Numerous selfies with hardly any clothing on is the same as posing shirtless with shorts/boxers
Attention - mucho attention whores out there, both men and women, most humans like to be admired

I am a woman who lifts weights because I love the way it feels to lift weights. I love the burn. I love moving the metal. I like the way it makes my muscles strain and are sore and the way they get defined and big.

I love the way that everyday activities become easier because I have more strength. I like the way it augments the other sports I play.

I think that the OPs posts are likely coming from a place of insecurity. Why would you not want to be with someone who took care of themselves?

Or graduated college already. See what happens when you assume? If I wanted attention, I'd probably go to a forum where my picture could be displayed at the very least. I positively don't want attention from you. Bye bye now

I'm speaking about others insecurity that is at such a high level that they jump on the fitness craze just to boast to people and post on social media excessively to feel positive about themselves. It wreaks of low self esteem and a terrible need for validation, and it ultimately doesn't satisfy either or else at some point they wouldn't feel the need to do it anymore.

I'm not assuming. I'm basing my best guess off of the level of maturity an intellect displayed through your posts. I don't know you so I can only go off what you write. It's not consistent with a college grad. It's very...JV locker room.

Your best guess is pretty far off from the truth. I hope you stay away from the psychology field.

It may be, but it is a reasonable guess based on what you've displayed. Not that I believe the fallacy that educated = intelligent, but college grads do tend to at least try to keep appearances. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to divulge where you got your degree? Some of us here have kids and it's never too early to start eliminating college options. If I'm going to be paying big bucks for it I'd at least like to know they're churning out a quality product.

God, I remember bodybuilding.com

That MISC section was so annoying. It was funny up until I was 20.

OK, I think the attacks come from a place of taking what he said very personally.

I get what JobSeeker is saying. I don't agree with it, but it's his personal preference. I don't see why people have to go to the absolute and say "well I like girls who lift so therefore there is something WRONG with you/you must be uneducated/must be too young if you don't"

I really don't see how education or age bracket comes into play here. Help me out.

This is coming from a guy who likes girls that lift.

It's not an attack, it's an observation based on the content of his posts. It reeks of attention *****-dom to come onto a fitness forum and say you won't date women who lift. If you won't do it, does it need to be stated? And given his reasons for not doing so, the attention he brings on himself by stating he won't do it makes for an ironic quality to his thread. When people called him out for it he grew mildly combative, not the way one would expect an educated man to react.

Furthermore, the descriptions he gave in his initial post are not born in critical thought so much as emotional reaction to something he dislikes.

It's not an attack to say it's void of maturity or intellect. It's a conclusion based on observation.
