And the results were not surprising in the least,

Got a lot of hits from women who were not "matched" to me at all. The few messages I did send out to women were not only received well but I set up a few dates (nice). The one date I got was with a girl who looks like a solid 7, maybe an 8. We'll find out on Saturday.

For the record, my entire profile has very little info on it.

I'm certainly not shredded now, but ugh I wish someone told me that I'd get better hits and less BS if I put a shredded shirtless pic onto my profile.

Hilariously, I've gotten no bites on my POF page. Time to try this on Tinder...

Nice man!

I know some friends who are pretty jacked and completely resist doing this. I am not jacked but get better results than them on these things. I try to tell them "Just put up a beach pic!" and they're like "no that's weird".

WTF did you get jacked for?! Years of effort for a surprise at the end of the night?

Idiots...

Yeah I'll be honest there was very little gaming involved at all. I just sent a message that said,

"Hey! How are you doing?"

That was all it took. Talked a little bit about ourselves and life in the city and then just escalated it to a coffee date.

This was too easy

[heavy]

frenchie, did you just do a mirror pic?

If so, damn it's getting easier. Obviously the beach pic is better, but if girls are falling for selfie shredded shirtless pics (which I believe they are), damn chics are desperate.

[jamaicabound]

If you go with the straight bathroom mirror pic some chicks maybe dig it but your turning off a good portion of chicks who think your too into yourself, that bathoom pics are cheesy, etc. I even see some girls profiles that say don't even bother contacting me if you have a bathroom mirror pic. Thats why I agree with other posters, if you want a shirtless pic go with a pic thats doing something naturla ie at the beach. I had a pic of me working on my motorcycle in the garage with my shirt off, I felt that was not bad as it wasn't staged it was me and a buddy working on my bike.

I've never been jacked but used to have a solid 6 pack and barbie bones as my girls calls it hip bones and lower stomach muscles. I didn't really notice it having a huge affect one way or the other. Never did an official experiment so to say but tried with those pics on and off and didn't change much how often I was contacted or anything. I'd occasionally get some messages like nice abs or something but iddn't really change how much I was contacted or anything

It's not a bathroom mirror. Just me standing in front of my bedroom mirror. Room looks good, but nothing special.

@Jamaicabound, good idea. I missed my chance this year. I'm going to Florida in January so I might have some time to cut up in December if I decide to. Either way I'm satisfied with the results.

[kinjutsu]

Yeah i can attest to this 100%.

I never used to like doing it but i just put one up and the messages started to flow in and my response rate tripled.
That being said the average girl online is kinda chubby and gross.

I'm currently on a break from girls till November but when i go back i'll be doing this to great success.

I definately get the desire to have one, if you work hard to stay in shape like they say if you got it flaunt it, plus even girls who say dont message me with a bathroom mirror pic probably dig you if your in shape but out of "principal" wont mesage you.

Doesn't even necessarily have to be a beach pic have your roomate take a pic of you laying on the couch without a shirt relaxing, just anything but a selfie in the mirror as those come off as cheesy. The one way you can get past that I've found is kidn of poke a little fun at yourself or joke about it. I think for a while I had a bathroom mirror pic and had a couple different titles. I think one time I titled it "shameless bathroom mirror pic" and another itme I think I said something along the lines of "i hear a bahtroom mirro selfie is a requesite to be on POF so here's mine" Just something that shows you have a sense of humor and aren't the my shit dont stink type or too full of yourself.

Isn't this old news?

Girls love douchebags. You just need to be her kind of douchebag. The farther you crawl out on any doucebag branch whether it is gym douche, beach surfer douche, hardcore metal douche, intellectual world scholar know-it-all douche, preppy douche, club suited up douche...

Pick one go farther out on the branch, the further you go the hotter chicks you get that like that branch.

You know any girl I've ever fucked, if she spouts about another guy that uses to fuck her 99% he beats me in douchebaggery.

Welcome to dating on the internets.

[The Beast1]

Haha yeah, lots of fatties. I'm bummed Tinder hasn't given me much love from this.

The one hot girl seems to be fine. I'm curious how this will play out this saturday.

[Mr. Butterworth]

a good medium for the mirror shot. would be to wear a wife beater instead of going shirtless.

I have the mirror shot of me after a hard workout at gym. I'm sweating and wearing the "douchey cutoff".

[Travesty]

^ Lose the cutoff.

Wear a diamond chain and a bandana.

You will get better results. If you're gonna douche swing for the fences.

[WestIndianArchie]

Can you post gifs on these services?

[Mr. Butterworth]

@travesty444

hahahaha. my cut off isn't the one you're thinking off. I laugh when I see a dude rocking the bandana. I've yet to see a guy wearing a chain while working out. dudes still wear chains?

[Sebastian]

I am curious why some girls say 'if you have pics of shirtless shot, wearing ed hardy
and other douche bag related, don't contact me' on their profile.

They got piped down by those guys and they never came back to service it?

This was actually one of the OKcupid studies. People claimed to hate them, but gave them higher response rates.

[Sonsowey]

It's the same as people who say "I hate drama" or "No cheaters".

They are drama queens and always get fucked by cheaters. It's a shortcut to knowing what kind of people they usually get with.

Ugh. I guess I better put down the burrito and pick up the weights.
