So, I exercise, eat a healthy diet, and because of that I am in good shape. In the dog days of summer, it’s nice to wear a muscle shirt as a form of casual wear. However, because of the aforementioned, I’m immediately labeled as self centered, a show off, full of myself, etc by others. I’ve been told this by a couple females and buddies when they say, “Do you really have to wear that shirt?”

However, some skinny punk is just fine wearing a muscle shirt and nobody thinks any different about him. It’s just looked at as fine summer attire.

Explain this to me???????

Example 1 (apparently not ok)


Example 2 (apparently perfectly acceptable)

Why do you give 2 shits what someone else thinks of you?

Sleeves and underwear are the yolks of our oppressors.

Also, your friends are jealous douche bags. Get them on keto and in the gym

Not sure of the frat level here, but I'm pretty sure the douche level is a solid 8.5.

Maybe don't call it a muscle shirt, and call it a tank top or something.

Perhaps your terminology is the only problem.

The amount of time you spent looking at pictures of dudes in muscle shirts to find just the right one....you could also be labeled a homosexual

You mean a tank top? Maybe not calling it a muscle shirt would be a good start.

Honestly man life is way too short to care about what people think about you. If you want to wear a muscle shirt wear the shirt. If your buddies or females say "Do you really have to wear that shirt?" say "Yes" and move on.

It takes a lot of dedication to eat right and workout, show off the fruits of your labor.

I wear number 1 all summer when I’m out and about. It’s fricking 110 degrees here so I can give two shits what anyone thinks about me. I even cut my own shirts for the gym, and know what? I don’t care what anyone thinks.
