    A woman should be able to express her opinion, - without being called names, insulted, degraded or ridiculed for it. However I believe that there are some foreign countries where that isn't still allowed, I believe they also still stone people to death in those countries.

    A woman can Have her picture be whatever she chooses within forum guidelines/rules/EULA. - The responsibility to Your and I emphasize the word "Your" reaction to it, is Not her responsibility.

    Also why is this thread still open? It contains some pretty harsh stuff that isn't joking.
    You can put all the pictures you want up. Guys are going to comment and some of them think they are honestly just being nice by calling you beautiful/gorgeous/whatever. The problem is you get the "creepers", as a friend of mine put it, that are 10+ years older than someone and come across as, well, creepy. Hard to distinguish which is which. May as well control what you can and either ignore the PMs or complain to Mike if it's harassing. Other than that, if you put a picture up then sadly you run the risk of drawing attention of someone you don't want it from.

    (There really should be a psychological study of this website.)

    lol I hear you! I'll get what seem to be nice messages from guys on here and a few messages in, it'll turn into, "btw, LOVE that bikini pic... could I see some more?" that's when I pull out the "I LIVE with my BOYFRIEND" card. They always say "I'll leave you alone, sorry" I always picture a dog cowering in the corner, hahahaha!

    3. Men are animals and will respond to pics in suits as such :)

    Would it be too much to ask that you alter that to say that SOME men are animals... Or do you actually believe that ALL men, including your husband and sons (future sons), are nothing more than animals with no ability to control themselves? Some of us do have morals and character you know.

    What better place to pick up women then on a website where women are already self conscious and want to hear from a guy tell them how beautiful and amazing they are? I give it 10 years. If you are still single you will be on all those flirty threads on here looking for attention.

    I have no place to judge. I'm simply just saying that's how I perceive things on here. You might be declining the friend request but there are 5 other girls who are accepting it from the same guy.

    Is this REALLY how you feel about the women on MFP? How insulting. I haven't been here that long, but most of the women I've seen are pretty amazing and don't need a man to validate that. (Of course I have seen a few uptight women with no sense of humor, but I choose to ignore.)
    Do I think all women on here are self conscious and crave attention? No, not all, and probably not most. But there are some and there are people that will take advantage of that. Of course it's not just limited to the gals but it seems that the thread is aimed that way. Hell I was self conscious and craved attention at one time. Got me into a lot of trouble...

    So what is your Username on Match.com?








    LoL, jk! I am happily married but I couldn't resist! Sorry you are having that issue nothing I have to worry about but maybe you can clear some air.

    It may be crass and controversial, but it also has elements of truth.........

    :noway: Unbelievable :noway:
    ... Because of the truth to it? It's not to call women pathetic. It's to say that there are a majority of women on this site and many people feel insecure about themselves and possibly have been called horrible things in the past. So to hear nice things from someone can be refreshing and cause them to act on impulse. Whoops, hate to consider that women might be human ...

    I get the feeling that some women would have it that men were not allowed to express their opinions, whether it be in this thread or in private.

    Not that I, of course, find it appropriate that people should be picking up on one another in a perverse manner, but seriously, I've read some whack **** from chicks in my activity feed that has gotten them deleted. I really dislike the predominant attitude that only men are creeps. I've noticed a lot of creep dudes in the forums (who I COULD name but choose not to ... *kitten* ...), but there's a fairly equal number of creeper chicks.

    stupid ****ing double-post ...
  • I don't see it why it needs to come down to being a creep or not. If attention is unwanted then it's quite simple: ignore, if they still persist then block and unfriend.

    I've had a couple of flirty conversations on here (not in the public arena), it doesn't make me a creep LOL!! Nor am I depraved or dangerous, the guy I had the conversations with isn't either :-/

    People are incredibly sexist and even more precious about MFP, people will interpret a website, and it's users, how they wish. This generic view that you are wrong or right to partake in anything but "good job" comments is bull****.

    Yours faithfully,

    Creepy MFPer :-p

    But you know what REALLY kills me? When I'm trolling around match.com and some chick PM's me telling me she just burned 543 calories doing 55 minutes of cardio. I mean, who the hell cares, I'm there to get laid, not to hear about your damn calorie burn!

    Brilliant!

    Parts of this thread has given me a badly needed mid-week laugh :laugh:

    Agree...some of the women are just as bad as the men.

    I apologize if my comments were rude in any way.

    I would like to point out however that there has been 1 couple that I know of that actually got married because of meeting and getting to know eachother on MFP.

    And there have been others that have formed real life relationships, so perhaps that is why this thread is getting so much attention.

    And I have to agree with Carl, it may not have been the OP's intention but there was a bit of a 'finger wagging' element to the post. Not saying that anyone should attack but I think that the "mean" comments can be reported but it seems that if there is any DISAGREEMENT then people call for a thread to be pulled.

    What happened to differing opinions??

    Basically: "Oh boo! I'm so pretty! I hate that boys hit on me. BUT I WANT ALL THEIR ATTENTION SO I'M GOING TO POST A THREAD ABOUT IT! But don't liiiiike meeeee."
  • No I will not make out with you. Did ya hear that? this girl wants to make out with me in the middle of class. You got Chlorophyll Man up there talking about God knows what and all she can talk about is making out with me. I'm here to learn, everybody, not to make out with you. Go on with the chlorophyll.

    Seriously funny!

    So wait-- I start a topic yesterday that asks men for their opinion on the use of smileys in other communication with men, that really went back and forth rather harmlessly, and Mike shuts that one down....but he has no problem with this one.

    Yo, Mike-- ridiculous, buddy.

    here here...i believe the first quote was quite a bit crass, but if we all got down off our moral pedistals for a minute we could see that there IS an element of truth to that...i know being fat all my life I haven't had the best self esteem ever, and any second glance or pretty word and I was in love...sorry, sometimes the truth does suck...and I also agree that women are just as perverted as men are, so why are men the only creepers? I also agree that if you don't want to be hit on and treated like you have only a body and no brains, maybe your picture should reflect that?
