Should guys run with their shirts off?

Yes. Why not?

singlets help wick away the sweat

singlets prevent sunburn

singlets hide man-boobs

what's worse: seeing man-boobs out in the open, or having man-boobs covered by a singlet with a pair of nip-chafe blood stains?

Wear a bro, bro'!

Well, in a long race, you occasionally have to wipe your face with something. A singlet's the easiest thing. Besides, who wants to see a bunch of guys with their shirts off?

The OP seems to.

I typically always start a run, no matter how warm, with either a singlet or t-shirt, after about half-way I'll tie the shirt around my waist corner to corner. With singlets I have to tuck the ends into the side/front of the shorts instead of tieing them....I think you'd have to have a pretty small waist to tie a singlet around it.

The thought never crossed my mind, but it did yours.

Definitely something that makes you go hmmmmmmmmmm.

I usually go shirtless if it's over 55 degrees out. I hate running in a shirt.

A little defensive about guarding your secret? :) How long have you had a thing for shirtless, sweaty guys, "Sweaty"? :)

Maybe every city has someone like this, but here in NYC we had a guy who for years would run in the opposite direction of most runners in Central Park. He was out of shape and middleaged and ran very slowly, and he wore old boxer shorts, no shirt, and carried a cigar in one hand. He always had this "hey, look at me, what's it to you" grin on his face. I heard he died. Not sure if it was hypothermia or lung cancer. Maybe a combination.

Hmmm, you brought the subject up, and now you want to talk about shirtless, sweaty guys.

*walks away slowly*

I'm not your type, OK. I heard Dereck Peterson hangs out here. Maybe he'll come calling for you.

I'm pretty sure most high school and college teams do most of their training shirtless, when its warm enough. If you have to question whether or not you should take your shirt off than you are probably too saggy and fat and slow and should keep it on.

When you get beyond 40, you gotta leave the singlet on...

I think it is an international law or something.

Old peoples chests can cause stomach distress in passing motorists.

Remember when Aerosmith in trying to remain hip wanted to pose for a magazine without their shirts on?

Not a pleasant site. So, I think it's an age thing.

When your body, through age is in the slow process of dying, cover up as much as possible..

First you admit to preferring sweaty shirtless men to ones with shirts on, and now you admit to knowing questionable people and where they hang out.

I don't think it's me he'll be calling for, "Sweaty".

Your fascination with this topic is quite disturbing. I'm sure the internet can lead you to a more suitable site for you to discuss the shirtless, sweaty guys you are so fixated on.

Good luck!

First Clue, you are coming off here as sounding gay. Very gay.

Is this a serious question? Everyone (females wear sports bras obviously) runs shirtless here in Texas when it's hot. Sure there are some people who shouldn't, but that doesn't stop them. Whatever makes you comfortable.
