Somewhat-Brutal Honesty Hour #6

[batskeets]

I haven't done one of these in a while, and I have something to bitch about, so here we go!

Put some freakin' CLOTHES on already!

Okay, so the weather outside has been the roasty-toasty, bright and shiny, melt-your-face-off kind of weather, and I understand that it's hot outside, but for some reason, people take that as an excuse to veer sharply towards nudity in public places. And let me tell you, it is GROSS.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not as though I haven't ever appreciated a well-built shirtless guy in my day, because I have. But for every nicely-toned fellow out there, there are tons of scary-ass people who insist on parading around half-naked and acting like they're hot shit because of it.

What the hell is the mystique about being naked in front of other people?? And I especially don't understand the attraction for those who have nasty bodies. I mean, yeah, I don't have the world's best body or anything (granted, it's not horrible either... I actually consider myself rather well-proportioned in my semi-stockiness), but you also won't see me joining the floppy booby tribe and running around in a stupid Old Navy halter top and micro-shorts.

So let me just say this: No, Mister "I Only *Think* I Can Play Ball", I do *not* want to see your out-of-shape gut hanging out over your trousers. No, Little Miss "Please Ogle Me and My Tube Top", I do *not* want to see your goddamned nipples. PUT THAT AWAY. Thanks.

Maybe I think the skinny, flat people running around today in belly-button showing stuff are ugly. -_-

See, that's EXACTLY my thing. There are chicks all over the place here who are built like twelve-year-old boys, and they insist on showing off their non-existent breasts. I know *I* don't want to see that! I'd rather see someone like you or myself dressed skimpily. Secondary sex characteristics are GOOD, j0.

But my main point is, there are shorts that won't let the booty hang out the back, and there are tops that will keep a girl's boobies from flying out at random. ALL people, no matter what their build, can dress for the weather without being indecent, but around here, they *don't*.

Foe' the record, on really hot evenings I'll be damned if I'm going to wear something with sleeves, flabby arms or no flabby arms, but for reasons of modesty, I'd likely not leave the house like that.

I don't care about flabby arms. I've got 'em, I'm not about to protect the world from 'em, and you are 100% right to feel the same, girl! ^_-v But jeebus, I should at least be able to actively *choose* who gets the honour of showing me their birthday suit. Sheeshy.

So, in short: hot weather is not an excuse to show off your privates. Arms are good, legs are fine, boobies and butts? HELLS no.

P.S.

From the few con photos I have seen, I think you're a cutie-patootie too, Weds! ^_-
