I'm not advocating buttoning all the way up. But you should only have 1 button unbuttoned. That's it.

there should also be a law against the morbidly obese wearing spandex or belly button piercings. :D

I say that the women who dislike this should give us men a taste of our own medicine. Leave the top 2-3 buttons of your blouses open. :p It's a win-win scenario for the women. Either us men will be too distracted to do anything other than what you say, or you'll make a killing on sexual harassment lawsuits (or maybe both!). ;)

I don't care if it's comfortable for him. I don't want to look at it. And since I work with the guy, I'm forced to look at it. Dressing like a slob is comfortable too, but I'll still make fun of you if you come in to work wearing sweatpants and a Winger tank top.

People have the right to wear what they want. And I have the right to make fun of them.

Top button rarely gets buttoned, however, unless I have a t-shirt underneath, thats as far as it goes.

Like I said, 2 buttons isn't bad. In fact having your shirt buttoned with just the very top button undone looks dorky on most. I think it's when the third button is undone the person starts to look swarmy.

i am sorry sir but if you don't care about his comfort, why shall he care about your's? The area that covers those 2 buttons are less than 5% of our body. You are not forced to look it. You just do it for your own personal reasons.

I guess it can be different for different people, as someone mentioned above. We are talking about the same net effect, though: too many buttons open looks like a porn star. This guy is not a porn star.

Xiety, I could further explain why I'm disgusted by my coworker: his incessant smoker's cough, wearing the same clothing week after week, constant lateness/not showing up for work, vomiting in his cubicle trash can on a regular basis (so much so that there is dried vomit splattered against his drawers), Trust me, if you worked with him, you wouldn't care about his comfort, either.

LoL ok... tell me where you work so I won't apply for a job there when I graduate next year :)

Either way, as you confessed :)D), buttons of the shirt is not your reason for being disgusted by him. Many others... and I think buttoning all buttons looks kinda silly unless you are wearing a suit...

I usually have the top two buttons undone and I don't have nasty chest hair. Is that ok?
Having just the top button undone still feels a little snug.
:D
