Topless man in town . A pet hate of mine .

[TotemPolly]

Is it just me who hates seeing men ( of any age / physique ) walking about in busy places & out and about , topless .
It just seems so grim .

I live in a hot country and it's not nice to see men or women walking around in swimwear (away from the beaches). Would you like to work in a supermarket and put up with tourists all day with their bellies, tits and arses hanging out? It's disrespectful and shows contempt for locals.

It's tacky. Don't care how fit they are.

But not when other people have to see it surely. How we behave does affect the rest of society, and for some it’s unsociable behaviour.

I don't like it. It wouldn't bother me enough to say anything but I just don't think its necessary. Just wear a t shirt.

Yes, like there's hordes of women in skimpy bikinis walking down the high street.

It’s revolting.

I have actually complained in our nearest coop (it’s in the local grotty estate) about them allowing topless skanky men into the shop. I don’t want to look at lily white, puny tattooed torsos, naff tattoos and sunburnt arms the first day the sun comes out. Yes, I am that person. 😂

For comparison, we have a holiday home in SW Florida and in 20 years, I have never once seen a man enter a shop with no top on. It’s unthinkable.

Depends on the physique 😆

Not football post!

It really doesn’t. It’s crass and mannerless no matter what.

Not the FA cup post!

Can I share something with you all...... I was sat on the bus on the way home from work on the row of side seats. Busy rush hour, people standing, a person gets on with black tights (just tights no skirt) with big randomly placed circular holes (not just holes from shoes, ladders up the leg I suspect deliberately cut). One hole was at their groin. The line between their hip and gut was 6 inches from my face. Fortunately a seat became free and they went and sat down. So I do agree with those who think it matters what people wear in public. I haven't fully recovered.

The number of tattoos on show is grim too.

🤣🤣🤣

I'd love to do that but I fear getting rotten fruit/veg thrown at me 😂
As long as they don't brush against me with their man sweatiness, I'm meh.

In public it is unnecessary and disrespectful. And it doesn’t make you less hot - in actual hot countries the only people doing it are tourists from cold countries.

I hate it too, OP. Especially the topless runners or doing sport in public.

I can’t get upset about it but it does scream look at me.. it’s always the skinny chav men who do it

I used to work weekends in a supermarket and, as soon as the sun came out, all the taps came off. I was a cashier so I'd be sitting and just be at stomach and nipple level. It was gross. Shops and indoor public spaces just shouldn't be clothing optional places.

I really don’t like it, muscly or no. I suppose it’s a personal choice though so I look elsewhere.

You don’t see many of those in Sainsbury’s though!
It is absolutely Baltic in our local Sainsbury's, you need thermals on to survive a shopping trip!

In America there are signs: No shirt, no service.

I think I dislike it because as women we're not 'allowed' to do the same. Societal norms say we can't/shouldn't do it.

We get hot too!

TAPS AFF weather🤪🤣

I think it's a bit grimy and inappropriate.

I don't care tbh. I don't care about women with their butt's hanging out or wearing leggings(another mn pet hate) either. Let people wear or not wear what they want. Seeing someone's fat hairy stomach isn't going to make anyones eyes fall out, it doesnt actually hurt anyone.

Only appropriate on a beach . Or in your garden , etc. Not in shops , high streets , restaurants. You wouldn't be allowed in many places like that . Or bikini tops either. " No shirts , no shoes , no service " is normal in US .
