I don't understand the initial thought - are we talking bare chests or men w/ manboobs? Manboobs are always wrong. Bare chests are acceptable only when it's really ridiculously hot or they're in a gym. But that bare chest on the street for no reason shit is unsavory, real country

There is such a thing as a shirt!

Same goes for Burning Man. I think the body is lovely, but I do think that some should cover up. Besides who wants to burn thier bits? ANd it's all dusty and dirty. I don't get it.

See I don't get how nude = sex. It shouldn't

I am soooo not a fan of the BC. Prolly cuz I see it waaaay too often on a straight friend of mine. But we can agree to disagree!

I especially love them if they have a tan line.

superspaceboy said:

I think it does just because we're a little repressed and addicted to clothes in this society. Bare breasts (even men's) make people crazy, for better or worse.

Weird in this society how sex is everywhere but we're all uptight.

I'm sayin', Janfriend... On a good day, what do you like about men?

You'll have to ask someone else that question! I'm really angry about this. I hate the double standard

Doesn't bother me at all

Janfriend said:

No, you're the one who keeps posting threads about men and all our myriad issues. I'm asking you, quite specifically, what you actually like about the opposite sex.

The only man I recall reading you say anything supportive about is the guy in your sig, and he's a fictional character who wants to be a woman.

Help a brother understand.

ThreadBare said:

You trippin'. The only posts I've made "criticizing" men is the ones about them in the church and if you call this a criticism, then this one. Showing one's tits in public is unacceptable. I don't know what other posts you're talking about and your question is borderline personal. Do you expect me to start a thread about my love for men because it will somehow mean something? I don't get it

Janfriend said:

No, actually, I've noticed a fairly consistent tone to your posts about men, beyond this latest spate.

I mean, we all dislike seeing folks do stuff. I disliked seeing a woman blow her nose without a tissue, a few days ago, as she walked down the street. Some women do that, like some dudes walking around topless is clearly an imposition on society at large. I agree.

But, I still love women and think they're wonderful. My question's straightforward yet still unanswered: Do you like anything about men?

ThreadBare said:

I'm not answering the question because I don't see the relevance and don't believe your observation of me is correct. Maybe you can list these supposed post via orgnote

Janfriend said:

The relevance is this:

Are you irked because that specific subset of men disgusts you? Or are you disgusted by men in general?

I'm not a fan of black-eyed peas. So, my saying, "I hate black-eyed peas when they're used in ice cream" would be a bit disingenuous. It's not the ice cream I have a problem with... it's black-eyed peas in general.

I don't mean to come off as a jerk. I'm not trying to pile on. I'm just curious what you like, if anything, about men. If I've drawn an unfair conclusion (which is wholly possible), please forgive me.

ThreadBare said:

I believe I posted this thread was about men who expose their chests in public, not about men in general

You're not getting and answer to your question

Um.

Why the hell does this upset you so much?

The real country way to do it is to go shirtless with denim overalls. The only place I didn't see that growing up was in church.

RipHer2Shreds said:

No, real REAL country is to go shirtless w/ DRESS PANTS Now THAT is some ultra country shit! Yes, I've seen it before
