\"\"<\/p>\n

It seems like every time I wear one of my shirts from Threadless<\/a>, women want to look at my chest.<\/p>\n

They’ll say, “What does your shirt say?” or “I’m just reading your shirt.” But I know that it’s just some excuse to look at my chest. It’s so obvious.<\/p>\n

I feel so cheap and dirty. I feel more like an object, than a person.<\/p>\n

Hey women, I’m up here, not down there. The last time I checked, my chest can’t hold a conversation.<\/p>\n

I guess the least they could do is be a little more secretive when staring at my chest, like wear sunglasses or make strategically placed holes through a newspaper.<\/p>\n

I’m not a piece of meat. I’m not their Brad Pitt to ogle and drool over. I have feelings, beliefs, dreams, compassion, intelligence, and a heart in this body of mine. There’s more to me than just my chest.<\/p>\n

I wonder how women would like it if I stared at their chests?<\/p>\n

Wondering if they’re fake or real? <\/p>\n

Wondering if their nipples are pierced?<\/p>\n

Wondering if they would like it if I said, “honk, honk,” while squeezing their chest?<\/p>\n

Wondering if they like having their nipples twisted like they were radio dials?<\/p>\n

I bet women definitely wouldn’t like it if I stared at their chests. <\/p>\n

Although I will admit, my chest is probably my best physical feature. If you saw the rest of me, you’d probably agree. I guess doing five pushups a day has really helped. Although, my chest is only my best feature when I have it covered with a shirt. Without a shirt…Well, let’s just say, you really don’t want to see that, especially if you’ve eaten something.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now some of you maybe thinking that I should stop wearing the Threadless shirts so that women won’t have an excuse to look at my chest, but I like these shirts because some of them are really clever and funny. But it’s not just clever and funny shirts, there are also very cute, artsy, meaningful, and unusual shirts at Threadless. Although, those are usually too hip for me and would probably draw even more attention to my chest.<\/p>\n

At Threadless, shirt designs are submitted by talented, mostly unknown designers and artists from all over and Threadless members get to vote for the shirt designs that will be printed. It’s like American Idol, except without Paula Abdul’s weird clapping and Simon Cowell’s asshole-ness.<\/p>\n

Shirts cost $15 each, plus shipping, but several times per year Threadless has a $10 sale on all their shirts to get rid of older stock. Speaking of stock, all the shirts that Threadless prints are limited-edition. So if they run out of a particular design, it’s usually gone for good, unless a whole bunch of people ask for another printing of the shirt.<\/p>\n

Since I won’t stop wearing Threadless shirts, I guess I’ll let women continue to stare at my chest, but I still don’t approve of it. Hopefully, women will grow to appreciate what’s inside, instead of what’s on the outside.<\/p>\n
