Wearing tight shirts/tank tops in public?

[Buckzor]

So to me, i'll only ever wear tank tops at the gym, or if i'm playing sports with mates or something similar.
I feel like i'm being a "gym douche" if I wear a tank top because I lift & people can tell (yet it's okay for skinny/average guys to wear it with no big deal?)
And by tight shirts, I mean like ones that make it hard to move around in and end up sitting around the top of the bicep (around the shoulder) because there's not enough room.

My mate (who's recently gone on anxiety meds) is telling me I should do the same, that it shows confidence & that women love a strong looking dude. Like I wear "tight" shirts, but nothing that literally doesn't fit me in the slightest.

Would you say wearing tank tops or really tight shirts in public is a turn off because it's accepted they're trying to show off?

Thoughts appreciated.

You should wear whatever you want regardless of how some irrelevant person will perceive you that shouldn’t matter because at the end of the day who do you want to please yourself or a stranger. It’s simple wear stuff that makes you feel good about yourself & that you are comfortable with

I think tank tops are attractive on a guy, especially a fit guy. Tight shirts are as well but if it’s noticably extremely too small like you’re about to rip through it.. it’s not a turnoff but a better fitting “still snug” shirt would be more attractive is what I think😄😊

I do as I want and don’t care what other people may think. I don’t count their opinions over mine. If I like it I’m gonna wear it if they don’t like it that’s just too bad. It’s not like they have too. Like it or not I don’t care.

I really don’t wear tank tops but I do wear tight shirts. I feel good in them because I am fairly muscular and feel it is okay to show of a bit. To be honest I love going in public in them with a pump from the gym lol.

Thanks for the most helpful. Don’t be afraid to show off a bit. Looks like you work hard so be proud of your work.

I do a lot of weightlifting and I like wearing tight tank tops out and about to sores and other places. not sure what a gym douche is but I find muscular guys in tank tops very hot looking and I often wonder why a guy that goes to all the work to have a muscular build then hides it with long sleeves when most people want to see him shirtless or in a tight tank top or tight sleeveless tee. I love going shirtless outside when it's warm enough to go shirtless at fairs and other summer events and I love checking out other shirtless guys at those events.
