And you're going to look as leathery as beef jerky by the time you're 50.

Unless you look like Scott Eastwood's or Taylor Kinney's identical twin, please leave your shirt on. Thanks muchly.

They will face down a cattle thieving lion but a tester showing up will have them lightening their load and leaping the fence.

True. Seems like they when they're unable to escape an out of competition/off season test they get caught with their pants down, never mind whether or not they're wearing a shirt. Well, that's when there isn't some corrupt official ready to adjust results to keep the game going.

OP is a beta who looks pitiful without a shirt on.

My coach doesn't let us take our shirts off and honestly it pisses me off because if it's 90 plus degrees and humid we should be allowed to take our shirts off

I run shirtless so my hot bod can make more Vitamin D. This only works when the sun is 50 degrees or more above the Earth's horizon (24 weeks where I am) and the sun is not obscured by clouds.

A thin white shirt actually keeps me cooler than taking said shirt off. It also helps against sun burn because I'm whiter than some cheeses.

Nothing to do with conservative or shame.

I think it says more about the temperature than the personality.

Wtf is this bs about peacocking? Beta males? I (and my teammates) run shirtless because it's the most comfortable way to run in warm-hot weather. It has nothing to do with our bodies or trying to impress people, it's literally just what makes running enjoyable. I'm sure the UW team was doing the same thing; almost every collegiate program in the US runs shirtless, as well as many of the professionals (including many that were born and raised in East Africa!!!).

I hate guys who take off their shirts while running. It’s cocky, childish and says a lot about their personality. More common in western countries. Less in east Africa.

You don’t see any shitless Kenyans. Although I saw clips where they take off their shirt, it’s very rare. Unlike Farah who always takes it off.

Congratulations. Possibly the most idiotic thread I've seen on letsrun. 0/10

One of the greatest joys in life is running shirtless on a hot summer night.

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.

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.

What are your thoughts on proper attire for water parks for men?

Haven't seen that many ribs since I was in Memphis a couple years ago.

We need to make these great again.

Who's with me?

Yo,yo,yo. Jersey Shore Guidos are!

Please keep them on. Women everywhere cringe to see you running around mostly naked. Nobody is impressed by your body either.

This whole thread is ridiculous. I can't believe I spent the time to click to page 5 and realize that there are actually 5 pages on this so far.

I run shirtless to show off my incredible skeletal system!

LEL.

I showed off my ribs, and my 4-pack (genetics). I was 115 pounds and training for long-distance.

My Summer Saturdays usually involve a group of us getting out and running trails either shirtless or taking our shirts off as the run heats up. The women running all run in jog bras with no shirts. A lot of us then get back together in the afternoon at one of our houses with the BBQ set up in the driveway and lawn chairs and a cooler in the open garage. We barbecue, drink beers and talk sports all without wearing shirts!!! I'm pretty sure that what it says about our personalities is that we have enough common sense to realize that on a hot humid day it is more comfortable to be shirtless than it is wearing a sweat-soaked shirt.

You forgot to mention that all the guys play shirts off Twister after the run as well.

Flip you man, I take my shirt off when I want because it makes me feel good (and fixes my farmers tan for races). If I didn't take my shirt off I think I would actually pass out due to the heat. Plus, one time I left it on and my nipples chafed BAD. I dint want to run with bloody nipples, nor does anyone else. Taking the shirt off in a necessity in distance running.
