To dislike shirtless men in public places

With the exception of the beach and (maybe) sunbathing in the park.

I'm an athlete (using the definition broadly) and mix with a lot of athletes, so the men in this context are in pretty good shape. I still think they should keep their shirts on and not e.g. run in the street with their shirts off!

I can't say why exactly, except that I don't like it, even when they're nice to look at 😂

Context matters:

I'm perfectly comfortable with nakedness in the right place - changing nappies, bathing children, alone with husband, bathing elderly/sick relatives, helping injured friend get dressed.

I'd rather people dressed decently when in public.

Absolutely 100%. It’s totally about context and respect for your surroundings

Topless working out/on beach/ working on building site etc - completely normal.
Topless in Sainsbury’s/a restaurant/pub - really not

But it’s typical of the me me me attitude that prevails nowadays of I’ll do what the hell I want and don’t give a shit about anyone else
