Thread’s like these remove all my doubt about whether it’d be a good thing to post a picture of myself in the ‘another dopers photo thread’ thread.
Just out of curiosity, are you Asian? I wuz wondering. Most of the women I know almost never find Asian men to be attractive, except in rare cases.
I’m a little surprised at the number of women who are choosing #6 over #7, but maybe that’s just me.
#5 Still a cutie. I don’t care what anyone else says, I like the hair, and the mischevous smile.
#6 Wow, very yummy. I’ll guess he’s over six foot? That sweater is so very wrong on him.
#7 Very intense, needs to smile to more, or stare less. He looks like he’s about to try and sell me something. Nice body, but I don’t find him attractive.
#8 Who let Oliver Queen in here? Bad photo, and that goatee has got to go. He looks like me might be a lot of fun to hang around with, but I’d never get over his resemblence to the Green Arrow.

#5 reminds me of someone I know who is a bit of a slimy womanizer - if this man’s personality proved otherwise, I would find him only mildly attractive. But probably would like to go out and drink with him.
#6 kinda reminds me of my ex - clean cut looking guy, probably nice and even tempered. Has an interesting intensity to his look here - might prove to be a powder keg to the right woman.
#7 Mrrowr. Something about this guy just speaks to me. If I were single, I’d probably be following him around. Combination of his eyes, face and body. I’d love to hear his voice. Please tell him to call me at work.
#8 Air of desperation - something about the tilt of his head. I have an idea this is one of those guys who try far, far too hard.
So, 7, 6, 8, 5.
I dare any doper to reverse the concept of this thread. That’s a thread with pictures of four or five women, inviting Straight Dope men to comment on their appearances. I say nobody has the balls/ovaries to do it.
whitebread pasty faced, blue eyed, red-brown hair chickie here. Just call me wonderbread.
#7. Handsome and sexy. Love the specs. Could have my phone number, if I weren’t already taken.
#6. Good genes. Pretty. Since we’re being shallow, I’ll just admit that he loses some points with me because I hate his sweater.
#5. Seems like he might be a fun guy; on the other hand, he also looks like he might be a guy who would laugh about you behind your back. I’d be cautious about him.
#7. Probably a very nice and sweet guy, but not my type. I’d guess he’s trying to look older by growing that goatee, but he’s really not doing himself any favors.
#6 - The most attractive so far. I like his body best. His face is pleasing. I think he bought that sweater at Target.
#s 5, 7, & 8 - are all not attractive to me. They are not hideous; they just don’t appeal. #5’s hair is too Don King-ish and he seems too alpha male. #7’s arms, hands, and head tilt are a turn-off. Is he short? #8 appears too effeminate.
First impressions from a photograph are not much to go on. I can be attracted to men who are initially visually unappealing if they have good personalities.
#6 is a hottie!
This sounds like a hearty challenge to me. Any takers?
I don’t find any of those guys even remotely attractive.
Woo hoo. I’m not a guy, but I am so ready for that thread. Heck, I think we should have an entire forum just for that purpose.
#5 - The smile helps, and he looks like he’s got a good sense of humor, but not really my type.
#6 - DAMN, he’s hot! I just want to run my fingers through his hair. I’ll buck the trend and say I kinda like the JCrew-ish sweater.
#7 - I think this picture and the one from the previous thread need to be used together. It shows that there are multiple sides to his personality. I still like his kinda-geeky, sweet-guy look.
#8 - Cute. I’m not getting much about his personality from the picture though.
Rankings: 6, 7, 8, 5
Have any of them changed anything based on these comments? For example, has #6 gotten rid of that sweater since so many women seem to dislike it? And #5 has repeatedly been told to get rid of the goatee. Is he thinking about doing that?
If I knew five women, I’d do it just to show you up!
I’m going to have Round Three ready soon. I’m just gathering some more photos.
In the meantime, further feedback here would still be appreciated.
I like #5 best based on what his appearance tells me about him (not that you can get much that way IMO).
He looks like so much fun.
Weird, I don’t think he looks cocky or untrustworthy at ALL, I just think he looks like an individual.
All are attractive in their own way.
I need a cleaner-cut guy than #2 but I know a lot of younger women (I’m 33 now) like that look.
#7’s t shirt is slightly too tight for me but I think that’s a regional, and certainly superficial, thing.
#8 pic is not really good enough to get anything out of it IMO.
Since I missed this last time around, and since I’ve done rounds 1 and 3, I’ll have a go at this now.
#5 - Looks like Jeff Goldblum at quick glance, and I don’t find that very appealing.
#6 - He could be the guy in the next cubicle - young engineer - looks pleasant enough.
#7 - The pose is hokey, as is his expression. Doesn’t impress me.
#8 - Not a great photo, but he looks to be a nice guy - I’d talk to him.
