POF : What’s douchey.. And what’s not? Lol
I’d love to hear from women how they feel about guys picture choices. Like a guy without a shirt in one picture? Is that a hard gtfoh when you see it or?? Like a picture of me training in the gym with a solid 4 pack of abs, is that an immediate turn off or what’s your rules there? Would only be that one picture out of the max amount of pictures the app let’s you upload without paying for it.

Generally I find one shirtless picture to be okay. It’s showing exactly what you look like and honestly doesn’t bother me almost at all (except the ones like kissing your bicep or whatever. Those are dumb).
The problem comes when there’s MANY shirtless pictures, for a few reasons:
It seems like you’re looking for something purely physical and super shallow. Like, “Here’s the goods.”
It seems like your body is all you have to offer. Like you think your face and/or mind are subpar, but maybe a woman will over look that for your awesome abs.
It concerns me that maybe you don’t understand when it is and is not acceptable to have your shirt off. Like maybe we’ll be hanging out with friends or at a barbecue and suddenly you whip your shirt off.
Those are the reasons that jump to mind as far as shirtless pics go. Just as a side note, though, and I can’t speak for all women, I think the dead deer/fish pictures are the absolute douchiest thing you can do.
It depends on what you’re looking for. If just nsa hook ups, post what you want. BUT, if you contact women who are looking for something more serious, don’t be offended when they blow you off. If you are looking for something more long term, then post something clothed, but not laying in bed. But you really have to contact women interested in the same thing you are.
As a fellow gym rat I don’t think of gym photos as douchy per se. When I see that a guy goes to the gym I appreciate his dedication and all the hard work that goes into it. I find these qualities very attractive. Now, if only men responded that way to knowing I go to the gym. I don’t post photos like that at all but as soon as I mention the gym they just ask about my bum. Sigh.
I think you’d be fine with that photo among the rest, but I don’t know exactly what it looks like. I’m assuming you’re not feeling yourself up or something else we’d otherwise think is cheesy lol. Good luck!
Shirtless at the gym, not really a problem…shirtless in the car, weird.
