    To answer your question, guys will flirt with you because you are attractive. Unfortunately for you, God made you pretty. They will flirt with you everywhere you go, so you might have to get used to it.

    Also I think a place like this where they have friend interaction is a great place to meet people who have similar goals and interests as you. Many people hook up in gyms and this really is no different.

    Like everyone is saying though, you have the power to delete the people you find offensive. Trust me it's far better to be constantly hit on than constantly ignored :(

    he makes a fine point.

    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.

    i thought the same thing when i read that.

    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.

    ....or maybe someone reported your bigoted comment about homosexuals?

    So wait... you're upset that guys are hitting on you so you told everyone on the website about it? Doesn't sound like you're annoyed, sounds like you're bragging to me.

    I read yours- it did NOT go back and forth harmlessly. This one has some cattyness, but your thread started about as bad as this one and only got worse.

    @Halobender: ITA, yes, I've seen women that are absolutely lecherous on here and everywhere. Being salacious isn't the province of only men.


    To whoever it was several pages back that said something along the lines of (paraphrasing here) you evil adults for bashing an innocent kid for her opinions..blah blah.

    Said, innocent kid, has surely been on the internet for a decent amount of time that she understands how to set up a thread topic on her own, didn't ask what BUMP is, has a FB, a computer or access and has probably been on the internet for a few years at least. Note that these are just observations of what is likely to be her experience with the internet at this point- not a justification for anyone to accost her rudely on the internet - but that IS what happens on forums all over the net. Particularly if you set up your thread as a confrontation which she obviously did.

    She seems to have handled all of it well and with humor from what I can see- a lot of people in this thread are simply playing around and there are actual posts that are debating the merits of different viewpoints (I did both). I don't even understand why people would be shocked that this topic would be so popular...her title is accusatory and has an exclamation mark and just screams drama...that will attract people on any forum.

    This type of topic pops up at least every other week here on MFP- so yes- a lot of us who have been here and hang out on the forums have seen this over and over again. I find it quite hilarious. As one of my friends said on our profiles ..any site with three people on it is in essence a dating site. This is a social networking site for ostensibly furthering our 'weight loss goals' (btw I find it incredibly cheesy to walk around saying that...makes me lol all the time) with ADULTS. Anytime adults get together..attractions happen. Appropriate or not- they just do. Part of growing up and being an adult is learning how to deal with this with grace if at all possible. There is zero point in trying to change everyone else about issues like these- you just have yourself to be responsible for. You can only 'control' how you react to it and your own decisions. You can choose not to participate, change your avatar, just delete PM's and not even respond to them, or completely deactivate your account or just stay off the internet or just develop a thicker skin.

    I do not think I'm being rude or egregious by pointing these things out ..whatsoever. I'm just being matter of factly. :flowerforyou:

    P.S.
    I'm looking for dudes with low esteem....this site is a diamond!

    No, I personally don't "need" to know what you look like, I just like to see people's faces :) It just adds a more human element to communication that I like. Also..even if people don't want to do avatars of themselves the world is your oyster avatar wise. One only need to upload a photograph of *anything* :wink:
