Yes they did. One was even with the guys stripped nearly naked with only golden boxer briefs on. You get the idea. It was.. revealing to say the least.RedheadDane said:Errr... mods... did you go in an remove our (mine and... can't remember who else posted) pictures of nice-looking (half-naked) podium boys?

But I've seen podium boys come into the sport, and I don't mind at all. Equal playing field. Though the podium boys and girls should probably be scrapped. Not a huge fan of them at all.
BigMac said:Yes, Foxxy did just that to annoy you. 'Cos he knew you really really liked the Babes thread.

There is, but it's labeled NSFW and you have to be 18+ to enter...Sciocco said:Why don't you guys make a subreddit or something? Hell, there may already be one.
If this kind of morale was at the heart of the BoB thread, it's becoming increasingly clear why the owners took it down.Amsterhammer said:Yeah, it just sucks to be a woman, huh? On this particular, specific subject, you clearly, and by your own admission, have no idea what you're talking about, so I'll consider your stated opinion as being worthless.

There are several posts in this thread and other articulating each side of the discussion extremely well. If you really are interested in people's reasoning I suggest you start with these and ask questions, discuss them.
What's wrong with respectfully admiring someone's physique?hrotha said:Voted 'Yes (I am a man)'.
Reading the posts of some of the No voters, you'd think they were sculpting marble statues in the best Hellenistic fashion or writing poems of courtly love in Provençal.

Sorry but what logic is this? Of course that the total number of no votes will be just a tiny fraction of the total number of posters. As well as that the total number of all other votes will be just a tiny fraction of the total number of posters. There are currently 93,197 members on this forum. By far the most successful poll I could quickly find was Froome vs. Contador from 2013 which attracted whopping number of 730 votes - or a 0.78% of all current members. So I really do not understand what expectation you have?Merckx index said:Lessee, 4.5 million divided by 7 years is 1760 hits per day, about one hundred times the number of no votes so far. I also note that CN claims there have been more 90,000 users browsing this forum at some point or another. So sure, let’s give the thread more time, but in my experience, polls like this usually have a lot of responses in the first few days, when most people who come to this forum regularly see it, and much fewer later, when occasional visitors may see it. I’ll be quite surprised if the total number of no votes exceeds a tiny fraction of the total number of posters, but of course I'll accept what the results indicate. One of the reasons I started the poll was to get an idea of how large a fraction it is.
