Bodyspace is NOT myspace, a personal’s site or a place to attempt to pick u
Before you read on…please note this is my own view, a huge pet peeve and also note I am on day 3 of my detox diet and may be a little more on the sensitive/cranky side…with all of that disclosed…read on!
As stated in the headline- this is not a personal’s site, 90% of us on this site really do use it for it’s purpose- to learn, and network, share progress, build supportive friendships and get advice with other people into bodybuilding!!!!
This morning I received a private message- not unsual but this was from someone who had NEVER even spoken to me before. It was essentially some guy trying to pick me up- written in the way that someone would send a reply to a personal ad. What really gets me is he is some sort of drama model who only has modeling goals on his bodyspace- nothing to do with fitness (I will keep his name confidential out of a courtesy). While some people may be flattered by someone trying to pick them up out of the blue on a website that is geared towards body building and fitness.. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!! While yes, I truly do appriciate compliments, friendships and support from other people with similar interests I certainly do not appriciate someone e-mailing me in an attempt to "pick me up"- especially when they know absolutley NOTHING about me!
I repeat bodyspace is not myspace, a personal’s site or a place to attempt to pick up people!!!!
Thats all, I’m done now. Thanks for reading…

so you wanna hang out sometime? maybe xchange #s
j/k your 100% correct. I am wondering how everyone has 1203912309123 friends. I love this site because the forums are full of new foods that i have never heard of and the articles are fun to read. ++++ i order all my goodies from BB.com =)
preach it like it is! BB.com isn’t a place to for e-ego’s to be let loose.

wow defenitely would not want to be on your bad side……LOL hope the detox diet goes easier on you

i 100% agree with you also…….i dont’ think i could have put it better myself. In my opinion, some people see this site as POPULARITY contest……i have noticed that quite a few folks on here won’t even say THANK YOU for complimenting them, unless you have your shirt off or look "buff". What happened to good ole VALUES. not everyone is "in shape" but like you said, that is why we are here, to learn from each other and make changes in our lives to improve……..sorry for the rant.

You know its not so much on my bad side- I am a very nice person.. its really that people are abusing this free site that has been put together to help people! If it continues it will become no better then myspace…and that is BS!

I got messaged by the same creep so she is not overreacting.

few bad apples the majority of the people on here are very very helpful, put the person on your block list

Being a public site, you may get that. It is up to us to make sure that it doesnt get abusive and can be a site that we want to participate in. At least he did it as a pm instead of a public post.
As far as friends go, I think everyone should think about the committment they make to someone when they add them to their friends list. My friends can say that I stop by at least once a week to check on them. We are in this together and without each other how will we succeed.

hmmmm….I’d love to drop a dime here but I’ll just say some people on this site are clearly not commited to fitness…..if they were, they’d have more progress tracking, workout programs etc, and not just a collection of pretty faces on their ‘friends’ list and an ambitious dream.
Just sayin
