No shirts & Yoga pants

I personally don't criticize or judge anyone for doing what makes them feel happy or good about themselves, anyone should do whatever they want to do. But I also think some people are ignorant if they ignore the responsibility that comes with wearing or not wearing certain clothes, because putting on or removing clothes is a conscious decision. If I want to wear a low-cut shirt because I feel comfortable in it, fine, but that doesn't mean I'm not responsible for having people's attention on my cleavage. If I have the free choice to put on a regular shirt, then I will consciously choose that over a low-cut shirt if I don't intend to draw attention to myself sexually. Still, none of this justifies criticism or judgement and implies anything about me as a person, except that I don't mind showing off my body to other people and potentially triggering other people that way. Whether attention is intended or not, it is usually achieved responsibly and consciously. And with that in mind, I don't think there is a reason to tell other people what they should and shouldn't do, because we as human beings are able to and responsible for dealing with our own triggered-ness by something that catches our attention, and I think that should apply to both men and women equally.

 

Yes it would be nice. Nice thoughts.

 

If you saw this guy who routinely does not wear a shirt on my street you wouldn't call it triggering I am guessing. I also passed by a guy running without a shirt the other Saturday morning in a neighborhood and like I just could not picture someone being triggered by the sight.

 

A sign at some mechanic shop I ride by has been reading as follows recently:

Three things don't lie

*forgot the first one, something about kids, maybe just young children*
Drunk people
Yoga pants

I would add too:

Men without a shirt on

 

How is shirtless triggering?

 

I'm confused by that myself. I think what they are trying to say is that for a woman it might be easier to be enticing without a shirt because the sight of breasts is always naturally triggering to men, regardless of physical fitness. Whereas a man's natural physical sex appeal might depend more on physical fitness with the upper body signaling strength and therefore being able to protect his woman.

 

I assume you didn't think before you asked that question.

 

I'm actually a big fan of yoga pants and no shirts. I live wearing no shirt on a regular basis for a multitude of reasons. And yoga pants look cute on girls. They wear it bc they want to and they look great, I don't see a problem.

 

Well said.

 

How about men wearing yoga pants in public?

Why and with what reaction?

 

The thing is it doesn't matter if you're a fan of them, people can get triggered by it regardless. It's like a woman who likes to wear bikinis and her being confused why people are triggered by it. Maybe not everyone would be triggered by it but many would be. Not saying you shouldn't dress like that, at the end of the day people need to manage their triggers.

 

For many people, certain styles of clothing is much more sexually provocative than the bare body.

 

Agreed, some things were not meant to be seen

 

When I read "No shirts and yoga pants" I didn't envision an either/or thing. ;-)

 

Well said. I agree.
