Shirtless Single Men Seen As Less Competent And More Promiscuous A new study by the University of Colorado reveals that men, who pose topless on Tinder are seen as 'less competent' and 'more promiscuous' than men, who don't. Researchers showed 567 study participants pictures of a man with and without his shirt. They then asked women to judge the man.
The researchers wrote; ''A sexualized self-presentation on a Tinder profile is perhaps not the best self-presentational choice for men wanting to make a positive impression on women. The present findings indicate that a man's sexualized self-presentation on a dating profile, even on an app known as a site for hook-ups, elicits diminished perceptions of his competence and greater perceptions that he engages in risky sexual behavior.''

Dear Fonseca
My daughter recently graduated from high school and immediately moved out and got her own apartment. Yesterday, she came home and told my husband and I that she lost her job and is going to have trouble paying rent. She has asked us for a loan. My husband says we should not offer her any money and that her struggles will teach her responsibility. I am more sympathetic and think we should give her some cash until she gets another job and can repay us. What do you think we should do?
