I'm 63 y/o, 6'1" and weigh 168-170 lbs. I am in FL and it gets HOT & HUMID. When there's a breeze I take off the shirt to reduce heat build up. I don't have a gut or Moobs (Man Boobs). Don't like it? Tough.
BTW I remember someone invented a Bra for a Men with Moobs about 10-15 years ago - it was called a 'Bro.' Serious.
My sister teaches at a boarding school that is scared sh**less about any predatory male sexual behavior that might make it libel. Among the many things that have been outlawed: male XC team members running shirtless through campus. Evidently, young women can’t control themselves in the presence of 130 lbs runners with Ruppian physiques.
perhaps the same logic applies to the 55 yo twice divorced woman who sees her neighbor Bob run by with his flapping man boobs, back fat, and beer gut.
On Aug 26, dozens of activists descended on the nation's capital to protest unequal treatment of men and women when it comes to going topless in public.Will ...
Who cares? How does that impact you in any way? You idiots make this out to be some big hardship, some huge ordeal. Meanwhile civilians in Ukraine are getting bombed. You crybaby losers need to find something else to complain about.

Of course no one should talk or think about anything but Ukraine as long as the war is happening.
Maybe from about the age of about 14-21 a fit guy with a shirt off might be considered attractive to a female. But if you don't fall into that category put your damn shirt on when you run. Nobody wants to see your gut hanging out, man boobs and hair like you are chewbacca. It is a freeking eyesore and you look like a goof. Think about other people that have to look at you instead of your own selfishness.

Ha I'm 66 and if it's over 65 degrees on race day I'm going shirtless. No one has to look. And if they do they won't see manboobs but ribs.
hahahaha. great thread 👍🏻 It will be 90 degrees tomorrow and that will be the low until about October. It hits 120 in the summer 🐍. I’m 45 and will be shirtless until Halloween, except when working. And there are tons of land whale females here who can waddle around in their black spandex in the heat.
My shirt gets soaked and heavy when I wear one in the heat. That said, I gained about 12 pounds of unflattering weight for a couple years and mostly kept my shirt on. Some tan overweight dudes can get away with it. A skinny runner with love handles is not a good look.
Back in shape and the shirt is gone. It makes the run much more enjoyable for me, and I try to avoid crowded areas. I live in FL and it’s hot and humid most of the year.
I don't know what you look like but you certainly qualify as misogynistic trash.
I don’t think you know what misogyny is. Misogyny is having prejudice towards all women. Essentially it’s believing women are lower status and inferior to men. He hates that fat women get to wear bikinis and it’s nearly illegal to point out how that’s disgusting because far left psychos incorrectly label people misogynistic if they do. But then it’s deemed ok to insult and restrict men about their appearance. I understand the media incorrectly uses terms such as racism and misogyny for everything that isn’t remotely racist or misogynistic so you’re confused. The fact is it’s not misogynistic to hate fat women and love fit women. See what I mean? You have to hate all women to be a misogynist. You can’t hate a few women’s appearance and be a misogynist. You’ll learn over time. It’s tough in today’s sensationalistic media environment.
You don't know it of course but when you talk about "hating" any women and not "all" women you are being misogynistic. But that's the nature of you misogynists - you think you are all regular guys. You're like racists who only "hate" some black/Asian etc people, not "all".
Strictly a weather consideration for me. You can always add layers when it gets colder, but if you can figure out how to cool off once my shirt is drenched I am listening. And yes, I usually start my summer long runs before sunrise but it does not help much on the worst days.
It seems that there is a lot more insecurity about the human body now than in previous generations. We've been programmed by airbrushed, Botoxed, hair colored, cosmetic surgery, photoshopped photos of models to think that everyone should look that way.
Here's the secret. Even those models don't look that way in real life.
I was at the track last week and a 91-year-old man was there shirtless. We talked for a while about the upcoming Senior games. It never once occurred to me to think, "Put on a shirt." If not wearing a shirt helps him to show up and get in a workout, then that's fine by me.
