Running Shirtless Anonymous
Whenever I see someone running shirtless around the track on my campus, regardless of how fit they are, I think they look like a douche, yet at the same time I'm tempted to run shirtless (be a douche) so I can avoid a farmer's tan. Discuss the doucheyness of running without a shirt on.

If you're fit, do it.

Fatties and unfits hate the fits, but the fits accept other fits.

As long as you're one of us fits, take off that shirt, brother.

Just run shirtless if you want to. If it's going to bother you that much about what other people think, then don't do it. Either way, doesn't bother me when I see people running without shirts (outside).

Running without shirts.

Those that have the body, do.

Those that don't, cry "douche!" and then resume eating chocolate and fapping to /b/.

wait, does that mean I'm doing something wrong if I've fapped to /b/ (unless it's changed significantly in the 8 months I've been away from it)?

Fine as long as you have a nice upper body, please don't if you have a gut or look like skeletor.

I'm fit, I'm just kind of hairy. Most of the shirtless people I see are hairless like in the pic.

Nope, but I'd rather be called a douche for running with a shirt off and being proud of what I've made of myself rather than being a fat person with a mock sense of superiority.

If you had the same ripped body and endurance I bet your ass that you'd run with your shirt off too.

However, I only run with my shirt off in the summer because then i can just pour water on myself without ruining a shirt to cool down.

Nothing wrong at all, as long as you have no moral objection to Fur porn, loli, hentai, 3d shit, anal, poop sex, piss sex, and shitting dicks.

I don't take off my shirt ever outside. But then, I'm a half-negro who got lucky with my dad's lack of melanin and I look almost italian or hispanic. If I tan, I may revert to my inner negro and become voraciously hungry for teh watermelons and teh chikkunz.

Hey, cunts, wear a fucking shirt, or next time I see you I'm going to knock the shit out of you with my car door at 40 mph.

during the summer I run without a shirt. I'm pretty fit, but not where I really want to be right now.

i run without one if it's really hot outside. it's so i don't sweat like a pig

HAHAAHA... IN SOVIET ARIZONA PIG WORRIES ABOUT SWEATING LIKE YOU....

seriously, once you hit 115+ fahrenheit, sweating is not the issue... the issue is that at that point, your shirt acts as insulation... further increasing temperature

But murder is A-OK!

And yes, it is actually possible to want to run without a shirt because it's more comfortable, not to show off. I'm not saying that's the reason for everyone, but it's definitely the reason for some people.

Most of the people in this thread, and pretty much this board, are interested in fitness for aesthetic reasons. OP assumes that shirtless runners are doing it to look good (and hence are douches) while he worries about a farmer's tan. Other people are claiming "I look good so I can do it" leading to other people claiming "everyone who does it wants to look good."

Fitness can be about a health, competition, or personal achievement. Don't assume that because this isn't what fitness means for you that everyone agrees. It's not a revelation that people exercising may want as few layers as possible if they're going to be sweating.

Men like Fedor look good running shirtless. As their excess bodyfat ripple, enticingly revealing muscle mass underneath. Also, note the excellent tan, manly hair, and military fatigues.

This is how you run shirtless. This is how I run shirtless.

This depends. I've seen people going for jogs in built up urban areas with no shirts on. Shit looks ridiculous, regardless of how hot it is.

On a track with other runners on a hot day, though? Understandable.

I was considering starting cardio in the summer.

So it's douchey to run with out a shirt on
around streets? I admit, i'd only do it to get girls to look.

I look good from the front. nice shoulders and abs and arms.

but from behind. I look like shit. no ass legs and lower back is shit.

Don't be 'that guy'. Being proud of your body is one thing, but that's just ridiculous. You think some girl is going to come chasing after you, or stop you in the middle of a run and try and give you her number or something?

The only reason you should be running without a shirt is if it's really fucking hot, or you want to get a tan.

Agreed. Everyone hates "any flimsy excuse to remove his shirt" guy.

Despite what all these narcissistic cunts say, people don't hate it because they're jealous or out of shape, people just hate self-absorbed pricks.

I'm 300lbs and intend to run without a shirt too. Fuck what people think. The nightmares they'll have will bring me pleasant dreams.

I have a friend who is like that, though I suppose it's all he has since he's a McDonald's manager instead of going to college.

Personally I like to go for the surprise abs effect; never be seen without your shirt on then one day you go swimming or something and everyone you know is like "Holy shit, when did that happen?"

Best feeling ever - every girl you know never looks at you the same again.

I've worked my ass off for my body but somehow I would still feel uncomfortable running with my shirt off, as people will without a doubt perceive me as a show off. It seems the only acceptable type of body you could run shirtless with is a perfectly average one - too fit and you're arrogant, too unfit and you're an embarrassment. I hate society.

No one has weer seen me without my shirt, so this is now my new mission in life. Work out like a fucking dog, and spring my abs on the unsuspecting!

I don't have a particularly great chest, but my penis is great. Next time I go running I think I might go without pants to show off all my hard work.

I understand if you're running competitively, and it's a hot day. Taking a shirt off does make a difference. However, if you are going for a light 3 mile run around the neighborhood, keep your shit on.

I do a 3-mile run during the summer, from outside my town back to my house. I'm kinda shy about my body but I prefer to run without a shirt in order to get some more sun.

Feels great to run without a shirt. I used to go for half-hour runs during winter in just shorts. Nothing beats the feeling of cold wind on my manly body... brb fap.

If I"m running in the park near me, I do it just to get some sun since I'm in an office most of the day. If I'm running throughout town I'll throw a sleeveless shirt on.

When I run, I usually take off my pants. The sound of my dong slapping me in the belly button scares off the birds.
