gentlemen, even if you are built like a god, please leave your shirts on in your profile pics if you are greasy (or sun-tan-oiled) and don't do the muscle man pose it looks RIDICULOUS.
Thank you thank you very much Elvis has left the building. | |

Firstly I am not built like a god and only select few get to see what bounty awaits under my clothes.
However you might wish to consider that you are not the only fishie in this pond and maybe, just maybe, there are some fishies who have preferences different from yours... they do want to view and even drool over some guy's six-pack torso.
The bait that some men use in hopes of catching a fishie will be successful in catching the kind of fishie they wish to catch, and maybe you are a different kind of fishie.
To each his (or her) own.
Tight lines.

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/18/2008 12:20:31 PM | agreed OR,... just like some people like it when some women bare almost everything in their pics. Depends upon what one is trying to catch which lure one chooses. ( that's my fishing lingo heheheheh) Nice thing is the pics are small and you don't have to open them if you aren't interested,..... right OP???? I am thinking that a few people might not like all the pics you have in your profile either... groups pics annoy some..., which one are you in the forces group shot?, non-facial pics , looking for long term but have a pic of a man who appears to be (OMG!) shirtless in YOUR profile. etc.... be ready for the backlash. People who live in glass houses.............

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/18/2008 12:26:43 PM | Why aren't you picking on the guys with pics of their greasy hair?
If we picked on everyone for things like this, there would be no pics up. PERIOD
The old, don't like it...don't look thing applies in POF land.
POF Land... where all your dreams will come true....

| may I just say one humble thing? a while ago I responded to.. Posted: 7/18/2008 12:42:02 PM | this posting below with the following (below it)
A Must Read Guide For Online Dating In Vancouver Posted: 4/15/2008 2 26 AM Here it is ladies, a few tips that we men would like to pass along: 1. Don’t post pictures of yourself with your previous boyfriends groping you. Its a turn off and its common sense. We don’t want to know who you slept with last week. Figure it out. 2. Listing your body type as "average" means you are "average". It does not mean you are obese but want to be average. You're not fooling us, especially when you post pictures of yourself with your previous boyfriends. We can see that you're "a few extra pounds" and that you're lying about it. Please disclose this properly. 3. Kickboxing is for men. If you are a women and trying to pick up a man, listing kickboxing as one of your interests isn’t going to work. Its not a turn on even though everyone and their dog claims to be a kick boxer these days. Take up cooking instead. 4. Don’t own 7 dogs. Speaking of dogs, owning them is not helping your case. We men do not want to walk your dogs on a first date. Picking up poop in a zip lock bag is not a good idea for a first date. And by the way, you smell like your dogs too. Bad idea all around. 5. We don’t want to see pictures of your lower back tattoo. Its unoriginal and its already starting to droop. Every bar star has one. If we wanted a woman with tattoos all over her we'd speed date during visiting hours at the local women’s correctional facility. If you have one, don’t put it on your profile. 6. We don’t want to make you laugh! Didn’t you notice that the last 7000 profiles are all asking for a man who can make her laugh? Who do you think we are, comedians? You don’t see us listing things like vacuuming and being obedient do you? No! That’s because we're realistic not idealistic. We're not looking at your profile as a potential person to review our jokes. We want to have sex with you. That doesn’t involve reviewing comedic material. 7. Getting multiple messages does not make you attractive. Listen ladies, we need to fill you in on how this whole thing works. We open maybe 50 profiles a night. We don’t read them. We barely look at your picture. What we see is a female and way to attempt to contact her. Thus, when we look at 50 profiles we send 50 messages. Just because you're getting a bunch of messages, don’t think you've turned into an 8 from a 5. You're still a 5. We're just horny. 8. If you don’t have a full set of teeth, please disclose this on your profile! We don’t want to discover this AFTER initiating contact with you. Jaws was a good movie, but none of us want to live it. Visit the dentist before you date online! 9. Look, if you're looking for Mr. Perfect why the *#&$ are you on a free dating website? We're not perfect. Try your local church if you're looking for Mr. goodie two shoes. We only messaged you because you were one of the 50 profiles we quickly scanned over while sitting on the can using our wireless Internet. 10. Admit to yourself why you are online. We don’t want to read all the excuses about why you are trying online dating. It’s ok to be a loser. Cut the crap and come to terms with yourself. You're not a 10. You're a 6 and you need the Internet to help you get a date. We never said we were any better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response to "must read for online dating in Vancouver" by Willsfriend Posted: 7/12/2008 12 14 AM 1. post pictures with whoever you want in them - it's your profile 2. listing body type as average? didn't know this was the Sears catalogue, excuse me 3. kickboxing is for whoever wants to do it. this is a free country 4. own as many dogs as you like, and train them to tear the throat out of hairnets 5. who cares what you want to see? go on to the next one if you don't like it 6. you don't want to make us laugh? i'm laughing right now AT YOU - shoot me 7. getting multiple messages? i guess you don't - maybe it's the PERSONALITY FACTOR 8. missing teeth? disclose? are we buying horses here? or slaves off the auction block? feck off 9. if you're not perfect, then don't expect US TO BE, jagoff 10. Admit to ourselves why we're online? Why are YOU online? nya nya nya. Are you a "10"? no, just an ***hole thanks for coming by...mr personality ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- may I say that the posting that I responded to was extremely insulting and inflammatory towards women and my simple little question is generating a heck of alot more excitement (already people are leaping forward to delete this thread) and I'm sorry - but I find that hypocritical and one-sided in the extreme. Is there anyone - I mean, ANYONE, would agrees with me?
I'm NOT a man basher - I LIKE men but whoever wrote that "guide for women on-line dating" sure didn't and there was a helluva lot more insulting stuff on that than my simple request for men to cover greasy torsoes.
I know my thread will probably be deleted and I just felt the need to point out this GLARING fact beforehand. Thank you. Humble and devoted POF member Willsfriend | |

| response to "Steed" Posted: 7/18/2008 1:44:02 PM | Steed 1978 Either a really good fake account or her husband/boyfriend/room mate is a 'lil jealous. Response: This is my account, Steed. Steed? You must have some pretty incredible stuff to earn THAT handle (lol) Name a place and a time and I will arrive to show you that I actually exist and we'll put an end to the fake account thing, OK? thanks so much for coming out. - suzanne (willsfriend) | |

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/18/2008 1:44:59 PM | i have less issue with the oiled up hardbody pics than i do with guys who put up pics of their cars, motorcycles and other expensive toys to impress but have absolutely nothing of any substance to say in their profiles...conpensating much? at least the hotties showing off their bodies are just showing off themselves rather than their collection of toys and bling.
besides, i'll pause and enjoy the view when i stumble across a shirtless, toned, sexy man's pics. and why not? i mean they clearly like the attention, so who am i to deny them? *lol*  | |

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/18/2008 3:08:33 PM | I think when someone puts up pics, it invites the viewer to know a little more about their personality, which is good..! I myself prefer to be a little mysterious. If someone is interested in me by my profile, I will let them see my pics! To each his/her own.
Besides.. the pictures are so tiny, how can you tell if they are oiled or not without actually clicking on the image itself to enlarge them..?  | |

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/18/2008 5:17:48 PM | These type threads are certainly telling eh??
Those that complain about people in great shape usually aren't, not even close....... Those that complain about others showing off possessions, probably own nothing.....
Maybe the real suggestion here is to post..... Pics relevant to the activity, if you're on the beach, it's a beach type attire shot..... If you're off roading, then your 4x4 included in the pic is appropriete.....
We all see alot of tasteless classless pictures of blobs of cleavage and others posing in front of trucks in the attempt to attract someone but......... There's a percentage of mature singles that see right thru the feeble insecure attempt. .................. | |

I guess she is talking about people like me but selling yourself is like selling a car or anything else for that matter. Since there is no way of presenting your personality with a picture you do what you have to do. Do you hear guys here complaining about of shots of just cleavage on this site?
If you dont like it just click next.
Just my .02 cents | |

| may I just say one humble thing? a while ago I responded to.. Posted: 7/19/2008 2:34:38 PM | Who cares !!!!! They are both pretty funny. People on here take offence to everything it looks like ,lol. I dont go on the forums but just browsing on here, all a person reads is someone complaining about something. This site is stupid to try and find someone to get to know anyway. Most people on here list demands on there profile like they are a king or queen,lol. and if a person doesnt respond to an msg.......who cares !!!!!!! move on to someone else, or actually try going to the real world and meeting someone,lol. | |

if girls aren't allowed to post pictures of themself topless, I dont think men should. It's all about gender equality. There should be no barriers between what is acceptable, based upon your gender! Besides, who are we trying to protect? If you dont wanna look at em, then dont click on the persons profile. If you dont want your kids looking at boobs, then get your children outta the room before you start. | |

| what's with all the guys with no shirts and sweaty greasy torsos? Posted: 7/20/2008 8:09:25 AM | Seriously thinking about going to the local animal shelter and adpoting a stray pooch after reading all this complicated drivel about dating. I want a happy face to welcome me when I come home, an intelligent conversation where I won't get interupted all the time, an exercise buddy that won't complain, who doesn't leave the toilet seat up so I fall in during the night, will never complain about my cooking etc..... Cmon people this is a dating site, if you don't like the pics or the profile move on. Everyone has a different idea of what makes them attractive and they will catch the POF that has the same mentality as themselves. | |
