To hate men walking around with shirts off

[clearwaters]

It's really not lovely, is it?

AIBU to want them to cover up? So common.

Ooh, just saw the topless on a bus post. Wouldn't like that. Seems very arrogant to me.

I dont like it. I always feel they look a bit aggressive. I guess it would be ok sunbathing at a park, and i think its fine on the beach, but not just walking round town

Yeah, anywhere you are going to be in potential skin on skin contact, then NO. This means shirts on buses for sure!

Also, where food preparation or consumption is occurring - shirts on in restaurants.

Anywhere that isn't happening...then why worry about it?

Whats the difference between strolling around town and strolling on the beach?

Why it is magically better if there is sand underfoot? Why does this make bare skin suddenly less disgusting?

People have some very strange ideas embedded in their heads by the victorians which is fine, but you should get them out for an airing now and then and see what fraction of them actually make sense.

god yes, hideous sunburn is a whole other problem.

I saw a crisped mother out with a properly protected baby today. I thought, its great you kept the baby safe, but they'd probably like it if you lived to see them graduate....so use some bloody suncream yourself!

I dont like it. I always feel they look a bit aggressive

There is something very aggressive about it. Think of the film Sid and Nancy - the excruciatingly awful scene where a topless Sid is dining with Nancy's parents.

I think it is a bit aggressive. It's young lads usually who are a bit too 'pumped up' and I don't like the vibe.

It's not nice

Don't seem to see this in Italy or Spain unless the men are British

A man was told to put his top on in Tesco's yesterday he didn't say anything

There is a difference between revealing clothes and stripping off

Why it is magically better if there is sand underfoot? Why does this make bare skin suddenly less disgusting?

Is this a serious question? You really can't understand that a situation where everyone is in swimsuits, getting wet/covered in sand is completely different from the situation in a street/ on a bus etc?

Whats the difference between strolling around town and strolling on the beach?

Everything.

I woukd wear a bikini if I went swimming, but wouldn't walk through town wearing it.

I wear shirt shorts out of work, but wouldn't wear them in work.

Let's not be ridiculous and think context doesn't affect what is appropriate.

I am sure I am not the only one who has felt so hot and bothered recently that they want to take off their clothes and stand by the freezers in the supermarket (or climb in)

But I don't social norms or not who wants to see a load of people in their underwear dripping in sweat while doing their weekly shop

I watched a bloke in the shortest shorts, and flipflops walk his dog, and thought he might as well go the whole hog and be nude.

Yes I hate it, the woman next to him had a dress on, walk of shame for him, and he had sunburn so nature gave him Karma.
