The self posted shirtless pic makes one a douche. However, we cannot know about the shirtless pic until we look, thus quantum law tells us that prior to observation, the person in question is both a douche and not a douche, in a superposition of states.

Oh yeah, my point about The Ex was gonna be that that's what having a more rational health care policy will do for you: old broke anarchists who can still play angular but coherent punk music because they don't have to worry about getting throat cancer or whatever.

Douche, unless he sincerely believes that his bare torso best represents both "runescape" AND "wonderlic".

You know what's douchiest about this? That he's trying to post pics of himself without shirts, etc., while trying to avoid the "douche" label by going with ostensibly clever, self-aware titles. Like, I'm just kidding about showing you my pecs, but hey, since my shirt is off, why not admire them?

Truth to be told, I saw this and my first thought was, "Holy shit, what a douce. I have to post this." Then I realized that I didn't want a 500 comment thread about why I shouldn't be mean to random strangers on the internet, soooo...I figured I'd make y'all responsible by putting it in the form of a question. Thanks, meanies.

35. he's douchy/charming

I agree. Anything short of over-the-top-charming like a puppy stumbling over a toy, is probably going to come off as douchey.

As Jules says, "Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?"

The 'shits bats' thing made me chuckle, but I'm pretty sure that's cribbed from somewhere else, so he doesn't get points for that. Basically, it's a page about how strong his muscles are. (Sort of like the Todd on Scrubs.)

I actually don't see dilemma. The guy seems like every other moron that age, possibly slightly worse than the norm. I'd give him a two for charm and about a six for douchiness, but that's pretty normal for that demographic.

he's douchy/charming

Exactly. Charming because a willingness to look silly in public is always a little charming. Douchy because "I'm too sexy for my shirt" isn't charming for long. Still, he's more charming than Althouse.

The carefully exposed waistband of his Calvins, if nothing else, puts him irredeemably into douchebag territory. I'll grant he's got pretty good hair, though.

Douche, no question. I fail to see any charming here.
(Also, the "shit bats" thing would be a lot more funny if he were actually gothy, which he doesn't appear to be in the slightest.)
