Is it a good way to attract girls on instagram stories and snapchat? Or does it make you look like an attention seeker?
I've tried as an experiment once or twice making a gym selfie instagram story (I'm not big, but with the good lighting I seem muscular on some pics), and I've gotten a few replies and reactions.
On the other hand I've seen posts saying that's it's better if you look like "low effort" guy. In the sense of not showing that you go to the gym and busy your ass for those muscles. The same way your hair looks good and messy in a good way, and it looks like you look good with low effort (even tho you spent 30 minutes making it look that way), and that makes you sexier.

I don't know about those but on Tinder girls will say they hate it and yet I sat next to a female friend who said it was vain, and then proceeded to swipe right on all the shirtless guys.
I would say get a shirtless pic taken by someone else not at the gym if you have a good physique, try to pretend it's casual (on the beach, or something).
Women will say they don't like it but they'll be the ones interested/swiping for it.

Can’t go wrong with a candid shirtless pic

They're fine, as long as they display some ability. Doing 10 clean muscle-ups? Have someone record it (while you're shirtless for bonus points). Deadlifting 400+ lbs? Have someone record it. Standing in front of a mirror? Fuck outta here.

Be covert.
Go hiking and shirtless. Take a group photo.
Even fishing. Get a catch and take a photo. Shirt off.
Looks WAY less try hard AND you look cool doing an activity.

Can't speak for women, but every time I see someone at the gym doing this I think that they are a douche who cares more about their image rather than their actual level of fitness. Don't workout for other people, do it for yourself. Put the phone down and pick the weights up.

Problem is the quality of the photos. Even if you have a nice pump, the pictures are gonna turn out shit in those dirty gym mirrors with a crappy cell phone pic

“Yeah I workout”
“Totally not looking for attention”

There is a okcupid large number study on exactly this. The younger the better for shirtless pictures. If I recall correctly the break even was in the higher twenties, afterwards you loose more than you gain by these shirtless pictures.
Sure match for under 20.
For large age differences it was not so clear anymore how to optimise it. In any case what I recommend is, do not optimize the overall match numbers but your favorite niche even if a larger number of other girls get pushed away (however normally the taste it at least somewhat similar to anybody so the first approach is not too different if you want a simple solution).
