    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.

    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..

    Everybody on here says that but in real life...everyone is a wimp and scared lol.

    oh I know this....very well. This is why I am usually not after girls my age. just ask my friend's list :bigsmile:

    but even then, this is not your ordinary fitness site...

    I'll be honest.

    Everyone likes positive attention. It makes you feel good.

    In general:

    I'll tell ya one honest truth most women don't think about. Guys that are in great shape now, probably were not always that way, and their self image is what they were before, not what they are now. So the compliments and the flirting are the pat on the back we don't give ourselves.

    The odd part, is women on here will straight up say "hey you look great/sexy/etc" or "I bet you get all the ladies". To that I say, where the hell are you gals in real life!? Seriously, I'd rather a complete stranger come up to me and say something like "Hi, I think you look great" rather than eye rape me at the grocery store. I guess that's just the digital age for ya.

    For me personally, I want to get in shape for myself (read my profile). But would I mind it working to my advantage in real life just once? Of course, so the question I pose to you ladies (and pm me if you want since I doubt I'll read this again) why so shy in real life?

    Can't answer, I only fit two of the criterion.

    yes you can sweetheart, it says OR.
    I think a Venn diagram is in order:

    Can we make the bottom circle overlap to the right a bit more????

    *pushes up glasses*
    So more like this?

    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.

    er... I hadn't noticed. :ohwell: but then again, I only have 1/3 of the qualifying characteristics

    how funny, i was just wondering this same thing myself yesterday! i see men saying really dopey things and women clamoring to be supportive. i thought it was a bit funny!

    i also noticed there are many 18-20 year old girls on this forum, which may be a factor.

    eh, it's all in good fun though. if it gets too annoying i will just delete them

    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: .

    This makes me feel like a shlub!!! no one harasses me or ask to see my junk :brokenheart: :sad:

    And a new phrase has been coined. Eye rape. Brilliant!

    At least it's not like some of the other forums i'm a member of (car club) where the one liner that was referred to as a joke constantly in the introduce yourself thread was...

    "...Are you cute?"

    It has become such a running joke that someone made up a forum bot to automatically ask that question to every newcomers first post.

    Most of the 18 - 20 yrs olds, are more interested in eating and not working at their weight. Now that is not everybody. I think if you are here its a big start

    This is a little off topic, but sometimes when either a guy or girl says something that I think is interesting and funny on the forums... and I think, Hmm maybe Ill friend request! I look at their page and see photo after photo of the hottest people on the planet and Im like... nevermind. lol I don't think I fit in with that crowd. haha.

    Do they screen the friends based on how hot they are or do hot people just gravitate towards other hot people? I guess if that theory is correct then my friends list should be populated with dorks.

    I don't send out friend request, but I accept all of them. I'm not sure what others base their list off of but I keep mine cleaned up with those I either have common goals with or the ones who are supportive and active. I usually clean my list up every couple weeks or so. But I don't think I fall into the "hottest people" category, I can't even get some harassment or junk picture request :tongue:

    Some people really are just that shallow.

    But I think most keep their lists to people of similar interests or are genuinely working hard to get to their goals or otherwise good-hearted. But if I see someone who's stated goal is to lose weight, and they don't make an effort to change their habbits..well I'm not here to hold somebody's hand, you have to want it for yourself and if you do that IS something I can support. Otherwise, I accept everyone.

    I get a bit of attention here and it is definitely odd compared to reality.

    I accept everyone as well. I always think its a bit odd when some people have such strict criteria that must be met for all their internet friends. I do delete people who update excessively or do other annoying things on my feed. I think that's understandable though.

    LOL. This is a HILARIOUS forum.

    I told my husband about it and the guy talking about women wanting to see his "Junk".

    He said... "I'd just send them a picture of the inside of the garage and tell them well, there's my junk"

    Love that man.
