    *crickets*

    Strange. People had SO much to say when they were criticizing her body.. they defended themselves and said they have every right to state their preference...

    It's almost like they were giant hypocrites who live to trash someone else but could never handle it themselves....

    yeah i couldn't handle it myself which is why i do not post pics of myself. so what? if you post pics and hold it up as the ideal you're going to get criticism.

    An MFP user Matt_Wild posted some excellent progress pictures of his fiance. I read every single response. And while the majority of the responses were supportive. There were more than a few criticisms of her body. Mainly stating 'I wouldn't want to look like that...no offense'.

    So here is my proposal. I challenge anyone on this site that felt the need to make that statement, to post your bikini photos here and see just how many people out there would want to look like you. Not only that. I feel that if you can dish it out, you should be able to take it.

    Any takers?

    nah, i'm free to comment on pics posted that are open to crticism without posting pics of myself. sorry, disagree with this.

    Oh good...it's Positive Polly!

    And you're still stuck on that "ideal" thing, I see...no one told you it should be your ideal.. And clearly you have a problem with a beautiful body obtained through hard work being an ideal. Ok then.

    You freely admit you couldn't handle others making the kinds of comments on your body that you made about someone else.

    And you wonder why you're coming across so poorly?

    I didn't see the thread but let me guess, it was women posting rude/offensive/insensitive comments about her body, right?

    I see. So it's okay for you to criticize others, but can't possibly subject yourself to the same speculation. Well how about at least putting up pictures of bodies that you aspire to because I really can't fathom why Matt's fiance's body was not acceptable to you.

    I don't recall the OP posting pics to ask for criticism. I think he was posting them to prove a point about what works and doesn't'.

    Okay... but the post wasn't about her boobs... it was about why lifting is good for a woman's body... or did you not get past her breasts?
