Running shirtless...?

I've been running without a shirt the last week or so since it's getting a lot hotter outside. My wife, however, is mortified that I'm out sweating it up bear-chested.
Are you bear-chested, like super hairy, and now everyone can see that? Or bare-chested, like a nice, smooth physique? If it's the latter, run without a shirt. If its the former, get some waxing/lasering/shaving done, then run without a shirt.
Wow. Way to body shame. I'm hairy, hopefully you're offended by my body.

Is it Mose Schrute?Men never wear shirts to run where I live. Except this one guy who wears a button-down linen shirt over his banana hammock. I'd rather he go shirtless and wear shorts, personally.
I run in a bikini top and shorts.
There's a guy I've seen at one of the parks here a couple times who run -- RUNS! -- in a button-down shirt, jeans and a belt.
Is he Amish?0 -

Tried it. HOA does not approve.
Wow, they can enforce something like that? Crazy.0 -
Fat or skinny, hairy or bare, sweats buckets or barely sweats, pale or dark. Go for it. Everyone around you that decides to be offended can go suck an egg.0

Didn't we already do this thread the other day? Was it a girl that time?
Anywho, to me I don't care who runs shirtless and who doesn't. Think about it. You're running, you'll probably whiz by so fast it won't even register on my radar as I'm driving trying not to crash or run over anyone. If someone were walking and thus assaulted with your nakedousity and forced to look at it longer and tempted to punch you for it...you're already running! You have a big ole huge head start. Run in bikini's run in thongs I don't give a- ish just run forrest run!
*sniff, sniff, do I smell excuses to stay on the couch in these threads?*0 -
In to see how much snake handling goes on in your profile pic. . . :laugh:If you're single, I don't mind you showing off your shirtless body. If you're married, please don't.

I used to shave in my 20's when I was rollerblading heavily... based on comments from my wife if I were to start that again we would have a "discussion". I'm choosing the path of least resistance on this one.
And no, I'm not super-hairy. People don't mistake me for sasquatch running in Saucony's.
as long as you're not sasquatch then consider yourself lucky to be able to run without a shirt. i'm not brave enough to run in just a sports bra but at my race last saturday i was SO tempted to do it because it was SO FLIPP'N HOT! the top of my tank got so stretched out from sweat (and dumping water on my head) it barely stayed on my shoulders.0 -

Why can't Sasquatch run shirtless?0 -
I see guys running shirtless all the time and never think twice about. Same thing with women in sports bras. I've run in just a sports bra when it's been hot enough. Wear - or don't wear - what you're comfortable in.0

I'm pretty sure Sasquatch wears a Speedo where I am0 -
I got to the point where I was like "**** it." and went shirtless. It helped me become more comfortable with my body.0

Hahahaha

I run shirtless at every opportunity.0

Meh. I think it's fine. I see girls running around wearing only shorts and a bra. You're exercising, it's not like you're going to work. I don't think any such etiquette exists.0
-
For men; yes, run shirtless. For women; no. Unfair, but that's the way it is.
Why is it unfair? Go run topless and ruin your breasts. Personally, I'm happy with what I've got and love having them. If that means wearing a sports bra to run, oh geez.. Life is just awful.

What?? I meant that women shouldn't run in just a bra, it could be dangerous, attracting the wrong kind of attention.. I did NOT mean they should be able to run topless! Jesus, read the post!!!!0 -

I'm not a man, but I think this is offensive. Also body shaming. MY husband has a lot of beautiful red-gold ( graying now) chest hair and yes, his nickname is Bear. I see no reason on earth that he should, or would, shave it. He's just fine the way he is. YOU could stand to shave your attitude.0 -
You people will debate the most trivial things. As soon as the temp permits the shirt is gone. Wear what you want or don't want. If someone cares, its their problem.0

I thought it was interesting that Runner's World had recently addressed this question here, http://m.runnersworld.com/fun/etiquette-for-runners
Specifically the answer was as follows:
Q: As the weather gets warmer, I have to ask that perennial question: Is it OK for men to run without a shirt?
A: Runners have been asking this since the days of Pheidippides. (Little-known fact: He didn't die of exhaustion. He died of embarrassment shortly after running past a Greek woman who shouted, in front of everyone, "Put a shirt on!") The best way I've found to answer this is to say: Yes. But only if you have the physique for it.
Q: How do I know if I have the physique for it?
A: If you aren't sure, the answer is: You don't. Stay in your shirt.0 -
I think it's kind of tacky, plus we ladies can't run with no shirt on so why should you get to?
I think that's totally like calling somebody's t-shirt that they're running in tacky. It's really nobody's business but yours what you wear! Who cares?
And if someone asks if a shirt is tacky, I'll say so. If it were truly no one else's business OP wouldn't have asked.0 -
I'd knock myself out. :sad:0
-
Why would you care? Its a great way to get some color, and its a confidence booster, in my opinion.0

Could not have been said better by anyone.0 -
I've heard some pretty horrid stories about nipple chaffing, so yea go without a shirt.0

Calm down, cupcake.0 -
I run shirtless quite often. I get a few strange looks from the ladies...but the guys seem to dig it....0

Just stopping by to say...
Men with hairy chests are sexy
Men with bare chests are sexy
Men with some sprinkling of chest hair are sexy
Run topless all you want. I look forward to running in my sports bra and shorts again.

I want to. But can't do that to the world yet. Maybe by this fall, or next spring.0
