Very simply put, when guys post "shirtless pictures", it looks like they are desperate for attention. That, or they figure it will make them more appealing as a potential date or mate. (I even know females that prefer guys on the huskier side, and find muscles a turn off.)
I really do understand that some guys spend a lot of time in the gym and have put serious effort into sculpting their physiques; however, sometimes showing less is more. Women dig confidence, but going shirtless over the internet can inevitably have the opposite effect, reeking of insecurity and cockiness. It may look good (to some), but ultimately is not a good look~

What is it with women not liking shirtless pictures of guys? I mean what female made this so bad, that the rest of the females had to follow it? I mean what is it with this dislike for shirtless pictures? Like the guys that women meet with their shirts on treat them better? Is that it? What a guy is not suppose to be proud of his hard work? He is not suppose to be proud and let others see it? I would really like to know why most females think this is such a bad thing? I mean would you rather a guy meet you weighting 300lbs and not looking like his picture?? I just would like to here a good explanation to why guys shirtless pictures are so bad online?

Chuck Norris doesn't take half-nekkid selfies. Justin Bieber does.

Dating is about marketing your assets .. Whether physical or otherwise . If you have a gorgeous body and you don't mind the attention .. What is so wrong with that . If you prefer to keep your clothes on or lack the confidence to promote your sex appeal then you will likely attract like minded people .. Nothing wrong with that either . Sex appeal has many flavours .. You choose what you are personally comfortable with and is representative of your dating ideals. However ... There is no need to scorn or ridicule those who have a different mindset or approach.

haha I am off the market .. There is no point . Clearly you were not on mingle when I first joined . I landed up in mingle jail several times for flaunting clothed body shots .. Lmao ... They were nothing compared to some of the pics people currently post .. But they were deemed to be suggestive .. Of course that remains subject to individual interpretation .

Do you go to job interviews shirtless?

Do you take your shirt off before being introduced to strangers on the street, or at friends houses?

Do you strip before introducing yourself to new neighbors?

Unless you answer yes to all of those, and however many more similar situations, then you are full of it when you claim that it's just you being "proud" when you post the same as your profile picture for strangers on the internet.

There's something a bit comical about a guy stripping. The women that go to see male strippers may think that they're hunky but they're all laughing at them.

I guess a lot of them find it cheesy and think that guys that do that are posers. I wouldn't post pictures like that myself unless I was just advertising for sex. They don't need to see me with my shirt off to see how I'm built. If they want to see me take my clothes off that can maybe be aranged but they're only getting a private viewing.
