Doubt many men would complain | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/11/2006 11:41:37 PM | I admit that wasn't my attention initially. And I used to limit my 'expose' to only weekends. However, given the positive feedback, emails, and women making first contact (for a change)I think its worth being seen as a 'naked ape'. Is it necessary ... if it gets my ad read =Sure.
Women love beautiful men and vice versa ... since most POF women you will likely not meet, I see no harm. I mono-colour because it is more artistic and aesthetically pleasing. Besides
Women market in this way most everyday ... not all but most. And since I can't utilize makeup, nail polish, eye liner, lipstick, high heels, (except on special occassions LOL JK)etc. ... I consider it fair. Profiles are take time to interpret over several readings (depending on the author's proficiency) ... self-portraits appeal to the basic instinct (either "I want to know more" or just "no").
To a lesser degree, I'm also displaying my own photo-editing/graphic art hobby since since I wish to meet young women of the same ilk. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 12:19:50 AM | | I like to think that there's more to ppl than just thier looks and to me showing of is showing off, I dont want the ppl in my life to judge just on the way i look in a pic, we all have bad hair days lol. I'd rather some one picks me to talk to because they like what i have to say not what i look like. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 12:19:54 AM | I'm not sure? Can't a Guy Be confident with Himself without blasting chest shots all over the internet Kinda says to Me..come look at Me...which is good if Your a Woman..If Your A Guy Looking at it Just makes one cringe If I met a Woman I liked I would'nt be peeling My shirt off in front Her to get Her attention It boils down to the, Just look at me over here,Me Tarzan You Jane syndrome. I'm sure it is different for every one. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 3:15:53 AM | Oh god. When I was swimming in Australia in competitive training, I had to keep my clothes on. Women would want to take them off. So I never went shirtless, it was just too much hassle to much attention.
I'd reather just get along with life than getting bogged down with women who want my body, when I was 22 and now when I'm 43, it's the same. It's just genetics and years of heavy training.
Guys who pose shirtless are just idiots. I mean they are brain dead. Really. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 3:40:06 AM | | What the frig. There are tons of posts that blast people for concealing there body type and being deceptive about their shapes in their descriptions. Now you get blasted for being honest. To tell you the truth, it is a big effort for me to expose myself like this. On vacation, when I get up from the pool, the first thing I do is put on a T-Shirt (wise crack opportunity). I am very modest and insecure and it is a big effort for me to even wash the car in my own driveway without a shirt on because I don't want people staring at my gut. Now I put up a photo without a shirt on and I'm gonna get hammered for it. Hey, I know, let's make this a beauty pagaent where you have to wear evening attire, a swimsuit, perform a stupid trick, and ask a dumb question. Oh yeah great, that's what I want to see, dude's in speedos. That's a no-go no matter what your body-type is...done ranting. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:01:40 AM | swimmers have shitty smooth bodies no rips no cuts no solid muscle hacket , perkins,klim, thorpe all those guys have absolutely nothing
sounds like a lot of sour grapes in this thread | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:10:43 AM | Buddy I was a Triathlete.
Running in the outback. Biking for leg work. Lots of cutting up. Think before you speak.
You'll notice the above four sentences are in four word groupings. It's Beethoven's Fifth. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:11:43 AM | | so you were a weightless skinny ass ? with no muscle bulk | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:13:43 AM | No I'm mesomophic, I couldn't be either a weight lifter or a marathoner, that's why I did Trialthalons. I lifted weights and did all that when I got back in the States.
It was a career. Just put on a shirt. Girls can see what body you got even with a shirt on.
Pure swimmers have more body fat and are smoother when not flexing. Cyclists have no arms, they look like little Tyranosorus rex's (sp)
If you got a body, no matter how many clothes you stack on the girls are gonna come for you. | |

I was on one of Sydney's beaches one time and two really hot bikini girls came up and wanted a double team for lunchtime.
Aussie girls rock. Carefree and beach fun. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:19:00 AM | I agree with you fully on the Tyranosorus comment - in fact it was very humours it absolutely cracked me up - the analogy is great my best mate is a cyclist and thats what he looks like - i guess I have a new pet name for him now --- thank you for that
Disagree about the body statement and them comming after you though - maybe 20 years ago when you were here but since we are now 2nd only behind the USA in obesity rates - being in shape intimidates people these days | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:19:56 AM | | Your welcome to the aussie skanks as far as I am concerned - nothing but a country of lard ass land whales now when you look around | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:21:23 AM | It's good you work out. Might as well show it. You only live once and you live longer if you stay in shape like you do.
Yeah...get that biker nut. He'll never get over it. They can't gain on the arms because it slows them down.
Bikers are a bit psycho, they have to concentrate so hard and the margins are so narrow. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:23:32 AM | Yeah he is scared of bulking up - says will have too much weight to push around on the bike if he does - funny though he does so many hundreds of kilometers a week on the bike yet his body fat levels are double mine
Guess he shares the opinion that body builders know nothing about diet and fat loss and that we are not "true athletes" | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:24:18 AM | Those ckicks were pretty cool, it was way back in 1986 abouts. Just fun young stuff.
They just wanted to experiment. One was a really great blonde, I'll never forget her. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/12/2006 4:26:02 AM | You hit it, that's the whole thing. Long range bikers and endurance guys get their bodies all out of whack, it's not pretty. It's up an down. No moderation. It's bad.
Have a good work out. Another day in Smog city LA here. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/13/2006 12:02:42 PM | | There is a time and place to start showing some flesh and it is not on a dating profile. Unless your goal is share your flesh. Just trashy | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/13/2006 12:25:54 PM | | oh and low cut v neck blouses that show cleavage are stylish ? | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 1/13/2006 12:37:52 PM | lol...good call Buff
For me, I deeply appreciate the shirtless pics. It is awesome to see a man who puts in time and effort to be healthy and fit.
On the other hand, boobs are just fat...or else surgical enhancements. They don't demonstrate anything beyond genetics or a willingness to spend 6G. | |
