I suppose it depends on where (and when?) you grew up.

It wasn't unusual to go around shirtless - the only signs I remember were "No wet bathing suits" in stores - being we were beach-side.

 

The shirtless guy seemed to fit with the times, in my experience.

Americans and our hangups

[ThothAmon]

You should have seen what they wore in the sauna Muskoka circa 1975.

[Larryw7]

Some of those seventies conventions were held in rooms that were sweltering, and I remember seeing dealers taking their shirts off to combat the heat. Could explain this shirtless guy.

Canada's gross ... who lives there ?

[Unca Ben]

Perhaps there should be a safe zone to shelter sensitives from shirtless men.

[Unca Ben]

Somehow this seems appropriate:

Here's pretty much how I rolled in the mid-1970's.

Shirtless - hell, go ahead and make fun of the short shorts... (real men weren't afraid to show their legs in those days)

 

And for the sensitive & faint of heart at overexposure of man flesh, here's around the same time - appropriate dress for Disney World (notice the eyes - we just took a "break")
