What does it mean when a guy sends shirtless pics?

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

Let me tell you one thing: I HATE SHIRTLESS GUYS. I never search up shirtless guys and neither do I look them up. For some reason, shirtless guys disgust me. Once, my guy friend took off his shirt and I asked him not to, and to put his shirt back on.

My crush and I were talking, and then I asked him if he was buff or fit (he's in the army). He said he is with 😉 and asked if I wanted him to send him shirtless pics. I said "no". What does it mean?

There is not much hidden meaning!
They just want to show you them hgalf naked.

Maybe they want a compliment or attention.
Somtimes I think it is just what they think they should do.

Like tinder and pof, so many with their shirt off, like they think that every man should have a shirtless pic. I actually think it's a turn off and imodest but hey ho!

They guy you are talking to... you asked him if he is buff !!!
That is why he asked if you wanted to see lol
You were enquiring so he probably thought you wanted to see him half naked.
I wonder if you didn't ask maybe he wouldn't have offered or ever done it!

[Girly1710]

Let me know if you find out cuz this guy sent me a bunch and then suddenly stopped talking to me. This was after like months. Was I supposed to send them back or what? Because I didn't. I just complimented him and moved on. Whatever.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

If I was a guy, I'd never send shirtless pics to anyone. And I hate guys in the streets that run around shirtless. It is disgusting.

[PippiL]

Probably that he's proud of his body.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I hate guys walking around in the streets shirtless. Clothes are made for a reason. It's disgusting.

[PippiL]

Well, yeah. But if you offered to send him a picture of you in a bra or something and he said "no" it would probably hurt your feelings.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

He just answered with a "just kidding". What does this mean? Yeah, but I'd never send any pics in my bikini anyway.

[PippiL]

He wasn't kidding. He said that because you reacted negatively.
Even if you wouldn't, can you see why that would hurt his feelings? I'm no advocate for shirtless pictures, but you could have handled it a bit better.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

If you were me, what would you have said? I'm so bad with guys, lol.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

We'll, if I offered to send a girl or a guy a bikini pic and they said no, and only no, I'd be scared. I might think they don't want me or something.

[PippiL]

Exactly.

[PippiL]

It probably would have been better to spare his feelings. I would have said yes. You don't even have to look at the picture, haha. Then just say "nice" or "looking good."

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

Well I don't know. He has been a bit more distant after I said "No." though. I am not interested in looking at his shirtless selfies and he might want something back. It might even go down the sexual pathway. What can I do to make it up to him? I think he does want to show off his hard work. He's in the army. He worked for his figure and he has to be fit.

[PippiL]

Sometimes it's nicer to pretend to be interested in something to spare someone's feelings. And if he did ask you for something in return, you could simply explain that you're not comfortable with sending nudes. He'd understand.

[Socialrealist]

Just like the many girls on here who posts selfies of themselves asking people how they look, shirtless guys do it because they want the affirmation and attention that they couldn't get in real life.

[nohomobrah]

Girls only like shirtless guys when they look like me. Plus Army is for pussies.
cf.girlsaskguys.com/.../...5-9ba3-3b94e02d42b0.jpg Army = ain't Ready for Marines Yet.. Kill.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

But I'm pretty sure the army requires a degree of fitness. I tried to get in the Air Force and still trying. I need to go to the gym at least 4 times a week.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

To be honest, bro, that's too much. The photo didn't even intrigue me, arouse me or anything. If I saw something like this on FB, I wouldn't give it a second glance *yawn*. Next.

[nohomobrah]

Not really so many fat soldiers out there liol. Not too many fat marines. You're entitled to think what you want I only go for girls that are obviously attracted to it so I don't waste my time. It's kind of strange how you really don't like guys without their shirts though. Watching you in the comment section of these other opinions make it sound like you have a weird mental disorder lol. Most girls get excited with a muscular athletic guy takes off their shirt. Maybe you are gay?

[TheBraveLion]

Are you in the Marines man?

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion I was.

[TheBraveLion]

Why not anymore? at 19 though?

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion I'm 22 brah.

[TheBraveLion]

lol thought so, why aren't you still in the Marines?

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion Marine Corps contracts are 4 years anyways. Unless you go airwing then it's 5. I'm happy as a college student man..

[TheBraveLion]

ooh I see! Yah I'm considering joining the Royal Air force, I think it's a 7 year contract but they pay for Uni too.

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion Join the royal marines man. I've worked with them they are baadass.

[TheBraveLion]

considering that too, I'm studying for the grades you need to join in England, I like the stuff they do as an elite force too. But the thought of flying jets man..

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion Yeah either route is fcking badass dude. Respect to you for serving your country. Most 18 year olds are self entitled pussy hipsters. Commend you for doing that.

[TheBraveLion]

yeah so true, the commandos though! You too man. All these "world peace the army is silly" idiots don't know anything, never going to happen ya church fggts.

[nohomobrah]

@TheBraveLion oraah from us brah kill

[TheBraveLion]

Haha. Did you enjoy the Marines?

[nohomobrah]

Definitely man. Good experience.. Learn a lot about yourself but it really has a lot of downfalls you have to go through a lot of bullshit.. deal with a lot of stupid people.. a lot of politics. Definitely wouldn't make a career out of it

[TheBraveLion]

Yeah that's the main reason why want to go too, go through something tough and for experience, but I can imagine dealing with the retards as well

[Anonymous]

Why do you hate shirtless guys? I agree you will hate shirtless if he was hairy, but if he is ripped miscualr and not hairy then what's wrong or bad in it?
Don't you like shirtless man during love making?

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I never... Anyway, he might ask for shirtless pics from me in return. If things so come naturally, then we will. I won't be afraid by then because if I am willing to make love to him, I will already be in love with him.

[Opinion Owner]

No way, a normal decent guy will NEVER ask for shirtless pics from a girl in return. Come on. seriously.
Bit you said you dislike seeing guys shirtless, that made me wonder why!
Waxed smooth well built chests are fine I guess, I can understand of you hate looking at hairy shirtless men though.

[Jon_Gre_g]

Ouch... As a bro who lifts I can say I am offended.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

You guys have to stop thinking you are god's gift and walk around without a shirt on. Don't you know etiquette? It is disgusting and I hate it. Clothes are made for a reason.

[Jon_Gre_g]

You know in certain countries in the world like Nigeria men are expected to walk around shirtless. I don't know why you frontin. You obviously like shirtless guys but are denying it. So obvious troll.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

Excuse me. I'm not a troll. Stop assuming every woman would now down to you just because you have stupid abs.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

*bow

[Jon_Gre_g]

Who says I'm 'sumin? A man has a nice bod he should show it off. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. But why you mad though?

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I'm not. I just don't think shirtless pics fit with me
I've disqualify if I'd some guys off dating sites because of their shirtless pics. By the way, he said "just kidding" afterwards. What does it mean? If someone send me shirtless pics, I can't help but think he only wants sex from me.

[Jon_Gre_g]

Well he might just be flirting and you kinda asked him what he looked like muscle wise so yeah.. Any guy would do that. As for why he said just kidding it was probably because you said no and to hide his embarrassment a bit.

[nohomobrah]

"As a bro who lifts I can say I am offended." Yeah bro.. You don't lift.

s10.postimg.org/.../...016_02_12_at_8_59_10_PM.png

[Jon_Gre_g]

@nohomobrah And you would know that how? I actually do lift and doesn't really have anything to do with you does it? Unless trying to insult me makes you feel better about yourself? If so go ahead don't really care.

[nohomobrah]

U look like you weigh 100 lbs

[Jon_Gre_g]

@nohomobrah yeah I have a small frame so can't be helped. I honestly don't want to get into an argument with you so... What's your goal here?

[nohomobrah]

No goal.. Just calling you out. You clearly don't lift lolol. Small frame you look like a toothpick.

[Jon_Gre_g]

@nohomobrah Lol okay bro. I do lift. Again insulting me accomplishes what?

[nohomobrah]

Well don't call yourself a lifter lol. Makes us look bad

[Jon_Gre_g]

@nohomobrah lol okay dude. I've been going to the gym for more than a year. You act like it's so hard to believe for somebody to lift? Maybe your just shy and insecure so you think it's fun to irritate people online. Get a life dude. Blocked.

[Takyon]

Is anyone telling girls to hide their boobs? No... The only reason women can't walk shirtless is because it is too arousing for ALL OF STRAIGHT MEN.

[rgb008]

You asked if he was muscular. He wanted to show you.
How are you gonna see muscles clearly with a shirt on?

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

If he asked if I was slim, do I take off all my clothes except my underwear and by the way to show him? Nope. I would send a pic with clothes on to show him and give him an idea what my figure looks like.

[rgb008]

yeah but he probably wouldn't ask you that.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

in the least creepy way possible, i wanna see how you're gonna have sex cause usually that involves seeing the other person without a shirt

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

What if the girl said no to shirtless pics? I am starting to think I am lesbian or something. Shirtless women I can stare for ages, but guys. No.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

would you fuck a woman?

[Anonymous]

He could be flirting. But then he is just showing you because you asked. He just may be full of himself.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I think so. I asked if he was fit and he said yes. He's fit and asked if I wanted some shirtless pics. I said no. He then said "just kidding" what does it mean?

[Opinion Owner]

He may didn't think that was going to be your response to the question.. And tried to quickly make it as a joke. So you wouldn't make u uncomfortable

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

He's a nice guy. Last time I thought he was fake, and I started accusing him, he reacted calmly. And he was nice when I confronted him, not angry and all. He said he just wanted me to be comfortable with him. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings.

[m203gl]

If you don't Like seeing a guy without a shirt on, any future relationship will be a major challenge. Just a heads up

[Polocrew]

You have thing called "this dude is so outta my league it literally scare me how perfect his bod is" lol

[yungrekles]

It means don't ask that question if u don't want to see..

[Nik1hil]

If you are bicurious, then you are a lesbian

[Joeman1252]

It means he wants to show you his mucles

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I said "no", but would that hurt his feelings or something?

[Joeman1252]

Maybe a bit but not really

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

He didn't say anything else so I'm pretty sure it might end up awkward? I don't want to cut all ties with him though.

[Joeman1252]

Everything is awkward when your with a crush but when your with a girl/boyfriend its not so awkward anymore

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

He said "just kidding" afterwards. What does this mean?

[troyboy96]

There is something really wrong with you!!!

[bvvvt]

he likes you.

[YourCaptainSpeaking]

I rejected him and things are going downhill. I don't know what to do. I've sent him my hottest photos to which he only replied "so pretty" as opposed to his usual enthusiastic flirts.

[TheBraveLion]

Well he likes you...
