these are not half-tights, they're underwear

Hey wait, why didn't I get a chip time to register??

I can tell this guy had a wild night from the scratch marks on his chest.

That guy's whole outfit is going too far though. Headband, compression socks, half tights. Come on man. Is this a duathlon photo?

Those aren't compression socks, they're just tall black socks. If they were compression socks, they would come all the way up to his knee.

Those aren't scratch marks.

Whip marks?

This guy runs the Holyoke St. Patrick's day road race every year. It is a big drink fest from beginning to end. Nothing like hanging out a bunch of illiterate drunks in seedy Holyoke bars. Whoo hoo (not).

He's flushed from exercising.

nope, sorry. The upper part of his torso is flushed from exercising. Flushing does not cause one's skin to break out in red inflamed lines.

I looked closer...are you referring to the horizontal lines under his boobs? Looks like it could be marks from an HRM?

it looks like it's irritation from when he shaved his chest that morning

Or maybe he just has body lice and can't stop scratching himself? This would not be an outlandish possibility, given that he is running the Holyoke 5K.

I'm sure this idiot gets a lot of loving from the ladies.

Uh, what's so wrong with it? Humans have body hair, time to get used to that fact, kiddo. I have little body hair except where everyone else does, but someone else's body hair doesn't bother me in the least. What are you thinking, "oooh, I would so hook up with him if only he had a smooth chest?"

that guy's chest hair is shocking. What posesses men with out of control chest hair growth to run in public without shirts? I just don't understand the mentality. Does he have no shame? Does he intend to repulse others around him? Is he clueless? Does he need the chest hair police to force clothing upon him? Come on!

You find body parts that you've known about since you were a little kid to be "obscene?"

Yes, a little body hair is fine. But that guy is sporting a thick wool blanket. I am thinking to myself he needs to put on a shirt- that's about it.

Any amount of body hair is fine, it's biological. Aesthetics that go against that are unnatural.

I have no control over my aesthetic sensibility/impulse.

After reading your posts, I think you had a very controlling mother. You are extremely insecure, and you balk at a sign of manliness.

I am not sure if you are male or female, but either way you have something against manly men.

This is coming from a guy with very little body hair.

Ha! Quite the opposite!
