Just like a girl in a bikini, doesn't bother me at all, it's great if she's hot. But I've had girls write stupid things like, "Oh any guy who poses shirtless must be an idiot with nothing interesting to say." Yeah or a guy who graduated with a philosophy degree at the top of his class, published two books, and has run multiple businesses. Riiiight whatever. I get sick of that crap, like you can't take great care of yourself and also be smart and successful too. What stupid nonsense.

I think it's best to post 3 pictures that give someone an idea of what you really look like. The perfect profile for me, looking for girls, is when she has a face shot only, so I can see her face clearly, another that's more of a half-up view normal clothing let's say. And a full body shot in a bikini or something revealing, so I can tell that she's not fat. That's ideal.

Men who think they are handsome turn me off. I am a 9.4 on hotornot and have my pick when I register somewhere like yahoo. So if you are not a s*ut, or totally self-centered, and you really want to meet someone who will appreciate you being hot, then honestly, drop the pose. You can be subtle at least, I don't make a "don't click" decision just because someone is bare chested, it is all about the context. Posing for the camera is a context that does not work for me and evidently doesn't work for alot of other women. Just my .02.

I disagree with this. I think most people find group shots irritating and don't want to have to guess which one is you.

FWIW, I liked 2 and 4 the best.

Looks like you and I agree on both counts above.

You should repost as a poll. Number your shots though so you can refer to them in your poll. I'd also break it down for ex.:
1. Looking for casual sex, prefer photo 3.
2. Looking for casual sex, prefer photo 2.
3. Looking for LTR, prefer photo 3.
4. Looking for LTR, prefer photo 2.

Obviously, you will need to have fewer pics to choose from.

lol what is LTR?

I'd use the 4th and 5th. You sure don't want to look weird, unless that is what you are trying to attract. And the shot with your body looks like you are showing off....

I wouldn't put too much thought into it. Just pick one and go with it.

People put too much emphasis on pictures. There are many people who look far worse in their pictures that in RL, and vice-versa.

A picture can give an idea, but it shouldn't be the end-all of things.
