Why can't a man button up his shirt to the top?

Answer 1

Well of course some men do this, but it does make a certain statement considered outside the mainstream. Your reaction to a man with his shirt buttoned all the way up is a guide here; you might note a certain 'closed' kind of vibe from this.

Answer 2

Reasons grown men might not button a shirt all the way to the top (humorous reasons included):

1. The person has a physical disability that makes it hard to work buttons.
2. The person has a mental disability that makes it hard to dress himself.
3. The guy hates feeling constricted at the neck.
4. He thinks it looks nice or sexy.
5. It is cooler on a warm day.
6. He feels like a store mannequin with the shirt buttoned all the way to the collar.
7. He has a big Adam's Apple on a thicker neck which makes it hard to button.
8. His mother always buttoned it for him; he never learned how to button at the collar.
9. It looks dumb if not also wearing a tie (and many men hate ties).
10. He likes showing his hairy or hairless chest.
11. He uses his bare chest to show off jewelry.
12. He has a sexy tattoo on his upper chest that he wants everyone to see.

Answer 3

He can, if the shirt has the buttons to do so. If you mean why don't some men do so, then for comfort or fashion.
