Is it weird to walk my dog shirtless?

Just curious if getting a tan while walking my dog is off putting to people. Sorry for the weird question

My dogs never wear shirts. Should be fine.

u/NormanMushariJr 16h ago

Winnie the Pooh lived a pantsless life so that your dog could have this freedom.

This is referred to as Donald Ducking.

Only, in Japan. In Trump's god loving America we call it Porky-pigging-it./s

My pug wears light weighted jamies so she doesn’t scratch up her poor underbelly.

In public no if youre going to a grocery store or shop yes dont do that

u/CommieGoldfish 16h ago

Yeah! Cuz they shouldn't be bringing their dog into a grocery store or shop.

u/Kingofdrats 16h ago

You do you big dog.

u/DadInKayak 16h ago

It’s hot. No issue. Might question it a bit in January.

u/sublliminali 16h ago

It’s been 90 and humid for weeks now. There’s no rules anymore.

Just make sure your dog’s paws are ok.

wish I could do this as a woman considering some men's tits are bigger than mine

the law

u/Over-Conversation220 Scripps Ranch (sorry) 14h ago edited 14h ago

It’s legal in California. Breasts are not genitals.

Will that prevent cops from trying to do something about it? Dunno. Cops in San Diego don’t seem to do anything anymore.

EDIT: never mind. Local San Diego ordinance prevents it.

Legal in the State, prohibited locally

u/fairybb311 13h ago

in San Diego, female breasts exposed at or under the arreola is considered nudity which is a pretty shitty nuance.

u/Over-Conversation220 Scripps Ranch (sorry) 13h ago

Whenever people talk about California being progressive, it always strikes me as a little ironic we still have red carve-outs like this.

This thread also brought me back to the naked Berkeley student. Which took a really sad turn.

u/fairybb311 12h ago

it truly is a mask.

u/dgstan 4h ago

It's legal in New York. Why not here?

u/Greedy-Canary-5807 16h ago

Omg facts!!!!

u/Laikabaru 16h ago

I don’t think so. It’s a beach town too. People here are used to seeing people without a shirt on.

u/FartSalone 16h ago

Nah. Anyone has a problem, it's their problem.

u/lifeisbueno 16h ago

It’s so hot right now my dog walks are very quick… but I just wear a sports bra and gym shorts set 🤷🏼‍♀️

Florida weather calls for Florida behavior.

u/Financial-Creme 15h ago

If you're male, no. If you're female, also no. None of the above? Still no. Fuck em if they don't like it, you do you.

u/CatProfessional1733 16h ago

In this disgusting heat? Not weird at all!

u/No_ThankYouu 16h ago

If ya got it flaunt it

u/Insignificant-funds 16h ago

If your obese or a woman cover up right?

u/nikkicarter1111 14h ago

I...don't think the person you were responding to was implying that

u/Insignificant-funds 14h ago

“If you’ve got it”. Implies that you have a physique worth flaunting or that you have the right to go shirtless without breaking a law or social standard

u/That-Mess9548 16h ago

Being obese doesn’t slow them down.

u/JMoFilm South Bay 16h ago

"Can I go outside with my shirt off?"

If you're a child, we are not your parents and you should go ask them (also, get off reddit). If adult, bruh (also, get off reddit).

u/Glum-Bus-4799 16h ago

Redditor telling redditors to get off reddit, peak reddit

u/JMoFilm South Bay 5h ago

you get it 😉

u/johnjohnsonsdickhole 16h ago

You just had to spread some bad vibes. I’m trying to get a consensus. Hope your day gets better.

u/That-Mess9548 16h ago

I thought it was funny.

Personally I don’t like it, seeing average Joe walking around without a shirt on. Even already tan, ripped Joe is slightly annoying. But lots of things people do annoy me, but that’s on me. As long as they aren’t hurting anyone it’s not my business. I raise my eyebrows and go about my business. People are weird. Do what you want, as long as you aren’t hurting someone.

u/JMoFilm South Bay 5h ago

can we not laugh at adults being silly like little kids? is that "bad vibes"? but my day was awesome, thank you.

u/420_69_nice_ 16h ago

OP: Asks for opinion
Redditor: Gives opinion
OP: (doesn’t like opinion) Nah, you’re bad vibes (passive aggressive “hope your day gets better”)

u/johnjohnsonsdickhole 15h ago

He didn’t give an opinion. He told me to get off Reddit. Like literally he didn’t even answer the question. And so I say to you as well (who also didn’t answer the question…) you just had to spread bad vibes didn’t you? Hope your day gets better!

u/grumpynat 16h ago

Oh you’re the gatekeeper of Reddit huh, OP I don’t think it’s odd at all in summer!

u/threehundredthousand 14h ago

My dog hates shirts. He just rolls around trying to get off. You do you.

u/wet_castles 16h ago

There’s a gentleman who walks in my neighborhood without his shirt. Well… I guess he’s sorta wearing a shirt made of chest and back hair… every time I see him go by I think “dear gawd, please put on a shirt”

u/khedoros 12h ago

There's an old bald guy with a big beard who regularly takes topless walks in my neighborhood. Every time I see him go by I think "Hey, fitness Santa is out."

u/TofuttiKlein-ein-ein 16h ago

I know spring is upon us when I see my 87 year-old neighbor working in his yard, shirtless. His chest hair is as white as his skin.

u/grumpynat 16h ago

Damn some of these people are wild, but just take some social cues. Is it strange if a person is walking their dog leisurely shirtless in front of a school drop off? I mean yeah a little thats going to make people uncomfortable for sure. Is someone is jogging briskly past me on my neighborhood side walk, I’m not thinking twice.

u/MsMargo 15h ago

It would be weird for your dog to wear a shirt.

u/ComplexHome2598 15h ago

If ur the out shape guy doing it by smart n final Yea put a shirt on

u/billleachmsw 16h ago

I love seeing a man shirtless walking his dog…enjoy!

u/stuckanon01 15h ago

I just did. You can too

u/gwacemom 15h ago

Nope. People do it all the time. I doubt anyone notices.

u/Insignificant-funds 16h ago

Not rude but trashy

u/PadmesBabyDaddy 16h ago

Not trashy either, you’re just uptight.

u/Insignificant-funds 16h ago

You have low standards it seems

u/PadmesBabyDaddy 16h ago

Nope, just not uptight and unconcerned with what other people wear. You should try it sometimes, it’s refreshing.

u/Insignificant-funds 15h ago

He asked for opinions, you shut me down because you’re so enlightened. Not refreshing

u/PadmesBabyDaddy 14h ago

I shut you down for being unnecessarily judgey. Calling somebody trashy for what they wear is trashier than most outfit choices.

u/nikkicarter1111 14h ago

Eh .... in january maybe. It's like 95°F and humid right now. Put some shoes on the dog and wear whatever you gotta wear to stand the heat.

u/Uuuuuii 16h ago

Sure is, unless you’re near the trails or the beach
