    Thank you.. I really feel the whole " Look at me, look at me, no look at me,I think I'm so sexy pay attention to meeeeee" thing is played out. I want to scream this is not a dating site! Get a room for Gods sake.

    Do you really think anyone here really thinks they're gonna get a date on this site? We're farting around and having fun. Adults can throw a little innocent flirting around and realize it doesn't mean anything, except for laughs.

    I enjoy the word games and what not just as much. I'd certainly be interested in discussing more substantial topics too.

    Begin one.

    I'm sure I'll get flamed but I just thought those threads are for fun and games...since it's under the fun and games section. Plus I guarantee you that more than half of the people on this website are not losing weight just to get healthy...they want to look good too. I see no harm in getting that validation that they have accomplished their goal of looking good.

    Given the hundreds of responses that those threads get, I'd say they aren't getting tired of them.

    This is a site where many people come to lose weight. I think that many of these people probably have low self-esteem, especially since the Western world is obsessed with being slender.

    So they go online and find others like them, and behind the anonymous computer screen they can feel good about themselves. Maybe it's something that doesn't happen when they are face-to-face with others.

    It gets obnoxious, but I say if you don't like it make your own thread. Or stay out of those threads.

    I agree....we're all adults (or we're supposed to be) and having fun - if you don't like the threads - then don't go to them. I love intense topics as much as the fun ones. The topic of children overeating and the one on how to defend against sexual assault were great - and a great exchange of information.

    Have a great day!

    Why should they have to? I don't think anyone is seriously trying to get a date anyway. Just harmless flirting; this is the fun section. Getting compliments IS fun, even if it's not all that serious. Also, I mean make a real thread, not just one complaining about the other ones.

    I honestly don't mind the "fun and games" posts. What I hate, is when I go into the other forums and am looking for help, and get 1-2 responses. Too bad I can't get a hundred plus replies about health and fitness fourm posts.

    But as far as the fun posts go, I think they are all done in fun.....although I wish people would be honest in them. I'm fairly certain that I am in fact NOT "hot" or "datable" but you'd never guess that in those threads.

    I so don't understand these whinging threads - and I don't even participate in the person above you threads.

    But I'm not tired of them - I just don't go in them- too easy, problem solved.

    Yes people are here to lose weight - or gain weight or maintain weight or get fitter, or one of those - but that doesn't meant they cant have fun while they are doing it.
    And it doesn't mean they cant discuss topics other than weight loss/gain/maintenance/fitness - especially in the chit-chat fun and games section.

    Yup. Never been in to one of those threads, but don't see the issue. OK, sure, the "Recent Posts" tab is full of them... so what? Free forum, free website... just work out which are your fav sections and pop into them instead of taking the shortcut.

    Enough people seem to use them to make me realise there's no point whinging about them, even if I was so inclined.

    Who would have thought that the Chit Chat, Fun, and games forum would have things that are off topic. Almost like it's just random chit chat, fun, and games or something.

    If everyone were 100% honest they would be interesting, but they are filled with fluff.
