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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 have to get older, but you don’t have to grow up. Do the fun shit in life that hurts nobody. This place hasn’t been so that great over the last decade, so you got to find joys in this life.

    I’m mid thirties and when the opportunity presents itself, I’ll look a fool for my own and other’s entertainment. Have a laugh, enjoy yourself, don’t negatively affect others with your fun, and don’t worry about what other people think of you.

    If I acted in any besides just me being me, I wouldn’t be married today. Never pretend to be someone you’re not, any friends you make then won’t be yours, they’ll be that phantom persons.

    So what if it’s immature anyway? So are loads of things. And most of them are fun. You exist for your pleasure, not other people’s.

    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.

    Don’t worry about girls, don’t worry about showing it to girls. Go have fun with your friend and make some good memories doing something goofy.
