Are you positive it's from your neck? The reason I'm asking is because I get headaches sometimes as well, but only during the hot months out of the year. My doctor said its because I need to take extra precaution to keep myself hydrated. Could lack of hydration also play a factor in your headaches?

Nice pictures. My family lives in Oregon and every time I go up there for a visit, we get out and go hiking.

To each their own. I think someone running shirtless to make themselves more comfortable while exercising and improving their health, is far more productive than someone judging them because of it.

That's precisely my issue: why should someone else have to dress differently when they work out simply because you have a problem with it?

Wouldn't bother me. :) Sure it may not be the most pleasant thing to look at (just like my seventy year old neighbor), but I would support her 100%. I love to people watch, and that comes with seeing people who are really well dressed, and people who aren't. To me, telling a shirtless jogger to cover up (unless in a place…

To each their own, but I don't think emotional maturity has anything to do with it. You've said that you would not want your daughter's friends to see your shirtless body, and then provide room for discussion. How do you feel about going to the water park or beach? Every time I'm at the beach, I see multiple families out…

The answer to that is painfully obvious: for comfort. With all due respect to you, I think it's silly to think running shirtless is "douchey". I live in New Orleans, and the humidity here is KILLER. Even at five in the morning before the sun comes up, running in that type of weather can be very difficult. I see all types…

Hmm. Now I'm starting to get a clearer picture of where this whole shallow argument comes from. Though I don't agree with it, I'm starting to see why some women might feel that way.

I agree with this 100%. I think it's not just about the rejection, but the way the rejection is worded. Even if I were straight, and weren't attracted to heavy women, I would never say that -- just because I think it might be disrespectful. I think in that case it's better to say "Thank you", and leave it at that.

Having a personal preference doesn't make someone "shallow". People have preferences: gay, straight, bi, heavy, thin, white, black...etc etc. I'm sure you yourself have a preference as well. It doesn't make anyone shallow. It just means they have a preference.

I don't think it's offensive at all. There are sites that cater specifically to BBW. Some men have a preference for women on the heavier side...which I think is OK. Logic would indicate that if there are men who prefer heavier women, there are also men who prefer women who are lighter. If you prefer heavier women, it's OK.…

So...people should sacrifice comfort because it makes you uncomfortable and you consider it immodest? I never knew you were the moral authority for people to abide by. And for the record, it's NOT cooler to keep a shirt on...even large billowy clothes. I run all year round here in hot and humid Louisiana. During the…

I have to say, I disagree with you. Living here in New Orleans, obesity is extremely socially acceptable and promoted in our community. Shocking how big so many AA women become down here.

I don't think there's anything wrong with BMI at all. Sure, it may classify SOME athletic people as being overweight, but when used for the population as a whole, it's extremely accurate. For the record, no medical tests are perfect. None. But that doesn't mean they aren't useful.
