Do you want people drooling over your profile?

Well I know I didn't vote for funny sock day!! :sad:

My handknit socks are NOT funny.

Well, okay, some of them are, but not those specifically. Although the name of my project for these socks (on Ravelry) is a little bit amusing.

(and my illusion that you were actually LL Cool J has been shattered)

I don't know about others, but going from 220 pounds, to 150 pounds, working out hard and long, 6 days a week for the past 9 months, I am pretty D.A.M.N. proud of what I have accomplished. I post my pictures for everyone to see what I have achieved thru hard work. Yes it feels really good to get the comments from anyone male or female about how good I look, no doubt.

It's pretty obvious to me that some people are showing off their hard work in the gym and other people just like to show off their bodies for sexual attention. But their motivation, although usually obvious based on the photo itself (e.g. boobs vs. washboard abs), is really none of my business. People are so quick to judge around here. Sometimes it's disguised as an "innocent" question, but it's still an obvious judgement. This is a diverse message board/social network. We have people from all walks of life. You have to expect things sometimes of which you don't approve. Personally, I'm more offended by people pushing their puritanical beliefs on me than I am on an occasional butt picture.

One thing I learned about the internet a long time ago is that if you are easily offended or have a thin skin, you should stick to message boards and websites that cater to your beliefs. Otherwise, buckle up and put on your helmet and be prepared to be offended at some point. That's just the real world.

Yes! Mission accomplished I made someone drool over me. :laugh:

There's a difference between showing off your body and putting up pics of you in see through panties and just your hands covering your nipples like you're on the front cover of play boy or something. I think if someone has a pic of them in a bikini, or cute butt pics in their little shorts, or a sports bra and shorts that's one thing and that's awesome! I like those pics because they inspire me and make me slowly but surely want to work harder....like that annoying girl that keeps posting about her new boobs but has really nice abs. I admire her abs. But sometimes the pics cross the line. You can show off your body while being classy. It's not necessary to look slutty to show your progress. IMO.

Sorry ladies but putting up a pic of your cleavage is not showing any accomplishment, it's done for attention.

There are plenty of people with pictures that truly show how far they've come, and there are others who have pictures that you wouldn't normally see outside of a playboy magazine....

I've never worn red lipstick, and when i tried it on for the first time i liked it... so i guess i was showing off my acheivment of being able to look decent in red lipstick.


=/ i'm lame.
