I think the other issue that's being ignored here is that it's much harder to jerk off to the latest hard sends listed in climbing magazines when the climbers in the corresponding images aren't showing enough skin.

A little bit of karate... I had to compensate for the small genitals and the gut that I will gain sometime in my mid-forties... lol
klk- I even posted a few picks for you so that you could compare... But I don't want to know your thoughts, they may force me to upgrade to an MMA class...

I would love to say that your "assumption" is incorrect given the fact that I am a fit, active, 23 year old who climbs and works out on a regular basis
You could've saved that for yr ad in Craigslist.
a narcisistic, self-important, older californian who started climbing before I was born.
True, I have many character flaws, but low self-esteem is not among them. Heh.
We're not all meth-heads and rednecks.
Nice try, but I used to live in SoIll. You may've fooled the Ohioans, though.
The basic fact of the matter is, if someone doesn't want to wear their shirt in the gym, or outside, who am I to say otherwise?
I don't care about outside, for the same reason I don't care if folks wear shirts at the beach. I only care about the gym, and I wear a shirt in the gym for the same reason that good weight-lifting and gymnastics gyms mandate shirts and for the same reason that I wear thongs in disgusting campground showers: I don't want to soak in gnarly communicables.
The climbing gym is the meeting place for three different demographics-- urban hipsters, trad climbers, and undergrads --whose only other common characteristic is a shared contempt for personal hygiene.

I thought we had you guys on that side of the river, oh well, I guess that I'll just have to stick my head in the sand and hope that the chemical burns heal well, and that I can grow my eyebrows back in time for my court date... lol
That's awesome, I'm going to have to use that the next time I need a reason why I don't like to pull on plastic. Seriously, can I steal that quote?

If you're climbing, they're not pasties. They're nipple beanies.
And I just found my niche market. I betting the boulderers will love them!

Cam, if that's what you look like, I sure don't want to belay you! Shirt or no shirt.

note the SORT of; its more of an extreme.. meaning i don't care too much; people get old, people get guts... I'm pale and far from a six pack.. I keep my shirt on on my OWN accord; I'm just saying if I had the option of seeing a bunch of half naked hairy fat bellies.. or SHIRTS, i'd choose shirts.. that's all.

When I was climbing in the indoor gym in SF a lot of guys would go shirtless to show off their stuff. Never really bothered me, even though the reasoning was really just to show off. but THEN I got to thinking, 'what if the older fatter climbers were all shirtless'? I realized it would be sort of gross and uncomfortable. So I came to the conclusion it's almost a double standard.. I'd rather ALL shirts on than no shirts on.. HOWEVER if you're outdoor sweating your ass off in the heat, there's a very utilitarian purpose for it. To each their own... don't be a damned weiner. They told you that? Or you read their minds?
I had them all fill out a questionnaire actually.

It is what you make of it, nothing more. Spray... almost certainly. But big deal, really. It's just bodies. People proud of theirs will flaunt what they've got, people not will resent it, people unconcerned with skin will wonder what all the fuss is about. Everyone will project their own concerns, whatever they may be, on everybody else, and have an opinion about what others should wear, even if they don't say so out loud.

There's a lot of ways that having a shirt or not can be better than the alternative. It's not as simple as just spray or not, I think.

Epic. I fit into all three categories. And I still won't wear a shirt in the gym.

In reply to: what do they make them out of in Africa? ebony?)
Are you crazy, that's years ahead of our time. Actually, we're quite partial to the mixture of mud and manure smeared onto ones upper body.

Funny this photo of gram-pa would come up. He was my climbing mentor and wore that same outfits when we climbed together. Of course, the swami belt held his gut in a bit.
