Bodyspace - Glorifying the rise of the female attention seeking Internet po

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

It has taken me since February of last year, but finally I am going to take a stand on this.

I can no longer sit by and let this kind of behaviour go without giving my 2 cents..

I am here to discuss bodyspace, but with an emphasis being placed on the top female profile section. 

When bodyspace first started, it was full of athletic individuals and people who have made fantastic progress, with good advice and lots of solid posts on the forums that you could look back on and take nutritional and training advice from, even get one on one help from them.

Soon after, people started abusing the system of bodyspace..

Certain individuals would spam their picture in the hopes of getting into the top profiles.
They would put a link to their profile wherever possible on the internet.
In the end, people who really had no knowledge or background in bodybuilding or fitness in general were in the top profiles.

Crime? Maybe not, but it made it a lot harder for people to get in touch with the real individuals of bodyspace and bodybuilding.com  Anyway, a little more time after that, it seemed women had latched onto an idea.

It went a little something like this, 

“Hey, maybe if I show some full on ass and tit, I can suddenly become a top 6 profile and become the attention whore I always dreamed of becoming” 

And so.. the bodyspace pornstar brigade was born. 

Ok, some of them have muscle tone and a little fitness. Some of them look like they train somewhat.. However, they are not posting a close up shot of their behind because it shows off their glutes, they are doing it for attention. 

There are some really great female athletes and transformations on bodyspace and they are being cheapened by the fact that if you are a female with no muscle tone, transformation, or athletic experience, you can post a picture of your boobs or ass and get a top six profile spot and exposure. 

This is ugly. The top six has ranged from having a 17 year old girl showing a little too much skin, to women constantly spamming the latest picture section with pictures of their bottoms and breasts.
And bodyspace has let this continue. 

Why do I say this? Not just because of the above, but because it cheapens women in general.

The whole fitness industry for women is cheapened because some are willing to basically become pornstars to get ahead. 

I am saying it now, bodyspace needs to take a stand and do something about this because so many people, myself included, hardly ever visit anymore because of the amount of dirt being posted. 

At least one male member of this site needs to stand up and be heard to let the real female athletes they have support and should not have to cheapen themselves. An example of my above rant can be seen below (today’s top is what pushed me over the edge - the top 2 listed below):  http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/MissStacey/

And one 17 year old:

Now there are go-go dancers getting into the top six? Whatever next - real life pornstars?
