Does belly sweat destroy your credibility?

So I'm out today doing football tab stuff and then covering a softball game, and it's easily 95 degrees outside. Needless to say, by the time I finished up I'm drenched in sweat. And, of course, today I made the mistake of wearing a medium-colored shirt so it really, REALLY shows. Like I'd just been doused with a cooler of water shows. I didn't hear any snickering, but for some reason I got this paranoid thought in my head that, as I walked away, people noticed and we're whispering amongst themselves, "My god, Batman is one sweaty reporter! That's gross! Let's mock him! Ha ha!"
So the question is this...on hot days, when your belly sweat, back sweat and whatever else sweat shows, is this a bad thing as far as keeping a professional air about you? How do you play this off? Do people even care or notice? Am I being totally paranoid about nothing?

 

I don't sweat. I glow.

 

I wear white t-shirts a lot with a basebal jersey. hard to see if i'm sweating. i've also lost 40 pounds, so i don't sweat like a pig quite as much.

 

Working as you apparently do near a nuclear power plant.

 

Yeah, you're probably a little paranoid about it, but I'd say that's normal, the paranoia and the sweat, that is.

We have an aversion to sweat and sweaty people. Just wear deodorant.

 

You've soooooooooooooooooooooooooo not spent enough time around middle-aged Southern women Dools  :

 

Consider buying some Nike Dri-Fit or Under Armour shirts.

They're light as hell, breathe and wick the moisture away from your body. No sweat stains.

And covering high schools, no one's gonna be too touchy about what you're wearing.

 

I typically wear white undershirts and try to stray from wearing light-colored shorts. Black, navy blue, brown and dark green are all decent choices. Sky blue, not so much.

 

I normally change into shorts or whatever, but today I went straight from the office to the game. No time to change, and under armour would probably look silly under a button-down shirt. And today, it happened to be a light blue shirt.

 

I actually keep 1-2 in my car for different situations. Never know when you might need them.

 

I'm so glad I've never had this problem. I'm so glad I've never had this problem. I'm so glad....

 

As long as you're not the only one there sweating -- see Albert Brooks in Broadcast News -- you shouldn't worry about it.
