Why do they have to be shirtless in pics? Why do they call women 'mommy'?

Don't know about "mommy"? but the shirtless guys are flexing.

They think they will get a woman by doing that.

You're joking right? Do they really do that?

I'd laugh my ass off at them.

At least they're making it easy to know which ones to avoid.

*Cough*

Uh, for the record, the whole 'mommy' thing is a form of power play and suggestive flirting. Typically used to refer to a woman who is in charge; one who is intimidatingly beautiful and assertive. Daddy is the male version.

They uh, want to be player two if you catch my drift and are likely looking for a hook up.

*Cough*

there was a dude in Queensland named Gabe tostee who posts pics of himself topless using various fake names
Image

who was charged with causing he death of a girl he met on tinder and after a stint in jail he was found not guilty (caused a national outrage)

and then went back on tinder where he was pulling dates from girls who knew he was a killer.

He has zero care

Evidence he continues to be a risk to women

Apparently the woman was threatened by friends of tostee. tostee himself bragged "haters want me to get stuffed" "But I get to stuff the lovers" (meaning women he meets online). Authorities do nothing and dating platforms haven't banned him.

A guy called me mommy, twice, I deleted him.

Being shirtless is just as cringe.

That's a bit harsh, but I can't exactly blame men for that either. This is one of those things where if women would just put up profiles that actually communicated what they would respond to, men would probably not bother with this one. There's other stuff like those infamous Richard photos that are both inexcusable and inexplicable, but this one at least does make some sense, at least for guys that are in shape. Some women go for that.

Men who have success on dating sites are generally the same men who can get dates in real life.

What you describe is the behavior of men who have no idea how to attract women.

Do you mean women should have profiles which say they'll respond to men wearing clothing, who know how to have conversations with women who aren't their mother?

Such a hard sell.

That's stating it a bit strongly, saying not to refer to women they want to date as mother should generally be a given. The shirt thing really shouldn't be a given because that's clearly not a common thing. Beefcake calendars have existed for quite a while, so clearly some portion of the female population does like to see that, as long as we're not talking about an excessive beer belly. In the case of the beer belly, that falls under the general rubric of perhaps be honest, but don't be so honest that nobody can like you.

But yeah, go on one of those sites and look at the various profiles that women post and tell me they aren't either lying. The statistics shed a significant level of doubt that the women really are going after what they say, there just aren't that many tall men to begin with, let alone any other qualifiers that are listed.It's been a few years, but I doubt things have changed appreciably since then.
