    I appreciate the sentiment.
    :flowerforyou:

    However, I never feel ignored by the women on my FL. I've got the best bunch of cheerleaders anyone could ask for (even if they won't wear the cute little outfits and sport the pom poms like I repeatedly asked for :tongue:)

    Oh yours don't? Looks like you've got the SECOND best group of friends!

    I told you I wouldn't wear the outfit unless you paid for my hot pants.

    Totally get the response from the guy that doens't want to come across creepy, especially when married. That would be rough. I haven't been on here in months and just started back up, so I have never even friended a guy on here, I never even thought about there being guys in here. So if you post a pic half naked at the beach, sorry I didn't get a chance to respond to your awesomeness!! But in order to post a pic like that, you already know you look awesome!

    I support both the men and women on my list equally! They all kick major @$$!


    But I love the sentiment, and if it helps make people more aware that guys need support as well as the women then cheers to that!

    I agree--Men need support too. We all joke about how much easier it is for them to lose weight, but it's still hard no matter what sex you are. Kudos--Guys!

    I'm always surprised at how much support is offered in general. I didn't really notice the male/female thing.

    I did notice a big uptick in support at >100lbs lost.

    This is clearly because it's just easier for guys to lose weight... right?

    No, really. I agree with what a previous poster said. Interaction is key. Probably the people who've been around more get a bit more attention and encouragement. I'd also wager that a lot of the comments are from friends of the people posting those NSV's or whatever.

    this thread is great for raising awareness....but I feel like much of it is just lip service until its put into practice. How about instead of railing on about how the guys on your list are awesome blah blah blah Get specific.

    Get on your friends list and find a guy that's had a big NSV or breakthrough and then Start a thread touting how great they are and the accomplishment they have made. That's what your friends list is for right? Trumpeting the victories of others?
