Poll question: Guys: do you walk around in the summer with your shirt off?
I don't mean if you're at the beach, or mowing the lawn at your own home, or working construction or landscaping. I mean, do you walk down city streets with your shirt off? I just find this so distasteful! Ladies, am I alone? I don't want to see your nipples in the middle of my workday. And I don't care how the guy is built, either. Good or bad body, I don't like it. Maybe I'm just weird...

1. I run in just shorts if it's hot out
But I'm not really into urban exhibitionism myself so my route is mostly in the park.

2. Yeah, running or biking is another obvious example
Someone engaged in a physical sport is expected to conform to a different kind of wardrobe, in my book. I wouldn't look twice at an athlete without a shirt. I'm talking about just strolling down the street, "Man, it's hot out", and just whipping off the shirt. WTF?

10. Exhibitionism should at least be subject to a licensing process
And if you thought the DMV lines were bad... :D

6. First of all, let me say shirtless guys are
:9 in context---beach, yard work, gym, etc. :evilgrin: However, if it's just walking down the street or something inane like that, no thanks.

18. When I bike (which is always)
Once a shirt soaks through with perspiration (I don't sweat, mate), it becomes an insulator making me even hotter. Though before entering a building, I'll pull on a shirt.

22. I just about alwayswear a shirt
It's definitely hot enough here to go around w/o a shirt most of the time, but I wear one even when swimming. I'm so light-skinned I'd have to smother myself in sunscreen or I'd be toasted in twenty minutes so I figure going around shirtless isn't really worth it.
