Girls, how can I show off my upper body without looking like a douchebag?

[HikerDude]

I used to be a fat guy but I've lost over 80 lbs over the past two years. I've also gained a fair amount of muscle and I want to continue getting bigger to attract girls.

My question for girls is this: I want to show off my body, but how can I do it in a way that won't appear narcissistic or off-putting to girls. I know girls like muscles, so I want them to be able to see my arms and the overall shape of my upper body. I don't want to wear really tight shirts because that looks cheesy, so what should I wear?

Certain cuts of t shirts seem to show a little more of a guys body.
Or when they reach up to get something higher up or that yawn stretch thing, his tee will go up a little and you see a peek of sexy stomach.
Wear those sweaters with the t shirt material and it sort of shows your biceps.
When you carry stuff, our eyes automatically go to your arms, so offer to carry stuff lol.

All these things are really subtle, but give a peek of your muscles and definitely make them stand out. Plus when guys don't just get them out, and you only see subtle hints, it makes you wanna see the full thing even more.

^ This is kinda what I was thinking. I don't want to walk around wearing revealing clothing at all. I just want it to be tight enough to pique girls' interest.

Like other girls said, you can show off your nice upper body with a well fitted t shirt. It doesn't ahev to be super tight. Also tanks tops to me still seem a bit douchey unless it's super hot out or you're actually working out at the time.

Find shirts that fit well. It only looks douchey when they're TOO tight.

[mildlyaloof]

Yeah, you should invest in some "hug" fitting shirts.

And, about being a "douche" about it: people will assume you are either way.

I'm a good guy but I get plenty of hate from other guys; apparently, I'm talked about amongst the female population at work.

People don't work out to hide it. It should be "displayed" somewhat because you've worked for it.

Wear a Barney suit.

[HikerDude]

That would show off Barney's upper body, not mine. Besides, I tried the fat and happy shtick... doesn't work.

[kambo_trick3y]

Well, Barney IS pretty ripped.

[HikerDude]

No, dude, Barney is fat. Look at the saddle bags he's carrying. His little T-Rex arms have like zero muscle.

[kambo_trick3y]

You crazy son.

Apparently you're confusing him for human physiology.

Clearly any self-respecting expert of dinosaur physiology would be able to tell that, for a T-Rex, Barney is a diesel monster. More machine than rex.

[HikerDude]

Well I'm trying to appeal to human females, so reptilian game won't help me.

Congrats on the weight loss!

Yeah like what the guys r saying wear tank tops. Be confident with ur body, u definitely won't look like a douchebag.

[CuriousCatbug]

tank tops, muscle shirts, or even normal shirts with a slightly smaller chest measurement or something.
go to beaches, all that jazz ^_^

good job on the weight loss by the way budski!

[BertMacklinFBI]

wear a tank top wherever you go, or go to the beach and take your shirt off.

[Anonymous]

You cannot. Because you want to show it off like a douchebag to prove that you are awesome. Note: No one knows (or cares) about your miraculous turn-around.

[Mgoods]

I actually care, I think it's admirable and inspiring.

Dear person: In real life, that is where you actually take your shirt off, no one will know your life story. Mgoods does not have the foresight to understand this. Do not listen to her.

On topic: I never realized how many homosexual undertones this topic actually has.

When you're at the beach take off your shirt: media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...f6be2b9d8bd0.jpg

[Opinion Owner]

You can't just change it don? :( They need to allow more freedom of choice!

[MeganTron]

Just wear t-shirts i hate guys wearing tanktops

[HikerDude]

I always feel a little silly wearing a tank top, like maybe it's a bit effeminate. IDK, showing off the body is a bit effeminate in general, I guess.

[sarmac]

wear shirts that hug your arms

When you stretch let your shirt come up a bit
