A guy should never be afraid to take his shirt off in any circumstances.

Somehow a lot of guys have become terrified of taking their shirt off unless they look like a bodybuilder. Either they think they’re too skinny, too fat, not muscular enough, too hairy, have acne, stretch marks, loose skin, scars.. There’s always an excuse.

A guy should be comfortable existing in his own body without needing to hit some imaginary approval rating first.

You don’t need perfect genetics to be outside shirtless in 95 degree weather.

And if you’re a guy who *does* want to improve your physique, being ashamed of your current body isn’t helping you.

I think somewhere along the way guys started treating taking their shirt off like it’s a public fitness competition instead of just… having a human body.
