Men Who Pose Shirtless on Dating Apps are Unappealing and Slutty: Study

I appreciate that we’re living in an era where men are starting to be called or thought of as “slutty.” 😂  For years being a “whore” or a “slut” were terms reserved for women only.

The cultural assumption was that it was okay for men to sleep around as much as they want to, and they were considered studly, but if a woman slept around – not even that much – she would get branded as “slutty” or “loose.”

But if you have a profile on a dating app, a new study may encourage you to reassess which pictures you include.

Researchers from the University of Colorado have revealed that men who pose topless on Tinder are seen as less competent and more promiscuous.

Nebraska Man Sentenced to Death for Strangling, Dismembering Tinder Date in Evil Group Sex Fantasy

I see news stories like this one, and it makes me wonder about all the sexual hedonists out there who mock more conservative-values types who don’t engage in sex outside of marriage, or who don’t just ‘put out,’ – makes me wonder how they feel about this sort of story.

Some of these include the secular or progressive Christian feminists who mock women who remain virgins until they marry, or who don’t totally reject ‘purity culture’ teachings.

Celibate persons such as myself tend to get ridiculed by a lot of people, but I can tell you one thing – I’ll never be hacked to death for meeting up with some guy for group sex on an online app, or meeting anyone for sex. There are definitely worse things in life than going without sex.

Also, this evil wacko dude was way older than the murder victim, and we all know how I feel about “May December” relationships.

A Nebraska man who murdered and dismembered a young woman he met on Tinder and then slashed his own neck in court during his trial was sentenced to death this week.

Aubrey Trail, a 54-year-old thief and con man, was convicted of strangling 24-year-old Sydney Loofe with an electrical cord in 2017, then cutting her body into 14 pieces that he dumped in various rural roadside ditches.

At trial, witnesses testified that Trail and his girlfriend, Bailey Boswell, 27, had solicited them for group sex and talked of the occult and gaining “powers” through killing.

Excerpts:

The search for a soul mate has become a big business. In the U.S., one in three dates now begins online. The global market for online dating services—about 500 million people—is expected to reach 672 million by 2019, according to research by Jefferies.

The business has been lucrative for the biggest player, InterActiveCorp and its listed subsidiary, Match Group, which owns Tinder, OkCupid and Match .com.

That explains why shares of IAC and Match nose-dived 20% and 25%, respectively, when Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook would enter the dating scene.

… The conventional wisdom among investors is that Facebook can do to IAC and Match what it did to Snapchat when it began Instagram Stories. There certainly are risks, but Facebook  has a tougher task in the dating game.
