Many many many people on this site, me included, are emerging from years of neglect, self-doubt, and even self-loathing, which is intimately tied to our physicality. It is only as we get further along and start to gain confidence that we start to think that hmmm, maybe, just possibly, we might be of interest to someone else.
The internet affords a safety buffer that allows people to act in a way that maybe they'd like to but are scared to risk IRL. It's kind of a dress rehearsal for being sexy IRL.
And the impetus for many people getting off their butts and hitting the fitness thing is a failing marriage. After the divorce, as the dust settles, we are going to want to connect with new people. That often starts with catching someone's eye, and often it takes a series of steps to increase the self-confidence.
Nothing at all to do with showing well-toned abs. Congrats to all who have that. It's the suggestive ones I'm asking about.
Exactly why I'm asking the need. I'm not sending them to damnation.
Add to that the fact that people on here make INCREDIBLE transformations, and DESERVE recognition. A lot of the results are simply NOT VISIBLE when fully clothed. Getting abs is HARD. Having toned legs or a shapely rear is HARD. Building muscle is HARD. Why do you post you're kid's report card on the fridge? Because you're PROUD. People deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication, and more than that they serve as an inspiration to others not quite as far down the path.
There is room for everyone's outlooks on life in this world. Those that want to be demure, can. Those that want to flaunt it, can. Everyone should keep their judgmental opinions to themselves, IMO, and live and let live. It's not hurting you. Frankly, I'm amazed at how tempered the response to your judgment has been (so far).0 -

Can I top off your drink Minxy? That's rum and diet coke right?
GET OFF HER LAWN!!!
No vodka and diet Pepsi thanks. Very kind. Can I borrow your outfit - would fit my left leg perfectly. :laugh:

You have to make sure you type outside the quoted text or no one will understand you.0

IN! For judging crotch shots!
OP: why do you care? Or, were you simply trying to get all of the people who post scintillating profile pics into one thread, for easier creeping? Because that would be genius.0 -

Where did I judge them???? I just wondered why they felt the need to show sexy pics. I am not talking about well-toned bodies - not at all - bring them on!0 -

Grrrrrrrrrreat! That leaves all the diet coke and rum for ME!0 -
I feel sorry for those that find their bodies repulsive or the idea of sex so repulsive that they have to judge others for loving themselves.
Maybe it's religion. Maybe it's upbringing. But I really don't see that as healthy.0 -
Why do some of you feel the need to show sexy/suggestive photographs?
Ok, so I admit I'm old, but I would never have felt the need to do that, when I was young and attractive.
It is a health and fitness site!!!
I see you with your shoulder cutouts and come hither stare, cocktail in hand...don't play coy, OP.0 -
IN! For judging crotch shots!
I don't care!!! I like a nice crotch but a time and place for everything. IMO!

Now that is a bartender who can get more than just the tip.0 -

Maybe it's religion. Maybe it's upbringing. But I really don't see that as healthy.
Believe me, I'm no prude. Just a time and place for everything. I keep saying I am NOT talking about well-toned bodies here - I think most of you have missed the point and don't understand what photo's made me ask the question.0 -

Time and place for everything? Why not here and now? Or are we all here for the same reason?
There is only one person on this planet that you can control, and many people have trouble even getting that far.
Learn to focus more on you and less on everyone else. Life is a hell of a lot more pleasant that way.0 -

To the member who thought I was on melt down - the answer is NO but I can't reply to every post and nor do I have I the inclination. I'm afraid that I have a life and am now getting ready to go out and have a drink or two. All accounted for, of course!
Have a lovely evening, morning, afternoon wherever you are.0 -
You have to make sure you type outside the quoted text or no one will understand you.
Thank you! I'm getting so confused.
BTW - I so want to post some really suggestive pictures, but it isn't worth it. I'd get the "time out" and Mrs. McJudgerson would just go on her merry sad way. :grumble:0 -
