It's hard to say... It just really depends on the guy, since everyone's different. I guess I would say that for the general majority, that yes, they might be insecure. On the other hand, every guy that I know who works out doesn't do it to brag about their muscles or anything. They just want to be healthy and enjoy working out. I can easily imagine that guys would be uploading pictures because they're insecure though! Especially if they do it on a daily basis. However, it IS an achievement to get really nice muscles, so they could simply be proud of themselves and more confident in their appearance, which would really be quite the opposite of an insecurity... It just really depends on the type of guy it is.
It depends tbh.
Some guys may be insecure, but others may feel proud about their achievement and want to share it.
So if a guy was constantly posting his pics everyday, and they were generally the same everyday then yes I'd think he might insecure because he's doing it so excessively that he's trying to prove something to others.
However if a guy posted a pic every now and then, even once a month, perhaps with a caption saying how he's done so far; then I'd think he's doing it for himself and is proud of his achievement and wants to share it.
Especially when they're not wearing any underwear in the picture, like its so fucking desperate, they were probably not given enough affection by their mothers when they were kids so they feel like they need to be validated by thirsty girls who just want to have sex with them. Its so fucking sad because these girls don't even care about the guy, they just wanna pump and dump him like he's some kind of object to use. I feel kinda bad but then again they're so attention seeking that its cringe af. Its like geez just put that away, have some respect for yourself.
When I had a facebook, I'd have guys with no shirts on try to add me. It made me really mad because they didn't have photos of anything else. On top of that, they tend to be rude, and overly manly. Like in a way where, they will not take no as an answer, and they will harass you until you basically get the police involved type thing.
I remember reading a study and statistically, guys who post more selfies tend to be more confident whereas girls who post more selfies tend to be less confident. I don't believe it specifically mentioned shirtless pics, but I'd assume it still applies.
That said, even if they are confident, they clearly are seeking social approval which I would consider a symptom of insecurity.
Bro, I once read a myTake over this and it changed my mindset over it. I feel you could really benefit from it. Just try to step into the shoes of this guy:

well.. if you have a hot bod, why not do us girls some charity ;) personally i dont get attracted to a guy like that.. but if someone is really into fitness and is posting those pics, then i really like it :) Also, why is it ok for girls to pout or show off skin and post pics and guys cannot post a pic showing off their muscles without being judged?
Id do it if i didn't care about the negative responses as well as the positive and id get both. But public image matters so that holds me back from doing things that would get attention as will it make me seem unprofessional even though it's not going to be on a professional sight.
Maybe if i looked like a fitness model and won the lottery or if I already worked as a software engineer for a porn sight or something so it wasn't really going to negatively affect my image.
I dont think theyre insecure but they are assholes. Seriously bro NO ONE FUCKING CARES IF YOU LIFT!
The rest of my body is average or maybe even skinny, but I have AMAZING abs, yet you dont see me posting pics of that on social media.
And a lot of people who take shirtless selfies aren't even that big LMAO.
I don't know I used to post myself but not profile pictures just on wall in facebook after my workouts. Now I don't do it anymore because I want people to judge me for my other achievments (msc, job, my mind etc). But sometimes I have the urge to post picture of my body because I want to show others how much work and blood I have done to get that body (I train gymnastics and calisthenics for power and moves but still you get a body as a gift for the hard work)
And then ask questions about it to get validation for their profile picture lol
I agree this is quite offensive and i kindly request you take out your profile picture please.
I think they just like to brag or show off in an attempt to make others jealous. Its kinda like when kids get a cool toy and they bring it to class.
Only body based person are either obsessed with their body, feeling proud all kind of stuff that
Or either don't like their body or just feel insecure at public places and at alone trying to change it highlighting it
Your confidence and beauty should not be based on your body at least for yourself,
It's not bad to look good but it's not good to be concerned for it
They're just trying to impress the man of their dreams is all.
I see nothing wrong with it. They dedicate a lot of their time to getting the body they want and it hard work. They are just showing the commitment payed off.
personally I don't like getting cuts from touching someone's ripped muscles, like why you gotta do that to me.

i generally think the opposite lol

I feel like maybe they are a bit insecure, but also they worked very hard to get that body so I guess they wanna show off their hard work
Every guy who is "too" anything is insecure and is trying to compensate for something he feels inadequate
Attractive. Unless it's like an obsessive overload of muscle photos on social media, then it's unattractive.
whatever makes them happy. Just don't send them to me
Whats the problem with showing something that you own?
It's pretty faggy. It's like girls taking belfies and fishing for approval.
i guess there are some who simply want opinions but frankly i think most are insecure
