Should guys also put in pictures of themselves showing muscle and chests and biceps?
I think the last time I checked, there is a very loud and determined group of women here who rather not see that.

Yes,I remember that as well...although I think they are smexy ,but then again,I am an oddity.

Don't mind seeing them either.
They just don't make a difference :-)

i'm on the fence here. While i love looking at it, because physically it's a turn on, i'd rather find someone who doesn't show it all in the fact of knowing if i got to see, it'd be special, just for me. And not every woman got to drool over him. It also shows to me that the guy can be vein, but on the other hand just comfortable with themselves. So it's hard to decide.

As long as they aren't showing little willy or woo haas or anything like that...I don't care.

IMO pictures on here are part of the advertising of yourself. I have no problem with cleavage shots or shirtless men. If you got it (and want to) flaunt it.

The only problem I have is when they post those kind of pictures and wonder why they get the emails they get

I don't write back to guys who aren't wearing shirts in their pictures.
I wouldn't like to talk to a stranger in person if he wasn't wearing a shirt either.
just awkward.
put clothes on.

ha ha best answer ever. You rule.

i truly don't understand the big deal about a guy not wearing his shirt in a pic on here,hell he could post a pic of a demon which would be worse

yay.
:D
do I win anything?

I second you lizziebee, clothes on in a public forum just as in public.


And what about the not so buff guys mowing their lawns etc etc shirtless with bellies over flowing? Do they think we want to see that or are they just comfortable with their bodies!!??

I'm agreeing with the advertising comment... Isn't it just one way of putting your good foot forward? Sorry to say, but the vast majority have some part of them that look at how a person looks first.. Not that I'm saying that's okay, cause I'm not, but it's simply true that many many people want to know what a person looks like before talking to them. I used to have a friend on here that never put his picture up for everyone to see, and he had very few friends, and very few people who would even answer his messages, and a couple even said they wouldn't talk to someone who didn't have a picture up. I know that's shallow, and I'm glad some people aren't like that, but the point is, we all want to know who we're talking to, and seeing a man without a shirt, or a girl with some cleavage shouldn't be that big of a deal. We're all trying to make a good first impression, whether that means showing off our assets or not.

I guess it would depend on if they are muscular and defined or very fat and have man boobs.

GREAT ANSWER!!!

I see nothing wrong with it, if its in their other pics. But not necessarily as their main. Sometimes those pics just make you look like an attention whore.
But I agree its not really an issue, just another view of the person. AND a sneak preview of what there is.

I prefer shirts on!
The bathroom mirror, self taken chest/ab shots are just tacky to me

If it's a pic taken at the beach or pool...then obviously no shirt necessary! Those I wouldn't see as tacky, but most are the above mentioned type.

I don't really care...
everyone can do whatever they want,
were what they want
and be who they want.

I don't think 'first impressions'
by a photo on this or any other
site are really fair.

Some people would really run most of the popular magazines to the ground, if they were the editors. Civilization is way overrated just hypocricy is pouring out of many people. It must have to do with pre-judging and criticizing others while forgetting to judge themselves and look into the mirror first.
People don't realize, that when they are criticizing others, they are also setting limits to themselves, and later surprised about the cage they have created for themselves.

oh...nevermind me..I'm just thinking out loud... Philosophic rant.

I don't really care whether or not some guy is wearing his shirt or not. The flexing their biceps pictures are funny, but don't do anything for me.

Looking to nature we can see that many species of animals tend to have colorful males competing with displays for the females of the species.

i find pics have very little to do with anything really. post what you want and then discover each other.

This.
