This Straight Influencer Knows Exactly What He’s Doing With That Crop Top
Chase Stobbe says he’s straight. But his content? That’s another story.
At a glance, Chase Stobbe is just another gym-built guy on social media. But scroll a little deeper and things start to look a lot less “straight” and a lot more curated—for attention, for engagement, and let’s be honest, for thirst.
The Florida-based fitness creator has built a sizeable fanbase across TikTok and Instagram, with slow-motion gym clips, shirtless reels, and poses that toe the line between cheeky and calculated. On OnlyFans, he’s upfront: “No boy-on-boy, I’m straight.”
But on every other platform, his photos tell a different story.
We’ve seen this before. A perfectly angled man spread on the couch, sweatpants tugged just low enough. Or tight briefs clinging in all the right places. Then there’s the classic: arms behind the head, abs flexed, jaw relaxed. It’s not new, but Chase does it better than most.
The Crop Top Revival
Lately, he’s revived the crop top—yes, the same one that was iconic in the 1980s on athletes and action stars. Back then, it was football players on college fields. Today? It’s shirtless selfies with a twist of throwback flair. Whether it’s nostalgia or a knowing wink at the gaze of his audience, the effect is the same: people are watching.
Is It Queerbaiting or Just the Algorithm?
It’s easy to accuse straight men like Chase of queerbaiting, especially when the content flirts so openly with homoeroticism. But this might not be a calculated PR move, just a response to what performs online. Sex sells. So does a certain kind of softness wrapped in muscle, suggestiveness without commitment.
And if Chase is making money from gay fans without ever saying the word, well, he’s not the first. Nor will he be the last.
We’re Looking, Chase
He may not be inviting men into his DMs, but he’s definitely inviting their attention. The slow pull of the waistband, the sideways glance, the lean into the lens—it’s not accidental. And while the labels remain clear, the visuals do all the talking.
No judgement here. Just an observation. And maybe a little curiosity about how far the act goes when the camera is off.
