To think that grown men shouldn't remove their shirts when the weathers hot

In the last few days I've seen some sights, very overweight men walking around with no tops on. Why do they think they can remove their tops in hot weather and not give a flying fuck what others have to look at.
Yes I'm being bitchy. As for them removing them walking around Asda that's just wrong.
Rant over!

I think it's foul myself and hate seeing people in public with their shirts off unless it's at a beach/pool etc..

I once had a guy who came onto the pub terrace without his shirt on and sat down and was told to put it on by management (thank god)

He was not happy.

My guess is that neither would the person who had his gross sweat stuck on their back from him having sat in his chair have been either

Fine at the beach, but revolting in town.

YANBU .Flies and people not wearing enough clothes are my summer pet hates.

katvond · 05/06/2011 14:47

On the beach I don't mind, but walking around the town and sitting in the cafe or supermarket that's a big No No

YANBU - in your own garden or at the beach ok.

Otherwise no one wants to see your nipples.

I think if they have the body for it and a six pack, and a hairy chest they most certainly SHOULD remove their shirts.

SecretNutellaFix · 05/06/2011 14:51

Beach/ swimming pool/ at home- fine, whatever.

When you go into town/ a shop, sweat pouring down a hairy and spotty back is very offputting and the lady behind the till is going to pull a face.

Punkatheart · 05/06/2011 14:51

But it is never the gorgeous rippled ones is it? It's always the moob carriers, the pasty, flabby men with hairy underarms. Sigh.

chicletteeth · 05/06/2011 14:52

Ha ha fabby Grin

There is always at least one exception to every rule

peppapighastakenovermylife · 05/06/2011 14:52

If they should we should be able to.

Not that I would but...

Why are women seen as disgusting for breastfeeding in public but men can walk around half naked and thats ok?

DoMeDon · 05/06/2011 14:53

YANBU - foul but then some people just shouldn;t leave the house full stop Grin

chicletteeth · 05/06/2011 14:53

Spotty back I find far grosser than big bellies.

Your big belly doesn't just erupt and ooze pus whilst walking down the high street in the heat.

My sister once screamed in WH Smith when she thought a spider had landed on her: it was a really hairy chest which had touched her as she was perusing the magazines. Ugh.

chicletteeth · 05/06/2011 14:54

Err peppa I think you'll find most people are saying it's not ok (to walk around half naked that is)

AuntiePickleBottom · 05/06/2011 14:56

if women went out and took off there tops and bras, we would get arrested for indecent exposure.

MumblingRagDoll · 05/06/2011 14:57

es Chicletteeth but Peppa is talking about the law. Men going topless is legal....not so for women. I could breastfeed in mos placcs but not walk about with my boobs out.

MumblingRagDoll · 05/06/2011 14:58

They did have some kind of topless march in New York I think....mad.

katvond · 05/06/2011 15:00

I think it's the hairy stomachs and backs that but me off all sweaty, there was one in the fish n chip shop yesterday in St Ives it was horrid, had to swap seats with DH as it put me off

True mumbling

Why would one want to anyway?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

gramercy · 05/06/2011 15:01

One of my most embarrassing moments ever was once when I went to the park with a male colleague at lunchtime. There we were, eating our sandwiches, and he took his shirt off.

It was just so... not right . I didn't know where to look - I was coiled up with embarrassment. It's not that he was especially fat/hairy/sweaty - it's just that work is work and bare is bare.

katvond · 05/06/2011 15:04

But as punk said it's never a man in a toned tanned six pack showing off his abs :)

On serious note- I think service should be refused to topless men. Always used to be 'no shirt, no service' where I lived.
