Men without tops

[twofingerstoGideon]

I don't care how hot it is, I don't want to be confronted with a sunburnt, perspiring back in the checkout queue at the supermarket. Put a shirt on!

(Old prude obviously...)

Yuck yuck yuck.

Must have muscles, abs & a tan.

"No shirt, no shoes, no service" is the rule in most countries, and for good reasons.

Why not here then? Aargh!

It is also a bit off putting if I am driving somewhere and I land up doing a double take.

YANBU.

I struggle with this one.
Trouble is,if I was a man,and I was hot [as in temperature],but maybe othwise too,I would want to take my top off.
Also,I have boys,so cant see much wrong with it tbh.

I can't stand it either. Even if they are man pretty and not sporting Moobs, I like the no shirt, no shoes, no service.

I can't see anything wrong with it:
(a) in privacy of own home/garden
(b) on beach.
Otherwise, no excuse.

Agree - in garden, at home, on beach, by pool - absolutely fine.

Popping into the post office or down the Co-op - put it away please! Where I work, the first blink of sun comes out and the shirts come off. Totally unnecessary IMO.

In fairness, I also don't appreciate ladies in bikini tops in shops. It is NOT a beach.

Definitely agree, not what I want to see out and about.

Maybe i should start a Saudi-style 'modesty police' force - to cover up men who don't look good without tops.

Sexist etc i know but i don't care!!

I agree MrGeresHamster. They are also on my blacklist!

I love it

I find it's always a swaggering, macho, Jack-the-Lad type of bloke who does this too. I find it quite intimidating actually, which may a pleasant side effect for some

not nice

not as horrible as those stripping down to their underwear and sunbathing in the park put me off my ice lolly

The worst is rush hour on public transport. Got firmly stuck to a man on the bus today. Please remove your sweaty torso from my personal space!!!

Swaggering jack the lad types - fine if they look good.

(OMG was that me being shallow & sexist yet again?? Must stop it now!)

OOh my favourite subject. Just put your shirt back on, nobody wants to see it-it's vile.

At home-ok IN THE BACK GARDEN ONLY.

There is just no need. Put it away.

Shirtless on the bus??? Yuck!!!

I was in Sainsburys earlier and a sweaty, chubby, hairy, pot bellied, mooby, shirtless man bent over the onions on the bottom shelf and his cock popped out the bottom of his too tight short shorts.

Worst thing ever.

Ever.

I have been unable to post about this since I got home as I've only just finished bleaching my eye balls.

YABU, it's hot, why do you care what other people are wearing (or not wearing to deal with the heat? Just ignore it if you find other peoples un-airbrushed, natural perspiring (God forbid) bodies so offensive.

That's interesting Lottapianos, I find it sort of intimidating as well. I think it feels like an territorial assertion - this supermarket is my personal space so I'll swagger round with my shirt off and if you don't like it, tough.

If you get stuck to a topless unattractive man on public transport then shout in his ear - ''Put your top on because you are disgustingly sweaty look uncomfortable.'' If he has a top visible then grab it & actually hand it to him.
