3. Because I know this flabby dude who was born via Caesarian section
and he simply won't stop wearing them.

4. As long as you have the guns, it's appropriate.
It's people without the muscles that shouldn't wear them.

5. Is a muscle shirt
The same as a tank top or a "wife beater"?

7. To me, that's a tank top.
A "muscle shirt" is like a regular shirt, usually oversized, that just has no sleeves. Big in the 80's.

Can't ban tank tops. That's like half my wardrobe. Gotta let the guns and delts breathe.

8. Thanks for the clarification
I don't care for the sleeveless t-shirts from the 80's at all.

Tanks on the other hand....hmmm well depends on who is wearing them. :D

23. It's not the age, it's the shape.
But as long as it fits and it's clean then I say you can always wear it.

It's only when it doesn't fit and you're hanging out of it, or when it's tattered or filthy that I'll say someone really shouldn't wear it.

In general, people should wear whatever they like and feel comfortable wearing. Just make sure it fits and is in reasonably good shape.

:shrug:

25. Age is less of a factor than body type
Some people shouldn't wear one despite any age

26. The information age.
That shit was okay in the eighties (the industrial age or whatever it was), but I think civilization has matured enough to say no the muscle shirt and pants hanging around your knees and other such nonsense.

40. Older than 49
'cause I'm wearing one right now. Don't like it? Ask me if I care. It's hot here, and I'm comfortable. The real question should be, "When and where is it appropriate?"
