People that wear shirts or hats in the pool...

Why? Both look stupid when you're in the water.

If it's because you're fat, the shirt doesn't help. Your Dolphins hat while you're in the water makes no sense.

Parent's why do you put shirts on your kids? They look like dorks. If you're worried about sunburns, they make products for that.

I wear a hat in the pool or lake quite a bit and really don't care what you or others think.

Scalp sunburn, I'd guess is main reason for hat.

Do you really want to see a fat person without their shirt on??

Sunshade

Skin cancer develops primarily on areas of sun-exposed skin, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, and on the legs in women.

They are still fat but a covered up fat person is better than a topless one

Must be an Iowa phenomenon.

I was buying my kids rash gaurds in the late 90''s when they were toddlers. If you are in the surf, you understand there place. When they started showing up in Iowa, they were called UV shirts. Can you buy sunblock, sure. Is it better sun protection than a rash guard or hat, no.

Dearest fat people,

The shirts must go. I demand to see you wet glistening bodies in the pool, and please refrain from wearing hats so I can get a good look at that face too. Don't worry if you get a sunburn I have some aloe I can rub on you.

Your friend,

HawkFantastic

But, you look fantastic in the water in your speedo?

Much easier to just put/keep a shirt on than to try to get sunblock on your own back. Also easier than trying to get kids to stay still and buy into reapplying repeatedly. Lessons are mostly caught, not taught, so I wear a shirt too and don't have to worry about reapplying either. Win, win.

Can wash and wear the shirt again and again. Environmentally sound? However, a question for the board. I am a big, fat guy. Would you prefer I NOT wear a shirt, or wear one? I'm wearing one anyway to avoid skin cancer but if it was just a matter of looks, which would be less (for those in the shallow end of life) offensive?

Get one of those retro hipster outfits and grow the fun mustache to go with it.

And the response from the volleyball court?

Natural - how about this fella? Too primitive?

Primitive looks good on me. I'd wear that in the pool.

I have been proven wrong in my thinking. I have clicked the like button. I have to ask, is that a milk mustache?

Chicks don't mind a hairy chest, it's the hairy back that they don't dig.
