Guys who take off shirt while running- cocky childish and says a lot about personality

In my case, it says that I am ripped and jacked and don't give AF who knows it.

Soooooo are you saying you only hate when guys take off their shirts to run? Literally every single girl on my HS XC teams takes their shirt of to run, do you hate them too? This isn't just a guy thing, it's a running thing. Just because you aren't comfortable running shirtless doesn't mean it isn't comfortable for someone else..

Yep, it happened. I mean, it didn’t land on the print edition front page (I wouldn’t know, I don’t pay for the ST), but it was on the digital front page by mid afternoon on the first sunny spring day we had in the 60s. Again, live and let live, but it’s kind of funny to see such try hard peacocking.

I usually run without a shirt. But then again, I am cocky and childish.

Really hope this post is a troll, I don't wear a shirt in the summer because I live in the south and it's hot as balls outside even before the sun comes up. Haven't found a shirt yet that keeps my nipples chafe free.

+1. I've lived in NC/GA the past few years. No matter what time of day it is, whether 6 am or 9 pm, it's unbearably hot weather to run in. Shirt comes off for me from May-September. Rest of the year I run with one on. May have a few days here or there in April/October where I go shirtless.

From the angry comments here it’s obvious that running shirtless is an American thing. When it’s hot, running with or without a shirt doesn’t make that much of a difference (otherwise elite Kenyans would run shirtless and marathons would be run shirtless to get better times). You’re an Alpha male, yet you must take your shirt off otherwise you suffer?

Moreover distance runner body shape is anything but an “Alpha”. And I don’t know what’s wrong with American nipples bleeding all the time from a few miles run with a shirt. I never had my nipples bleed. It’s absolutely a cocky and cultural thing (and stupid). You look stupid running shirtless

People who use the phrase “says a lot about their personality” are the judge mental ones.

“That says a lot about who you are.”

I wear gold shoes because I know I’m fast and I did the training. However someone who looks at me thinks I’m just showing off and am exaggerating my skills.

What do they know about my training? Nothing. It’s only what they see.

However I’m also the person who runs shirtless without going to the gym. I never did abs and arms when I was training for long-distance.

Men with class do not go shirtless in public.

Lots of classless men on the beach, I guess.

It's probably better to be cocky and childish and do something you feel like doing (running without a shirt) then not run without a shirt because some random butthole on letsrun says it's cocky and childish to do so.. Once you start listening and following what everyone else says or basing everything you do on their feelings then where does it end? In 10 years maybe all the butthole like OP will be saying stuff like "It's cocky to run without a hijab on" are you going to wear a hijab? The point is if you want to run without a shirt on do it, if people think you are a cocky and childish they can go suck on a big prickly butthole till cows come home!

Many hypocrites here. They take off their shirt because they don’t care what others think. So you also go naked in the beach because it feels better? You pick your nose recklessly in public because it feels good and you don’t care what others think? You fart in front of others? You walk in the street shirtless when it’s hot because it feels better and you don’t care what others think?

No. You just take off your shirt while running. Why? Because you think it’s cool. Why? Because others think it’s cool.

or...... call me crazy. They are just comfortable in their own skin. I'm assuming this post and comment your making is out of pure jealousy that you dont have that confidence in yourself.

Running shirtless, wow, so much self confidence! You should run for president

Do you go shirtless to work? To the grocery store? To weddings and funerals? If not, does that mean you lack confidence?

It's just as classless to run shirtless as it would be to do any of those things shirtless. No man with class goes shirtless in public.

It's not about jealousy, it's about class. Sadly, that's something that our culture is severely lacking, as replies like yours so aptly demonstrate.

OP has a horrible physique, cringes in terror if asked to play on skins time in 'shirts vs skins' basketball.

Three Insecure beta male Kenyans who feel uncomfortable in their own skin, and one self confident Alpha male mzungu who feels confident in his own skin.

Pathetic

No racist but being real maybe it's just more uncomfortable for a black person to be shirtless while exercising in the sun than white people..

The same reason why people don't wear black clothes in the summer because it's hot.. Yes a white person may sun burn more easily but maybe ALSO for some reason some of the heat reflects off the white skin unlike a black person.

It's cultural. There are many cultures where men going shirtless is not considered acceptable.

On a warm-or even mild day- what the is the point of a shirt?

Follow Cerutty's philosophy and let the elements at your body.

p.s. On this this double standard forum, it appears that you can merrily call anybody a drugs' cheat, and that's fine, but use a swear word and people get offended.

Retarded twits!

I guess that’s why two of them wear shirts darker than their skin color- because their skin is dark and gets hot so they wear even darker shirts
