Just wanted to second Dragonlordged comment on what is sexy on men vs what is sexy on women.

I'm a guy who's spent a fair amount of time on dating sites (ZOMG TROLL BAIT) and Dragon is 110% correct. Put an attractive woman in a bikini instead of a suit and her views/messages skyrocket. With men it's the exact opposite. I'm a guy who (I tried to think of a way not to come off arrogant saying this, but just couldn't) has worked out several hours a week for years and it definitely shows, but got a far better response (as in from messages trickling in at a rate of a few a week to a dozen per day on a slow day) when I took down my "showing off shirtless" pics and went with a form fitting sweater/shirt and jeans/pants combos. The majority of women out there just don't want to see the guys half naked.

TLDR Skimpy clothes on women, but not on men isn't sexist....it's giving what the majority of both sexes want. (someone link the Sienfield show episode dealing with sexy good vs sexy bad)
