Is it "inappropiate" for a guy to have his shirt off (when it's a casual setting)?

Yeah, most women say they don't like dudes with muscles showing them off.

 

But, ever actually watch that woman when a guy with a 6-pack walks by?

She is 100% eye-raping him.

 

This is truth...

Yeah. I have more times than I can count at guys on this site hounding women for pictures. Now you see how annoying it is. ;)

 

Not annoying at all!

They don't call me prime time playah for nothing. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

Whoever calls you that is not your friend. :p

 

Although it will make me think of all your future posts in a new light:

"Prime Time Playah says 'Don't worry, I have a broad chest' "

"Prime Time Playah feels baby raccoons should be only be fed warm milk"

"And now here's Prime Time Playah with the six o'clock news!"

Okay, so they think a shirtless guy with a nice bod is hot, and perhaps f*ckable (if she's that kind of gal who f*cks and runs)... but honestly, that's about it. You wouldn't take a guy who runs around town shirtless home to mom.

I have a preference towards men who are generally clothed...

:laugh: Do you mind if I use that as my new sig -- with credit to you, of course? :laugh:

Around TOWN? Well, no.

 

But in the yard drinking a brewski with his lady and friends???? C'maaaan! That's just super summer hotness right there.

 

I think a lot of y'all seem way too uptight. Live a little! :p

Go ahead, if you'd like. :) And thanks for asking first.

I find that a neutral situation. In your own yard, being shirtless around people who already KNOW you. . . well, people do that where I'm from. I'm a Southern gal too, and grew up on the coast. It's not uncommon. For me, it all depends where that yard is. If the yard is downtown at a townhouse (like the neighborhood I currently live in). . . it just looks weird. If it were on the beach where I grew up and you could literally smell the salt in the air from my yard. . . seems totally normal to me. Context is key.

 

That said, I don't dig super muscley/gym rat guys anyway (in shape? good. too in shape to the point where it looks like you have a gym addiction? disgusting), and therefore bare-chests rarely do much for me unless it's my fellow, we're somewhere private, and I can pounce on him. I'm a shoulders gal, but you can see those nicely in a polo or something.

As a side note, do women prefer hairy chests or completely bare chests? Assuming that chest is well-defined and the abs are six-pack in nature for both types.

I find naturally bare or minimal hair more visually and sensually appealing. But if he's naturally hairy, I don't mind and wouldn't expect him to shave, wax, or do some other metrosexual thing to get rid of it. The kind of guys I like most are more concerned with performance than appearance.

If the upper body looks good, a nice linen shirt left unbuttoned with nice shorts looks good. But it has to look appropriate. Same idea, females with A cups or less can wear no bra with certain shirts, and get away with it, but if you have big boobs, it looks obnoxious and trashy.

I like it both ways. I don't have a preference. I wouldn't expect a man to shave his chest or anything. However, back hair is a different story. Guys should shave their backs if it's hairy.

I prefer a little bit of hair on the chest, but not like a full forest. Trim that stuff if you're like a grizzly bear! :) (And Nair the back hair if you need to, as another poster said.)

 

But I hate 6 pack abs, so in this particular case, the hair would be irrelevant.

Never heard that one before. I guess I would come off as a hideous troll to you then.

I don't go around thinking of human beings as hideous trolls. I think I just hate six pack abs because they represent a lot of time wasted for your appearance. (I do hate the way they look, but it's likely partially due to my dislike of gymrat culture.) For me, that's not the middle path---it's spending far too much time on your appearance. Spending no time on your appearance = bad. Spending tons of time on your appearance = bad. I think the guys in the middle. My BF is in relatively good shape, from doing a couple sports he particularly enjoys, but he doesn't spend a lot of time worrying about his body or developing muscles to look specific ways. That would be unattractive to me. I also exercise, for health purposes, but exercising for my looks would seem like a bummer to me. And nobody "just happens" to get 6 pack abs. So, it's just not my style for those reasons, not "Oh, hideous troll." I just think, "Wow, that looks weird and unnatural. You spent a lot of time on that, huh?"

I'm willing to bet your bf spends more time exercising than I do. I'm in the gym an hour a day, 3 times a week. Mainly I just eat right and have reasonably good genetics.

Maybe we have different ideas of what a six pack means. I don't just mean a relatively flat stomach with some hint of the muscles. I'm talking the full on six pack. There's no way you get that from 3 hours a week, no matter your genetics. That's literally impossible.

 

And my BF exercises on occasion. Not currently at the moment regularly, since sports leagues in the South in the summer are not generally fun. Too hot still. I exercise more than he does, but I exercise in short bursts 20-30 minutes anywhere from 4-6 days a week. It's mostly for the chemical brain boosts. Keeps my energy level up and lets me cut my sleep by more time than I spend on it.

There are a few different guys in my apartment complex who constantly walk around without their shirts on (and I live in Arizona so they do this for most of the year). They look good for sure, but I find it kind of off-putting, tacky, and inappropriate. I also hate it when I'm driving down the street and some random guy is walking around with no shirt. Unless you're in your own home/yard or a beach/pool setting, I think your shirt should stay on.

You'd be surprised then. I don't look like the The Situation, but it's definitely more than just a hint of muscle.

IMO that is actually BAD genetics.

 

It means your body isn't good at metabolizing and storing essential nutrients and building up energy stores. That isn't a good thing.

 

A six pack though cosmetically appealing isn't necessarily a healthy thing to have.

 

Though I will admit when I have had a 6 pack I like the sense of accomplishment and confidence boost.

 

This could be the first time in history someone has ever claimed that having a beer belly is a greater sign of health than having a 6-pack. Next thing you know cellulite will be the new thin.
