Do female flatmates feel uncomfortable if their male roommates only wore boxers in the shared kitchen?

It's not really appropriate to be essentially in your pants only in a communal area. Would you go to Waitrose dressed like that?

Put some clothes on - no-one wants to see all of that.
I would find it uncomfortable. At least if they weren't attractive, sorry

A good example of a misplaced 'only' muddying the sense. Bad Reality Check :laugh:

Lol so true
I'd find it fairly inappropriate. Wouldn't be happy if I heard my bf was doing that either to be fair.
I mean… don’t most guys walk around the home with their boxers on especially when they wakeup?
Bit weird to do that, even if it was around all guys. You’re not an Abercrombie and Fitch model, no one wants to see your pot belly and chicken legs.
Yeah you shouldn't really be doing this at all.

If you want to do the nude chef thing stump up the £££ for your own unjudgey space.
I felt uncomfortable when my flatmates walked around in their underwear and I'm a guy :tongue: Like is it so hard to just put on a pair of trousers/joggers/whatever before you leave your room?

Honestly I felt kind of uncomfortable even when my housemates did it and they were people I was friends with and had known for several years, much less people I hadn't known at all!

It's lousy behavior and inapropriate.
Walking around topless or in your underwear and without any footwear in communal areas of shared rental accomodation is inconsiderate.

Btw, it's not me, I just seen in some flats and I find it weird


ummmmmmm- **** yeah
I live in an apartment with 5 guys and none of them walk around in just their boxers rarely there might be one person who is shirtless but thats just going from their room to get a drink/stuff from dryer which is in the kitchen. I wouldn't necessarily feel uncomfortable just more embarrassed especially if I had people over or lived with the other sex, I don't mind people being shirtless especially if they are in shape/fit but I'd rather not have to see your beer belly whilst I'm eating my weatabix
This is so weird - the thread, that is. Older threads have very different replies, pointing out it's normal, he's covered, it may be a shared space but it's basically your home, so it's not a big deal. Now people seem to have a problem with it - unless the guy is attractive, which a) is idiotic as attraction is subjective and b ) makes you a massive raging hypocrite. I used to do it - I actually slept naked but put my boxers on to go out of my room. Only two people ever cared, both Indians who were rude enough to move to this country and try to enforce their own Indian cultural morals on English people. I used to stand chatting to girls in the kitchen or dining area, none of them ever even hinted that I should put some more clothes on ("I'll leave you to get dressed and we can chat later", for example).

Seems like people have got a lot more immature since I did my undergraduate degree. Are you all Tik Tok users?

I couldn't agree more.
