    The simplist answer is the logical one.

    To post progress pics that are not banned an upper torso one is about all there is.
    For ladies that included their chest area.

    Stop over thinking it b

    not snarky, genuinely curious.

    If you've never experienced curiosity then... well.. hmm.

    Okay then, I can speak for the reason I have my bicep picture up (even if you calling me a bro is odd).

    I have worked hard for my arm muscles. I am proud of them. I have lost quite a bit of weight and am beginning to see definition in the arms that I have worked so hard for. That large weight loss has caused loose skin everywhere, including on my arms, which though shrinking is clearly visible in my bro pic. I decided to not buy into my self critical thinking pattern and to put up that picture anyway. Apparently, in doing so I gained a penis. Though that may have some benefits (much easier when camping/hiking/writing in snow), it may cause my spouse dismay. Or it may not, we'll find out.

    Because when people post photos of their genitals, they are deleted by the moderators. HTH.

    For some reason, honestly, any guy who has the--implied nudity hip to neck shot of the six pack and pecks...with no face in the picture...yeah, Anthony Weiner, I can listen to anything your creeper fingers type. Yup...sorry.

    Is it because females in particular have never felt wanted and WANT to be objectified on MFP? I feel like once a female becomes a bro... arm flexing and boob pictures get uploaded ASAP.

    Not complaining... I like boobs and fitness, but I think it's making MFP creepier than it needs to be.

    Well, I'm flexing and showing my bum but I don't want to be objectified. I'm showing the results of a lot of hard work.

    Three years ago, I wasn't exactly happy about my back fat rolls, cellulite and flabby arms. But I thought, "Hey, you're in your late 30s. This is what late 30s looks like." I've never been so happy to be wrong. :smile: I'm 41 now and thrilled with what all that hard work has done to me.

    Plus, at this stage of the game, I give advice more than I ask for it. If I'm going to be giving advice, I think it's only fair that I show what I following my own advice did.

    if i had big boobs i'd probably be proud of them too. Just like all the shirtless men with abs. *shrug*

    GOT DAMN! Who needs big boobs when you got a body like that.

    It was just that one time that I posted that photo. Are you ever going to stop mentioning it? :grumble:
