Social media and shirtless/bathing suit picks

[Kcthepouchh8r]

Would you judge someone for having a picture like that on social media? If it were a guy you were considering dating, would it be a deal breaker?

Honestly, if that's all a person posts then I judge. No one needs to take a daily or weekly tanning by the pool or out at the beach picture. But a out with family and friends and I happen to be in my bathing suit or bare chested is nbd.

My cousin used to constantly post new pics of her and her friends in bikinis out on their boat. While I didn't really judge, I just thought of it as being young and immature. Since she had her baby last year, though, those pics have stopped.

I don't think it would be a deal-breaker for me if a guy posted pics like that, but it also wouldn't really draw me in, either.

Are they showing of and generally being an AW? Then yes, total turnoff. If it's just snapshots of having fun then NBD. But isn't the point of most people's social media selfies. Look at me and my fabulous life!

It really depends on the nature of the post. Friends hanging out in the summer? whatever. Ding it provocatively - I judge. Even certain selfies when they are clothed call for judgement..lol

As for the guy, if he has a number of pics showing off his muscles/body, that seems vane and not really someone I would be interested in. However, if it seems he is doing it as a weight loss/proud moment. It's probably fine.

to sum up - it depends. ha

I agree that it depends on the nature of the post.

Hanging out with family/friends, on vacation, etc? No big deal.

Obviously posed and show-offy? Annoying. Especially if there are lots of the same type of picture.

I kind of judge people who take topless/bikini selfies in their bathroom. If there is an obvious reason for the lack of clothing I don't mind as much.

It's the topless selfies in the bathroom or locker room that bother me.

[dizzycooks]

i think it's inappropriate if it's constant, but one here or there, no biggie. It's also cultural. Some people use it to show the world they are hot. I don't know how to explain it, but I have a friend who's ex was jamaican and his feed was full of 'hot' girls showing off and it was totally just the culture to take pics when you think you're looking awesome.

This.  Beach vacation in a swimsuit?  Great, no biggie.  Your dingy bathroom mirror and you're half naked?  Weird.

I had a lot of bathing suit pics on facebook from 25 and younger (pre baby years haha). So did DH. But we lived in South Florida and pretty much lived at the beach and pool...so I like to think the photos were justified. It's not like we were taking bathroom selfies. Or pics of DH flexing at the gym. (He texted me those privately ha!)

So I wouldn't be turned off if the pics were situationally acceptable if that makes sense.

Ditto on context. I had a bikini pic as a profile pic two summers ago. I'm laying down and the kids are covering me with sand. I don't think that's weird at all. Vacation pictures in a swimsuit are totally fine.

On the other hand if a guy had a bunch of pictures in his bathroom mirror that would def be a deal breaker.

How about a woman in her 30s posting a pic of herself in leggings/skintight exercise pants and no shirt or jacket covering them and posting a PUC of said ensemble on FB with a caption she cannot believe she is wearing that to her kid's sporting event?

Edit *pix not puc

This is probably not the appropriate time to confess I wear workout leggings as pants. We cycle over to DS's tball games and I wore shit like that until it was warm enough for shorts. Oops.

I roll my eyes a bit. But, like Pp said, context, and frequency too. Just like selfies, one is fine but after a while I am yelling, "I get it!" at your profile.

But do you post a butt shot of yourself on FB announcing and calling attention to the fact you are doing it? I think it was an attempt to get compliments ( this is the oh no I am size 6 and cannot fit into my size 4 formal pix lady). She had a hastag winterbutt....her butt looks great...clearly it does....so weird to do this imho.

Yup that's weird. I have pictures of attire like that with ds and I after a game or dd and I sitting in the bleachers cheering. Would I take a picture of my ass is them? Nope.
