Is this picture idea immature?
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.
If a hypothetical girl really would be "turned off" by you enjoying being yourself, then you probably wouldn't be able to build a loving relationship with them anyways. Don't forget to give the Easter Bunny a copy as well!

This is the kind of thing I call a "loser filter". It stops the kind of people you don't want to deal with from entering your life in the first place.
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.
Dating website: probably way too soon to share, just looks cringe.
First date: too soon to share, painfully obvious ploy for attention/trying to stand out.
Second date: getting closer, almost there.
Third date: probably safe to share as something endearing and silly.
My suggestion is to do it for yourself because it is fun, because trying to use it as a token to stand out from other men will be seen as a desperate attempt to be funny/quirky, if you bring it out to early.
You don't use it to initially capture their attention, you use it to seal the deal.
I think it could work great on a dating profile. It's unique, memorable, and a conversation starter for the apps that require comments when liking
Maybe not as the first image, but anywhere else. Pair it with a witty caption
It's a completely fine idea, people will probably also find it funny as well. Please don't listen to these dinosaurs and enjoy life.
if you go around showing it to girls expecting a date you'll be disappointed.
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.
Any girl who can't appreciate that picture is not worth pursuing
It would be immature. I thought that was the joke, tho? 🤷🏻♂️
If someone is turned off by checks notes having a sense of humor, they're probably not worth your time anyway.
Yes, it's 100% immature, which is exactly why you should do it.
Do it.
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.
Don't do it if you're trying to date your sister.
Do it cause you enjoy having fun. Ladies will dig it for that reason. Some will think you're a dork. You don't want those ones anyway. Don't do it cause you're trying to set up a dating profile on some app. That's weird.
Actually I’ve done very well with girls who think I’m a dork, in an endearing way
Yeah it depends on our views of dork status. Some of us look for that in a fella. And hope he doesn't mind our dorkiness too.
Unless you’re causing harm, what others might think is rarely a good enough reason not to do something you genuinely want to do.
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.
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?
+1 for doing it. Have fun!
You only need to find one girl. Show this picture around, and most of them will skip out. Then you can focus on the ones that get your sense of humor.
Then you only have to filter for the ones that don't mind that you have a tiny dick.
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.
These communities are an absolute fucking joke. Moderation is non-existent, people are fucking assholes, and the content is grade F garbage shitposts.
Immature or not, that's your sense of humor. If a woman has an issue with the picture, there's a decent chance you won't get along anyway, so in that way it would actually be a good compatibility litmus test.
You and your friend seem to not take yourselves too serious, which is a nice trait.
Your sister seems a bit too uptight.
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.
Your sister sounds like a fucking buzzkill, no offense.
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.

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.
Do it. Who cares what girls think! But if you're trying to attract one then maybe wait a bit before showing her the dumb shit you like doing with your mates.
Don’t forget to bring giant lollipops and paint freckles on your faces!
i got a slide whistle and kazoo if you need one
Do it if it means you have a good time and you get a funny picture afterwards
Plus most girls I know would actually like a guy who's not afraid of not being "nonchalant". I think if a girl you show this picture to is turned off by it, it's a dodged bullet for a materialistic/superficial relationship anyways.
The world needs more silliness and whimsy. Don't be afraid to be cringe, you will be free.
You also have an obligation to share the image when you take it.
Do it. Sounds hilarious.
Your sister sounds immature.
Many would find it stupid, but those people don't share your sense of humor and you would never get along with them in the first place.
So go and put the picture, it will help weed out people you don't want to waste your time with. You'll only get those who either don't mind or who actually think it's funny too.
It's totally immature.
If that's something you think you'll have fun doing, I fully recommend it!
When you're 75 you'll look back at it and grin. Enjoy life
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.
Beware people who mistake fun and humor for immaturity.
Anyone who’s “immediately turned off” probably wouldn’t be much fun to be with, anyway. Your idea is a good one. The propeller hat makes it screamingly obvious that this is a fun joke. DO IT!
Edit: perhaps consider including one of those giant lollipops
our pictures taken with the Easter bunny while wearing overalls and a propeller hat. my sister says it’ll be immature
Is it a real question?
Who cares. Do it!
One year we bought loud Christmas themed outfits and went to have our picture taken with Santa. But not just Santa, there were minature goats there too. We each held one. They are so stinkin adorable. We were 46? 47? It made our whole week.
That became our Christmas card. Everyone loved it.
Go get your picture made. Your sister is a wet blanket that seems to still get embarrassed easily.
Yes, becouse quality girls famously hate guys with sense of humor.
Especially if they don't take themselves oversly seriously.
Be your goofy self, if people are turned off by that you would never be happy with them anyway.
Edit: That said, this logic only applies if you do it for yourselves because it's fun. If it's something you do as a dating strategy it is, indeed, doomed.
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.
Do it. Don't show a girl. Keep it for your kids before they turn 10. After 10 they don't care shit about you. But before 10 you're hilarious.
Immature? No. Fucking stupid? Totally. I'm a man and if a friend approached me with that idea, I'd be "fuck yeah, let's do it"
The picture itself will obviously pique anyone's curiosity, so I hope you have a better story behind it than "Oh, I just wanted an icebreaker", or that the taking of the picture generates a good story! 😆
I think it’s a great idea! Your sister just sounds like a sad sack that’s devoid of fun.
YOLO have fun, be nice to the staff.
The Guardian does an occasional feature called Flashback, where a celebrity recreates a childhood photo. It's a bit of fun! You have my permission to go right ahead. A sense of humour is very attractive.
Sounds like fun! Do it!
You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.
imho the worst thing you can do is worry about what other people think of your antics [provided you aren't actually hurting anyone else]
I take immature as a compliment here.
What do you want, a boring picture driven by society expectations, adulthood stress and other people's pressures. Or a fun picture idea that came from a mind still able to be creative and lighthearted?
It's immature and you should do it.
your sister is immediately correct
We got our photo taken with the Easter bunny age 18. It’s one of the best pics I’m in.
Do it
More immature than asking strangers for their opinion?
