Admit it guys

[PowerBuilder08]

Reading through the posts the past couple of days has really made me see the double standard this forum has in terms of gender.

The second a female posts in a thread, she will get at least 2-3 replies, and at least one of them will be the guy flirting with her. A lot of the times the comments will be derogatory or sexist.

But if a female flirts back, even if its with an innocent response, she is instantly an attention whore. God forbid she responds more than once.

As for a response to this thread: we all like good attention. Nobody likes bad attention. As I said before, we all want to be wanted.

Pretty well said for someone from Ohio

I do agree with that statement though....a girl can have twenty guys hitting on her, she flirts back BOOM attention whore.

would you not admit that many-->most of the girls who post on this site do it more for attention than anything else? Coming into a bodybuilding site dominated by males, posting up an avi without much in the way of clothing, REALIZING those are the type of responses u will get on an online forum....

im sure most girls get plenty of PMs daily, always get the "YOURE SO HOTTT NOODZZZZ" after everything they post. If they werent seeking attention, why would they stick around?

gotta take into account the demographics of the website, etc. What u say applies to real life pretty well, not so much this site.

Oops did it backfire?

Double standards are very prevelant because of the higher percentage of guys in this section but they don't only exsist here, they exsist in all of society.
The double standards are definitely unfair. You have to be strong to be a woman with all the derogatory name calling, it's ridiculous. No wonder we are insecure.

lol

x2

i.e the elle sunshine event.

constantly ask for nudes

finally get nudes

misc labels her a whore

wtf?

Yes exactly.

And guys say girls are illogical. I agree that fiasco made no sense. Guys begging for nudes, then getting them and then labeling her a ho. Ridiculous.

Did you not read his post? He said that everyone likes good attention..so I'm not sure what you are arguing here.???

[KennyK]

no, but did ya know that he sent me a pic of his (very) hairy ass..LOL

.

so, were you just going to sit on this pic forever or can we all bask in the power of his vainglorious, hairy ass?

[PowerBuilder08]

no, but did ya know that he sent me a pic of his (very) hairy ass..LOL

That's the most ****ed up thing I've heard in years...*shudders*

Who cares? Does it hurt you? Just don't feed the attention whores? I don't know why people get so bent out of shape about it. FFS , grow up.

WOah, lets settle down cheif. The whole point of this argument is to discuss things like this, if you didnt realize that by now?

[Al_Pal]

you must be the owner of a vagina then

i own more than one.

[BballBuilder]

WOah, lets settle down cheif. The whole point of this argument is to discuss things like this, if you didnt realize that by now?

My point is that the argument doesn't have to exist. Guys get pissed off about this, they get pissed off that girls can get laid easier, that they have guys sucking up to them. BOO ****ing hoo. People need to accept that they can't control other peoples actions.

A lot of the times, these are the same guys that complain they can't get a good girl, all girls are sluts, but they laugh at PUA, saying that they'd rather just be themselves. "Why isn't that enough!?" they ask.

Instead of bitching and complaining about things that aren't going to change. Learn them, understand them, use them to your advantage. This section frustrates me so much that I can't help but come back and hope to help people. I'm soon just going to start posting "U mad, grow some balls, you're a virgin, you're 15" for comments since no one listens anyway.

TO clear it up for you-

Theres OBVIOUSLY going to be an initial double standard because bodybuilding is dominated by men. Whether or not this should be is another story. However, most girls come on here--

1) never post in any forums besides the misc
2) put up an avi not related to bodybuilding at all, and is usually sexually oriented
3) Start threads usually seeking attention and not advice/anything bodybuilding related

can u see why guys would jump to such a conclusion? It really isnt that hard of a leap once u break it down...

lol that has absolutely nothing to do with my argument, and nothing to do with my situation with women. But a good read nonetheless thanks.

If I thought pessimistically, then yes, I would think that all the women on here are money loving attention whores who lie, cheat, and steal their way through life in order to manipulate the emotions of poor, helpless men.

However....I'm an optimist.

I do not believe the women post here solely for attention. If they posted a thread saying "I'm a girl, talk to me, will send nudes!", then there would be a problem.

Women do like to interact on something other than a sexual level with people. They post in the Misc and Relationship help section for the same reason you do: to interact with people. From what I've seen, the Female Misc section gets a new post about once a day, so I can see why they would come here.

I have spoken to Jenflower2 on a couple of occasions via PM, and she is actually very articulate, intelligent, and a genuinely caring person. If you had bothered to read any of her posts previous to this week, she rarely (if ever) spoke in such a flirtatious manner. Sometimes the mood strikes people right and puts them in a flirty state of mind. So what? Its human nature.

Although this is an opinionated message board, you are by all means entitled to your own. This is just my $.02

And Jenflower2: I'm sure whoever you took that avatar shot for was very flattered at the gesture.

It was more of a summation of this entire thread. Hence the "guys" vs. "you"

I agree with parts of it. But its easy to see why u or I would post in these sections. We both workout, we both seek bodybuilding information, but sometimes that gets old and u wanna mix it up. So BAM! misc section.

While we initially came here for the bodybuilding aspect, most girls did not. Obviously some came here for that, but that is a small minority. What did they come for? I'll let u draw your own conclusion from that.

And im not calling out jenflower, im talking about girls on this site in general. Originally i thought she was a troll (lol no jenflower hate) but i guess she stuck around long enough to prove otherwise.

Though i do find it funny that jensflower gets e-crushes (you being one of them). I can see why u would stick up for eachother.

[Al_Pal]

jenflower is an obvious attention slut. an annoying one at that, imo. But id still take a pretty attention whore, over the other end of the spectrum that dominates this section. and thats pussy whipped virgins with no ****ing clue. they drive me nutso.

Most women most likely come here for supplement information, they may not desire to be bodybuilders but they prolly want to improve themselves and figure bodybuilders are the paramount of physical molding.

Come east and come clubbing with me. haha

Actually, most girls do come to Bodyspace for fitness advice. You do not have to be a 'bodybuilder' to want to have a profile on this site. Hell, look at me: I'm far from a bodybuilder (5'10" 165 lbs won't get me far haha) Some women want nutrional help, some women want workout plans, some just want to have people critique them or have that reassuring praise of "You're doing great, keep it up!".

And I literally did laugh out loud at the whole 'e-crush' thing. I consider her an e-friend, if that means anything, so of course I will stick up for her if I think she is being wrongfully accused. But I've long since learned that she is a big girl and can take care of herself, so I should probably stop posting, haha.

[Al_Pal]

i have a hard time getting into canada sometimes. but that should all be cleared up now.

Guys are always saying, "girls love attention" etc. as if they are past that and so much better than that, but I've come to the conclusion (a long time ago actually) that guys love attention just as much as girls do..am I right?

I only love positive attention. Many girls love the attention they get from acting like immature bitches being all moody and stuff.

[stewaat]

A man's love if life and a woman's life is love

The center of a man's life is not his wife/gf but to a woman their life is their husband/bf.

There are always exceptions to rules.

[BackToBasics]

I am going to have to agree with the opinion that:

While everyone (man, woman, or child) likes and appreciates positive attention, it seems to go beyond that for most women. It becomes almost a fix for them that they simply cannot live without.

Eventually, if they can't get any positive attention, they'll take the negative alternative. Women, in general, are slaves to their emotions, and attention stokes many of those emotions like few other things.

[Siberian_Husky]

everyone LIKES attention, but i think guys generally value space more than attention.
