Ok Peep. I read it, read it again, and then read it a third time in case I had missed somethin. Now, I get that you are knockin the people that post pics and ask for opinions. But how is that different from what you are doing? Other than the simple fact that you did not post your pic. You just let them post theirs and went with that.

<< NEWS FLASH!

Every that starts a thread here is looking for attention!
>>


LOL!

I don't find looking at other's pictures annoying. It's like getting to see into the lives of the people with which we interact on a daily basis. I know I'm no model. It doesn't matter what people in here think of me. I'm sharing my life with people that share their lives with me.

Yes, I know what you're talking about. But, even though sometimes that can be annoying the bottom line is that some people--for whatever reason--need more attention than others.

Hzl,
maybe I'm not as articulate as others, but I'm not knocking the attention seekers. As humans, we all look for attention and acceptance from others, its part of our nature. Different people have different ways of getting that attention. Some start threads looking for flames, others disagree with evrybody trying to set themselves apart from the crowd and appear unique. And others are honest with the group and themselves and come right out and say &quot;Hey look at me!&quot; by posting pics or putting up a webcam.;)

imho, a lot of people weight too heavily or are too concerned about other's looks relative to themselves. just accept you for yourself... easier that way.

I agree that people are too shallow when it comes to looks. I've seen pictures of Heather and even spent several hours one night watching her webcam, but I never considered her attributes one way or the other. I developed my positive opinion of her by reading her threads, laughing at her witty comments and watching the way she gets along with others in the forum.

Now now Bruised, no need for namecalling.

Peep, I gotta say this. A compliment is an opinion!! If you do not think that someone looks good, you will not give them a compliment. You are using your personal opinion with wich to judge them by. Yes, I know it's not the way Webster's intended it, but it works.

But alas, you are entitled to your opinion. I don't have to agree with it though.

WOW. You so-called men of the forums need to get some kind of perspective. Jesus guys, what the hell is wrong with all of you. I wholy agree with flippenfleck's comments, and some of you assholes need to get over yourselves.

Everyone of you who put down other people over the internet, especially when it's as simple as writing a few words, have a serious inferiority complex. I would love to see some of the pics of some of you guys putting down the women in here. I'd bet a $100 that if I shaved my dog's ass and taught it to walk backwards, that'd be you in a nutshell.

And especially those of you so called &quot;junior members&quot; who have apparently just joined, you have something to say on the subject? First of all, post for a good 2 months so you can have a 'taste' of what this forum is all about, then enable your profile and pm's, and then have a go at ridiculing people.

Posting these kinds of threads, peeper, is just like all those people who like to post the one word reply, NEF. This thread is entirely hypocritical, and there is nothing you can say otherwise. It is doing the very thing you are bitching about.

That is what I was trying to get at earlier. :)

Don't make the bet with me!




I can't afford to pay you a hunnit bones!

I'm about as homely as a donkey's ass.

You've posted pics here too haven't you? If you're who I'm thinking of, I disagree with your statement. :p

Nope, never posted a pic of myself here before. Not sure I even have any of me on the computer.

Wow peep, big words there. So have you posted in another name? A rose by any other name, does it still smell the same? Sure it does. Therefore, I deduce that if you had posted as a senior member, or hell, even an Elite member, I would still disagree with you. However, you are not. You are saying that in your time here (one month tops?) you have seen the forums go downhill. How can that be? I have been here since last year, October actually. I lurked for about a month before that, but I digress.

In your original post, you were criticizing the members of ATOT that post their pictures. That means it open huntin season on Peeper's. By the way, how fitting of a name for a person that doesn't like people posting their pics. :)
