Sunny days in Nova Scotia seem to be a rare event but just because the sun is out doesn’t mean you can take your shirt off. Particularly heavier built guys. You may think your have something to show off under that tight tee shirt but what you think and what the general public is concerned are two very different things. Rolls and large man tits are not be to proud of so keep your shirt on next time and don’t make the public have to puke in their mouth when ever they see you.
If you want a tan go the beach not the streets of Halifax!

Babykins, you haven’t seen anything until you’ve gone to America’s wang, Florida, and viewed the fucking keg bellied, floppy mantitted Quebecers puffing on Cubans and the only thing that keeps you from clawing your own eyes out is a very skimpy Speedo. Give me Dale Gribble in a thong any fucking day.
Gribble in a thong is amusing. Overweight, donair eating, hairy Maritimers, not so much.
When people make bitches like this, I just want to find all the fatties and have a topless parade just to say FUCK YOU!
I think that’s a swell idea Bro Tim.
And a big fuck you to the OP. As much as I love shirtless men with ripped abs, I can’t fucking stand people like you.
Keep taking off your shirts boys! Teach this stuffy bitch what real men look like!
If men are allowed to parade around topless, women should be allowed too.
Yeah, well, once you take a gander at my droopy double dees in a fucking shopping cart, you’ll take a fork to your eyes.
God forbid they should cool off. Clearly they should also hate their bodies like you do, with your knowledge of how the perfect unoffensive human body should look.
I think women should be able to take their tops off as well…and not have a second thought about it, the way men generally are able to.
When I see man-boobs and fat guys with their shirts off, the only thing that bothers me is they get to let it all hang out while I’m here sweating with my shirt stuck to me.
i’m with mole rat on this one. as they say, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander… or in this case, vice versa.
there should not be a double standard. if a man can show off his tits in public, then women should be able to enjoy the same freedom.
imo, uptight prudes like the OP need to lighten up… it’s just skin. the human body is nothing to get offended about, clothed or not.
It’s legal for women to go topless in Ontario. *shrug*
Also, some of us happen to like a bit of moobage 😛
Well, maybe not moobage, but some of us DO like a little bit of squish on a guy 😉
I agree with Mole that women should be allowed to go shirtless. What is the big problem with it seriously? Is it a fear that if we see boobs all the time it will take away the sexual allure of them, or perhaps the opposite?
OP, the reason you keep puking in your mouth is probably because you keep can’t control your thoughts of having sex with them. Either that or you have an acid reflux problem.
It is completely disrespectful to people who don’t have perfect bodies to say “cover up, you disgust me”. Get the hell over it already.
People who are out of shape should feel a little ashamed of their bodies. That’s normal. To say that it’s acceptable to be out of shape is wrong and promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.
I’m not saying that everyone should look like an underwear model, but shouldn’t we all at least want to? Most of us will end up somewhere in the middle.
Nevermind, I think we all a have certain degree of shame, whether it is about our bodies or our shortcomings. I agree that we should strive to be healthier in all aspects not just our bodies. However life is just so difficult and it can take years. It’s just the process of evolution. We can’t possibly know the struggles others have. Can’t we just be respectful of each other? Sheesh!
I didn’t get the feeling that the OP was the least bit concerned for the well being of others as you appear to be. To me, it sounded like a call for others to join in on the verbal stoning of all the imperfect bodies out there.
I have to say, while I agree that women should be allowed to do whatever men do, shirtless women everwhere, while dont get me wrong would be great, would be very distracting. Like it or not womens bodies are a work of art, both sexually and aesthetically, and if you think you get stared at now, well just imagine… Sorry ladies… Just an opinion…
Can you imagine the amout of “creepy men bitches” that would be posted here if women went topless!?
“I was jogging topless down SGR and this creepy old man wouldn’t stop staring at my breasts! C’mon people, I’m a person, not an object! Stop staring!”
My problem with the whole “they’d get stared at” thing (which is true) is that women can generally control themselves when a man takes his shirt off, even if they find themselves attracted to his body. Men are perfectly capable of same. However, considering the degree to which female boobies are fetishized in our society, not to mention women being considered fair game, it would probably take a long time for naked ladychests to not seem awkward.
Nevermind, obviously you don’t have tits, or else you would know that most women wouldn’t subject themselves to topless jogging, unless they were an A-cup – whether or not there were any men around.
As far as the actual topic of the bitch; I’m into thinner guys, so I don’t find overweight or saggy guys particularly appealing. But I’m not going to insist that they be uncomfortable, just to make me comfortable.
“However life is just so difficult and it can take years.”
Haha, taken out of context, I really like this.
I can’t imagine there are many guys who would object to women going topless, UNTIL it’s their own girlfriend, or wife or mother or daughter going topless, then you’ll hear about how wrong it is.
Can you image a similar bitch section in a Muslem city where women would write in about thinking they should have the right to expose their wrists and ankles. Of course the men would write in about how it would be unacceptable and if they get raped and murdered it would be their own fault.
Of course this is an extreme example from our point of view, but the thinking is similar. It’s essentially saying that should women share the same freedom as men, ie going shirtless, don’t blame the men for objectifying them. I think most men know it is rude to stare. So the creepy old men bitches would be legit since no one likes to be stared at.
I too can appreciate womens bodies and would be tempted to stare but there are ways of being discrete. It is no different than the natural curiosity to stare at people that look different.
I thought it was obvious that my comment was intended sarcasticly Mole Rat, but I guess not.
Hey big women are not my thing either but who cares?!?! It is a shame OP that God did not take the time to make everyon in YOUR image of what is sexy and acceptable. Go fuck yourself because, to be honest, with your attitude, you are probably the only one that will be with you.
I assumed what the imaginary woman was saying was sarcastic; not necessarily what she was doing.
I say what ev!
Take your shirts off and embrace the heat!
Question to Nevermind: no matter HOW hard some women work out or how “in shape” they are, they’re still going to have fat asses and fat thighs. Some will even have belly fat.
Despite the fact that these women, who try to work their ass off and live a healthy lifestyle, they cannot get rid of their thigh fat, ass fat, or stomach fat…
Should these people be ashamed of their bodies just a little? It kind of sounds like you’re heading in the direction that, people who have fat are living an ‘unhealthy’ lifestyle.
I’m not talking about a little bit of fat either, I’m talking about huge asses. It’s HARD to get rid of ass and thigh fat and I thank my mother and her small ass every day for the fact that I don’t have a fat ass.
Now that Pride Parade is over and there’s very little going on after Natal day, why doesn’t the city consider a Porkers Parade?
We could get all the baby belugas to waddle and jiggle their cellulite downtown in one gigantic Fat Festival!
It could be sponsored by Wallymart as they seem to have a monopoly on the gargantuans.
PK: If they’re trying, then at least they are aspiring to look better. I’m not unsympathetic, though my previous comment admittedly may have come off that way. And I’m certainly no Adonis myself. My point was meant to mean that you hear all the time comments like “girls shouldn’t try to be Barbie dolls because it’s an unrealistic body type”. I think that while it may be unattainable for a lot of women, I see women all the time who do look like Barbie dolls, so it isn’t impossible.
Being fat and out of shape should not be encouraged, as it (predominently) is a reflection of poor health. I don’t think that striving to better yourself is a bad thing, and it’s usually shame and/or embarassment that provokes people to do that.
That still reads a bit as me being a jerk. But I think you know what I mean.
At 6 ft and 250 pounds you will never catch me walking a downtown street without a shirt on.
You know, if a man wasn’t subject to an involuntary, physical, sexual reaction while gazing on tits the shirtless thing would be a fab idea.
OP go f yourself…..fat hater….you are NO ONE to judge….suck it
Yeah David….cuz we all know that inappropriate erections only happen when naked boobs are present 😛
When I get an inappropriate erection Mole Rat, I just look at your avi and it always goes right down 🙂
Sure nevermind…I bet you’re wacking off to it right now 😉
sohard to ytpe wtih left hnad only!
Just try to aim away from the keyboard and you’ll be a-ok.
Isn’t that why you can buy the clear plastic covers.
Must be the “no-neck” type of guys….who work out in the gym grunting and huffing and high fiving each other, all the while a huge gut hanging on them. There’s more to muscle, and a beer gut is as unsexy as they come. You’re discusting. Get liposuction of something.
My clothes, or lack of them, concern me. Yours don’t.
