One time I was at the beach and I took off my shirt. A lady nearby looked at me with disgust and made a barfing gesture to her girlfriends, who proceeded to laugh.

I felt very ashamed of my body. I put my clothes back on and walked off the beach, with tears in my eyes. As I was driving away I looked in my rearview mirror and saw all the people having fun on the beach. And I knew that I would never go back.

And I never have.

Why do the ladies have to be so mean?

They learn this as children, they do it in front of parents and teachers who fail to stop them and instead think it is normal and will sort itself out. You can blame the parents and teachers, in part. Women are very badly brought up these days, much worse than men.

There is no real way around this except to ignore them or confront them.

Most if the youth of this generation are mean - guys and gals.

You shouldn't be at the beach anyway since all the women there are just an inch of being naked and you are putting yourself in a situation of temptation. If you want to swim, go to a beach that is secluded but bring a friend with you in case something happens to you.

I think guys are still cute if they are a bit overweight. The only thing that would be a turn off for me would be a really skinny guy or a morbidly obese guy (like 400 lbs or more).

Troll or trolls in this thread.

Agreed.
