Question

Why do male beach volleyball players wear shirts but females were bikinis?

Answer 1

Probably because you get really hot and sweaty playing so you don't want to be wearing something that will make you even more hot and sweaty. So the girls wear the lightest thing they can (a bikini). And you have to have something on that has your country, your name, and your number, so then the guys can't go shirtless. So they wear jerseys.  

Answer 2

Are you saying you want to see the men play in g-strings?

Answer 3

Because it's sexier that way. Lol, I am a bi female and I am not turned on by watching sweaty men play volleyball but the women. Yes!!! Nice

Answer 4

So we don't turn g*y.

Because the Olympic staff consists of sexists. Not that I would put bikinis on the men, but I would put shirts and shorts on the women (like what the men wear).

Answer 13

I don't get this either.  If sand is so uncomfortable against the skin caught in your clothes surely the men would be wearing speedos or something similar to a bikini while playing?  The fact they don't makes me think it's more about image than sportsmanship.  Frankly the idea of getting sand caught in the groin area of a bikini bottom seems a whole lot more uncomfortable than if you were wearing looser boardshorts that let the sand drop away.  And if your bikini edges are tight enough to seal out sand well that doesn't sound very comfortable either.  (And if sand is such a big problem why play volleyball on the beach in the first place!)  

I don't think it's a coincidence that a sport where women wear bikinis is more popular than other women's sports (basketball, softball)...  I don't think there's anything wrong with women in bikinis I just think in this case it seems a bit gratuitous or something.
