Shirtless selfies and the guys that take them....

These is an epidemic out there in the online dating world - shirtless selfies. It's about time to address this problem with an open letter to the men out there that are taking/might take these selfies.

Dear Guys,

Exercise is important to maintain good health and I'm pleased to see you taking it seriously. Not everyone can acquire a six pack even with a dedicated exercise/weight loss plan. That being said, I don't know that you realize what ladies think when you post shirtless mirror selfies on your dating profile. Here are a few:


  1. He is a douche bag.
  2. He is vain.
  3. He is a meat head that spends all of his time at the gym.
  4. He is overly concerned about appearances (and I may not stack up).
  5. He is only looking to hook up. (If that's the case, more power to you but just make that clear in your profile.)
  6. He has an ugly face (this is particularly for the headless, shirtless selfies).


Probably not what you are going for is it? Ladies will be thrilled to discover that you have a great physique and if you want to make it apparent in your photos there are more subtle ways to do it. For example, I went out with a guy that participated in these crazy exercise related competitions where you would do things like pull a massive monster truck style tire. In his photo he was wearing a form fitting workout shirt and pulling said tire. You couldn't see any of his actual chest but you could tell he was very much in shape. In a similar fashion, you can post photos of yourself wearing regular clothes that make it clear that you have an athletic build. Yes, we like to see that you are in shape but we like a little mystery too!

To sum up, show some class and don't be the guy with the shirtless selfies!

Today's post was inspired by the guy below. Not only is he a charmer (as indicated by his email below) but EVERY SINGLE photo was a shirtless selfie. Yuck and double yuck.
