    Don't think its the legs that the problem. It says 'no underwear' so its probably the boxers LOL

    Really? So how come there's lots of pictures in the success thread of girls in knickers? :laugh:

    Man lets just not bring that up! We don't need less of those pics! I am fine with things not being fair

    I'm sorry - it's just a cultural issue. In America, underwear are considered "unclean". Because they usually are.

    there HAS to be a skid mark joke here somewhere, but for the life of me, i cant think of it

    Which is why I don't wear any.

    Which is why I always am first in line to spot you when you're doing a bridge.

    Hand placement is of utmost importance.

    Some people don't like legs.
    Remember, before you post something on MFP you must take some time and ask yourself: Is it possible that this will offend someone? Is it possible that someone might feel this is potentially offensive to someone else, and report you on behalf of that "someone else"?
    Think hard. Then post anyways.

    this post offends me (and everyone else in this thread).

    reported.


    :laugh: You're just offended cos the mods never noticed those legs in your profile picture and deleted you :laugh:

    Welcome. This is an internet forum for fitness. Many people here enjoy showing the progress they've made using the site. I know I sure used to.

    But just as many, if not more people here are jealous, insecure, and spiteful. They can't imagine that you'd be posting results you've earned for any other reason than to boast/sexually lure innocents/try to be a "cool kid".

    And those people win on this site every. Single. Time.

    The no to underwear but yes to skimpy bikinis rule is one reason why MFP meams MyFailPal.

    You are allowed to progress and work towards success. It's achieving success that people have problems with.

    Some of us stopped taking Alli over a year ago, thank you very much.

    But, seriously, when I see legs, GRRRRRRRR! So angry.

    once you reach your goal, you are required to leave the main forums and go live in the old folks home. Do not pass go.. do not post success stories.

    I remember a while back some guy posted a thread looking for critique on his legs - I think he was wearing shorts, but they were quite short or he had them pulled up to show his quads (that was the point of the thread after all) and he got loads of posts about how 'gross and pervy' it was and one complaining it was 'not safe for work'.

    I wondered if the person who said it wasn't safe for work worked in Kabul or somewhere similar. You'd have seen more flesh in a mens underwear ad - and they are posted on the sides of buildings etc.

    I remember that one. I posted in it saying something along the lines of "um, it's just a guy in shorts, on a fitness site. And he's not waving an erection around. chillax people." :laugh:

    My profile picture was of a girl squatting heavy, wearing shorts.

    Apparently, pictures of ladies exercising is offensive.

    Also, the mods deemed it necessary to not only remove this picture entirely from my profile, but also delete all of my PM's in my inbox.
