Does your gym allow you to take your shirt off?

Enough of this - I am going climbing - Have a great weekend and get outside - with or without a shirt! |

this (sub)debate (the one about "clothing norms") will continue until you agree on some metric or unit of measure for degree of clothing normalcy. The whole concept to me seems rather slippery - like an analysis of human proclivities - tell me where are the reliable/predictable patterns? I mean: I'd be very hesitant to take a position on what clothing (or degree of body coverage) is "normal" and what isn't. Further exactly how do you contrain your analysis? average 24/7, only while in public, etc. However, I suppose that argument is beside the main one (or is it), which I interpret to be who thinks he's/she's smart enough to break the social-sexual *restrictions* and get away with it (presumably achieveing some advantage) . Ahh but we certainly know the true connoisseurs in this pass-time (i.e. american culture). |

My wife's a Czech. The place is crawling with beauties, but they have the worst fashion sense on the planet; like they're all colorblind. |

2 days and 7 pages...Wow! |

However, feel free to have all the discussion you want about the infinite number of norms even within Boulder, what is normal (norm != normal) and how social context can change that. Sounds like a great topic for a 5th grade social studies class.Sounds a lot like the topic of this vapid discussion, in which you appear to be the main protagonist. |

don't worry about the page count...its quality not quantity remember? hehe |
|
on that point I'd kinda like to know how JP is the "protagonist" protagonist of what? |

So, as ridiculous as it seems that we're still writing about this; it got funny for me today. As exceptionally gay as it is to show up at the gym after work on Friday, Eden greeted me with the news that she had been reading this thread and had seen my post. I allowed as to how I hadn't realized that I was a gay poser (GP) until I read the opinions of superior empiricists on this thread. I let the other shirtless guys know that they were GPs as well. Now that I've been compelled to post again,I just have to accept the shame of being a wanker like the rest of you. |

I said metrosexual, Joe. Not that there's anything wrong with that! |
|
that is a cool shot..metro how far did ya have to drive to get that? hehe |
|
I actually have a waaaaaay bigger problem with the guys whos boxers hang a foot or so out of their pants. The shirt thing doesn't really bother me. How else do I show off my wicked 5 pack (4 cut abs with a beer gut underneath)? |
|
can we all agree on one thing? That lycra being out of style is a good thing! |
|
Funniest friggin thread ever. I am in tears. |
