    A woman can be skinny AND curvy. Because of the side view on the woman on the left, I can't tell if she's curvy or not.

    I also take it that that are not your own abs in your profile pic; because if you are in that good of shape ...you do not need to be here.

    It's MyFITNESSPal, not MyWeightLossPal. There are plenty of people who are fit and have goals for themselves that have every right to be here just the same as you.
    ps: the woman on the right will be a "tub of lard" in about 10-years.

    Totally unnecessary and untrue.

    This is a very poor "fitness app" ...and a most-excellent "weight-loss app". People have every right to be anywhere they want on the internet, including here. So far be it from me to have given you the impression that I am not an equal-rights person. However, if you are looking to get "toned", I can recommend several other site that have fitness as a focus, and will be far more beneficial. Fit people on this site are either made-up profiles, or just looking to feel better about themselves among us that are overweight, and serious about trying to do something about it. What do you want them to call the app ..."stopeatingsomuchyoucowPal.com"? it is called 'marketing', and it a first-semester course at any college or university. So when "pregosaurus rex" delivers and comes to more-closely resemble the "barney" she watches on the tele; because there is not enough time in the day to be a mom, work in the home, and work out of the home ...you will more-better understand and appreciate my comments ...and this site.

    pps: Sorry about the "do" comment and it's lack of class ...but obviously you do not understand sarcasm. It seems like today, an emoticon smiley has taken the place of prose. Also, just because I am realistic about my (and other people's) looks, does not mean I do not appreciate a nice body. The one on the right is completely fake. That back-side is as large as mine without the surgery and weight-lifting. She has not truly-used a soccer field since she had those implants. So all of you ladies that are upset and posting because of another shallow-male thread ...you are right ...but perhaps the initial-poster is more honest, and you are the ones that are "shallow"?

    Let me ask you something.

    How do you think the fit people here got fit? By NOT tracking their diet, perhaps?

    Not with the same frequency, absolutely not. These "what do men prefer" threads are LITERALLY twice a week events. If it's not desperate women asking men what they like, it's other guys asking. And then we get called insecure because we take issue with it. Which is really another form of shaming on its own.
    It comes down to attraction. Men and women are different. Generally speaking, men are hard wired to physical attraction. Asking a man to act differently is absurd. By the same token, I know several women who are attracted to money, social status, careers in a mate. If men are shallow for being attracted by looks then women in their selections too.

    BTW, these same friends went on and on for months about going to see Magic Mike.

    "Asking a man to act differently is absurd."

    I'm not asking men to not be attracted to attractive women. That's not what's up for discussion here. I'm wondering why we have to break these women down to their parts every damn week. You've missed the point by a mile, friend.

    You're also operating with hugely generalized stereotypes. Know lots of women who are gold-diggers who obsess too much over Magic Mike? Cool, might be time to get some new friends. I'm talking about things that are readily observable on this site.

    Reasons why I like this site as a fitness app:
    1) Great friends list with people that have similar goals.
    2) Food diary - because logging your food matters whether you want to lose weight, gain or maintain. Also, it takes into consideration macros.
    3) Forums, great social aspect (when people aren't being idiots) Has groups, a wall for posts on your profile. A little like FB but IMO much better / has more likeminded people.

    I've seen a couple of other sites, but I still prefer MFP. I use Fitocracy to log my workouts, but that's about it.

    Your assumption about fit people on here is completely wrong. There is much much more to logging food and interacting with others on a fitness website, than pure weight loss. I have maintained on this site, gained weight (purposefully) and used it when I just plain want to get stronger! I'm not a made-up profile, and nor do I wish to feel better than others! We all have different goals, and I'll support anyone.

    Also, your comment to PregasaurusRex was extremely rude and uncalled for. Who says you can't be a mum, and work both inside and outside the home. There are plenty of people that do! If you want something enough (fitness/dream body....) then you can get it, even if it's a little harder than for others in different circumstances!

    I didnt miss anything. You turned this into a man vs women thing with your comment. My point is yes men can be shallow but women are shallow too.

    So stupid.

    You're blasting people for being healthy and in good shape, as if out of jealousy.
    People that are in shape, then decide to use this, like myself may have never worried about nutrition before. But now want to as it is of course very beneficial! Not just to 'out of shape' unhealthy people.

    Never did any such thing. I placed as much of the blame for these dumb threads on women as much as on men. Go back and read. If you read men vs. women into it, it's because you wanted to. You were the one that inexplicably brought up women who date for money. Sounds like you have a history there. Perhaps a little resentment.

    Your argument is basically that "Women do bad stuff so it's ok if I do bad stuff." Wow, what an ethical, not to mention logical, train of thought.

    At 17, I became a single mother. I kept my home clean, was in college full time, held a job, made good grades and cared for my baby, all while also managing a decent social life and time for exercise.

    I have never understood women who can't manage both motherhood and life. Or do you just want people to feel sorry for you?

    @ Pregosaurus: WTF was THIS person's deal? What sand got in their vag*na?

    Were they seriously trying to infer that every woman who has a child is automatically a "barney", and will never lose weight or have time to make it to the gym? :laugh: :laugh: If they could be so kind as to refer to my profile pic....

    1. I am a fit person, thin and healthy, I do not need this site to feel better about myself.
    2. Pregosaurus rex MAKES the time to continue to workout while pregnant and will continue to do so after delivering because it's a priority in her life. Insulting her just makes me think YOU are the one that hasn't made it important in your life to remain fit and healthy.

    I am a fit person who is using this site to hopefully drop some body weight, and make sure I eat enough protein to sustain the lifting I do. I also find the social aspect entertaining and have met several "good friends" here.

    I started using this site about 1.5 years ago when I was had some post pregnancy weight to lose. MANY mothers find time to mother, work, clean, AND BE HEALTHY.

    erm I think everybody copes with motherhood differently and it's not clear cut, luckily it worked out for you being a single mother but not everyone is in YOUR situation...don't mean to cause offence think its great it worked out, just saying everyone/mother is different and in different places in their lives. Until you're in that situation it may be difficult to understand (speaking as someone who's grown up in a family full of women and majority of those are single mothers - haven't had children myself but I understand how some of these women struggle/can't manage motherhood and a life )

    it depends, which has longer legs, which has a better butt, which has better boobs, which is taller, which is better at sandwich production and which is the most fond of beer and bacon?

    Also I need how much they squat, deadlift and bench.

    I squat 200lbs, bench 125(though I started with only the bar) and deadlift 125 as well...(I may not look it but I am a damn strong woman). I actually have done a fireman's carry with my brother who weighs 235lbs....it impressed him...and I impressed myself...

    I am working on increasing my weight lifting capabilities...Though there was a time when I was afraid of them...not anymore. I love how strong I feel after lifting.

    Let me ask you something.

    How do you think the fit people here got fit? By NOT tracking their diet, perhaps?

    Point understood and valid. However, if you are truly fit, then you need to start measuring specific intake and frequency. You also need to rotate supplements and such. O2 consumption, sleep-schedules, etc.. You need to perform specific weight-work, and balance it with the diet ...none of which this site is truly designed for. Those people have moved 'beyond' this site. Congrats to them (and you if you are part of this group), I am certainly jealous. So I stand behind my previous comment.

    I am just trying to alert people to posts that could be more "sales" than truth.

    As to my preference ...my boss is 44-years of age ...weighs about 80lbs ...lucky to be 4.5 feet in height ...has no breast-protrusion of any kind. She seriously wears children's-sized clothing. Yet, to me, she is the most magnificent specimen of a woman that I have ever seen. She is a decorated marathon-runner (only starting at age 38), watches what she eats. A quarter would embed into the ceiling if you bounced it off of her stomach or buttocks; so clearly my taste more fits the one on the left. Yet I would not ignore any advance by the one on the right ;)

    Neither. The "skinny" girl has a smaller rack than I do and the "curvy" girl's hips and booty are going to resemble a Mack truck in about 5 years.
