Why is shirtless running ok only if you "have the right body type"?

    My old body, hairy chest, and I ran in 97 degree weather today. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I truly hope that you are deeply and inconsolably offended.

    Argh!! I know that I will never fully recover! The horror :)

    The idea that you need to be "attractive" to show skin, or that you only show skin to be seen as attractive, is ridiculous. No one owes the public anything when they step outside, especially with regards to their body. Sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's just more comfortable. If they're outside running and working on their health and someone else has an issue with the way they look because they don't find it attractive, that's just that person's problem. I could never understand why people think it's okay to police the way other people dress.

    Come on now don't be ridiculous. The only appropriate time to wear black socks is with sandals.

    That reminds me of my favorite fellow jogger I'd pass by every morning a few years back. He was at least in his late 70s and wore an unbuttoned mesh, button down shirt, a straw hat, sunglasses, a yellow speedo, and black socks and running shoes every morning. I'd say "morning" every day as we passed each other, and all I could think was "man, I want to IDGAF to that degree someday." I have a few more years to perfect my craft . . .

    Running topless is not my thing, but have no issues with anyone else doing it. I prefer to run bottomless.

    I think this is another post that requires pics. For science.
