    How many thread wins are there now?

    Just the one I quoted. It's the true winner.

    I don't spend much time pondering terms like MILF, but that quote helped me shape my thoughts on it. It's nice and good if men are thinking about a random woman's sex worthiness, people think and have reactions, whatever. It's more offensive to me that people feel they are entitled to share with random people that someone is sex worthy in his mind, and it's also offensive to me that women are expected to take that as a compliment. When I'm walking down the street, I actually don't want to hear your thoughts on my body and whether or not I qualify to be your sexual partner. My life was just fine and complete without your approval. If you are just dying to share your thoughts, there are much classier ways to express yourself. A smile and eye contact goes a long way and is unlikely to offend most people.

    Like. :)

    It doesn't bother me one bit. If a young hot stud wants to call me a MILF and persue me, I say go for it! I didn't feel that way before it happened to me, but now I'm all for it! LOL

    Boring, self-indulgent thread is boring and self-indulgent. Granted, it is not quite as boring as 'Chocolate covered zombie elves (questions only)' but it's certainly up there.
    In addition, your use of unnecessary commas after 'because' and the fact that you have started a sentence with the word 'and' tell me you are not quite as smart as you purport to be or indeed as clever as you would like people to imagine you are.
    I will conclude by saying that your half-face photos are as ridiculous as the infamous duckface pictures teenage girls are wont to take.


    Winner winner chicken dinner and of course I mean organic skinless broiled with a pinch of salt, steamer veggies & brown rice chicken dinner.After all, this is MFP :tongue:

    without having read ALL the comments above... and putting myself at risk of reiterating another's remarks (sorry) ....

    IMHO .......
    I would be offended if a person (male or female) of any age approached me and felt it appropriate to inform me that I am someone they would like to f***.
    It is rude.
    I would Never assume that it would be complimentary or flattering to come out to a person and say that.... So, why then is it socially acceptable to use an acronym to do essentially that?

    I personally find the term "cougar" offensive as its implication is a predator seeking a meal... a woman over 40 surely has many options, she is not required to 'prey on the younger, more naive" of the species to feed her needs!! Get over yourselves boys! LOL

    the men who use the term "MILF" would probably sleep with any woman,regardless of her looks. Being a ' mom' in the context of 'milf' suggests it's a reason NOT to sleep with a woman...otherwise, why mention the word mom or mother?


    I'm not a woman, but if I was, I'd find it pretty vulgar to be referred to as a 'MILF'.

    I find it offensive. It means that women are still judged by how they look and what they wear rather than what they do or say, which is what has always mean that women get less pay and less power in society. I dont want men to look at me and think they'd like to f**k me and I certainly wouldnt see that as a compliment, more a sympton of the flawed way in which they see me as a woman - Not as a politician, a manager, an entrepreneur, a mother - but someone they'd like to f**k.
    yup...

    Listed under one of my "Reasons for Wanting to get into shape" =


    I want to have a baby soon. I don't want to start trying until I am as fit and healthy as possible, so that I can continue being healthy and fit throughout the pregnancy and after!
    I want to be a MILF! :-P

    I get that it's a compliment, used in the right context. Mostly, I think it shows a lack of respect. Honestly, I hate the word that the F stands for. I'm sure part of it's a generational thing - I'm 55 yrs old. To me it shows a lack of intelligence - a lack of a larger vocabulary.

    I'm just sayin'.....
    So, would "Mathriarchal female whom I am interested in exchanging sexual pleasures with" be more appealing? :laugh:


    Yikes!! ummm... NO! LOL :laugh:
    It's just barely a step up from "you're hot and I'd like to *kitten* you" It's all the same this - crass and disrespectful.

    Dear Posters,

    I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread.

    The forum guidelines include this item:

    HA! Take your pick from the following link, I think practically every guideline has been breached!

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/welcome/guidelines

    But I'll choose this one as the most obvious...

    1. No Attacks or Insults and No Reciprocation

    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.

    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.

    Personal attacks will not be tolerated, users have got off lightly in this thread due to my own time constraints and message allowance limitations.

    At our discretion, this locked thread may be deleted entirely in the near future.

    With respect,
