Once it hits a certain temperature why do men have to take their tops off?!

[Soubriquet]

I mean, everyone else copes but no the poor man has to show he’s extra hot by taking off his top

I know

Unless you're in perfect shape do not take your top off

Just distasteful

Suns out guns out.

This lunchtime there was a man (think Bernard Manning) in the pub garden showing off his hairy nipples which had 'mild' and 'bitter' tattooed underneath them.

Chipping Norton??

I'm a woman, but I suspect in some cases at least, it's more to do with not having brought out a spare t-shirt and being faced with the choice of being out in a soaking wet t-shirt dripping with sweat or taking it off.

Neither option is fun and other people's sweat is gross, but as someone who's gone through several tops today through rushing about and getting quite sweaty, I can see why a man might choose to ditch the t-shirt rather than walk around soaking wet.

The same reason as some women, regardless of age or shape, choose to over expose their bodies to a wider public, I imagine. 🤷‍♀️

Oh do be serious, it's a world away from wanking in public.

Don't understand why people get worked up about it, it's just a human body FGS.

Now picturing Lord Dave Cameron of Chipping Norton all day cider drinking with livid sunburn and a knotted union jack hanky on his head.

@scrapsontheside

deoends where you live really. It's been a beautiful day here and around 25°.

No it would be nice if everyone could cover their tops up please. It's a sun safety thing and also it keeps them clean.

@AmelieTaylor 24° where I am

It’s mostly the men who wear football shirts the rest of the time, so presumably that nylon gets very very sweaty and uncomfortable.

Go to France and this does not happen. The French have some style.

Where it would be unacceptable for a woman to be topless same should apply to men.

"asserting their masculinity over the public"
@MateysMusing comment of the day for me.

I can remember the under boob trend, where the bottom of the tits would pop out of a cropped top. Just why the fuck would you? Same goes for men with tops off. Just stop it.

It’s not all men to be fair. Just the lower class ones.

It’s very skanky. Should be ‘no tops, no service’ in shops.

Our local council estate co-op always has some revolting scrote shopping with no top on as soon as warm weather appears.

We have a holiday place in Florida. It’s properly hot there, obvs. You would never, ever see a guy shopping with no top on.

Men,
"It's not that hot, and neither are you. Put your top on"

Best,
Women

I work in a pub and twice today I've had to tell men to put their tops on.
No top, they have to leave, even in the beer garden. No one wants to see it!

Although when I went to wash my hands in the ladies, there was a woman in tiny shorts leaning over the sink with her bum cheeks hanging out and that certainly wasn't a sight I wanted to see either.

I get sweaty under there so sounds good to me

Na na na nana naaaah!

I’ve always hated this too. I always find it a bit intimidating.

I properly snorted.

I have an Italian friend who moved here last October so she hadn't experienced English "summer". The first time we had any warm weather this year she messaged me to ask why there were lots of fat pasty men walking around naked.
She says she was really happy to finally see some sun here but now she's not so sure.

I absolutely hate it. It looks pathetic. As a large bosomed woman permanently in a structured bra it gives me the rage. If I can tolerate the heat so can you.

Same goes for women walking around half naked too, I genuinely think those shorts with the bit that goes up your bum should not be allowed in public. But then I feel we should have higher standards in public in general, walking around in PJs isn't OK either in my book.

In many hotter counties even very liberal ones, there are basic requirements, no beach clothes in restaurants etc. I don't see why shopping centres or public transport can't have stricter policies here.

It’s very basic behaviour isn’t it. Showing their monkey origins. Fine for beach only imo
