I always took my shirt off because our group of friend went to our friends folks lake cabin and party and hangout there but I’m an athletic muscular build but I’m not chiseled, my arms and legs are really well define but my mid section has a little padding on it. But all my buddies were tall skinny dudes with 6 packs and I stood out but I figure this is what I got deal with it and don’t look if you don’t like it.
I practically have the same body at 34 that I did at 18 other than looking older, and now I’m in awesome shape compared to most guys my age! So I didn’t need to diet, I just needed to wait 15 years for everyone else to get fat!
Always remember that everyone’s self conscious about something and most of the time your friends will tell you there’s no reason for you to act that way. And your never going to look better than you do right now, every girl thinks they look fat or there’s something wrong with a picture they just took but two years later they realize the truth which is your still good looking.
A confident woman is hot, so rock what ya got and if someone doesn’t like it or your not up to their “standard” then fuck em!
So I was chunky as a kid, and didn’t care, I forgot to say that I was self conscious about me being 25lbs over weight or so
And now my back is scarred up and discolored from having over 35 procedures/surgeries on my back after I broke it on when I was on active duty and it’s disgusting looking and for the first few years I didn’t let anyone see it because it’s gross looking and there’s scars all over and a little box that pokes out, and I didn’t want to attract attention and have people come ask me a ton of questions. But I said screw it and started taking my shirt off but having headphones on to deter people, and yeah I get a lot of stares and weird looks but I don’t care anymore, it is what it is and I’m living for me, not their “comfort” so you should do the same! Good luck!
whats funny about when you see questions like this you would think that the typical beach must look like a fashion show full of beautiful people but in reality most just look like this wherever you are in the world... to that end i just wear trunks like every other guy
Haha. Very good point.

I'm a naturist, so I prefer less, but if I'm swimming somewhere where I can't go nude, I usually wear these short swim trunks:
Or, if in a more continental or private setting, I'll wear these swim briefs:
I own both bikinis and have one piece bathing suits. I'm far more confident and comfortable wearing a one piece when being highly active playing things like beach volleyball, going jet skiing, wrestling around in the water... cause they're more reliable in well holding things in place and not having a wardrobe malfunction. But having a bikini is nice to get that full body tan.
I lik dat
Even prior to my back injury and weight gain, I was a gym rat that weighed 190 pounds at 7% body fat. I knew what I looked like, and didn't care to show it, with the exception of showing a couple girls my abs on request. They were touching them, I felt awkward, put my shirt back down, and said goodbye. I have never been comfortable shirtless in public.
I Love going shirtless. Feels good, and I'm quite confident in my look.
At the same time, I kinda feel bad... I'm a College Student who lives with a Family who are all... Overweight... Sometimes I wonder if Me going shirtless is a form of showing off and taunting... I wonder.
I go shirtless in the right context. I dont have the perfect body, im not chiseled and I got a little bit of a gut, and im kinda hairy, but I know i still look good so I dont mind going shirtless at all.
I love going shirtless everywhere I can. Helps me avoid getting a farmers tan, and just why not. Running shirtless around the neighborhood once in a while on a hot day was scary and breezy at first but feels really great now.
I think it'd make me kind of uncomfortable showing that much, which would be the biggest issue, but I'm not insecure about my body, as I'm slim and toned.
I’m confident in my body enough to wear one, but I prefer more modesty, so I choose not to wear them.
I'd prefer to go with a shirt on currently but I can go without a shirt. I'm just a bit more insecure about it 😞
Yeah I am, tho sometimes when I'm wearing a bikini, I may put on a shirt.
Despite my unattractive mid-section, I am confident enough to wear my bikinis.
I lost that disgusting white fat and I am comfortable with my body in the condition it is in
I'm confident to wear muscle or tank tops, sometimes I go outside with no shirt on
Well if I swimming or at the beach it makes sense to go shirtless.
To be perfectly honest I go beyond shirtless at times but when required I wear essentially boxer swim trunks and no Tshirt
I'm OK going shirtless (and if I wasn't, when I exercise outside in the summer, I'd probably overheat).
I'm not confident waering a bikini. I've belly fat and cellulite.
But I still waer a bikini at the beach.
Yeah i am confident to go shirtless. I don't get guys that wear shirts in the pool. So odd. 😕
I'm not confident in wearing a bikini or going shirtless.
I don't , because I figure the women couldn't handle it.
