What is it with half of them. Ok - some guys are looking to date yah! Some just want to exchange explicit photo’s and some want to know if they lift more than you..

I would like to say no I don’t really want to do the photo exchange thing, what goes on bodyspace is what I’m willing to show. I live in London UK so for those people who don’t read profiles, maybe they should.. and last but not least I don’t need to compete in what poundage I lift it doesn’t matter. I do what I can to make me look like this, I’m not a weightlifter or power lifter I workout to try and achieve a body that I can look at and say "yes" I’m glad to be me! If that means squatting 200lbs to achieve that then hey, I wish I could achieve it in squatting 100lbs! Whatever it takes - now if I was an ego driven person then all my lifts would be humungus every week and I would be bulked to the max. Why do some men want to compete with me on maxes? Surely if you fella’s worked hard enough you would soon be tripling mine! stick with your goals people :)

I just had to say something..

I am guilty of this too by the way but,

there are a few ladies, and "girls" who have some overly sexy pictures as their default. I don’t have a problem with it because I have done some pictures that are on the edge and it is a site that promotes the body, the art in which to sculpt and tone it to be a walking master piece and so fourth. I think it’s great that we can celebrate the human body in all it’s shapes and sizes and have sex appeal in numerous forms, but my issue is when all the progress pictures and every single thing in a persons profile is sexually charged and has nothing to do with comparisons. Its almost like there’s a competition to see who’s gonna show the most in a sexually provocative manor rather than showing the body, flexing, having fun but still seeing that there is an intention of viewing muscle tone and not just being bent over for the sake of it!

Not everyone wants to be ripped to the bone agreed, but I think the message is being lost somewhere with some people and at one point me included. Being in the top 6 or having a massive friends list are some peoples motivation so showing skin in any manor is going to achieve that. Why is it that important? How does that make you a much better person??

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not slamming anyone for having their fun, god knows theres too many depressing things in this world so enjoy yourselves, but if your motivation is purely for popularity I think you must have a tiny bit of an emptiness or sadness going on! In my experience being too raunchy gets lots of unwanted requests and attention, people hitting on you and trying to get to know you in ways that you don’t want, plus it gives the wrong impression of you as a person. Again to reiterate I think it’s cool to have fun, I like looking at peoples bodies and admiring the hard work dedication and above all sacrifice for it.

A body is something to be proud of when it functions as well as an athlete’s, I just feel that you can have your fun and show as much as you can get away with if that turns you on but a default picture should in my opinion have a bit more restraint, your profile can hold whatever content you see fit. Love it all though..I do - honest! :)
