A friend and I (both 30yo males) are thinking of getting our pictures taken with the Easter bunny while wearing overalls and a propeller hat. my sister says it’ll be immature and that if I were to show a girl they would immediately be turned off.

We feel it’ll be funny and a good ice breaker with girls or anyone else for that matter. But now I’m kinda questioning it.

    If a hypothetical girl really would be “turned off” by you enjoying being yourself, then you probably wouldn’t be able to build a loving relationship with them anyways. Don’t forget to give the Easter Bunny a copy as well!

    It is immature and if you go around showing it to girls expecting a date you’ll be disappointed.

    Do it because it’s funny, not because you could use it as an ice-breaker (you can’t). If you really want to impress girls, doing it and not giving a fuck what your sister thinks is more likely the impress someone, girl or not- but it’s not an ice-breaker.

      Well he wants to put it on dating profiles.

      I just want to do it as not an ice breaker but as something I can bring up on a date while talking about other stuff if it’s relevant.

      We are mostly doing it for the lols but figured it being an icebreaker was an extra.

        I think it could work great on a dating profile. It’s unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking

        Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption

        It’s a completely fine idea, people will probably also find it funny as well. Please don’t listen to these dinosaurs and enjoy life.

      i think filtering out the kinds of people who would be offended/icked by this (e.g. on a dating site profile) is probably a benefit. i can’t fuck someone i can’t laugh with.

    If a woman i wanted to date didn’t find me funny when i do goofy shit, then she would quickly become a woman i dont want to date.

    I can be immature without that being my whole personality. I am mature when it’s appropriate and immature when it’s appropriate.

    Just be yourself. You dont want to lock it all away to be in a relationship with someone who can’t laugh at a well-timed fart.

    Do it cause you enjoy having fun. Ladies will dig it for that reason. Some will think you’re a dork. You don’t want those ones anyway. Don’t do it cause you’re trying to set up a dating profile on some app. That’s weird.

      Actually I’ve done very well with girls who think I’m a dork, in an endearing way

        Yeah it depends on our views of dork status. Some of us look for that in a fella. And hope he doesn’t mind our dorkiness too.

    Unless you’re causing harm, what others might think is rarely a good enough reason not to do something you genuinely want to do.

    a few points: 1) don’t let your sister talk you out of fun. 2) your sister knows less about fashion than david alan grier. 3) the most immature thing you can do is worry about whether something is immature. 4) just do what you want. have fun.

    Jesus Christ, stop asking people on the internet for their dumbass opinions on things and just do your shit.

    Think something’s funny? Go and do it. Show it to your friends. If they have the same sense of humor, they’ll laugh. Show it to some girls, they’ll laugh if they’re into your shit. That’s how it works.

    Socialization is rough, bro. It doesn’t always work out. You’ve got to try shit. Sometimes you get rejected, sometimes it’s a hit. That’s just how it flows. Experience real life, my man. Get off your phone and touch grass.

    Will it be funny you think? Do it.

    What kind of girl do you want to attract anyway? Do you want a full l girl that thinks that kind of stuff is funny or do you want a girl that finds it immature?

    You only need to find one girl. Show this picture around, and most of them will skip out. Then you can focus on the ones that get your sense of humor.

    Then you only have to filter for the ones that don’t mind that you have a tiny dick.

    The least sexy thing in your post is how miserable your sister seems to be.

    Humor is sexy. If a woman won’t date you because you took that photo as a joke, you’re dodging a bullet.

    if I were to show a girl they would immediately be turned off.

    I wouldn’t use the photo as your opening gambit, but in an album of similar photos it’s a positive, not a negative.
