Men jogging without shirts on

OT, but I just want to say that I very much dislike this descriptive for a shirt. It's gross.

Nothing personal, Elannah. I know many people use the term. But it's like nails on a chalkboard to me. 

Common here, and I'm not bothered by it, but I have to say it's rarely the ripped guy with the six-pack abs I see running shirtless. It's usually the middle-aged guy with a paunch and enough back hair to knit a sweater.

Since I choose to wear spandex capris to walk/run in, and am hardly in great shape myself, I don't feel like it's my place to judge.

Eh, it's quite common here in the south. I have to admit though that what I really hate is men with beer bellies and hairy backs taking their shirt off to mow the lawn. THAT is a sight I'd rather not see.

And while it may seem unfair that women can't go topless too I can only think how uncomfortable it would be to run and have your boobs flopping up and down ... some of us might even end up getting slapped in the face

I have no plans to go running topless any time soon. Now that would be a sight for sore eyes.

I would end up with black eyes and a concussion 

Yep, this stuff.

That would be kind of funny to watch though... flopping everywhere. 

(sorry for the image... it just cracks me up)

I know lots of women who hate tan lines too but they have them and live with them.

And that's what it would be for most of us women going topless ... flopping everywhere.  I think at this point in history we can blame our anatomy, and not necessarily just social mores, for the fact that female toplessness hasn't caught on.  Most women would be very uncomfortable exercising without at least a good supportive bra.

I used to often see this one guy who had a tattoo or birthmark in the shape of a pen, long and narrow on his abs. I never remembered his face but would recognize him by that odd mark on his skin. I always wanted to stop him and ask him what it was. Since he was running he would move by too fast for me to get a good look. But I always thought that I won't recognize him once it gets cooler and he keeps his shirt on. lol

you can tell some men have done it all their lives because they are weathered like luggage. holy cow, put some sunscreen on man.

What's the difference between all these comments on this thread and this thread here?

Double Standards?

I agree with Country Ham.

Nice try, I didn't participate in that thread. Jog, swim, mow in whatever you like and feel comfortable doing. It doesn't mean I have to enjoy watching the old guys as much as I like the hot, young ones.
