Taking Your Clothes Off At The Beach

edited August 2011 in Spurious Generalities
Here's something - why is it socially acceptable to take your shoes, socks and t-shirt off at the beach yet doing it elsewhere is looked down upon by the general public? Why the beach? I wonder who invented that idea.

Seriously, is there a reason behind why this all started?

    It's because we're poorly a evolved mammalian primate species with as many vestigial social norms as vestigial appendages.

    To go swimming?

    And places such as restaurants it could be considered unsanitary.

    How... How can you be this dumb? It's because that's where you go swimming.

    This question is stupid.

    Its actually a recent development - back in the 20's people were all wearing suits to the beach and shit.

    But then again victorian morality is relatively recent in the scheme of things.

    In Australia during summer shirts off in public generally is fairly common, and thongs/barefoot are common year round.

    It is odd. I reckon it's got a lot to do with the whole ego thing. Fat chicks and neckbeard guys don't go topless, yet the people who strive to be what they aren't or are socially comfy do.

    Because the advertisers haven't told us it's what we want to do yet.

    No it wasn't. It's so stupidly common sense that it doesn't need a thread. Anyone that can't figure out the answer to this question in less than 6 seconds doesn't deserve to continue living.

    Fucking this. How retarded can you be?

    Unless you're some fat piece of shit that's never been to a beach (lol), it's pretty much common sense.

    To be fair I like to walk round topless on hot days, wherever I am. Show my ink off.
