I posted a thread earlier, titled "Girls With Muscles". it talked about my preferences. how I thought girls with some muscle tone are attractive.
thats when the raging posters flew in, pretty much insinuating that i am a sexist for thinking that muscles are only a male attribute, and pretty much saying i'm being demeaning to women. I dont understand that, honestly. I was just stating what I like, and I even said in the post "i even like girls who don't have muscles"..
Anyways, the point of THIS thread is to apologize to everyone for the misunderstanding and to let you all know that I posted the thread with good intentions.
Someone told me the Road to hell is paved with good intentions, and that's a good quote.
This isn't a thread complaining about being "attacked" or "belittled".. it's a genuine apology, from me, to all of you that I offended.
That's all. thank you.

While that's true, i am a people pleaser. if I feel that i have upset or offended anyone, I will do my best to make things right. Even if I wasn't in the wrong.0

I didn't take that message away from your original post at all. Happy day!:drinker:0

Happy day to you too!0

You'll need a tougher skin if you plan on sticking around here for awhile.
Those people were overreacting.0 -
Don't worry about it. It was very nice the way you quickly apologized once you realized you may have offended some. People around here can be pretty sensitive and are quick to judge. Just brush it off.0

Don't worry dude, I took it in the spirit with which it was intended... there are enough real d-bags in the world without worrying about your slightly misguided wording0

Happy day to you too!

I saw your original post, and I didn't see anything wrong with what you said. I'm a female, I have little muscles, under fat though, working on that. :laugh:0

I wasn't offended, don't really understand why some people were, you weren't a 'sexist pig' in any way that I could see. Just keep doing what you're doing, there's always gonna be someone out there that has issues with ANYTHING.0

Thanks for clearing that up.0

Don't take it personally. People like to fly off the handle if you give them any opportunity.
It's fun. :drinker:0 -

this exactly!! I even posted a personal pic for you0 -
Thanks for the apology, even though there were good intentions, it comes off very wrong. You like women with or without muscles, so I didn't understand what you point was.0

Trolls will be trolls, you are fine0

I didn't see anything offensive with your original post. People take things way too seriously. Don't even worry about it. You did nothing wrong.0

You can please some of the people some of the time but, you can't please all of the people all of the time :-) besides there was nothing sexist or demeaning in the original post..... It's all good!!! :drinker: Cheers0 -
