Sorry if I don’t find the person in the picture to be most beautiful- but I happen to prefer dark hair, eyes and an olive complexion. The blue-eyed blonds of the world will NEVER turn my head. I’m sorry if someone is offended but when you publish pictures you should be able to accept the criticism/ complements that come with them.

Kel - I am with you. I have always found more exotic looking women much more appealing, but that doesn't mean that I would say that a woman is UGLY because I don't find her to be DROP DEAD GORGEOUS.
I agree with both of you. There's a great quote that I really like, from Francis Bacon:
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."
It's all about the exoticism. We all want to look at least a little different than the rest of the fat, dumpy masses out there. Some of us want to look a little different than the others, and some of us want to look a lot different. Who's to say that we can or can't do this or that to look how we want to look?
And, no offense, but why are all of us spending so much time arguing with a guy on a thread on what WE want to look like, and who we look up to? No offense, NYM, but you're stirring shit up. A discussion on the women's board about what women aspire to shouldn't turn into a 181 post thread on us justifying ourselves to you.
You don't agree, fine. We got that the first several dozen posts you made on the subject.
I for one come here for support in searchign for my new shape. The last thing I want to read is 180 posts arguing with what the idiots in my office who tell me I'm too big think. I know you like to help people here, and that you're a great resource, but really, you can't win this arguement, and I think it's really wrong of you to piss on people's aspirations the way you have in this thread. If I'm making the leap to getting really big, I think I should be able to come to the women's board on Elite fucking Fitness, the anabolic authority, and not find that the women's board has been tied up with this bullshit for the past two days. Even the people who agree with your point of view (and there are many) know enough not to tie up the women's board with this crap.
How does it make you feel when people treat you like a freak? And don't tell us to toughen up and all that crap. This is a place where *women* go to talk, and men who behave are welcome guests. If you come in as a man and a guest, don't stir shit up and then say, "Who, me? I'm not as mean as you guys are." I can't remember the last time BMom or Debu started any nastiness like this, NYM. Do you think that as a guy guest on the women's board that's really behavior that is appropriate, mature, or welcome?
