Do u wear a wifebeater shirt??

Post by REO Cokewagon »

Do u wear a wifebeater tank top??

Do u prefer them over the white T-shirt??

Do you tell people to get off your lawn with that thing on? Do you actually yell at your wife with that thing on? Do you mow the lawn with just wearing a wifebeater? What do your neighbors think of you wearing a wifebeater? Do any of your neighbors wear wifebeater shirts, and what are they like?


I like how here Amazon actually calls it a wifebeater shirt: :lol:

I wear em all the time. To show off my muscles. Not married, so no wife to beat. That would be dumb (getting married).

Only black ones. Does it count as a wifebeater if it's not classic white?

Yes. Perfect when I wear jeans. And I also sleep in them as well.

Sorry, nobody to beat in my house. 8)

No, I just wear plain undershirts.

I've never understood why people wear them underneath - at least undershirts can collect some pit sweat and protect your work shirt/dress shirt/polo.

I wear my Katy Perry tour shirt a lot recently
Cut sleeves off
Haven not started lawnmower since I was like 17. Cool then got cash from that. Always ready to buy WWF tickets

Don’t think I’ve ever worn wife beater shirt like Kid Rock or Tuff singer. Always liked Firehouse look better
Wear shirt under a shirt? Why would you ever do that? Only time I did that was on ski trips in the mountains.
Never yelled at anyone before no reason
Always fun to see Peg Bundys of the world yell at husbands in public. Seeing husband “settle” and get punished is fun

Firehouse 1991 life is awesome- everyday thanks
Whenever you saw wife beater shirt on Jerry Springer guest that was GOLD
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

Sometimes, but not recently (um, need to drop about 20 lbs to make it look right).
Also, depending on fabric, can look too nipply.

It's a love/hate relationship.

Never owned one and won’t start now.

I wear dress shirts to make me feel important … when I do sleep I wear dress shirts and slacks so when I die I’ll be found dressed nice and shaven … I don’t want anyone shaving my face after I’m dead.

If you’re a man I don’t want to see your erect nipples, I don’t think I’ve ever had an erect nipple in my life and I won’t start NOW!

Never.
Plain white T w/crew neck under any and all shirts I wear. Unless it's a thousand degrees, like it is now.

Armpits should be treated like vaginas, ass cracks, nipples, penises and testicles and should be covered at all times in public.

I got a free Black Label Society one that I'll wear on occasion. I live in a high rise so no lawn to defend and I'm not into ladies so no wife to bully. Does look kinda butchy though. Its summer so maybe I should throw it on if I know I'm going to be in the sketchy part of town.

BTW, back in my day they were called “Italian” undershirts shirts before the wifebeaters took them over. I’m 1/2 but never embraced the look.

I've never understood why people wear them underneath - at least undershirts can collect some pit sweat and protect your work shirt/dress shirt/polo.
Came in to say this. An entirely pointless garment for their originally intended purpose.

Shitty ones like Fruit of the Loom don't deserve purchase. A good brand can be a layering piece, but not a legit undershirt. That's what real undershirts are for, as you said.

I disagree. When I'm smacking my bitch up, I prefer the freedom of motion a sleeveless shirt affords me.

Very occasionally, but never in public. Only in my house or yard when it's hot. Never as an undershirt for reasons others have stated. In the NJ/NYC area they're also referred to as "Guinea Tees"...there's no nice/reasonable name between that and wife beater!
