Why is it frowned upon to run without a shirt? It's not just 300 pound hairy gorillas, but even really muscular sexy guys that make some women feel uncomfortable by running shirtless. Guys, do you run shirtless? Ladyfriends, do shirtless joggers bother you? I can see situaions, like a sweaty jogger running around in the middle of a packed city square, where it's gross, but what about a guy in a suburban neighborhood? AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH AIRPLANE PEANUTS?
I personally am not bothered by seeing someone jogging with no shirt or doing any exercise that way. Most people I know who do so though do wear a shirt, probably to absorb the sweat. Not sure as I have never asked them why.
I never realized shirtless joggers were frowned upon.. All the joggers I see look ready to have a heart attack. I'll pass on the jogging....
They can wear what they want. I do wish women had the same right though. Sometimes my boobies get hot too...
In Canada we do thanks to Gwen Jacob in 91 who brought this issue to the forefront and changed laws, especially in Ontario. Which forced the rest of the provinces to recognize the precedent set. I marched topless in those protests. You can not be topless for gain as in solicitation or advertising but otherwise it is pretty well open. Now having said that I would not jog topless because of the discomfort and the sweat. It flows a lot freer with no clothes and support.
I can't say I would ever complain about a sweaty, half naked, toned man running down the street. as for women doing it...ouch. Gotta keep those boobies on lock down while exercising or it can be quite painful.
Yeah I probably wouldn't actually jog topless. I would need at least a bra for it not to hurt too much. But perhaps some celebratory after jogging shirt removal when I'm all hot and sweaty would be nice.
Yea for shirtless joggers because it would make a nice refreshing change to see a bit of naked flesh, instead of those boring looking jogging tops. Mind you joggers with a rather large physique would find that a problem.
to be fair, i almost never see toned joggers. most of them are overweight, and the rest are unhealthy-skinny. at least that goes for men. i occasionally see some beautiful women out jogging when i'm driving to work. i've had a few near accidents thanks to them.
i don't run. i probably should. i have no idea why this should be an issue. if you're getting on the bus or going into a resteraunt, then put your shirt on, but if you're out in the air, in a park or even on a sidewalk, i have no idea.
It would probably be uncomfortable to job topless, but I'd still like the right to do it, just cause.
