I would just say that guys don't really need to post a shirtless photo to find a good woman.

I'm thinking ... my lawn really needs to be mowed!! Seriously, it's bout 6 inches tall! And my pool can do with some cleaning too

If a guy's main photo is shirtless and headless I think he is just looking for attention and/or sex. I will enjoy and appreciate the view and move on.

If there are other photos first and I happen to see his unclothed chest while viewing the rest of his profile; I think 'bonus' but it won't be the main reason for contacting him or not.

For the same reason, I don't feel cheated if a guy doesn't have a shirtless shot. I don't suddenly think "What's he hiding?"

I'd be a little miffed though if the rest of the world has seen my guys chest before I get to though.

:P

Exactly what I wanted to say! :)

Keeping my shirt on because I'm modest and don't have a six pack to show off.

Nips on a male...separate issue.

Here's another way of looking at it.

If he can't afford a shirt what makes me think he can afford to buy dinner.

Just a thought.

oooo I especially like the ones with no shirt
laying in bed
staring at ya with what I guess they hope comes across as bedroom eyes

What about a keg instead?

I have thought the same thing many times!

Thought about this thread some more and would add that the reaction to shirtless pics and what I believe is the keen desire by some who post them is to say, at least subliminally , is " you can't tell me how to act and your reaction is your problem I don't have to be modest about my body. But you do and that is how women made it more than men because we want to see what you seem to think needs covered up."

HOWEVER; the reality is the small margin of men who will date and actually marry a woman who on one side of the spectrum flashes her stuff and will tolerate about anything to the other who is so prissy and bossy she has to dictate everything to men is pretty small.

There is a time and a place for less coverage for both sexes and I think we tend to all have our preferences as to what that is.

I would not get real worked up about a guy tossing hay bales with his shirt off but in an air conditioned gym I don't see prancing around shirtless is necessary unless he is trying to do something besides exercise. Others have said they thought shirtless pics are kind of desperate and that is pretty often where my first impression is going to land. I feel kind of sorry for them like the gals that think flashing the cleavage shots are what they have to do to get noticed.

Maybe if I paid big bucks to a plastic surgeon for my "girls" and it wasn't just genetics then I would figure I have a right to have earned the look sees but it is kind of a deal if you are born with it or get it from working in that kind of job it just doesn't impress me that much. Sorry I am not going to be anymore excited about it when Ever I get to see it. lol

Sorry guys the male anatomy is never been what attracted me to men anyway. You can have the perfect/jewels and if you don't have anything between your ears it is sorry Pass go do not collect $200.
