Take the shirt off!!! Most of the people who have responded to "no shirts off" seem to live in rural areas or parts of the country that are a bit behind the times. I think taking off your shirt lets you show all your hard work. Thats why I like Sound Factory in NYC on a Saturday night. Lots of muscled bodies-both male and female-wearing next to nothing.
It seems on this board that when you step a bit outside of the norm, you're either characterized as a trouble-maker or queer.
Thats why I like NYC and other major cities like LA, SF, Chicago,Houston and Atlanta-lots of individuals-not as many clones- like the rest of the U.S.
Hey-wake up and smell the roses! Life is passing you by!
