To be annoyed with guys walking around town topless??

[Floogal]

Whenever the sun comes out you're guaranteed to see a few guys wandering around topless. I'm not a prude, nor do I want to bodyshame anyone. I mean, wear as little as you like on the beach or pool. Just seems arrogant that they believe women or girls are impressed or that other guys are intimidated and jealous

I hate it too! TWO men in my local supermarket the other day had their top off, it's SO unhygienic. Both had larger breasts than me, and yet it would be wholly unacceptable for me to walk around a supermarket topless.

If a woman walked up the street with no top on they'd be "asking" to be cat called, stalked, you name it. Yet men walking around topless is completely acceptable. Its gross, I hate it.

It seems from this thread that Men who are not young or stick thin equally get stares and comments, so I'm not sure of your point here?

If walking around and keeping their distance, doesn't bother me. If bumping into me, or sweating onto seats etc, bothers me lots.

What gives me the ick much more is any kind of thong on the beach. I really don't want to see people's bums

I don’t like it and discouraged my son from walking around shirtless off the beach/playing football in the park. My husband wouldn’t do it either.

I once saw a topless man in Tesco leaning over the apples scratching his chest with one hand, reaching for fruit with the other.

His chest hair fell onto the loose apples when he scratched his chest 🤮

Ick - put your pointless hairy man nips away!

It's gross, no argument there, but I wouldn't automatically assume they think they're attractive/intimidating. They could simply be rather rude. 😂

I used to think this. But I now live in a very sporty place and all the men I've seen jogging oast topless have quite frankly been the highlight of my day (FTM, stuck at home with tricky baby)

Bonus points if you're sunburned and drinking a can of larger.

It’s disgusting and extremely common.

Its very annoying when men walk around half naked.
Sorry but even if its hot they should keep something on their top half in public....women manage it after all

That story has traumatised me! 🤢🤢🤢🤢

It’s gross and should be just as unacceptable as it is for women. The worst is on the tube during rush hour, being forced up against some guys sweaty chest and armpits 🤮

Because they can and its hot, ever thought of that !

Here bloody here!!

DH is like that these days because of the amount of women who comment negatively on bodies. Funnily enough he's never had a man give him negative comments.

It’s irrelevant (or should be!) what the topless man looks like. And frankly the poster complaining about the “nearly 50” bloke washing his car sounds judgemental and mean. He’s on his own drive!

what is unacceptable is going topless near other people - in shops, on public transport or anywhere that is not the beach, a swimming pool or - just maybe - the park. Actually this applies to women scantily dressed too. Any areas of sweaty skin are gruesome.

It’s beyond grim! Supermarkets and shops should ban it.
it’s gross and unhygienic!

I agree it must be for the tan. Though I've seen a fair few lobster red. Ouch!

Any areas of sweaty skin are gruesome Indeed!

I’m happy to see a nice looking bloke with no shirt on in the summer

if they've got ripped abs you can see them through a t-shirt anyway

Aren't we supposed to be teaching kids to be body-positive

yes but sweaty cooked-by-the-sun bodies smell. As I said in my first post, if you get on a bus or train in summer you can smell a fleshy smell like in a butchers. It's really yucky and I am not even vegetarian! And you actually stay cooler if you have a top on.

Reminds me of a former teaching colleague. She told the story of a school trip many years ago accompanied by some parent helpers. It was a very hot day. One of the Dads suddenly whipped off his top to reveal the words ‘mild tattooed above one nipple and ‘bitter’ tattooed above his other nipple.

what about those roofers working and sweating in the hot sun.... swoon 😅

Personal opinion
It gross. It's just not acceptable.
Doesn't matter how fantastic the body may or may not be. As far as I'm concerned it's just not nice.
You see it everywhere. Even in supermarkets.
