see a hairy armpit and a flash (shudder) of male breast (lets face it, many men I see disporting themselves topless could give me a run for my money on breast size). Wonder if the police would pass on my complaints to them?

Maybe she should have knitted a small black hairy babygro for the baby - kinda to camouflague it.








OK, that's actually a pretty disgusting idea....
