[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Males going around shirtless is not nearly as common as when I was growing up in the late 70s and early 80s.

My brother was shirtless 24/7 in the summer.  Mom not only didn't care, but was happy about it as it meant less laundry and less $$$.  Many, if not most of the other boys in our neighborhood often went without a shirt in the summer.  The men in the neighborhood, my dad included, often did yard work with no shirt.

My DS never went without a shirt unless he was at a pool or the beach.

My 2 DGS even wear a shirt in the pool.  However, just recently my oldest DGS (13) has become obsessed with working out and suddenly start going around the house bare chested.  So maybe the trend is starting to change again.

Same.  My DS (14)  likes to go shirtless in the summer but gets annoyed when we pester him about sunscreen.  Same for me as a mid 40s dad.  I would much rather do the yardwork shirtless, but its easier to put on a SPF shirt then sunscreen up.  [/quote]
