If I hadn't already decided to keep my tummy covered, that totally would have done it. thanks didy.

Target usually has a couple styles of tankinis, and I think I found my cute one-piece at... um... I don't remember.

adt6247 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 [quote name='Terra Firma' post='1371598' date='Aug 27 2007, 01:31 PM']And to expand on my earlier comment, after some thought: When I have issues with a guy being shirtless, I think of it as my problem and not his. As in, I don't think a shirtless guy is immodest. I think that if I have an issue it is my heart/mind that needs to change, not his level of dress.[/quote] See, this I take issue with. A man should take responsibility toward those around him, as much as a woman. On the very, very few occasions I go to the beach and/or pool, I wear a shirt, except for when I'm in the water. I'll often take off my shirt to do sweaty work around the house, but only if there's no women around (which is most of the time). Outdoors, though, I wear a shirt. Again, it's not only about causing others to sin (frankly, male immodesty is less likely to cause a woman to sin, as women are not stimulated visually to the same degree men are, but it's still a factor), but it's about appropriateness and modesty. Male beauty isn't as sacred as female beauty, however, one must not flaunt one's body. One must treat the body with reverence, and save such displays for marriage. Not to mention, some of us are flabby wookies. No one wants to see that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIX Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Honestly, it is hot enough to wanna take your shirt off, it is probably sunny enough that you want to keep your shirt on to defend yourself from the sun's rays. Some people obsess with tanning, which I find ridiculous. I mean honestly, w--w--wwhh-wwwhhyyyy? What is so great about a suntan that you would slap on SPF 0.5 and bake yourself for hours on end? Why are suntans considered objectively attractive to begin with? Personally, skin cancer just isn't my thing. And, not to sounds racist, but I also don't like the idea of becoming lobster-red for days at a time. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I do burn if I spend lots of time in the sun (as I recently found out), I can usually do 3-4 hours with no ill effects. Those of us of Mediterranean descent often have a bit of a leg up on those that come from further north... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Red Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 [quote name='prose' post='1371583' date='Aug 27 2007, 08:51 AM']I don't mind shirtless. BUT the bottoms need to be pulled up to an appropriate level. Men with the swim trunks that seem to be being held up by their... um... privates. And then you see not only the six pack, but the muscles that lead to their pelvis. This can DEFINITELY be occasion to sin. definitely. Overall, however, I think it is fine. As for the 2-piece. A tankini I think is perfectly modest and appropriate.[/quote] so agreed on all points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Not too bad for modesty, though I guess swimwear for both genders is not too flattering. Meh. Btw, I dont see how one gets a tan w/ that... /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin86 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Actually, tans that you aren't born with, of any sort, are unhealthy and cause skin cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
