I can guarantee you the OP drools over guys shirtless pics, as long as theyre her type.
But there's a pretty big difference between thinking "whoa, that guy has a nice body," and "that's a guy I want to go out with on a date." No one is saying that women aren't attracted to good looking men, it's whether a guy who posts a shirtless vanity shot in his online dating profile is the kind of guy she wants to go out with. For some women it's "yes," and for others it's "hell no."

...off to google High-5!

Ok...done googling and I'm confused (and old), what's High-5???
I remember those as my older cousins would talk about them while I was like “Huh?” I was introduced to social media about 3 years ago.

See, thing is many women may think all men want to see them doing slutty poses and what not, nope, just like men flexing muscles without their shirts may think that is what all women want to see. There are many ways a woman can look attractive without doing those same old over-used poses. Yes, I prefer a more decent picture. My ex had was pretty big up there (natural, not implants) and yet never found it necessary to have pictures taken of her popping her boobs out of her shirt or even wear clothes showing cleavage. I found that quite nice and that’s what I prefer in a woman. So yes, I prefer other kinds of pictures.

Fair enough. But some guys do prefer the sl*tty look. Perhaps women are targeting those guys.

I'm with these two fine gentleman (Ducky and onihC). The sort of pose where the lady is reading, walking, riding or in fact showing that she can do things other than photograph her cleavage and pout in the mirror would, without a doubt, attract my attention on a dating site.

I don't doubt that some men do, maybe that's the kind of men that women adopting those poses are after and those doing different poses are after another type of man.

I ain't dead.

But you can tell if a guy has a good body or not just by a regular photo. If he thinks I need to see every ridge and shadow to be into him, well, we're on different wavelengths. I half wonder if they're not trying to distract you from their personality defects at that point.

The only reason I have shirtless photos of myself, is that I made a p90x results collage, in order to inspire others. Since I got an amazing response from the ladies, i decided to use it to my advantage and use it on POF as one of my other pics. With that in mind, should I not use it and put myself at a disadvantage?

Yes. Just like men who flex are trying to attract the women who like that. Everyone wants someone who likes them.

Are you otherwise hideously ugly with a horrific personality?

Just sayin'.

Sorry, what is the "Duck Face"? Is it the pouty lip thing?
