What kind of Shirtless Runner Are You?

Exhibitionist Eddie

He's the ultimate shirtless runner who has one goal in mind when he goes running in public - to show off that god bod that he's spent hours sculpting either in the gym or doing sports. He's the guy who will leave his home shirtless even if the park is several kilometres away. A big fan of the shortest running shorts or bulge noticeable tights, he will slather on tanning oil all over his body to give that extra glisten and shine just so people will gawk. 

 

Flashy Freddy

This guy is a little more modest than Eddie and would actually wear a shirt before he leaves home, although it would most likely be a tank top from a famous brand. His shorts shoes and shades will also be just as expensive because he needs to show that he can afford his threads. The shirt usually will come off as soon as his static warm up is done as he still needs to show off the guns, pecs and abs he's worked hard to attain.

 

Halfway Harry

He's a little more easy-going and would reuse the clothes and shoes he used during NS. He is usually in good shape but not to the extreme of the first two and he's comfortable with his body. He often runs with a shirt on but will take it off halfway if it gets too hot or he gets to sweaty. It's never really to show off as he's not too concerned about what others think of him.

 

Proper Patrick

He's the guy who would bother to get dressed to work out. Running shorts and not regular shorts; dri-fit shirts and not regular singlets or tees; proper running shoes and not just any sneakers. He takes pride in how he looks and is presented in public. He will have sunscreen on, wear deodorant and even style his hair. He would be in great shape but the only time he would even take his shirt off is after the workout to cool down as he values function over vanity.

 

Reluctant Richie

Plagued with insecurities, Richies are usually former fat boys or skinny guys. So, even when they've worked hard to get a nice body, they still don't have the confidence to show it off readily. They usually run in the early mornings or late nights when crowds are less so that they can run shirtless and actually feel liberated from the years of shame. They also pray incessantly that they don't run into anyone they know.

 

So which one are you? Or maybe a combination of a couple or more?

Halfway Harry. Not too concerned about what others think of me. But it’s nice when a guy takes notice and gives me a compliment.

I always go out of home with a shirt on and shorts for running. Usually wearing army shorts or any shorts with inner lining without wearing underwear to run. I only take out shirt at start of running. For me i love to see those lean fit body and to encourage those around me to go topless i will always take the initiative to go topless first. A lean fit body and the confidence to show the body is very attractive to me.

Having run for many years.  The above picture is almost not quite accurate.  I would say 90% of runners/joggers wear shirt when they jog, 5% wear tights,  3 percentage elderly who took off shirts to cool while walking and, 1% took off shirt half-way and the final 1% shirtless very much to show off.   Let me break it down a little from the above>

 

90% who wear shirts.

-  Large mix wearing singlets and polo-T (unbranded) 

-  1 or 2 elderly wearing shirt with collars

-  A few youngsters wearing Army logo T-shirt (olive color)

-  Shoes, usually normal jogging shoes, didn't notice if they were branded.

 

5% - who wear tights

-  Either very tight T-Shirts or Tight sport shorts or both 

 

3% shirtless  (mostly elderly)

-  It is a lifestyle thing.  They do not feel comfortable wearing shirts whether they walk or jog. Some had their shirts wrap around the waist or on their head.

 

1%  half-way shirtless

-  Those are usually "marathon" runners,  you see them perspiring like crazy and once they finished running, they quickly pull off their shirts and start moving around to cool down the heat.

 

1%  Shirtless marathon jogger

-  0.5% genuine jogger, persistence and undestracted by their surroundings.   They will dissappear once they finished their task. 

-  0.5% vainity jogger, they love their bod and very conscious of their surroundings. They know when to pick their target audience and then run to over-take those target. 

    They ran and stop, ran and stop...depending on who their target audiences are and they will not miss a single Gurkha in their sight.  I seen one such runner, in his 60s or much older, judging by a few strand of white hair on his head.  He continues to loiter around much longer in the jogging path. 

 

The above is my years of observation and probably did not fit into the TS categories of Tom dick or harry?

 

I may talk about the type of joggers in future - shirt or no shirt.  Mostly how they run, butterfly, snake or Goldfish style,   It is quite a sight. Take your pick.
