it makes you look like a douche...
and maybe from a show or something but for example the one in your AVI is not all that impressive so I wouldn't post...cut the fat off.Compound Lifts dominate my training routine

if you think you're going to attract girls with a picture like that, you have a lot to learn young one. If there's one thing I can tell you about women, they tend to view insecurity as a huge turn-off (the biggest, in fact) and posting a pic like that on your site is going to come across as highly insecure (it may not be the case, but that's how it will appear). Also, women in general prefer a man's face to his body.
I've been on ******** for about 6 years or whenever the thing started, and there are thousands of pictures of me on there and the ones that women tend to like the most are face shots, not body shots.
I'd suggest taking a nice clear picture of your face with decent hair style and a nice disarming but confident smile. The only thing that the current avatar will get you if you post on ******** is a bunch of gay guys messaging you asking if they can try to fit your cock down their throat. I wish I was joking.

I think that the only reason to post a shirtless pic on ******** is to try and impress people or "show off your muscle." To be a show-offy douchebag. I think it's something we're all guilty of, at least to some extent. You worked for it, you want some appreciation.
That said, I've found that an easy way to post shirtless pics without coming off as a douche is to have them of you doing something you like/are passionate about/are good at -- as long as it's "semi acceptable" to do shirtless. Most sports fit just fine. There are plenty of pictures of me running shirtless and nobody says anything, because they're of me doing what I love first, and of me shirtless second. I've also found that it's "acceptable" to put up topless pictures if you're at the beach or any other setting where it's "ok" to take off your shirt.
yeah.

no I wasnt thinking of putting it on to get the girls lol. Some girls I know will I am getting a bit too big anyway lol. And I would put the version on with my face showing lol.
I have a picture from a powerlifting comp on there I did and no one mensioned that but I had clothes on lol. All my other pics are pics of me out with friends or at school with friends and stuff like that.
to whoever said about me being to fat lol yeah I was thinking it would be better when Im finished cutting and Im a bit leaner...
but the way tovlakas said it, it might just be asking for trouble... I was just interested who else did/does it

yeah I was thinking a better way would be to do be doing something, Iv seen a few guys get away with that before. One dude (must weigh 110-130 5'6 ot 5'7) has a pic of him shirtless playing tennis. Dude has had comments from girls saying "wow the gym must be making alot of money out of you!" WTF? lol
like i said i think putting up a posing pic would be asking for trouble and bad rep. your idea is good about getting me shirtless doing something. I go camping, walking and biking with one of my buddies every so often. I could get one then on a hot day, that would be cool.Last edited by EliteExtra; 07-02-2010 at 05:13 PM.

Haha only put up a topless pic if you're at the beach or at a pool party, and don't mind those skinny ass kids man, I know it's makes you RAGE (me too), but it's better to surprise chicks at a party or something and take your shirt off, then those kids will be mirin' your aesthetics brah

I do every now and then and people never seem to be negative.

This. If it's just a body shot, I have a photo album for that to mark my progress because a lot of people remember me as being really fat which is what I was.
But if it's a body and head shot I'll put it as my profile pic and everyone else can just suck my hairy ballsack.
Oh and about girls not liking it - whoever said that, well at least for me and other guys I've seen that's complete bull****. I don't get girls commenting left and right all oOO U SO SEKZY or w/e because I'm 18 and most of the girl I know are my age or older so they're not gonna do that, but they DEFINITELY think it, and you know chicks get interested when they touch you a lot.
I know some chicks may have gotten a certain impression from me because of the photos I have but as soon as they talk to me and get to know me, they usually really like me because not only am I really friendly/nice or w/e they see, but I also have a decent body.
I honestly think it can only help you OP, but w/e do what you want. I think the true insecurity is worrying about what other people think, like everyone here that says it'll make you look like a douche. Who ****ing cares.Last edited by MadeUnderground; 07-02-2010 at 07:21 PM.

touche, but to make up for it i moved to Orange County right after... same story down here
For everyone else arguing that girls like it and it's better than not posting them, when you're truly in good shape, you don't need half naked photos plastered all over for girls to notice. women like a challenge... that includes getting to see your assets.
Of course, to each their own but as the OP seems concerned with how it will appear to others, just keeping it real.Last edited by tovlakas; 07-02-2010 at 10:08 PM.
