Men should wear a top in supermarkets for hygiene reasons, but nothing wrong with going shirtless or in vest.

If women can wear less in summer, so can men, no matter how fat and hairy their belly is, or whether they're six packers or skeletal. It's hot, and everyone needs a bit of relief from heat.

Most of us don't look good in vests, and we don't look good with no top on.
It is certainly not a very respectable way to go around in public, especially in a food shop!

So, why is it respectable for a woman to go around a food shop in bikini top?

A lot of men don't seem to object, though. The more nakkid a fit-ish woman is, better it is for eye tonic for many men. This thread involves such posts.

That's because blokes have double standards.

Of course it's ok for a fit woman to do shopping in a bikini top,a bloke like myself would have no interest in seeing some sweaty Betty in next too nothing clothing..

Well, it's sweaty Betty's human right to gain some relief from heat, not your choice. Just don't look at them, if you can help yourself. I'm sure they won't mind.

What are your views about blokes wearing a vest or no top at all? Is it acceptable to you? Or, does it have to be a fit Frank and not a sweaty Fred?

30 plus degrees for North Wales Swati, it must feel a bit like Jaipur in the winter.

LOL very true, Duncan. Family recently told me on phone that right now they are having buckets of rain at the moment due to monsoon arriving early. I hope it brings them a relief from heat as monsoon doesn't bless that part of India very often.

North Wales is amazing in this heat. Rivers are full of people jumping in from the bridges and trees. People are sunbathing nearly nakkid on the rocks, and why not. It's like being on a holiday, and everyone's just enjoying in the sun. You should visit for your watersport with your missus. :-)

I don't look at men in that sort of way,but walking along a high street,i don't expect to be blitzed by shirtless men,beer belly or not,save it for near the beach or a park/swimming area.What's your view on guys who wear leather jackets with a beer belly then....

Ok. but it's ok for women to wear bikini tops or as less as possible anywhere they like? Your statement confirms what Lisa said above in her post that blokes have double standards. Thank you.

This thread focuses upon some people feeling offended because a lot of men are going shirtless, not about beer belly blokes in leather jackets. However, my views are that I don't give a **** as long as people do not indecently expose their privates in public. Not every man has to be an oil painting, as not every man I look at has to be an object for me; to measure up to my desired standards. A beer belly man might feel quite comfortable (rightfully so) in his in leather jacket, and he may be alright to talk to. I don't have to fancy him or something.

But if it is ok, or even welcomed, that women do shopping in bikini tops, then it has to be ok for blokes to basically do the equivalent*, not be restricted to the beach/park. It's only fair.

*That said, I suppose the equivalent would be a bloke in a bikini top, but that would be strange.

I just won't see any relevance of men wearing a bikini top because they don't have to hold their *****. People with moobs are exception, though. They can wear a bikini top. They require support for their moobs, and it's perfectly understandable.

It will still be strange to see to begin with, I agree. But people get used to atypical sightings, given time.

Actually, maybe we could come up with a range of bikini tops for men with moobs. It could be a venture that would make us our fortune.

Great minds! I had been thinking of this idea since I put up my previous posts. We can rock the market, Lisa! You and I can beat that sticky insect Victoria Beckham for her tasteless crappy clothing she designs.

<Delboy mode on>

With this business idea, this time Next year, we will be millionaires!
