To think men put your nips away

I know from previous experience that many here live in a naice area. But I don't and I've seen several guys with their nips out around town and even one guy in asda.

Surely beach yes that's fine, but around town really? It's not even that hot.

I'm posting to BoomsBooms and reset; the only posts worth reading in my opinion.

Why do you all need to voice your nasty comments? Is there a 'type' that does this, do you think? Or don't you think? Is that the point? Whatever vacuous little spiteful thought pops into your heads, you have to blurt it out and find a coven to share it with.

I'm on another thread at the moment that has prompted me to this one; the dominating theme being disparaging how somebody else looks. Grim. This thread's grim too. We all have thoughts about a variety of things but the way people look really shouldn't graduate beyond that. Urgh.

Meant to post a Star to Booms and restart.

My comments are to the nasty thread-dwellers.

Shirtless blokes in the Tube make me gag.

dingdongdigeridoo · 08/05/2018 15:18

Surely it’s hotter to have the sun directly on your skin rather than have the protection of a cotton tshirt? Bare skin means more friction and nowhere for the sweat to go.

I remember a shirtless twat in a white van drove past me once when I was trying to run off some of my big arse, yelling that I was a ‘fat bitch’. Mate, your belly is touching the steering wheel. At least I’m trying!

Lying I don't give a shit about what the people in question look like; my gripe is with people treating public spaces like their own bathroom. Because until it becomes the norm to walk around naked I am going to contend that most people do believe there is a distinction.

BlueJava · 08/05/2018 16:53

Never think about it and don't mind. I've lived in mainland China a lot and in Beijing the guys roll their Tshirts up in summer to their chest exposing their bellies. We call it "Beijing Bikini".

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 08/05/2018 16:55

I don't disagree with you at all, 60sname and also believe that there is a distinction.

That said, the personal comments on this thread about people's bodies are really unkind and, other than a collective bitching session, what's the purpose?

IIIustriousIyIllogical · 08/05/2018 16:55

LOL, summer brings them all out!! It's all beer bellies & wiry grey haired chests from the men & Tits, Tats & Bingo Wings from the women.

Roll on cooler weather eh, at least they'll put their PJs on when they go to the shops........

I wish DH would take his top off - only in the garden, though (and obviously the beach). He has a body that I like, it's not perfect & he has padding as have I, but I would like him to feel more comfortable and also more confident about various operation scars.

I agree with tops ON near food or similar, and I don't have an opinion on the buys who walk down the street unless I am also judging then for something else (like swigging beer or smoking, or doing that stupid Oasis swagger)

Deemarow · 08/05/2018 17:02

Nope, got far more important things to worry about than other people clothing choices. It doesn't effect anyone in the slightest.

teabag20048 · 08/05/2018 17:02

Agree. My DD has noticed it this year, she said its gross I have to agree.

LadyRochfordsHoickedGusset · 08/05/2018 17:55

Bloody hell Lying why so aggrieved? Lots of people don't like sweaty nips on display or near their food, that about it.

@Dingdongdigeridoo Grin,** i hope you said that to him.

Mogleflop · 08/05/2018 18:26

Restart was a PBP so I wouldn't be throwing too many stars around.

Mogleflop · 08/05/2018 18:27

Reset sorry (why autocorrect!)

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 08/05/2018 18:31

Lady, add me to that number. You just won't find me posting nasty shit about them on threads or anywhere else. It's one thing to say that you don't like something, whatever it is, but why the personal judgements? There's quite a few posters on the thread who haven't been savage and my posts aren't aimed at them, or you.

I'm aggrieved because this board seems full of some really spiteful threads; Meghan Markel, 'What do you judge?', all filled with posters of the same nasty ilk. I can't beat them, would never join them so I'm just posting my annoyance about it.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 08/05/2018 18:34

Mogleflop, comes to something then, doesn't it, when a PBP's posts are kinder and more cogent than some of the 'legitimate' posters'...

That's made me laugh actually. Grin

Mogleflop · 08/05/2018 19:29

Did you see the venom they posted? Confused

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 08/05/2018 20:36

No, I can see that reset has had some posts deleted. Presumably those were the ones you're talking about. I think actually all her posts have been deleted but the one that I referenced wasn't venomous at all. I didn't see the latter ones.

GrainOfSalt · 08/05/2018 20:57

To be honest I'm surprised I'm in the minority. Doesn't bother me at all if work/ leisure outside. Just wish I had the freedom to do so and don't want to stop men just because I can't.

downinthejunglee · 08/05/2018 21:59

If a woman did go topless I actually think most judgement would come from other women. Men probably wouldn't care.... They might stare a bit but doubt they'd judge as much as other women would.

This with bells on

RoseWhiteTips · 08/05/2018 22:24

Luckily our weather is often cold so we are spared such delightful sights. Phew.

Haha. But you mention “bingo wings”: does that mean all the women are old/er? To b fair, you mention wiry grey hairs on men’s chests, too...

...be fair
