Shirtless Pictures

Just wondering what people's opinions are of guys who post pictures of themselves without a shirt on? Even if it's not their main picture, do you find these guys are too self absorbed? I just think it's very tasteless and cheesy.

Hello,

I so agree with you...

there are so many men doing so too. I am at the point where it is bit of a turn-off and I just move on to the next guy.

Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy seeing a "hot torso" every once in a awhile. But in a more private setting ;-P

This type of pictures just leave me with a wrong impression.

The first thought that comes to mind about shirtless pics, especially if there aren't others that are fully clothed, is he is looking for a hookup.

depends on the pics. If firm abs and nicely sculpted then yes sure do show it. It says a lot about discipline and perseverence. I know how hard it is to maintain flat abs in this age! If however, Abs are flab I say next! people dont need to see that right off the bat.

Narcissist. Same with the middle-aged guys I'm trying to date that make their entire profile about how fit they are and how many times they go to the gym. Com'on, that's great, but we're middle-aged! Haven't you done anything else in life? Get over yourself and have some depth!! I'm sure I'll be snoring at dinner glimpsing your gold chains and listening to you discuss your work on your biceps. dull...

"Hellooooo.....my name is Rico, Rico Suave...and I am here to make all of your sexual fantasies and desires come true..."

LOL

I HATE pics like that, because I know that a guy who works out that hard will NOT like me for anything more than a quick romp in the sack...

I've seen a few that were on the tasteful side...i.e. he's at the beach with friends or engaged in some sort of activity that would warrant a shirt off, but it depends. Is he greased up and flexing? Ugh.

As a rule, no. Most of the time, I find shirtless photos pretty revolting even if the subject is very attractive. If a shirtless pic is used as a primary photo, I'd definitely "next".

Yeah, for me, this is STILL a big fat no.
