On the other hand, the poster could inspire me to work out, and that would make girls like me
Is it this poster?
Then yes girls would be creeped out.
I don’t remember if it is that exact poster, but if not, it is one very similar to it
How do you get your posters to work out? Mine just want to hang around all day.
Yep. Girls will be creeped out. Also, while working out is probably something you should do (me too!) if you’re not already motivated to do it, a poster probably won’t help. At least, it wouldn’t help me. YMMV.
It’s not just that they’ll assume somebody living there is gay; it’s that they’ll also be immediately reminded of what a total pig he is, and assume that there is a gay guy who thinks it’s OK to abuse women and cheat on your wife etc. living in the room.
He is fairly close to the ultimate turn-off for any female that any decent guy would want to associate with. Now, if you’re Barney from HIMYM and you want to filter for women who will allow you to discount, cheat on, and otherwise abuse them, then he’s the symbol you want on your wall.
I put “Nay”, meaning don’t get it, although the answer to the thread title would be “yea”. It would be creepy, because it’s a creepy poster and I’m not sure it would inspire you to work out and I wouldn’t buy that story.
Creeped out? No. Date you? No.
It doesn’t feel creepy to assume someone of the opposite sex is gay. Disappointed, perhaps, and sad about his taste in men to boot, but creeped out?
I don’t think the poster makes him look gay, I just think it’s a creepy looking poster.
Eh, it wouldn’t creep me out by itself; however, unless you were quite fit and worked out a LOT I might think you were gay.
And despite the absurdly broad brush that Trucelt painted all women with, it’s perfectly possible to be a fan of Arnie’s body of work while still having self respect. Really there aren’t enough :rolleyes: in the world for that lame commentary.
Yeah I accidentally made the poll wording ambiguous. sorry
Aren’t you the guy who watches laserdiscs and takes popcorn tubs out of the trash for free refills at the movies? I don’t think the poster is going to be what stops you from picking up chicks.
I do watch laserdiscs but didn’t bring my laserdisc player to the dorm. I never actually took popcorn out of the trash; that was just a hypothetical question.
That was my point exactly. Someone told me that girls in my room would find the poster weird, then I said it didn’t matter because I would never have girls in my room anyway.
I would think you had put that poster of the creep there ironically. You see all sorts of posters in dorms that you just know are there just for shock value, or tongue in cheek, or because the subjects are such doofuses. Then, when I realized you had put up that poster of the creep because you apparently admired him or were motivated to become all muscles just like him…oh God, how PATHETIC! I would be creeped out AND think what a pathetic little thing you were.
I was wondering where the old PSXer went!

I said maybe. I’m not a girl, but I think the poster is actually pretty funny. I could see how a girl might think it was…weird.
Can it be this one instead?
They didn’t have that one at the poster sale
Gross. As a female, I say eww. I couldn’t have that in my line of sight and get romantical.
For some reason I assumed you had an Arnold poster on your wall already, though with less bulging muscle and more red laser.
