Man asks woman to pose in her bathing suit - but her brother steps up instead

When the going gets tough, it's important to know that your siblings have you back - particularly if you're being harassed by strangers online.

But one brother went the extra mile when leaping to his sister's defense, and donned one of her swimsuits when she was asked by a Facebook user to model it for them.

According to a recent report by BoredPanda, the trouble began back in June of 2017, when Tess Wright, a physical education teacher at Calhoun school in the state of Georgia, took to Facebook to sell an old bathing suit costume which she no longer wanted.

In the comments, one person (who has gone unidentified in Tess' subsequent post) commented in the thread on the swimsuit: "Any pics of it being worn to see what it looks like before buying it?"

However, Tess' brother Kade quickly helped by donning the strappy bikini and modeling it himself. Kade even struck some flamboyant poses for his photoshoot, and Tess posted the pics of her brother as a response to the original comment.

Tess then shared the hilarious exchange on Facebook, and captioned the post:

"So, I'm selling a bathing suit on Facebook yard sale and a man comments and ask me if he can see a picture of it being worn before buying...

"Of course I was going to ignore the comment but Kade just couldn't resist.. #Brothersarethebest #BikiniBoy. [sic]"

Plenty of people on social media clearly appreciated Kade's magnanimous gesture of brotherly love, and Tess' post quickly went viral, accruing over 26,000 likes and more than 25,000 shares.

In the comments, one amused Facebook user wrote: "Why didn’t he use any of these as his profile picture??? [sic]" Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "This made my whole day."

So there you have it. Although I'm not sure every brother out there would be willing to model a swimsuit instead of their sister, it clearly takes a lot of chops to do so. Would you be able to do the same thing for your sibling?

Let us know in the comments if you think that your sibling would be up to the challenge!
