The answer to this is simple: If the person looks good shirtless, it's ok. If they don't, then it isn't. The same thing goes with women who wear revealing clothes.
I think you are not qualified to answer this question. It is not okay.

there is really only one rule about shirtless photos ....its okay if you are Fabio. I don't mean someone that looks like Fabio. I mean, you ARE Fabio. So, you are okay.

As for pantsless, again, its okay if you are Fabio, and maybe wearing a kilt instead, or a loincloth or something. Obviously.

LOL CP30, you are my new girl crush! Although Fabio's probably a little long in the tooth these days...

The shirtless thing...just a little too raw for most. However, my gay friends just love it! I guess it just depends on who you really want to attract.

This is just personal taste, it’s neither good nor bad.

If a guy looks like a Calvin Klein's underwear model, I wouldn't mind at all But that in itself will not make me decide whether I want to date him.

I am surprised EH would even allow a shirtless photo, even if it is a beach shot. I think if a guy is in really good shape (an actual bodybuilder), it would be frowned upon (people may ask, well who do you think you are?), but if it is just a guy hanging out at a backyard party and has his photo taken, it would not be a big deal. Who knows.

Shirtless seems a bit desperate to me. You can show off a well-toned body in a well-fitting shirt.

As photo choices go, though, it's not the worst. Today's batch included a guy with 7 photos, three of which showed him drinking beer with his buddies, all of them obviously in rather high spirits.

The WORST is the guy who needs to pose next to an expensive vehicle of some sort. Am I to assume it's his? And, if so, am I to assume it makes him a better person?

Personally I don't want to see any guys in shirtless photos just like I would never post a picture of me in a bikini no matter how good I looked in it.

Goldengirl, I know how you feel ... and I agree that a shirtless photo is not something we need to see on an internet dating site. However - I would probably not rule this guy out yet. Just make a mental note of the fact that he might be "too into himself" and look for more information to tip the scales - one way or the other - if and when you actually meet him in person. Hope that helps, Jleen
