While this site is awesome for diet, nutrition, fitness, and overrall good health, it is also highly sexually charged. When I was single I enjoyed all the flirting, but now that I'm in a great relationship I can only think that any of it would get me into trouble. I recently came back to use MFP (it's almost summer ya know), but I removed all my shirtless pics, and all my friends. I'm not worried about my gf getting mad at me, but I don't want her thinking I'm flirting online for validation and attention.

So, I know I'm not the only one in a relationship here, and I'm sure plenty that are still post provocative pictures and flirt and all that, and hey, thats your prerogative, I'm not going to pass judgment. But I'm curious what y'alls boyfriends/girlfriends feelings on the subject are?

    My Husband knows how much this site has helped me, he is glad that I found it. I put a picture of my legs and bum (I was wearing underwear) up the other day as I have been squatting and I'm proud of what I have achieved, none of the guys on my friends list are creepy but it still made him feel uneasy, he spoke to me about it and I took it down.

    I don't want to make him feel that way and I can understand why he didn't like it.

    I don't flirt on here or try to chat guys up, we are all on here for the same reason and that is to better ourselves and our assets, it's only normal we would want to show them off to our friends on here.

    I can't say that I'm exactly in the same boat - I haven't reached the point yet where I would be comfortable posting pics of myself in a bikini or underwear or anything like that. But my boyfriend is very supportive of me using this site - he knows that I troll the forum and talk to random people, and he's not the slightest bit threatened by it. When I eventually do put on a bikini - I'm totally posting pics. And I won't be taking them down :)

    My wife is on here too. Neither of us has a problem with the other flirting, chatting or messaging. She does a lot better than me, though, imagine that. lol :laugh:

    I just hide it from her.

    I also choose not to tell all the ladies on my friends list that I'm married with 3 kids.

    He thinks I'm badass and sexy, so he doesn't really care what I do on here. I don't ever flirt on here anyway. That's not my thing.

    He thinks I waist too much time on here, but he's liked the influence this site has had on my life so he doesn't complain. He did get a little werided out by a post I made that had like 6 shirtless lean men reply in a row (it was about protein powder). But he was just a little weird due to his own insecurities. He didn't get mad or jealous or anything. I also make sure not to flirt or do anything inappropriate .

    He likes it. He enjoys hacking into my account and ogling all the man candy in my collection.

    My wife refers to you all as my "mfp internet *kitten*."

    So I guess she is just so-so about it.

    My hubby hates how much time I spend with my face in the MFP app on my iPod but otherwise doesn't say much about it.

    My husband thinks I am obsessed with it and laughs when I scan all my food before eating. Other than that, he is extremely happy with our weight loss, I have lost 2 pounds since starting to loose again and he is down 10! He is down 10 just by being forced to eat whatever I am making, imagine if I could get him to work out too!
