in Introduce Yourself
Why do I keep seeing posts like "Have you secretly crushed on the person above you" or "Name something you like about the previous poster"

Isn't this a fitness board!?

    If you are on your computer you can hide the chit chat board.

    There's a little gear by the board names that will give you the option to unfollow.

    Those posts you see are in the "Chit-Chat fun and games" section of the forums. If you don't like them, please do not participate.

    To answer your question, yes, you are hot, hot potato
    Thank you!

    First impressions, no. You don't seem too fun to be around, but I could be wrong!

    Get that stick out of your *kitten*, and realize that fitness is easier when it's fun. People who take themselves too seriously are generally doomed to fail. Just stay out of the Chit-Chat forums if nothing else and may the fitness odds be ever in your favor!

    That was totally unnecessary. I find most of the chit chat threads repetitive, attention/validation seeking drivel. Which is why I stay out of it. I don't, for the record, have a stick up my bum and I've never been accused of taking myself too seriously.

    OP, like others have said, you can hide that forum completely. Or you can jump on over there and find out how bangable you are. Your call.

    thank you. I will avoid it over there

    Believe it or not some people who have had issues with their body seek validation for very good reason.
    Some people just like to particpate.
    There are a lot of reasons people are attracted to those threads (and there seem to be a lot of people who are since they tend to be the most popular).
    If it is for you, jump in and participate. If it isn't, scroll by. Or, apparently, you can now ignore.

    I never said needing validation was a bad thing - I do sometimes, I'm sure most people do. I just don't think those threads are a genuine or a good way to get that validation. My opinion.

    I have nothing against people that enjoy the chit chat forums, nor do I find all the threads over there drivel (which is why I said most, not all). It's just not my cup of tea.

    I did take exception to someone who claimed that not liking that particular forum meant that someone had a stick up their butt and was "doomed to fail". Especially in the intro forum.

    I agree. I also don't partake but don't feel like I have a stick. Well , you know where.
