It’s Already Started and Summer Isn’t Even Here
April 12, 2009
A guy taking off his shirt in public, a gal wearing a revealing outfit, and a fitness dork that starts her own blog are all saying…
Hey, look at me!
Over here!
I’m showing off, check me out!
Pay attention to me!
But there is a huge difference between, say me, and the shirtless guy that walked into the gym the other night looking like an overweight orangutan. And not even one of the cute ones.
I may be a showoff, but I’m no cheesy-shirtless-guy. Now, if you’re wondering if it’s ok to go shirtless if you’re all hot and buffed, the answer is no. It’s never ok. Well maybe, and the clearly defined terms in which makes this acceptable are made available below.
Shameful Shirtless Situations
Jogging/Running – If you can’t do it in slow motion, don’t do it at all
Date Auctions – You know darn well it wasn’t for charity!
Any place where food is served – don’t ruin other’s appetites
Any place where religion is served – period
Playing outdoor sports – nobody wants your clammy, slippery body to touch them
Baseball game – eat a hot dog, don’t be one
Safe Shameless Shirtless Situations
The beach – except when it’s below 70 degrees
The pool – the baby pool doesn’t count!
Your shirt is on fire – stop drop and roll your butt to an Old Navy
Male stripper – I feel bad for you, so go ahead and floss that shirt between your legs, because in this economy, we understand that every dollar counts!
Laying out or sunbathing – okay, but not when you’re bright red. Cover up!
You’re super hot and famous, like say Brad Pitt.
