Topic: Put your shirt on! Is it just me or

Thu 09/24/09 04:07 PM




Is it just me or does it creep anyone else out when men have profile pics of themselves at the computer with no shirt on. Maybe its just the men in my age group.

I don't think of myself as a prude or uptight but it gives me the creeps. I guess to me it looks like some dirty old man breathing hot and heavy, whacking off looking at women online.

First impressions go a long way. Put a shirt on!

Just curious what others have to say. So lets hear it.


I haven't really studied the male version of this phenomenon, but I've noticed that when the girls do it (the raunchy cleavage shots, etc.), you can pretty much assume the rest of the profile will be either empty or bland enough to induce a narcoleptic coma. If ya got nothin' to say, distract them with what passes for pulchritude, maybe.


Lexy, maybe you shouldn't pummel them with those big words, like "narcoleptic", nor especially "pulchitrude", unless you post this...

You're probably right. I do get some feedback about this from people who seem to like using the word "intimidated" a lot. It's just that whenever I try to dumb it down, I have these really bad flashbacks of being married.



But that's what makes it fun! You could be insulting them and they're too stupid to even know it!:banana:

Shirts on is definitely the way forward, belly buttons freak me out :(

There was a woman on "Dr. Oz" the other day, asking why her belly-button accumulates these pus-like deposits, matted with hair and lint (...hope you're enjoying your lunch).
I think this babe DEFINITELY needs to exercise some modesty.ill

When I see Lead Shots or profile pictures that show a guy shirtless my first reaction is "Why".
I personally find the human body miraculous, perfect or imperfect as it might be, so it is not the visual image that bugs me. Some situations it is normal and acceptable; swimming, on the beach, shirts and skins basketball. If a person is a avid swimmer I would expect one shot of the person doing that.

But I still keep in mind that a profile picture is a choice. How a person sees themself. What they bring to the table so to speak. If their perfect or youthful body is high on that list it won't be a big attraction to me. You can look at the body about five minutes a day and if the personality isn't behind it to back it up it gets old fast. Also a guy with a really great body may or may not have a natural sexuality about himself that no matter how techniclly perfect he is it just isn't appealing.

The real stickler for me is that I do see topless nudity in men leans toward coming off as desperate or even aggressive. It is like if you don't like that I am semi-nude you have no say that I share my body any way with anyone I please. Includeing me. It is like nothing is reserved for personal intimacy. That seems kind of short sighted. It might be an out of vogue concept but there are a few things that I would hope are reserved just for intimacy; maybe even intimacy with me.

I disagree that men, or women, are not displaying sexual organs by bareing their chest. While I can not claim a huge number of men; the men I have had intimately definitely had a decided sexual response when their chest, inparticularly, their nipples were displayed, touched, and otherwise engaged. Be realistic the purpose of a profile shot is to engage the reader on many levels. And I have to say seeing a man displaying himself semi-nude comes off as over the top, distracting, and rude in the profile setting even though I know for some it is not the intended result.

That some men would be sexually distracting in a feed bag from the neck down is no more their fault than the guy who definitely not but somehow I feel like a little less making themself eyecandy, is more confident and in better taste.

Some men would not be highly sexy no matter what they wore. To display that fact is a not so subtle form of "I haven't got it but you have to look because I can make you and if this is the only time and the only way well too bad for you."

I do wish the site would require some form of top for men for the lead shot because to participate in forums you are not able to opt out and not look like you are if you see it on there personal profile but if I find someone that offensive I just block them. To me it would just be a polite occomodation to the larger range of tastes.

I do find it offensive that men useing photos that show their upper body nude are attacked as "perverts" when no such fact has been proved is a poor conclusion. A conclusion that the real perverts use to their advantage. And a conclusion that trys to justify that ones own mores are the only moral ones. Pretty high handed IMHO.
