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

We are overlooking the obvious fact that shirtless runners are saving the planet.
Because they don't have to wash a shirt after running, they do less laundry which means they use less water, less electricity, less laundry detergent and waste less time.
Personally, I love giving those wonderful, planet-saving, shirtless runners a congratulatory pat on the bum as I run past them since that is the universal signal for good job.

I wish women had the option to go around without a shirt on, but my female nipples are offensive.5

After a melanoma scare in the family when I see shirtless runners I just hope they put on sunscreen!1

I run shirtless all the time. Still waiting for my pat on the bum...maybe some day3 -
Personally I don't want to see shirtless guys running anywhere regardless of their shape ...
Hot weather or not there is sportswear designed for the heat.

First of all some of that specially designed sports wear is super expensive. Not everyone can afford to be a fashion model just to please those with delicate sensibilities. Get real. If you don't like it, look the other way, as you are in fact entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to enforce sportswear upon people though, so better get used to looking the other way.
And that's exactly what I do do....*shrug*
as I said MY opinion.
Plus I don't live in a hot country so it's easy for me to say there's no need to go shirtless.1 -

Yes, there is. Going without is still sometimes cooler and besides that, it's very unpleasant to have a sweaty shirt plastered to you while you run regardless of the fabric.
FWIW, I've found Icebreakers merino and similar to work best in hot and humid weather. But eventually even it fails in comparison to going without.2 -

Or they are just uptight.3 -

So is this the cause of spontaneous human combustion?0 -

They are wound so tight the friction causes fire.. I can see that.

My favorite part of this thread is knowing that someone, somewhere is highly offended by my very existence. I will certainly be lifting and running shirtless this afternoon in your honor. My neighborhood thanks you for your service.9

And sometimes you just want to get a little tan...I don't like laying around to tan, I'd rather be out and active with my shirt off...kill two birds with one stone.1 -
You know... I noticed a few years back that one of my overweight, past middle age neighbors did all his yardwork shirtless. At first it grossed me out until I noticed how gawd awful my husband's farmers tan looked. Now I beg my husband to go shirtless while mowing the lawn, back hair, and beer belly be damned. No, sometimes it's not the prettiest when a man goes topless, but seriously...tan lines.
HAHAAHA I feel ya ! My husband gets VERY dark, and easily. I am always begging him to go shirtless too for the same reason.0
