[Closed] Friday A&A

First half is more lady friendly. Your pic reminded me of:

Watching it again, it's mostly lady friendly - sorry 🙂

That fella needs a strepsil.

I'm seeing both points! Ooh er!

Never posted one of these before but what the hey...

Alina Kabaeva - Rhythmic Gymnastist and politician (?)

Swweet jesus Pyro, for a newbie you got the hang pretty quick 🙂

she needs to trim that fur...

Cheers Coffeeking. I potter around on here a lot but don't normally write owt. That's quite a good pic though, shame she's supposed to be (or possibly already has) marrying Vladimir Putin

Alana Blanchard - Pro Surfer

Thats a nice board!

Think she's cold in that last shot. Looks a bit nippy, anyway

I object to this as you're quite clearly learing at women and it's not appropriate, especially the fur shot

'no animals were harmed or hurt in the taking of that photo shoot'

aleigh, seriously, if you are not too pleased about your thread being closed then contact me direct.

aleigh you are allowed to post your own pics.

Well, if this is allowed to continue, and the FSB one has been closed, that's grossly unfair.

I mean, I do like to look at healthy, attractive ladies, so I don't see why the ladies on here can't look at pics of blokes.

come on aleigh, surely you've got some pics you'd like to share with the group 😉

i can't because i can't find your email. and the above is inappropriate i'm afraid

Kim Couture - MMA fighterist.

And in the interests of balance her lovely husband Randy.

Ooooh sexy Randy.

Why do you think it's innappropriate aleigh? She's not showing much really.

MisterGnar ewww 🙁

Someone pick her toys up for her.

Try mark@singletrackworld.com

Lol. Sorry. He's buff though? Hang on, I think you're only aloud to post one image or something but I'll find a sexy fighterist. I'm sure in the interests of equality I wont get banned for it.

too big. I like 'em scrawnier 😆

Rudeboy, A&A is for either sex.

[i]Someone pick her toys up for her.[/i]

my toys are safely away thanks!

Nope Aleigh - these are all athletic people (sports people) as well as asthetic, and none of the above could be classed as sexually explicit. Unlike the fsb thread where it was just anyone (though it wasnt explicit either). We should all follow the same rules lol 🙂 Feel free to post up your sexy sports men here! 🙂 And no its not hypocritical, theres a difference in the content!

*yawns!*

I am more than happy to see the back of the A&A threads too.. I'd rather that no one posted pictures of either sex for sexual gratification to be honest. For aleigh to complain about this one after she started a thread that I closed showing pictures of men a tad hypocritical and quite childish. This A&A 'tradition' is simply a concession that personally I don't like. Give me a good enough reason to get rid of all these kinds of threads and I'll happily oblige.

Or.... reign in your necks a bit, read the rules AGAIN, and stop whining!

There ya go. I mean...if I had to.....with a guy...I would.

Georges "Rush" Saint Pierre (gum shiled not flattering)

And Roger "El Matador" Huerta!

I don't know what that grey haired man is up to btw.

What is going on in the second picture 😯

sorry didn't see your comment!

you know what people you can't beat a bit of Friday afternoon love, who else is feeling it??

group hug anyone??

😉

I cant speak on Aleighs behalf but there's absolutely no lack of love on my part (in an internet hug sense), when i made comments on the other thread (and I didnt report it before im accused!) I was simply pointing out that the thread was outside the rules and they were all welcome to post sports men in the A&A thread but it appeared some thought A&A was for men only and that women could post pics of anyone anytime. I can see that she might be annoyed though!

sport : archery
[img] [/img]

as the ladies on here are in the minority, the A&A threads get mainly loaded with pics of ladies, so i guess Aleigh was innocently trying to start a thread with consisted of men....uh huh rules are rules and to keep Mark happy and to keep a hold of his own toys rules need to be followed.

I haven't a clue what the rules are and if anything i post on here is against the rules i'll not be getting upset about it, a neither should anyone else.

The internet is loaded with pics of attractive people, so if anyone wishes to look at them then go look for them yourselves.

or even better, go ride yer bikes whilst the weather is this lovely...

Lets make this really clear..

As was agreed during discussions that occurred after we suggested the idea of a women's only forum (which was soundly rejected, most vociferously by some of the regular women forums users, who's ironic argument was that they don't want any special treatment), was that there should be less demeaning posts of a sexual nature. For example, 'I'd bang her back doors in' and the like. Those sorts of comments are now moderated on sight. As for posting pictures of either sex for 'aesthetic' reasons it was made very clear that if any feels the need to post a picture of any person for 'appreciative' reasons that the ONLY outlet for that on this forum was via the A&A thread that can only happen on a Friday.

Those rules were for ALL forum users. The consensus was distinctly that women should be treated just the same as the men. No special treatment.. no special forum.. one set of rules for all.

What about the Susanna Reid/Kate Silverton thread?

Seems little more than the objectification of women for sexual gratification.

..one set of rules for all...

Runs off to take up archery.

Here's a bit of Fatima 😉

well said rudeboy, tbh i see a break in the rules on a daily basis on here.....

Give me a good enough reason to get rid of all these kinds of threads and I'll happily oblige.

Mods can only police threads if people who think they're outside the rules report them RB. If you find it objectification, report it and let them decide. Lets not continue to argue, the rules are pretty clear!

We react to threads that are reported to us. aleighs thread was reported to me. None of the others you mention have. Complain and we'll look at it. If we suspect you are complaining for the sake of it we'll take that into account to.

Again, none of what I'm saying is new. It's ALL in the rules. I'm surprised that so many 'regulars' need to be pointed towards them so often.

I'll leave STW forever if A&A/Kylie get banished. (Is Kylie still with us?). They make the forum fun!

I think it's a lack of understanding on the ladies part of how us men look at this post. It's absurd to state that we look at these athletes with anything other than respect for the efforts they have put in to get their body in such good physical shape. Unfortunately women just do not understand that men tend to objectify things and are more inclined to think of women as objects like a bike, a car or a lovely painting. So these femeale athletes are really just objects to us us like bikes and cars etc. No ones complains if someone posts a pic of that beautiful cove hustler with the xtr kit on...

i hope this helps the ladies understand this post a little more. 😀

If they're pretty.

....ever seen Bring it On?

zaskar - Member

Do Cheer leaders count as sport?

I didn't think it mattered, just so long as the person was athletic. But since you asked, yes. Least I'd imagine so. Seeing as there are competitions for it where people compete for points which is apparently the definition of sport.

Just watch your head for that ban hammer coming down.

think of women as objects

Juan who are you trying to impress?

caught one! 😉

Not to me they're not. Women are human beings, and deserving of respect. They are not objects.

Looking at someone's bottom, and thinking 'hmm, that's nice', is only natural. Looking at someone's bottom, and placing it in the same context as a car or bike, is not. Women are not property, chattel or belongings.

When I look at a picture of an attractive woman, I may think 'she's fit, healthy and sexy', but tbh, I prefer real people. Because a picture does not in any way have a personality, a reality, a soul.

There's nowt wrong with looking at nice bottoms. I think some people on here need to address the way they see other human beings.

Just out interest - was it the russian girl in fur that caused the offence?

Ffffffnaaaaarfffgh.

Can we scratch all the silly comments on this thread and just leave it the way it's meant to be, full of nice appeasing photos of people with fitter bodies than us? Keep the PC boys away, if they don't like it they don't have to click on it!

Some Italian rugby players - namely Sergio Parisse, Denis Dallan, Ezio Galon, Andrea Masi and Gonzalo Canale.

Thanks MisterGnar!

and the FSB one has been closed

now I've just realised my initials are an anagram for that and demand an objectifying Friday SexySimon Barnes thread :o)

So these femeale athletes are really just objects to us us like bikes and cars etc

speak for yourself! What I like is beauty combined with a real person that can react back, not an inert object (even if that reaction is "go away you nasty man")

I think the rules are a little Quaker-esque. A bit of gratuitous posting of the opposite sex on friday can't really hurt anyone.

Unfortunatately, it's not my forum so I can't make the rules though.

Perhaps we should go and blockade Dover untill we get our way? Anyone want a lift?

I see all these threads as a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun. Sometines a bit smutty in the Seaside postcard/Benny Hill style. I rarely post on them but normally have a giggle at the comments. All good fun.
Yes, any out of line comments need to be modded, but you get worse on religion/Race/Iraq threads than on any of the FSB/Kylie/A&A threads IMO

Mark, please don't stop the A&A. It's a storm in a tea cup, it'll be alright

Guys, FWIW if you keep arguing I can't help thinking Mark et al will close A&A for good, simply for an easier life!

Personally I'm not particularly fussed either way - I'm not particularly bothered by sportswomen with their fur(!) showing; equally I know I'm far from the finest male specimen and don't feel threatened by pictures of other men.

wow - how grown-up do I sound?! 😉

I don't think anyone is arguing really.

As a plus though, there are far more pics on men on here than ever before!

I've appreciated and admire athletes.

I strive for my own six pack which I've had and now dieting again.

I think men or women athletes can inspire us. We have a choice

Also they are in shape for their sport-it can come with the training.
Rather than being pushed down peoples throats like fashion magazines.

But then again I could have posted a pic of Sharon Davies swimming... 😈

Brains to match her looks too. I mean who wants to date a brainless hot lady or man?

What has happened to A+A? Far too many men for my liking.

Is she hugging a bear in that second picture?

you can gauge her intellect from a photo ? Well done ? What's my IQ please ?

Haven't you missed out the decimal point after the 9?

IIRC it was mentioned she was/is also in politics, hence pretty intelligent
🙂

Personally, being 'well buff', I don't feel at all threatened or emasculated by pics of sexy blokes. I can see how some other, not so buff fellers might feel a little uptight. But it's their inadequacy, that's their problem really. Any bloke what complained about the FSB thread is a sad git. Get a life!

Speaking of bottoms...

posting a pic of yourself soon RB?

What's going on with her back? Is she part reptile?
😉

I do feel inspired by seeing photos of male athletes! I think 'cor, impressive six pack, but I'm happy with my keg. Now, where did I put the xbox remote?' 😉
Actually, let's face it, if we're fit enough to get out on bikes reasonably frequently, none of us is actually Rick Waller...

What's going on with her back? Is she part reptile?

non-cake eating people have a grove over the spine there Peter...

which BTW I'd not even noticed as I was looking elsewhere :o)

The Rock who was a wrestler but is now an actor and is starring in Escape to Witch Mountain - which I have to say is very good! 😆
