Well I feel somewhat qualified to speak on this subject. But please don't think I'm bragging.
It's.. odd. For a number of reasons.
For me personally it's tough because I've never been in shape before. I've gone from being a life long fat guy to looking alright and the attention isn't something I'm used to. So that's an adjustment.
Really most of it is all harmless fun that I'm sure every guy really enjoys. Nothing like a little ego boost. But some women can be quite aggressive. That's the part that's shocking and off-putting.
I've had women demand pictures of my junk and when I told them no they were mad at me.
I've had women demand I send them certain body pics or they'd delete me from their friends list.
Basically all the things you ladies think only the creepiest of creepy dudes would do, ladies do as well. And women are not accustomed to being told "no" the way men are. So if they face rejection they don't always handle it well. Some get quite angry.
So while the attention can be very nice and incredibly motivating, it's when it crosses the line from flirtation to harassment that things get awkward.
That being said if any of you wonderful women who harass me stop at any point I will be :brokenheart: and :sad: .
Definitely well put, very true.0 -

How many times do I have to explain? I said clock! I wanted a photo of your clock. Geezzz. One little typo!0 -
Well I've been using MFP far longer than I've been active in the forum, so I'm not here for attention. I also never really had problems with attracting women, so I'm kind of used to it. But I wont say I dont like it, because of course i do. Even if it is annoying sometimes.0

Don't ask Brett for pictures of his junk. Got it. 0 -
I will preface this by saying that personally I don't see myself as attractive. I have been overweight for the majority of my life and I always felt invisible to the opposite sex. However, I will say I have gotten some attention via this website and it is indeed odd and new to me. Honestly, I generally feel like people are just being nice or something (I feel weird being complimented on my appearance). But that's just me I guess.0

I find it rather refreshing to see all these women flirt with the cut guys. I find it motivational. Keep it up ladies of MFP you could be inspiring someone on this site without even knowing it.

^This! I've been a bigger guy my whole life and now that I look somewhat presentable I don't know how to handle attention from the opposite sex.0 -
i'm nowhere near where i want to be body wise, im fairly attractive and while the 175 IQ doesnt make one swoon i admit i do bask in the attention a little bit, even though eventually you have to logout and go back to reality where women only stare or put me in the friend zone0
-
I generally get ignored. I guess its because I don't have a shirtless picture. Or I could just be fugly. I have a 150 IQ but let's be honest here, that doesn't count for much in a forum like this.
This is true. Especially in the "sexy above you thread". People will skip 3 or 4 people back just to say "Abs" lol
Every time I post in the sexy above you I get told I have a great personality and a nice voice.0 -
At least you didn't get "sexy bike" like I did.I generally get ignored. I guess its because I don't have a shirtless picture. Or I could just be fugly. I have a 150 IQ but let's be honest here, that doesn't count for much in a forum like this.

The harassment....the flirting..Thong Thursday, Boobie Friday, it's really too much, just too much....<dripping with sarcasm>0
-
Especially those of well devoloped muscles, boyish smiles, or sexy sexy brains.
Is it ODD to be an attractive member of society on a site like this, which is mostly women?
Sometimes I think you guys get more attention than a drunk prom queen after the dance.
It's quite amusing to see the tables turned.
I guess I qualify with the smile. My muscles are ehhhh . . . Most don't know me for my brains, (although they are sexy, I've seen them), I thought I was entitled to a comment here.
It would be odd, and welcomed. The only drunk prom queen I knew was my sister and although I do love her, I don't love her like that! :laugh:
Who's getting attention in here? You mean the wanna-be thugs who are tatted up with their pants down, and boxers out?! smh0 -
Come on guys, you all love the attention and you know it. The truth is we ( the MFP girls ) dont need the shirtless pics we just LIKE them. And for you guys with the high IQs, nobody said smart wasnt sexy. We like the attention too.0

Actually, not posting a beefcake pic for me is about not wanting to be objectified. I've always fought labels. There are many forces in life that continue to try to put you in a box. It didn't end in high school. If you ask the cool people, I'm too nerdy. If you ask the nerds, I'm too normal. If you ask the hipsters, I'm too boring. If you ask the rednecks, I'm too urban. If you ask the yuppies, I'm too frugal. I've always found myself at odds with all groups because they all have their own rules and entrance fees...rules I refuse to obey and entrance fees I refuse to pay.Come on guys, you all love the attention and you know it. The truth is we ( the MFP girls ) dont need the shirtless pics we just LIKE them. And for you guys with the high IQs, nobody said smart wasnt sexy. We like the attention too.
I would never fit the beefcake role no matter how defined my abs were, so why further partake in false advertising by pretending.? I would be a poser both figuratively and literally.0 -
It's pretty damn amazingly awesome actually.
I quite enjoy it. Especially because women are never like this in real life. Ever. Even when extremely intoxicated.0 -

I met a lot of cool people on here I have male and female friends, everyone is very positive, i do like the compliments, I year ago I would have never posted a shirtless picture of me, feeling good about the way my body is coming along and the compliments are just fuel for the fire0

Do I like it? Sure.....but I never ever believe it. When you're fat for so long it destroys your ego and it makes any compliment seem hollow. Its not the complimenters fault though...im the one mentally ill lol.0
-
Whatever man said they don't like a little ego boost every once in awhile... He used to be a woman. It's in our nature to crave attention.0

I enjoy the fun flirting. Met some awesome women on here.0

As Stewie Griffin, I bring none of the goods. Maybe after my 90 day naked challenge...0

Is it Oppositional Defiant Disorder?!....................0

That's what you think.
They're just un-dressing you with their eyes and telling their friends what you look like naked.0 -
although I currently resemble a meathead, I soon will be just like my profile pic (though I'm much more muscular in my upper body now, particularly my back)...a PhD with a six pack.
Got about 10 pounds of fat to lose to see the abs.0 -

maybe not the little girls you would be after at your age.. but a real woman knows what she wants and how to get it..
She has no problem telling a man what she thinks good or bad... Just have some patience..0 -
You're right, they aren't. And that's why I find it so fascinating.It's pretty damn amazingly awesome actually.
