At what age do you stop running shirtless?

I'm continually surprised by how many posters here seem obsessed with what others think of them.

Anyway, l'm in my late 40s and run shirtless here in New England pretty much continually from June through mid-Sept. Nobody cares. It's the these nice, warm, sunny days that get me through running outside in the winter.

To run shirtless, you need to either have visible abs or a Randy Bobandy belly. No in between.

No. Wearing clothes makes you heat up quicker and cool down slower.

Nice bump. It's not about age; it's about body composition. Flat stomach, shirtless. Jelly rolls, shirt, Please.

All the pretty woman are ogling me when I’m running shirtless and I felt like a sex object, especially when some of them swoon. So I must wear a shirt to protect women from themselves.

Pro runners should be allowed to run shirtless. It's odd that athletics makes them wear tops yet it's ok to be topless in sports like boxing and UFC.

Might attract a few more "fans" too.

I may have already responded, but:

I was in my early 40's and had just started teaching at the high school where I live. I saw some students and then the (female) principal on a run after school the first day.

I felt odd about it so I stopped.

But, 25 years later, I feel that there are two reactions to an "old" man (45-50+?) running shirtless-

1. Ewwwww old man, put on a shirt.

2. Look at that old man trying to show off that he can still run shirtless.

But all in all I would say- if you're comfortable, do it.

There is only one criteria: if you have man-boobs, do not run shirtless regardless of age or temperature. Otherwise you’re good.

Definitely. There's this one guy about 60 around here who insists on going shirtless and his man boobs bounce around like a stripper at bachelor's party.

It's actually gross. Some of the women were talking about buying him a couple running shirts as a "gift". I think they meant a gift for everyone else.

So its ok and normal social behaviour to have strippers at a bachelor's party but its not ok to run shirtless?

Well, I'm a very old man running shirtless for almost 50 years now (if its warm enough) but sadly I've never seen any strippers at anyone's party.

Never!😎

Male or female?

Rojo is male.

Yes, and he has recently made threads about running shirtless and going #2 on a run.

One of the most wholesome woman I have ever met told me that she was a bartender at a strip club.

She also codes.

She is full of surprises!
