Why do some men have to walk through the town or along the sea front with no tops on? Its disgusting. I remember years ago that it was an offence in Spain to do that.
Nothing worse than a big fat hairy sweaty gut coming towards you in the town.
I wouldn't mind if it was like my six pack torso.:eyebrows:

I find it aggressive behaviour. Nasty. What it's really saying is "---- you. I'm going to get my share of the good stuff. I don't give a toss wot I look like.'.....

I think people are getting more outwardly aggressive. About a lot of things. It's a decline in themore moral outlook of the recent past, where people cared more about what others felt and thought. We used to call it plain good manners.
It's reflective of the more recent 'entitlement' mentality. 'I'm here, I'm entitled, stuff you'. Depressing.

Well done on the diet M8, you are doing splendidly. Of course you don't need a six pack - that's for show offs - and the beer gut is just appalling. You are obviously just a thoroughly good-looking man with a (nearly) finely honed body which others can only admire! http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/laughing/crying.gif (http://www.sherv.net/)

Oh, wow. I believe trying to impose on other what you think is right while they're not hurting anyone is a lot more aggressive than the biggest, jelliest tattooed belly out there.

BTW, I come from an ex war zone and let me tell you, there was not a tattooed belly in sight. But there were a lot of people trying to force their beliefs and way of life on others. Nuff said.

I was giving my 'opinion' in answer to a question. Is that 'trying to force my beliefs and way of life on others'? I don't write placards or go on TV or write articles in the media. I occasionally write on this little forum. How sad is that. rolleyes2:

BTW I am curious as to why one would expect to see any tattooed beer bellies on display in a war zone.....combat fatigues would have been more preferable I'd have thought. Just my opinion.

But I get the idea. It's just that I am a long way from being a Radicalist. I am far more of an old fashioned romanticist who longs for the days when good manners and grace and an awareness of the feelings of others were considered admirable qualities. (The idea of having to go and find these qualities in an 'exclusive' enclave of the wealthy appals me. Is it only the rich who possess them? From what I know of such locations the aggression is there only more so, it's worse in fact.)

So I find myself living instead in the 'real' world, one of entitlement, and greed and a disregard for the feelings of others. Doesn't matter really what part of the world one lives in except that yes, holiday destinations do tend to see perhaps more of the stress of modern life and on full display.
Holidays are incredibly stressful. I hate em. rolleyes2:

I agree that it's just not nice, and is bad taste for men to walk around shirtless in a public place that's not a beach or pool area.
So yes, I do look the other way.

This quote says it all:

"Bare chests are acceptable in one's own garden, on the beach, on the yacht and by the pool.

After that, we get into a grey area and, helpfully, that grey area is not the sprout of hair on the chest of a stranger, confronting you at the bus stop or in the supermarket.

It is the rudery, the bald arrogance of the bare chest, be it Simon Cowell's expensively groomed one, or the one belonging to that half-naked bloke by the chiller dripping chest sweat on to your lettuce.

Topless men of Britain - you, too Simon Cowell - you are an affront to public decency.

So put your shirts back on, or else."

So why are you living on one of the busiest Holiday Islands in Europe.???

Well that is a bit of a personal question but here goes, if you really want to know (??) ....We had to sell up our property in Spain because of the recession and we only had this holiday flat investment (ha ha) to live in and so I thought that we could give it a try and so we came two years ago. I love the climate. The winters in Spain are almost as bad (not quite!!) as the UK. Anyway we can't sell the apartment so we have to live in it. But...I hear you ask, why did you buy a flat in this island in the first place? because.....yawn yawn,
1. it IS only 4 hours from the UK and our family.
2. Climate is the best.
3. EU health care. We are not wealthy, we are Pensioners.
4. It's a lovely spacious one bedroom apartment. Bright and sunny all day.
5. It was within our budget.
6. We thought the Canaries had a lot of character. I love the mountains and the ease of their accessibility.

Is that reason enough for you Primrose? I honestly never considered Tenerife to be SOLELY a 'Holiday Island' to be 'avoided it like the plague'. Perhaps you think I should have done.
Sadly we are imperfect human beings who may not always make the 'right' decisions. And maybe our finances limited us in our choices. It's what happens in real life Primrose.

Anyway, back on topic...

...when the wife and I go away on holiday, though we may not be the paragons of sophisticated fashion, we do endeavour to cover up away from pool-side. I can well understand why there are complaints, given some of the sights we have seen. To be fair, it isn't only the Brits who are guilty.

We tend to hold an informal competition with a range of categories such as:

Biggest beer gut
Worst tattoo
Family dressed the most alike
Most inappropriately dressed under 16yrs
Grandparents dressing like grandkids
Holiday-makers looking as though they wish they were anywhere else (usually stroppy teenagers)
Holiday-makers dressed for another climate
Best collection of animal prints and bling on one person

It whiles the time away if you end up in a streetside taverna. Mind you, beware the gaping baggy shorts at the next table - they trump budgie-smugglers any day! :scared:

Probably not holiday makers, most of the residents have been in long pants and fleeces and on Tuesday I went to PDLCruz and it was really cold people out in Boots, coats, scarves and gloves,when you have lived here a few years you get acclimatised and you do feel cold. going up to PDLCruz it was 9 degrees and raining.

Amid all the stereotyping, I fear that nationalities such as the French and Italians are held up as paragons of good taste in dress sense (no, don't even go there with the cross-dressing! :p) whereas we British tend to be seen as the slobs who are probably the cause of this whole thread (rightly or wrongly).

I don't really think think so. just because the Elite raised the standard

“Self-righteousness is much like a spiritual egocentricity. It constitutes a secular type of love that thrives under conditionality, one in which is only existent after an individual meets the adopted standards of the condemner; oppositely, unconditional love is a holy love.”

As with marathon runs and lengths of toilet paper, there had to be standards to measure up to.”

Chunks of this thread are hilarious...lots of very witty people here. In observing passers-by, don't forget 'the worst bottled suntan', the harem pants whose centre is above the ankles, the combover......
I don't like seeing 'tops off men' when they are strolling about or in a cafe. It seems inappropriate but
(a) for some people this is their only holiday in the year and they are eager to catch every kiss of the sun on their bodies.
(b) a larger person may walk more slowly, gets hotter and therefore finds it cooler without his shirt or quicker to acquire his longed-for suntan.
(c) his wife or partner may find him more attractive stripped to the waist
(d) he thinks he looks more attractive when stripped to the waist
(e) he can show off his upper-body tattoos and underarm hair
(f) he has the joyous freedom of being topless because it proves he is on holiday; too cold to do it consistently in the garden
(g) In some countries a large belly is a sign of wealth and prosperity.
(h) He does it because he can; no-one is telling him otherwise.
Amen.
