Posted: 11/28/2006 11:22:02 AM | | Are there any other gals out there that find a guy trying to show what he's got physically a turn off? Note to men...most of us women are more turned on by "the man" than his muscles. Wow me with your wit, charm, intelligence and caring personality. Please...no more muscle shots!!!! | |

Posted: 11/28/2006 1:44:56 PM | I messaged a guy once told him I liked that he had removed his ab shot and he thought I was insulting him. I typically won't message a guy that has a body shot because I feel like they are bragging about what they have. Now a "body shot" with Petrone... a whole different story.  | |

Posted: 11/28/2006 10:25:16 PM | I find it as offensive as girls showing off their boobs....please show me you have more to offer than just muscles such as intelligence. Plus really (this goes for guys and girls) do you want people to be interested in you just for your body?
Personally with me I want someone to like me for me the whole me not parts of me and if you don't then you are not worth my time and effort. | |

Muscle shots can prove confidence on the mans side, or it could prove insecurity in their own personality. Me on the other hand, I do it as a joke, cause I don’t have any, but show it off anyways. HAHA! | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 12:15:54 AM | | I have an idea, how abuot stop judging a guy SOLELY on his pic? I had a shirtless pic up onetime, just to show that i am confident with my flaws, and that i am real. Kind of like the commercial Jaime Lee Curtis did in her underwear, to show that not ALL Hollywood women are plastic. But i guess not all are interested in getting to know the guy, because they wont look past his pic. When I had my shittless pic up, i got nothing but insults. Not nice consrtuctive criticism, but outright insults. One woman even wrote me, after I took it down, just to thank me for taking it down. | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 12:44:45 AM | If more men worked as hard on their personalities, compassion, understanding and sincerity as they do their bodies, there wouldn't be as many women complaining about relationships. But hey, why point out the obvious?
Mind, body and Soul...it's not a myth guys. It's not a myth. | |

Posted: 11/29/2006 3:51:59 AM | Definately luv. a hot bod & I once had one but I didn't try to show it. Most men can notice a nice bod. even with closthes on! It's kinda hard to tell with a man so if, he want's to show I'm happy to see more but most men don't show that much.......Ever! Sad but true I'd like to see more of both! | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 3:25:02 PM | These women that complain about guys with topless photos on their profile have no business complaining, because if a guy likes to keep in shape, why not show it.
No different to say women showing themselves in nice clothes etc. Let the guys show what they want, it's their profile, plus every guy has a totally different physique to each other, so the women should be grateful that guys are willing to show their hard work and dedication in the gym or sports.
plus, the chances of meeting a lot of the guys on this site is very remote anyhow, and how can you show your personality with just a few lines of text,
Id say these women that have a problem with topless guys are insecure with their body, and can't do any better than finding a lazy couch potato guy with a big gut who watches TV all day. Leave the sexy, fit confident women who appreciate a guy who looks after himself to us, while you whingers can go back to your fat lazy fella sitting on the couch, wishing you were really with us instead.   | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 3:39:11 PM | i don't have too much of an opinion on it... but when i see abs and the like in a profile picture i don't think much about their personality because they're offering themselves physically moreso than mentally.
I feel good about my body type but I'm not going to post a picture of myself in a bikini because I don't want that kind of attention... and i don't want the people it would attract.
So yeah even if a guy is crazy fit... I'm never that impressed when all I see are abs staring at me when they msg me. | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:06:10 PM | | bill, that just goes to show that you can never please women. If you're in shape they say you're shallow, if you're fat they say they're not attracted to you, if you're skinny they want someone with more meat on their bones, if you're only 5 inches taller than they are, then you're too short, if you are funny then you're immature, if you act serious then you're not funny enough, if you drive a nice car you're superficial, if you drive a regular car then you're not ambitious enough. DO WOMEN EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT?????????? | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:06:38 PM | edit: sfv: hahaha - ain't it the truth. Just be yourself - some like us some don't screw the ones who don't - they are not worthy anyway, right?
I try not to complain about anything ... but sometimes do | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:25:26 PM | | Not really understanding what the complaint is about. A man without his shirt has been pretty well accepted for a lot longer than I've been on the planet. So, some flex. It's a dating site dear, you're going to see and read plenty of pectadillos, peculiarities, and simply differences. If (you) feel a certain type of photo is "telling" about a fella, why not be happy for the (your assumed) information and go about your business? Sigh. I don't understand recurring assumptions that all (of one gender or the other) are the same, or that all must fit in this little box or be marked as offensive to the masses. Nope, don't mind a man showing what's important to him or what he thinks gets his point across: don't mind his muscle, or sport, or ride, or humor, or opinion. It all says something and you know, I believe, that's idiosyncratic to him and not "every" guy. Think it's a huge mistake trying to homogenize presentation. All that stuff about arrogance or pretention or assumptions will all come out (if you bother to have conversation). | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:35:59 PM | | Not a complaint, just an observation. Just like her observation about guys who show off their muscles, or was that a complaint? | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:37:11 PM | permanent headphones, take your headphones off for a minute and listen,
it seems abs are the only part that bothers you, so I guess biceps, chest, shoulders, legs and back are still ok to show you | |

noticed in your profile that you will only meet guys 5 feet 11 inches or taller, how shallow is that,
I thought you cared more about personality than physical,
hyprocrit,
grow up little girl | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:52:20 PM | I say - If you're a guy with muscles, be the BEST guy with muscles around. We are who we are. All those other qualities that make us special surface soon enough.   | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 5:56:15 PM | Hikingfitguy- omg get over yourself!
I do care more about personality than looks... but I'm sure as hell going to be attracted to someone I'm romantic with. That's not h-y-p-o-c-r-i-t-i-c-a-l.... I have never pretended (on this thread nor any other) that I don't care about looks. I do care about looks... and if you read my history you'd know that I've said that physical attraction is key in any romantic relationship... but that also does NOT mean I want a guy who flaunts his physical appearance as if he's God's gift to women.
You want ME to grow up? How dare you attack me personally on this thread when I was merely answering the question that was asked and have not said anything unkind to you (that is until now). | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 6:12:26 PM | I don't know what the big deal is. People are on here to market themselves. Some do it with shirtless shots, some do it with boob shots. Unfortunately those are'nt shirtless.
Some do it with their new Harley, Hummer, or House.
Some do it with a drink in their hand and some do it with their beautiful hair waving in the gentle ocean breeze.
My attitude is if you don't like it, don't look.
Or look with one eye and then tell everyone how offensive it was. | |

what you say is valid, and I encourage you to stand your ground..there is nothing wrong with friendly debate.
-Those of you who are compelled to start belittling others, you may leave, if you have an oppinion to share, that is welcome, slamming others is not.
With that said, here is some irony- if you were to ask me what parts of a woman's body are the biggest turn on I'd put breasts at the top of the list .....Irony - Cleavage shots are one of t the biggest TURN OFFS for me on a dating site. Maybe it is the same processing which goes on with women when they see chiseled abs - and lots of skin.
I do not know why- yep- I always pass over the clearly intended tittie shot...rarely if ever I email who does this - I read the profile, this is what compels me to write.
Perhaps it is because those profiles with the "intended breast/ cleavage shot typically do not have much in their profile - tells me they are only out to get laid, those who respond are there to oblige, and well...I gusee there is something for everyone here. | |
