LeBron James no shirtBecause of all this social networking, I’m having long-distance, non-consummated relationships with somewhere between six or fourteen or thirty-seven girls.

A few of these have gotten pretty serious, having gone so far as to include phone calls and going, “mmmmm-mmmmm…we’re kissing mmmmm…” into the phone.

This happens before and after the calls, but not during them. Sometimes there aren’t even phone calls at all, but still fake kissing sounds, and we text each other so we both know that it’s happening.

Anyway, one of these girls crossed the line yesterday, asking me not once, but several times, to send her pictures of myself without a shirt on. (I know she’s reading this, so like I guess this is my official response.)

Now look, I’m always game for something that might be deemed odd or hilarious, but for her this wasn’t a joke – she really wanted them, and she wouldn’t let it go.

I was just like, “No, c’mon, that’s messed up. Who does that? Don’t wreck our strange and semi-fake relationship.” Seriously though – she wouldn’t stop asking, and I finally just hung up, and then sat in the car, wondering what had gone wrong, and who I was inside, and doing long division. I slammed my hands on the steering wheel because of a stray remainder.

It was a 4.

I asked these things because I wanted to know the answers, and I ultimately decided I’m simply not a guy who feels comfortable emailing shirtless pics of himself to hot internet babe non-girlfriends.

NO MATTER WHAT.

Have you ever emailed shirtless pics of me to someone? Or maybe you emailed them to yourself from an alternate account? Have you gotten shirtless pics of anyone from someone you only know on the internet? Or maybe pics with shirts on, and you know the person in real life, and you don’t have their email address, but plan to get it maybe in a few weeks?

Do you use gmail?

Just post links to every picture you’ve ever emailed or received via email.

    Sure am I glad I hadn't hit SEND, yet (j/k — for anyone who knows me, including any future clients, recruiters, my husband, stepkids or mother-in-law).

    Will you accept pictures of a shirt with no body? What if I fold the shirt neatly, like the Gap does, with those folding boards?

    I'd call you seriously funny, but since you are a math wiz, you'd figure out that I'm calling you a zero since they cancel each other out. Let's just say you make my gut hurt because I laugh so hard. It must be all of that metal in your head.

    Yeah some pictures of just shirts would be great – that's actually what I should've offered up as an option. Can I call you next time this comes up – maybe we can conference it?

    that pic of hairy LeBron makes this whole post that much more awkward.

    my answers:
    no. no. probably. um, sure.

    yes.

    this last one isn't a question, but my answer is no.

    It turns out, I might be that guy, so, if you hook me up with her…. :)

    The real issue here is, if it's online, it's forever, and if you don't feel comfortable sending a pic to someone, don't do it.

    Woah Spaeth: “non-consummated relationships with somewhere between six or fourteen or thirty-seven girls.”

    That's a lot of noncondoms! Or maybe you use the “nonrhythm method” to prevent nonimpregnation.
    Can you imagine all the little cyber baby Brians and Briannas running around in this world?

    This piece is hilarious! It reminds me of being on an airplane. Ya know, how like when you are on an airplane and just sitting there on the airplane. Like being on an airplane but you are really “inside” of the airplane. LIKE THAT, like I feel INSIDE your head, which is probably like being inside an airplane. EXCEPT your head is a lot smaller.

    I don't see what the big deal is about sending your shirtless pecs to some gorgeous girl who wants to drool over the image? Wouldn't it be cool to know chicks are pleasuring themselves to your cropped, headless, torso pics? While typing that question I felt a rise in my pantyhose.

    I envy your life. DON'T YOU?

    hooray for non-sports blogs that attract females!

    and I guarantee that I would date all of you female commenters, except @alexiskn and @halfbee29 because I can tell they don't really enjoy my humor and a night of kissing would be full of me cracking awkward jokes and talking about the Detroit Pistons

    I have not read your article nor the comments, Sir. But, I have two things to say (and would like to say them excessively using commas).

    1) I believe that you are using an unauthorized photo of Larry Bird in the above article. (Insert , , , somewhere back in that sentence).

    2) You have NO RIGHT. No right at all to claim that aliens should wear pants! How dare you!

    Thank you for your time and effort in addressing these issues.
