What do you think of girls that post up half naked pictures

I'm pretty sure I'd first be all "wwaahhh??" then I'd probably burn a few calories laughing at it, then I'd report and delete. I would NEVER bring it to the forums. That's just asking for trouble. Man, I'd hate to see how you react checking your emails every day.
As for girls posting half naked pics, do it! Makes my fat behind feel more motivated to actually DO something. If you don't like it, I'll call the waaambulance for you. I'm sure I have their number around here somewhere.0 -
I think those pictures are so motivational. And as soon as I get down a few more pounds I will put one as my profile picture... I still haven't taken the two seconds it would require to learn how to post pictures

If they are comfortable in their skin, more power to them. Me? I've only shared my bod with one man (a photo!!! ) and my face is not in it so if he shares, no one really know it's me... oh, and he showed me his first!!! lol!!!0

I think girls or boys should post their half-naked pictures, if that's what they want to do. Who am I to say they shouldn't?
Personally, I don't find the woman on the first page with the big muscles attractive at all, but that's just me. My best (female) friend was a bodybuilder and I thought her discipline was amazing, and so was her low body fat number! I still admire her for what she accomplished, as I admire anyone who can achieve body.
I don't have to find it appealling or attractive to appreciate what goes into the making of that kind of body.
Me, I prefer softer, rounder curves, firm but not too muscular on a woman, but beauty is all in the eye of the beholder, and I don't judge others for what they find attractive.
That MFP woman who said the muscularity in the woman in the photo was "just plain wrong" was, to me, judgmental. How is that wrong? Is it hurting anyone? Like someone else said, if you don't like it, then don't look at it!0 -
If your talking to me, Thank You!! Weight training really is the fountain of youth.You look fabulous! You are an inspiration. Thank you for posting your pics....the "reverse-aging" benefit is totally worth working for!0 -
I personally can't wait to gain the confidence to wear a bikini and post pix on MFP lol0

I think its awesome

My personal opinion is; vanity plays a HUGE part in body building. Maybe the only part. One can maintain a healthy weight and keep in shape without building unnecessary muscle. Vanity, vanity, vanity. Like... "you're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you" ... la la la la....
WOW, that is the MOST generalized, RIDICULOUS statement I have EVER read. I find that people who make these statements are not at all knowledgable about the field.
The only qualification I would make about my statement is; it's directed at the body builders who appear in most of the pix posted. The bulging muscles of people with 5% body fat. Nobody "needs" that much muscle. And.. a certain amount of vanity is healthy, but when a person has to display themselves in posing for themselves or others, that's vanity to extreme, which, in my opinion, is not an attractive trait. Below is the first definition of vanity I found by Googling the word.
van·i·ty/ˈvanətē/
Noun: Excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements.
With that said, notice I didn't resort to name calling in expressing my opinion as in the quote above. And if you are going to accuse someone of not being knowledgeable, at least learn how to spell KNOWLEDGEABLE. LOLOL!!!0 -
I think you have too much cat vanity0

But why not? What if I am suddenly trapped under a large piece of furniture in my apartment?0 -
I love ALL of the pictures people post of themselves, because they're each motivational in their own way.0

I think highly of them0

What does it really matter. If you don't like seeing perfectly natural pics of people in bikini's don't look. It's no big deal. Why are we so worried about objectifying the bodies. We're trying to get healthy, healthy is beautiful. If that is a turn on, well get over it!
Some of us have self control and can deal with our personal desires without having censorship. let's support each other in our efforts to be healthy. When I lose my weight, I am going to post in the smallest string bikini I can find. Don't care if people look or don't, but I will be fine with it, because I worked hard to be able to wear it well.
Have at it ladies and gents.. wear what you like, fat or skinny!!0 -
i will have to BUMP, lol0

And what if we need to bring a couple cases of beer in the house?!0 -
If you are doing it just for looks then you are wrong. To make yourself feel better about yourself or to push yourself to another level should be the reason. Me I push myself harder then a lot of people, for example here is a daily routine challenge.
Bike 2 miles
60 areobic style workout
Bike 2 miles to work
Bike 2 miles to pool during lunch
swim 500 meters
Bike 2 miles back to work
Go the longer way home 3.5 miles yep biking
Get home go run 2.5 miles
20 minutes of yoga
I am also getting ready for a olympic tri-athlon but that is what I am talking about set goals and push yourself to excel it will make you happy.0 -
Am I the only female here who DON'T want to see the "other half" of the nude guys? That's just creepy to me and my young (yet overly gorgeous) eyes.
Anyway, I don't care if I post a half nude pic of myself here or anywhere and someone saves it as this background. Hell they can build a shrine to my *kitten* for all I care. Over half of the people saying I'M CONFIDENT IN THE WAY I LOOK should probably NOT be THAT confident but hey, they are and that's even better.
Now excuse me while I go dance fully nude in the mirror waiting for the maintenance man to show up to change out the air filter.0 -

It is ironically funny how you ridicule a minor fallacy but then employ tu quoque: one shouldn't try to paint a portrait with only one colour brush.0 -

ooohhhhh! I mispelled a word, but I didn't call ANYONE any names, but I'm glad you feel all holier than though for being able to spell KNOWLEDGEABLE. :flowerforyou:0 -

Anyway, with that ridiculous and shallow observation out of the way, I have to say; more power to the people showing off their hard work. Be proud of what you're creating.0 -

Just sitting here seeing how distorted this line is getting. Did I ever say vanity was immoral? Did I say vain people are bad people? My definition of a "body builder" is someone who works long, difficult hours for the sole purpose of building bulky muscles and reducing body fat to unnatural proportions. This has nothing to do with "getting healthy". Some body builders couldn't run around the block. That is MY definition of body building and the vain comments are directed to those I believe are body building (to my definition). And as I said in my opening sentence," my personal opinion" is that the only reason people do this is to display a buff body, to themselves or to others. I've never seen a photo of a person proudly displaying themselves fully dressed to show off the results of hours and hours of weights and special protein diets. If anyone wants to take that as a personal affront, knock yourself out. I have never professed myself as being any type of expert in body building, or attempted to give people advice on the subject (unlike a lot of self professed experts here, on just about every subject imaginable). I expressed an opinion and you are welcome to disagree. You know what they say about opinions.... everyone has one. That doesn't make any of them wrong.. or right, they are just opinions. So, except for the comments I made to the person who said my observations were generalized and ridiculous it is not to be taken personally.0 -

I would be that person. The one who spelled knowledgeable incorrectly, but I did not do any namecalling. All I said was that your original statement was generalized, but definitely no namecalling. I'm not that low.0 -

I'm new to this and originally bought it to the forums to find out if anyone else had experienced it and what to do. And as for how I react checking my emails every day, what a ridiculous thing to say?? I have nice friends and assoicates who are polite, I don't get filthy emails.
anyway back to the original point of the discussion I think its fine for people to post whatever they want and I find the pictures motivating too. For me personally I won't be posting any more half naked pics though because there are weirdos out there.0 -

That's because it doesn't really show when you're fully dressed.
"Woo! Look at me! I lost TWO POUNDS since last June! All my clothes fit approximately the same as they did then!"
(I35 in June, 133 in February)
"I'm the same exact weight as I was in July, but I've completely reshaped my waist, thighs and bum."
If someone is here asking for advice on how to look better in a bathing suit or when having special nakey time with her husband, I think I might have a LITTLE bit more credibility as the girl who lost her cellulite than the girl who looks the same fully clothed.
Yeah, I'm proud as hell of the changes I've made to my body and mind over the past 15 months I've been here. But I don't share my photos to brag. Well, not JUST to brag. I share them to motivate others. If I can do it - someone who was never athletic and was always the last person picked in gym class, and never had any interest in fitness at all until I turned 38 - then anyone can.0 -
yep you can see a massive difference in the bikini shots, you look awesome!!0
-
Well why would someone showing off a clothed picture say "I lost two pounds since June" in the first place? There's a difference between "I gained muscle mass, look at my naked body" and "I lost weight, look how my clothes fit now".0

LorinaLynn, YOU are AMAZING!!0

I took the February photo in the purple shirt just to prove that point. People were saying, "You can see your progress fully clothed or via your ticker" and that there's no need for anyone to wear a bikini. According to the scale, my ticker or how I looked fully clothed, I HAD no progress. In less fabric... lots of progress.0 -
Is okay if they are in water? haha 1st post after the 500 reply split
Is that a woman? Seriously she looks more like a man with boobs to me0
