Have you spoken to any guys who've done the topless thing and not gotten one single response? Honestly?
I'll add the caveat that I'm taking it as a given they were in good shape.
No but plenty of women have complained about it on this and POF. It's obvious that women don't want to see dic pics. Men on the other hand probably wouldn't mind seen a few tit pics.

Speak for yourself
Aren't there enough photos of ample cleavage all over the web without feel the ned to see them on a dating site ? 0 -

Well who's going to object? There's plenty of photos of women in bikini's on the web too, but as we've just found out... many men like to see them on a dating site too.0 -
A a guy of 50+, my personal contribution to the discussion on profile photos is that I NEVER cease to be amazed at the pure cringeworthy awfulness of some of the photos that ladies put up on their profile. Ladies being in the bracket 39 - 53 or so. I sometimes (strike that, regularly..) look aghast at profile photos taken at drunken parties and weddings, with flushed distorted faces, dress malfunctions and at smiling burnt faces on holidays wearing clothing that makes them look .... well .... let's say less than alluring
And these are not rare ! Do women not 'think' before they put them up ? Now and again a profile leaps off the page where the lady has actually gone to some trouble to show themselves at their best. That speaks volumes about their character and self respect to me.0 -

Yeah I agree there are a lot of terrible photos on dating sites, but a lot of that is down to the photographer. People get drunk at parties. People get burnt faces on holiday. What would you rather see? Professional photos done in a studio? Some people just can't take a decent photo.0 -

This is what I have been wondering about guys profile pics!!! Ok apart from the dodgy ones, a lot of guys don't do themselves any favours with the pics they put up. Obviously a lot of people go out and get hammered, but is that how you want to represent yourself to a prospective date?!!!0 -
I know the only recent pics I had were from my mum's birthday party in May. Apart from that I think it's a couple years, so I didn't have much choice if wanted to show what I look like. Though I don't think I've changed much in the past 10 years.
But, yeah, I know some people want to show how they enjoy "having the craic" but at 30+ years of age you might also want to show you can be sensible as well. So a main photo of being sober(or in a bikini if you prefer.), then the rest can be whatever you want 0 -

I'd say a lot of people find it hard to find photos of themselves where copious amounts of alcohol have not been involved and settle for them. That said, the question that pops into my head when I see such a profile is, "Have they nothing else?". I mean, I like to get buckled the odd time like most people, but it's not the be all and end all of my life.
actually, come to think of it I don't mention alcohol once in my profile and am sober in all of my photos. Maybe that's why nobody messages me these days? They probably think I'm a dry shyte

I are a happy panda, can't wait to see her again.

Hey!
Can I ask, how do you reject someone without sounding like a horrible person and without them turning into one.
Everytime I try I either get the creepy "aw come on" or something along the lines of "stop being a stuck up b*itch, do you think your good looking or something?"
I don't like not replying to people...but I'm beginning to think it's not worth it.0 -
