Attention all creepy oversexed men out there! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!
I have been a member of Bodybuilding.com for only a week and have already had a creepy guy send me private messages that were just a little too personal! At first I thought he had to be kidding but no, they kept coming in my inbox under the guise of wanting help with his workouts. I can’t believe a grown man would act like he was 15 years old! I told him his emails were not welcome and have put him on my ignore list. I will probably not want to reply to any private messages anymore and am even leery about adding any male friends to my bodyspace page. I think the tools available here for reaching your goals are awesome but I may not want to post any more photos of myself for awhile. I did not join this site to be leered at! I thought my photos were modest and should not have put me through all the crap I’ve had the last few days! Hell, I’m probably old enough to be the creep’s mother!!!!

Welcome to the internet, haha. I imagine this is a common experience with all the female members of bb.com. I wish I could tell you how to get rid of it but it seems you just have to let it roll off your back.

I hear you!!!!
You can forward their emails to the admin. Trust me they just keep coming! There are lots of great people on here also, so keep stay on and you’ll find a good group of folks!

Yeah, some people are here for that… It could be worse like a MySpace thing. Guys get unwelcome ones from other guys even. Just bound to happen. You’re right though that there are great tools and resources here that outweigh the negatives. Some people just will never get it. Keep up the good work and hope this dilemma clears itself up.

You’ll find people who you will feel comfortable enough with on a personal level. Not all the guys here are creeps. You’ll know who they are when you can actually have a conversation with them without them hitting on you the first chance they get.
I just keep deleting the PM’s that are unwanted.

Sorry to hear!
I hope you keep posting the training plan though.
I’m always hoping to learn something and somebody like you "who’s been there" can make a good contribution.

That is horrible that there are so many guys like that… unfortunately, that is what the internet has become for the most part, a breeding ground for perverts… but there are some of us that are supportive, hope you can weed out the good from the bad

Thanks for all the positive comments! I just had to rant about how I was feeling stalked by a pervert in my own home via the Internet. I have had to put up with creeps at the gym too but that is when the great guys who are your workout buddies will help you get rid of them. I know only a small percent of men act this horrible but they can really affect your overall outlook.
