Clothing or lack there of....RANT

[silverlining84]

We can't always live in a bubble. On a fitness site you're bound to come across lack of clothing because people are proud of their hard work. Heck my bra and undies cover more than some competition suits lol.

[kimm4]

Meh, it's none of my business what people choose to wear or don't wear. What's more amusing to me...most of them don't even look like they lift...

[thepowerwithin]

Lost in translation, was meant to refer to those seemed concerned.

Gotcha.

LOL... Ok this is getting confusing. You win.

LOL...you're such a sport .

Me neither. Identity building + validation seeking, possibly. Motivations likely vary from person to person (and age to age) but it gives some interesting food for thought.

agree. we all want to be loved and seek validation

difference being that when you flash your tits on the street, tomorrow it's gone. post them on the net, and they're forever.

[CaptnC]

I need a few links to see these pics so I can judge for myself!

Thanks

WTF is it with the lack of clothing? Really people? Come on. If you are going to post a photo of yourself all over the forum at least put on a swim suit or short shorts or something besides your bra and panties! I'm a mom and absolutely hate that there are photos of young girls in their panties and bras on here. Y'all do know that once these photos are out in cyberspace they are there FOREVER...right? I know that some swim suits don't cover up as much but at least I can't see your pubic hair and they look nicer than a pair of almost there panties and bra that doesn't fit! AUGH

Sorry, I guess the mama in me just had to vent. I'm not gonna look at any more photos now.

Mama needs to take a chill pill. If ill fitting bras and a bit of pubic hair throws you into a tizzy you need to ask yourself why? Unless the poses are suggestive, the human body in all of it's various shapes and forms is beautiful. Nicer? That's a subjective term. Most of us are going from progress picts, aren't professional photographers with proper lighting, and may not even own a bikini. We're going for progress picts, not pleasing to your eye picts. A good many of us are moms and grandmas too

Meh... whatever people choose to wear on this site is their business. I don't care. However, when I do come across a profile where a chick has nothing but images of boobs, bum, lingerie, and/or provocative poses without any evidence of muscle mass gains, fat losses, or any progress being made whatsoever... I have to wonder. What are they really here for? Are they truly pursuing progress or do they just want attention? I'm not "offended" by such members but I am definitely less likely to take them seriously...

This profiles should be forwarded to me for review...

[DaniGrrl]

I do think there are a lot of people who frequent Bodyspace, men and women both, who have profiles simply for getting attention and meeting people of the opposite sex. It's obvious they don't lift or work out at all. What those people want to do is their business. If it comes back to bite them somehow later on, it's their problem.

[Kemo1990]

thanks to this thread i think ill start taking pics in speedos in provocative poses

[jqrambo]

Got something awesome to show? Then show it I think. Fitness forum, go nuts boys and girls.

[tdigirl]

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just an over protective mama. Thanks for the fodder and giggles. I lift heavy, working on power-lifting, someone asked why I was on here. I don't like to share photos of myself as I'm pretty private because of my young girls. What got me all in a "tizzy" was an underage girl posting photos in her bra and underwear that well isn't legal to where here on Texas lakes. SO, I get the reason for photos and small clothing to show off one's hard work. I just don't think that some adults or young adults understand once it's out there it's out there FOREVER. No I'm not a prude; I just have daughters and my concerns came from a good place but it all boils down to they are not my girls and I'm not their mom so it's really none of my business.

[Inama]

Exactly.

OP: No offense, I am sure you are a nice person, but go to a website that values other things aside from how one looks. Seriously, complaining about what people wear on this website would be like complaining about too much news on the CNN website

What does it matter to you? Instead of making a fuss about girls who aren't progressing the way you want them to, maybe you should consider why you're so concerned about other people's dress and physique progress. "Just want attention"? Sounds like you're upset that they're diverting the attention away from you.

Bolded for truth.

You're not "an over protective mama." You have way too much interest in other people's personal lives. A picture of a girl wearing a bra and underwear is not evil or illegal or immoral. It may surprise you to learn that most of us do wear bras and underwear ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME and it's not a problem. Hell, you're probably wearing those disgusting salacious garments right now, aren't you?

Check your own judgment first, lady. You're free to wear or not wear any horrifyingly sexy clothing in any venue you choose, but keep the prudish moralizing to yourself.

Wow - did someone hit a nerve? There's a lotta anger in those posts...

Strong reading comprehension. If you will re-read the post... you will see that I said that I DON'T CARE what other people wear. It does NOT matter to me. They could put their bare DD's up there for all I'm concerned... I'll just be less likely to take them seriously, that's all. And hunny... believe me... I could totally have that kind of attention if I wanted it. I'm not here for that, I'm here to make progress.

Sheeesh... tell me about it!

[kjake55]

No kidding lexinak that is a ton of bad feelings in those posts. I personally think OP still comes off as pompus in her retrospect and conclusions but that's no reason to tear anyone a new one and certainly not stephanielynn76. Take a breath and wait 3 seconds before hitting the reply button next time. lol

Holy crap girl, you obviously haven't read many posts by StephanieLynn. Her sig for a while was "just a happily married wife and mother" or something along those lines. If you want attention, you definitely don't make that your sig.

[securekey]

I don't believe the Internet is for you.

*actually laughing* :P

[CapCheer]

Im not concerned with what other people wear. I would worry about myself more and others less, works for me!

I seem to recall lexinak getting her panties in a bunch a few other times - sometimes I think it's just a Misc troll

This is bb.com and making progress in our physique's is basically the whole point of this site. Slapping up a pic of nothing but a set of tits or a crotch shot doesn't qualify as hard work. They're certainly not here to prove they can walk the walk that's for sure. Seriously, take it to a dating site where it belongs.

If I'm not mistaken, you're the chick that posted up full front/back barely edited nudes of yourself in your journal. That's not allowed on the forums, which is why they were taken down.

Yeah, from what I remember those were pretty classy...gimmie a break...

[MikeyH83]

I completely agree with the OP ... I had no idea you women were posting pictures of your toned bodies that you work your ASSES off for, on this forum. Could somebody please make a list of links to all of these atrocious and offensive threads so I know which ones to avoid?

LOL. Bingo. Some people are clearly looking for attention and nothing else.

I don't care much about any of this though.

Saw your post here Stephanie and wanted to let you know I've stopped by your blog a couple times lately but it gives me an error when I try to post! So frustrating. Hope everything is going well

[Femtex23]

Eh, people always get their panties in a wad whenever anyone points out anything or draws attention to anything or just ever says anything, period...everyone thinks they need to disect everything everyone else says and explain why they are wrong or put in their. 02 cents...frankly, I don't think anyone is "old school" by trying to instill some tact, modesty and self respect in today's youth or anyone else for that matter. Someone may have the "right" to show their ass out in public or on a public forum (to each their own), but it doesn't mean they should, considering all the possible negative consequences, which they REALLY should be made to consider and think about. There's nothing wrong with acting like a lady sometimes and nobody should be flamed or hated on for such viewpoints. It really is okay to be modest and subtle rather than overtly sexual and blatant all the time, really!
