| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/17/2005 11:13:35 PM | | yes i like what you say, ekko, but its concerning when so many are shallow that only perfect shaped bodies get voted in a top most popular list. THats why my photos not there, in the past i was just approached because of how I look rather than who I am. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 12:08:34 AM | What is more important ?? a guys chest or the rest of him. I won't put up a chest shot of myself as I don't really see the reason. Why show all your goods when you can make it a challange to her to find out. Fine if you work out at the gym 5 days a week and it's the only thing you have to offer a woman, but I like to think I have more than a set of pecks | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 6:02:04 AM | I think it's funny and certainly never gets a response from me. (Ok, except for this one particular person who should walk around with his shirt off ALL the time! ;-) you know who you are) | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 6:40:16 AM | | Whine and snivel!! There are a plethora of reasons why a man may put pics up shirtless... but if you dont like it just moooove along and dont cry about it!! Find it shallow? Thats your opinion.. take it and move on! Its funny, you can tell those who have low self esteem and/or are out of shape themselves just by evaluating what they write!! and this ****in about the top 500... like who gives a shit! What, youre offended cuz you dint make it? Whiners! If you dont have the genetics...to bad!!! Personally I put my pics up to let the ladies know I take damn good care of myself (and NO I dont go to the gym, lift friggin weights or even do any pushups or situps...) If I take care of myself this well, imagine how I will take care of you! and I love my tats which can only be seen without a shirt sorry...my tats have always been a great icebreaker... plus Im a serious martial artist and have trained my body HARD for the last 26 years... pics are proof of my testiment to physical fitness!! AND it explicitly implies that I am seeking one who can match me physically..its all about birds of a feather flockin together... so please all you pigeons stop hatin us eagles becuse we fly higher and stronger... now will all the betas please step aside, the alphas are coming through! chacun son gout! | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 3:14:24 PM | Hi Saiyan; Ease up a bit.......didn't the years of martial arts teach you to calm yourself down??? yes, you look good; I'm one of those that agree with shirtless pics; but it would be nice to see a face!! And besides; whats wrong with going to the gym??? My sensei does both(martial arts and weights) and guess what?? He was Vin Deisels' body double in Riddick............ Face it; people will always be jealous of others....and have opinions.........come on ... Which martial art(s) by the way?? | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 3:30:34 PM | Wow....I certainly wouldn't be interested in any man who had that kind of temper, regardless of his chest pic. Besides which, I don't denigrate martial artists and don't see why he should be so negative about bodybuilding.
edit: You sensei was Vin's body double? Where do I sign up for class? | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 4:09:09 PM | it makes you look like a shallow MIMBO!... even if you are not....

|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 4:20:02 PM | I do it to show body type in all honesty. The POF categories are so subjective--what is average to me might be athletic to you, or fat to somebody else. I am all about honesty. What you see is what you get. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 4:33:10 PM | | I have no problem with shirtless shots....as long as there is a FACE somewhere in the profile as well. Yes, it certainly provides a more accurate idea of body type!! | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/18/2005 7:40:13 PM | i put mine because i lost 40 pounds and im damn proud!!!!!
however,ill be the first to admit my abs need a little more work.got to watch them .  | |

|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 2:03:54 AM | you know do unto others as you would like them done unto you...  So any brave ladies out here? | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 5:37:54 AM | Hmmm.. I see my emphatic nature has been mistaken for anger!!!! hahahaha lol sorry if I sounded streamed, Im just very passionate and energetic in EVERYTHING I do... as is alluded to in my profile! I had just gotten an email about my nudity prior to finding this forum, and reading some of the other entries here prompted me to respond aggressively. Martial arts has taught me plenty... but my training acsends your garden book variety of martial arts. I... attack. Funny cuz its all there on my profile if you look deeply enough to find the "thread". Since this forum is about shirtless photos Ill keep to that topic... my martial arts resume (and yeah its rather extensive) can be linked thru my profile if you LOOK! Vin Diesels double... cool! My good friend Steve once went against Van Damm as a teen...smoked him in seconds. Steves currently the world heavyweight champ at full contact TKD.I was offered a job to bodyguard a WWE wrestler once... and one time I was offered $5000 wk/ cash to train some guys...but I had to turn it down... I just cant be working for The Big Red Machine, as much as I like them. So Im sure your sensei has his way of training.. I have mine. And maybe thats why I have shirtless photos up! That and the fact that my other "shirted" photos are on disk stored away!!lol and sorry if I sounded pissed... I just dont like snivlers. Im Canadian eh? We are a country where men can marry men. I think shirtless photos are the least of our concerns! Oops..did I just say something ...CONTROVERSIAL??? maybe the topic for another forum!!!
hee hee maybe Im just a shit disturber sometimes! lmao! anyhow as I said: chacun son gout: to each their own! And sorry if i sounded mad! | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 8:29:36 AM | saiyan--I don't know you, but... I think people with very high levels of aggression should not be admitted into martial arts programs...or be allowed to carry guns, for that matter. The world's dangerous enough already. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 8:35:55 AM | smith... save it for another forum ..and on a personal note... stick to what you know. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 9:10:42 AM | keep the shirts off. I like to look! If you want to show it! SHOW IT! If you don't! DON'T.
Look if you like, dont look if you dont like. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 9:15:50 AM | | wow! if all those other shirtless pics with harbody abs and pecs and muscle groups I couldnt find on me with a fine toothed comb are the height of advertising . . . then MY chest shot must be the Madison Avenue equivalent of SNL's Bass-O-Matic spoof. | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 9:23:43 AM | saiyan 1 You didn't answer my question........which martial arts??? My nephew was in a so called martial art......i won't mention the name.....it was more like stunt school.......they don't have to fight to get a black belt........some martial arts it takes 2 years to get a blackbelt.... BTW; I'm proud of my sensei; not just of how he looks (at 40),but his experience in different martial arts; an ex-Toronto cop;former body guard; bouncer; etc etc......he's the 'real thing' as for shirtless pics.....I'm definately not complaining!!!! | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 9:28:18 AM | smith 2267 You should learn more about martial arts; it's more than just fighting; thats where the 'art' comes in; i've seen people with a high level of aggression learn how to control it;learn discipline and respect; and be proud of themselves for being able to walk away from a fight. | |
|
| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 11:08:29 AM | Respects to your sensei... Im sure hes the real deal. And how did AGGRESSION enter the convo? Smith mentioned it first...I said nothing about aggression... being emphatic and passionate about something is totally different.. and martial arts training is ideal for aggressive people, probably the best way to teach them how to control and focus the energy. Like I said bud, stick to what you know. So chinua is right there as well. I didnt want to get into a huge discussion about martial arts in THIS FORUM, and I guess ones curiosity isnt strong enough to read my profile CAREFULLY to find the link to my homepage. And no I didnt study at a get-your-black belt quick school...my first belt took 10 years to aquire... my second took four (lots and lots of reasons there). In a nutshell: black in shotokan karate and TKD, and studied kali, escrima, jeet kune do, jujitsu, tae jitsu, judo, akijitsu, a few forms of kung fu, kendo AND iado, mauy thai, angola (thru capoiela), and 52 blocks... Ive spent time in dojos of ALL these diciplines (Im not just laundry listing here...my knowledge in each is real).... and I also took some tai chi chuan and ballet. and I walk away from more fights than I can even count... it was easy to do...until I attained a higher level that has ironically made it hard to walk away again. Life and its circles... Like I said Im all about attack (no Im not talking about harboring aggression) its just that I dont believe in "defense" or being defensive... never mind all the street fights and tournaments... Mushasi was the one who really opened my eyes.. and thats part of the problem here..I have been incorrectly identified. Im NOT a martial artist ( that was 2 "levels" ago) Im.. a martialist. big difference... | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 11:31:28 AM | | Well it's a hell of a lot better than stupid "here's a picture of my cat photos." lol | |

| male shirtless photos Posted: 10/19/2005 9:06:06 PM | | So many of us strive for looking and feeling the best we can ...and those who have actually done something about it, should be proud. I am all for showing your attributes as long as it is not in an offending manner. You are free to look or move on as much as people are free to decide what picture they want to post. Personally....I think there is nothing sexier than when someone looks great and/or is an achiever, but stays humble about it :). | |
