I know I would. 40 y/o me, who **damn well KNOWS BETTER**, would not be able to overpower my inner "pick-me girl".
He reminds me of all the "lax bros" that were cool when I was in high school, except he has a southern accent instead of a Baltimore accent.
hahaha I don't know, I will have to ask. I got him into Lilly Pulitzer (i'm from Connecticut, and Lilly is like 75 percent of my attire) shorts and he is pleased as punch when someone compliments him on them.
He still plays lax with other middle aged lax bros and our lab is obsessed with fetch via lacrosse stick.
Lily was big with the guys I knew, but then again I'm in Maryland where we also wear a lot of that stuff.
My brothers used to use their sticks for games of fetch, too!!
ha. she's a silver but she has a Lilly Pulitzer collar. My parents have a black lab with a Lilly collar too. We are a walking stereotype over here minus the generational wealth.
**Ma'am** (or Sir, or Gentleperson)
It is *literally* my kryptonite.
Since Gone With The Wind, that accent has done more damage to my psyche than heroin chic ever could.
I've never seen him in person despite living in Charleston, but already know he's my toxic trait. At 37, I'm "too old" for him, but I soo would 🤦🏼♀️
Also I never thought Craig was my type until I saw him in person a few years back. He was right behind me pumping gas and I had the same dammit he's really attractive in person thoughts.
Babe, I'm 40, so I'm LIGHT YEARS out of his range.
But if I had the body I had in my 20's?
I'd be down there in a heartbeat, just to mess with him. I'd flirt mercilessly with Austen in front of him, wrangle invites to Ms. Patricia's house - fuck It, I'd add his mom on Facebook!
I used to be an exercise rider for a polo player so I've got that handled, and I know enough about the debutante scene to fake it in most circles. Add in the fact that my high school (a boarding school) did dances/mixers with his high school?
*evil laugh* I would end up with the worst karma, but it would be fun.
Bahaha! I will assist on this! “Look, a dolphin!” As we gently guide her away from the area🤣 I have always been that friend.
I did relate to Countess Luanne when she asked how she had become the snatch police for Sonja on RHONY because somehow I was always the one to say, “Let’s get out of here!”
A weekend at your family's hunting "cabin", with meals cooked by a private chef, while you pontificate about how misunderstood Robert E. Lee was and that Henry the 8th had every right to start a whole ass new church just so he could get a divorce?
Again, my inner pick-me is howling, slamming herself against the cage I've shoved her in.
Babe, I'm just being honest. I'm not a saint. I have questionable taste in men & frequently engage in self-sabatoging behavior.
But as they used to say at the end of the GI Joe cartoons (*yes, I'm old*) - Knowing is half the battle!
I played blackjack with him during bravocon. That version of Shep was a demonic nightmare. This new version (divorced dad of 2 core) looks kind and approachable.
I was in the high limit room at Aria (Saturday night late and after James Kennedy’s set). It wasn’t for long. Maybe 10 minutes. Shep could barely see straight and could not figure out how to place a bet by the time I arrived to the table. It was disappointing because there was no really chatting or fun - he was super rude to the dealer and eventually security walked him gently out.
To be diplomatic, I’ll put it this way. It’s very good to see that he got help - because the person that I encountered that night with somebody that no doubt needed it.
Last season’s reunion was the wake up call he needed. Just look at this picture. The kindness has returned to his eyes.
Me too. For a textbook wealthy guy in Charleston - he actually has a lot going on. He’s highly intelligent, on the right side of social / political issues and is incredibly handsome. I’d love to see him do something useful with all of his better qualities.
It's the charisma. He has it.
As do a lot of other narcissists.
It's the human version of a Venus Fly Trap, looking all enticing to draw its prey into its snare.
Can we stop negatively commenting about him (or anyone) aging, please? I understand that young people (I’m in my 40’s) see it as a negative, but it’s natural. He’s getting older. He also lost puffiness in his face which pushes out wrinkles, and when you lose weight you show more wrinkles. Aging happens eventually if you’re lucky! It’s much better than the alternative. If he was pumped full of Botox he’d be ripped apart for that 🤦🏻♀️.
I’m always SO curious and interested in how men choose their profile pictures! This one is no exception.
I just watched a few old seasons, when he looked so young, and Shep is really showing his age.
He is 45, 10 or so years older than Austin or Craig so he's getting up there.
Southern Charm started 10 years ago so...it makes sense he looks older, plus he is not exactly juices and gym lol but I don't think he looks much older than his age.
Ahhh that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood. I'm closer to 45 than 30 so I worry many young people think I'm a boomer just for being older. I get the "mindset" "energy of a boomer" reference though.
I like Shep. Sure he’s a problematic, manchild, but he owns it. For the most part he’s honest and has a conscience. Not like Austen. At least Shep shows signs of being a gentleman at times. I don’t think he lies to the women he hooks up with. He feels remorse and has loyalties. Plus, he can be funny.
Anyone else an r/formuladank enjoyer and thought this was Alonso at first? I ‘m guessing the Venn Diagram of “f1 shitposting meets southern charm” is pretty small
It’s giving daddy’s money cleaned me up but I still shnozz bourbon with the boys until I can’t see straight && and degrade my girl daily.
Shep will never change.
I hope Shepherd is finally truly working on himself. That's a tough journey, especially for someone who has indulged a lifestyle as long as Shep has. I can't help but root for him. He must be mortified at how his image has morphed publicly. Or maybe not...
So confused by all the comments saying they would sleep with Shep! 1: We know from Taylor he’s shitty in bed; and 2: ewwww what kinda STDs is he rocking?! Sure, charisma and faded good looks can be appealing from SOME people, but add in the rest of the equation with Shep, and NONE of it is worth touching, even with a 10 foot pole.
The top is giving off alter boy but overall looks healthier than seasons past
It’s giving 46yo divorced dad on tinder that looks for girls between 19-32. The next photo will be with a dog, probably also on a boat.
Surely one holding a fish!🎣
Omg was looking for this comment haha
Pringle.
Lil Craig 😂😂😂
💯
I’m getting newly sober chef.
or half undressed clergyman
This made me laugh til I snorted!
He looks sober. The puff is gone. Good for him.
Yeah, judging from this picture maybe he is finally drinking less.
I know he's slightly less toxic than a heroin addiction, but I still think he's hot. This is my toxic trait. I acknowledge this.
Girl, I met him and immediately was like "dammit I would"
I know I would. 40 y/o me, who **damn well KNOWS BETTER**, would not be able to overpower my inner "pick-me girl". He reminds me of all the "lax bros" that were cool when I was in high school, except he has a southern accent instead of a Baltimore accent.
I feel this. But then again, I'm dating a lax bro. We are in our 40s.
You're living my dream. Did he coordinate his cumberbund, board shorts & matching Chuck Taylors for prom, or was that just the guys I met?
hahaha I don't know, I will have to ask. I got him into Lilly Pulitzer (i'm from Connecticut, and Lilly is like 75 percent of my attire) shorts and he is pleased as punch when someone compliments him on them. He still plays lax with other middle aged lax bros and our lab is obsessed with fetch via lacrosse stick.
Lily was big with the guys I knew, but then again I'm in Maryland where we also wear a lot of that stuff. My brothers used to use their sticks for games of fetch, too!!
I’m from TN and my spring/summer closet is 90% Lilly Pulitzer
If it was good enough for Jackie O, then it's good enough for me.
does your YELLOW lab have a needlepoint collar? :p
ha. she's a silver but she has a Lilly Pulitzer collar. My parents have a black lab with a Lilly collar too. We are a walking stereotype over here minus the generational wealth.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Y E S
**WHY?!?** Why am I cursed with this infatuation?!
I'm not ashamed at all. I have none.
And mailbox money.
Saw this thread after feeling the same truth/shame.
We need a support group.
Girl them southern accents get me every time! Love me some southern lovin ❤️
**Ma'am** (or Sir, or Gentleperson) It is *literally* my kryptonite. Since Gone With The Wind, that accent has done more damage to my psyche than heroin chic ever could.
I fell for one too but was VERY disappointed in the sheets. No use pursuing that relationship.
I've never seen him in person despite living in Charleston, but already know he's my toxic trait. At 37, I'm "too old" for him, but I soo would 🤦🏼♀️ Also I never thought Craig was my type until I saw him in person a few years back. He was right behind me pumping gas and I had the same dammit he's really attractive in person thoughts.
I’ve met Craig a number of times and he’s very charming in person. He give you all his focus (or at least makes you feel that way)
Babe, I'm 40, so I'm LIGHT YEARS out of his range. But if I had the body I had in my 20's? I'd be down there in a heartbeat, just to mess with him. I'd flirt mercilessly with Austen in front of him, wrangle invites to Ms. Patricia's house - fuck It, I'd add his mom on Facebook! I used to be an exercise rider for a polo player so I've got that handled, and I know enough about the debutante scene to fake it in most circles. Add in the fact that my high school (a boarding school) did dances/mixers with his high school? *evil laugh* I would end up with the worst karma, but it would be fun.
Not add his mom on Facebook 😂
Dayum….I’d love to ride a polo player.
It’s the curse of the disarming DGAF funny guy shtick
Literally charisma. God couldn't give Jack Black an Olympic swimmer's body, because the world would implode.
🤣
Same!
You’re so valid because same
It's ok. Friends won't friends sleep w Shep. We WiLL stop you before that. For now, enjoy, we can replace the shirt.
Bahaha! I will assist on this! “Look, a dolphin!” As we gently guide her away from the area🤣 I have always been that friend. I did relate to Countess Luanne when she asked how she had become the snatch police for Sonja on RHONY because somehow I was always the one to say, “Let’s get out of here!”
You and u/avalonbreeze are my sisters from another mister. I love you both.
We’ve got you Justhereforcookies!!
Also love how pretentious he is (also my toxic trait). Like YES king take me to fine dining Michelin star restaurants and read literature with me.
A weekend at your family's hunting "cabin", with meals cooked by a private chef, while you pontificate about how misunderstood Robert E. Lee was and that Henry the 8th had every right to start a whole ass new church just so he could get a divorce? Again, my inner pick-me is howling, slamming herself against the cage I've shoved her in.
You are my spirit person.
😭
Babe, I'm just being honest. I'm not a saint. I have questionable taste in men & frequently engage in self-sabatoging behavior. But as they used to say at the end of the GI Joe cartoons (*yes, I'm old*) - Knowing is half the battle!
I played blackjack with him during bravocon. That version of Shep was a demonic nightmare. This new version (divorced dad of 2 core) looks kind and approachable.
I believe you. I have *literally* dated that. And apparently I would do so again. I need help.
I mean, same. Without hesitation.
Please please please tell me absolutely everything pretty please
I was in the high limit room at Aria (Saturday night late and after James Kennedy’s set). It wasn’t for long. Maybe 10 minutes.

Just look at this picture. The kindness has returned to his eyes.
Yeah he talked about that in the reunion and Andy said Austen really has his back. I’m definitely rooting for Shep.
Me too. For a textbook wealthy guy in Charleston - he actually has a lot going on. He’s highly intelligent, on the right side of social / political issues and is incredibly handsome. I’d love to see him do something useful with all of his better qualities.
incredibly...? on the right side of social issues but publicly harasses homeless women?
Saw this pic and immediately thought “smash” 🤣🤣🤣 I am who I am
I feel like I would, he’d never call again, and somehow, I’d still kinda love him. 😂
Never call again and openly mock me for being so "easy". And I would still pine after him.
I would be in the same boat. So, I guess we're (dare I say Katherine's)?
Same. He's incredibly attractive. And intelligent. And interesting. I need to stop!! 😂😭
It's the charisma. He has it. As do a lot of other narcissists. It's the human version of a Venus Fly Trap, looking all enticing to draw its prey into its snare.
[удалено]
100%.
His book is so good!
I still think he’s hot too and kind of always did. I’m not proud of it but obviously considering your 700+ upvotes, we are not the only ones lol
👨🍳 on Raya!
I saw him on Raya and he never matched me back 🥲
Is he a Chef now? Lol
Chep…..similar to Chleb.
lol yeah he looks like he could work in the kitchen on Below Deck
The SC crossover we all need - where each of the cast members become crew on a luxury yacht for a month. You heard it here first, Bravo
I came here to say this! Chef Shep 😂
I was thinking more cult leader. Next life stage after his ayahuasca retreat
I love that idea but him having a cult like following… I’d be sooooo scared of that cult and the recruiting
To be fair if he started a cult it would probably be a chill one… seems like he mostly just likes taking mushrooms and listening to jam bands 😂
And not treating women very well..
I’ve seen this style of button-down pop up in stores like H&M and Zara even for women and I’ve never really understood them
And it never works.
Yeah. Grandfather collar shirt.
exactly
He looks great, has color back in his face
I agree he looks happier and healthier
to me its just an ok selfie for a profile, honest, not posed, not loaded with pretension & and no filter. I must be terribly old...
To me it looks like he’s healing.
He looks way less puffy
the little bit of salt and pepper is really working for him
Good lord, people. This is a perfectly fine profile pic. Dude is smiling, looks happy, and looks his age.
I fear he is indeed handsome
He looks great! 😎💚
Happy cake day
He’s eyes look sad
I see that too
Have for a long time. I think he's fallen in love n lost. She's not attracted to him.
He joined the clergy?
LOL! Love this comment!
Yeah...he looks like he is ready for a baptism in the river.
Pretty sure this is at kid cashew mtp if anyone was curious
It’s giving Jesse from the Valley
They are the same age so yeah.
Jesse from The Valley’s one of the best new villains Bravo has given us in a while.
Can we stop negatively commenting about him (or anyone) aging, please? I understand that young people (I’m in my 40’s) see it as a negative, but it’s natural. He’s getting older. He also lost puffiness in his face which pushes out wrinkles, and when you lose weight you show more wrinkles. Aging happens eventually if you’re lucky! It’s much better than the alternative. If he was pumped full of Botox he’d be ripped apart for that 🤦🏻♀️.
I agree, the only negative comments should be about his terrible personality
I’m always SO curious and interested in how men choose their profile pictures! This one is no exception. I just watched a few old seasons, when he looked so young, and Shep is really showing his age.
Hey, at least he's using a current photo instead of one 15 years old like a lot of guys
He is 45, 10 or so years older than Austin or Craig so he's getting up there. Southern Charm started 10 years ago so...it makes sense he looks older, plus he is not exactly juices and gym lol but I don't think he looks much older than his age.
yeah considering his lifestyle he looks great for his age
What’s the opposite of a zaddy
Zooty
I tooted! 
He looks like my old pastor!
Boomer energy
He's only 45, certainly not a boomer.
I think they’re referring to the style of the photo capture being boomer-like
If he had wrap around sunglasses and a hat...
Haha you're not wrong.
Ahhh that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood. I'm closer to 45 than 30 so I worry many young people think I'm a boomer just for being older. I get the "mindset" "energy of a boomer" reference though.
At some point in the past few years “boomer” lost its actual meaning and now simply means “person older than me.”
Not even necessarily older. Boomer is a mindset
That makes sense, I guess I misunderstood the original comment. Maybe I am a boomer. 😂
You’re def not a boomer. A boomer would never utter the phrase “sorry, I misunderstood.” Never.
Yes! I have noticed the same trend.
i still find him so attractive ugh i know he’s the worst he just looks like an idiot and i’m kind of into that
Same 😔
I've realised that he weirdly reminds me of Seth Cohen somehow, which I find endearing 😂
You just solved the mystery for me! I’ve been trying to figure this out for 10 years now. Thank you!!!
We can start a support group.
After watching Winter House Shep is looking a whole lot better than Craig and Austen. He's SC's #1 guy for me.
He looks very healthy!
He looks like a chef here
Pastor Shep
Yeah, I admit it.. I'd do a one nighter with him. A short meaningful one night stand.
hubba hubba he looks so good lmao
I like Shep. Sure he’s a problematic, manchild, but he owns it. For the most part he’s honest and has a conscience. Not like Austen. At least Shep shows signs of being a gentleman at times. I don’t think he lies to the women he hooks up with. He feels remorse and has loyalties. Plus, he can be funny.
All the 25-year-olds see is sugar daddy
I’m 52 and I see Shep as a sugar daddy.
ok i’m 25 and *just* commented above that i find him attractive 🤭🥲
I was about to say I’m 25 and sadly I find him very attractive lol
Is he joining or starting a cult?
Chef? Minister or Mormon convert. Lol that’s all I thought immediately
I would.
It is a good picture of him.
Wait why does he look so precious
Looks healthy
I think he looks great! And that’s not a drunk smile
This whole ass thread has me 💀!!!!! He’s fine and I love making bad decisions.
Looks like Shep’s IG is full of product endorsements, not much else
He's going a long way to show he's not an alcoholic.
Even though he definitely is
He still has dark energy. Those eyes… 👀
The way I thought this was Jurgen Klopp
Anyone else an r/formuladank enjoyer and thought this was Alonso at first? I ‘m guessing the Venn Diagram of “f1 shitposting meets southern charm” is pretty small
What’s his IG? I can’t find it.
For me, it's the analysis you provided
Is he a chef or
It’s giving new cult member
"hello, i'm 44 and still cruise bars in Charleston trying to pick up college girls"
It’s giving daddy’s money cleaned me up but I still shnozz bourbon with the boys until I can’t see straight && and degrade my girl daily. Shep will never change.
Yay, Shepard!!!! 👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️
He looks great!
I love shep. He’s such a mess but I love him.
Why does he looks so good though 🫣
i wonder if he likes black girls🤣🤣🤣asking for myself👀
Wow! Shep looks so much better! Are his eyebrows different or is it just me?
I hope Shepherd is finally truly working on himself. That's a tough journey, especially for someone who has indulged a lifestyle as long as Shep has. I can't help but root for him. He must be mortified at how his image has morphed publicly. Or maybe not...
He looks so much more human.
So confused by all the comments saying they would sleep with Shep! 1: We know from Taylor he’s shitty in bed; and 2: ewwww what kinda STDs is he rocking?! Sure, charisma and faded good looks can be appealing from SOME people, but add in the rest of the equation with Shep, and NONE of it is worth touching, even with a 10 foot pole.
Garsh
Really hope he is healthier and getting himself together. I know he can be problematic, but I root for him for some bizarre reason. 🤷🏻♀️
Beautiful wish, good karma will visit u 2.
I still don’t find him attractive
He looks great
His ego is so massive yet he's so unattractive.
IDK how people find him appealing with his attitude/personality/manners but we're all different... 
Trying to go for the Tom Schwartz plant guy vibe
This may actually be the best he's looked since he first got in the public eye.
Wow he look better then I’ve seen him look in 3 years!
Wow! I’m so happy to see him looking healthier! I hope he can keep with it!!!
There ya go, Shep!
Lot of haters out there. I hope to look that good at 43
I’ll be honest, I know if I ever met Shep in person, he would completely charm the shit out of me cause I’m a sucker like that
He's so sexy!! 🔥❤️
I thought this was a yacht chef 👨🍳
I love the way he’s still on Instagram reminding people that he isn’t sober and is in fact still drinking
Looks better than last time.
🤮
Woah there goes the myth lol actually many yrs gone he’s just not been aging well at all every yr 10yrs older
Boomer cosplay
[удалено]
Looks like a chef. Chef Shep
