For those of you wondering about the “powerful image” comment Deb made, here’s the story.
I had seen Deb’s before and after pics and she had told me her story, how she trained, etc. She and I had PM’ed back and forth, including photos, for months especially her first year or two here. I truly was impressed with her progress. I got to thinking why women from our very own site who looked as good as she did/does weren’t being featured in TN’s Powerful Image section.
I know TC personally so I approached him with the idea of including some of our very own “home grown” ladies on the home page under the P.I. banner. He agreed it was a good idea and encouraged me to contact a few girls and see if they’d be interested. I did so and Deb was one of them.
She considered it for a week or two and declined. I never got “butthurt” about it. Puzzled maybe, considering Deb’s prolific posting of pics including nude ones on SAMA. Per TC’s instructions I had told her that all we needed were high resolution pics of the exact same type thing she had already been posting on the forums. But like we both have mentioned she declined and that’s fine. I never bugged her about it at all. She had her reasons and that was that. FWIW, I continued to be friendly with Deb after that. No hard feelings whatsoever.
So for her to come on this thread and say that I need to leave her alone and toss out the “weirdo” label clearly implies that I was doing some kind of stalking or whatever. And that is just patently and grossly wrong. A big fat fucking lie. Deb, it’s one thing to be a catty douchebag about this thread topic and quite another to be an out and out liar. This is what I meant when I said you are an ugly person on the inside. What you did with that casual little statement and the weirdo thing simply makes you a very small, very ugly person. Yeah, you’re on top of the world alright. You betcha.[/quote]
You stalk people to?
Damn you! I thought I monopolized on being an above average stalker here. Guess I’ll hand in my stalker button. Just messing, I’ll always lurk.
Feeling creeped out doesn’t entail that anybody is creepy.
That is why you don’t need to take it personally if someone feels creeped out.
Not respecting a persons feelings they have as the feelings they have kinda sucks, however.
And I think it especially sucks how some guys seem to think that women posting pics in SAMA means that those women no longer have the right to feel creeped out sometimes.
i don’t think you did yourself any favors in starting it.
the favor i’m doing myself… is in showing support to a friend. you attacked her character. i don’t think your judgement of her character is correct and i feel indignant that you attacked her character over here in the powerful women’s forum.
i feel sad when there are bitch fights in the compound. but it really irks me when guys weigh in…
i feel sad when people attack others characters on the forums generally. but it really irks me when guys do this to women on this particular forum.
edit–
probably because i’m the only women who regularly trains in the heavy weights room in my gym. i put up with a lot of male bullshit there because that is what i need to do in order to train. this space is kinda sacred to me. a space where women rule. it is OUR freaking compound. show some fucking respect or piss off.
Wow, who knew a video that was meant to be inspiring to others would create such a debate. For all you haters out there, you just prove and show your jealousy by talking shit. Any female that can throw around some weight is hot by my standards, so quit taking the title of the post out of context.
And Sarah is an extremely modest and humble person, and would NEVER post a video of herself like this up. So I went ahead and posted up without her even knowing. She’s not my girlfriend or my significant other. Just a super-cool chick that kicks ass in the weight room and with all her training. Isn’t this forum about “Powerful women”?
Thanks to all of you who saw this thread as what it really was and to everyone else that’s judging…jealousy is a mother fucker, aint it?

I DO respect that. Sincerely.
I don’t understand this, I’ve had sand in my vagina and it really hasn’t bothered me a bit.
Have you ever had a tape worm coming out of your asshole? Now that’s annoying!

HAHAHAH! None of us are jealous. Believe me when I say this. Really, truly, we’re not.
In fact, I’m sure I speak for the compound when I say that we fully support and appreciate Sarah’s athleticism and strength! She’s a beast! And she does indeed look damn fine. So yay! Go Sarah!
What’s annoying is YOU, as a random individual, coming in here saying “check out this strong, hot girl” blah, blah, blah. We’re women who’s hobby is weight lifting. The moniker of “hot” is redundant and arbitrary and somewhat meaningless.
Do you think your friend sarah would refer to herself as “hot” in front of other women and be asked to be taken seriously? She’s humble for a reason, and kudos to her. You on the other hand are just tactless.
Anyways, tell you “friend” Sarah that I think she’s fantastic and to post her own vids!
Aha! I see the problem here, you think that all women that move weight are hot…well, probably, yes, you are correct. But you see, you can’t take “the title of the post out of context” since it defines the context, which what got me all uppity in the first place.
What a silly misunderstanding!! You are forgiven bfrancis - go in peace.

No.
The video is relevant to the forum, regardless of how you feel about the advertising.
Had I pulled my head out of my ass any sooner, I would have suggested (privately or not) to bfrancis that his video would be received differently if he took “hot” out of the title of the thread. (Possible by editing his first post)

There you go!
Let this be a lesson in marketing bfrancis - live long and prosper.
And thanks Git and Push! I’m more of a John Lennon fan, but i’ll take it
Bfrancis don’t take that BS between Push and I against you or your post. It has nothing to do with your video and everything to do with me taking offense to sexist and insulting remarks about cattyness and sandy vaginas.
As for your post, it would have been received a bit different your girlfriend should be doing the posting but that’s neither here nor there. Heavythrower posted videos of his wife and there was no issue with that probably because we know Heavythrower as a longtime poster here and not just some guy who showed up with videos advertised as hot. The thread title certainly affected your reception.
I think you can see how it might be seen the women did not appear to be the intended audience for your post. But I think the other fighting that went on here might have given the impression your video was a lot more controversial then it actually was.
