Complaints that girls make about muscle pics share

Jul 02, 2021 - edited Aug 07, 2021 - permalink

What do you guys think about girls complaining on the fact that her photos are being shared on websites like GwM?

I saw 'deadleii' recently doing this somewhere, saying her pics were being sexualized here without her consent and that the act itself was disgusting. 'Hanner' did this too. She even recorded a video on her youtube page saying how 'creepy' this community (and the hole idea) was.

Do you guys feel you are 'creepy' like that, lol? Is there anyone wrong in this situation?

The problem is there are several users here who treat this as a porn site, and so they talk about these women as if they are pornstars. And so you get sexually explicit comments about their boners or about what they'd do to them in bed. We're constantly having to delete comments like this and it's a shame because I don't understand how anyone can have an overwhelming desire to let everyone know about their hard-on. So much that they would risk getting banned for it.

It's up to you guys. You already know how they feel. Perhaps a degree of responsibility falls upon us to make sure we're not coming off as creeps to them?

I totally agree with you. I never use an explicit or abusive word in this environment (I've never interact in any porn site, so this is universal lol) just because this is not a place to seek for self pleasure related to sex imo. I've used 'creepy' not to include myself or others who behave like me, but to highlight that this is a general word of a conduct that does not reflect the majority of people here I believe. Definitely some will behave 'creepy', but this will happen in any community or public space. My concern is that maybe girls are considering the whole thing as creepy (but this could be only her personal impressions), and not only that fellows that will behave as if it were in a porn space.

The problem with this site is that, yeah, some people act really weird....

Did Hanner say that? I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5RITa4Mxcw&a...

And it seemed she was cool with it.

Hey look, at least we aren't Booba.tv 😄

A quick look at deadleii’s page here and it’s her who is offensive making a video about guys listing after her (myself NOT included) whilst deliberately dressing ‘sexy’ abs reading for views/ clicks etc. Talk about hypocrisy.

it's a funny situation considering the whole thing. Sometimes people sensualize themselves; sometimes they complain about being sensualized. Not saying what is right or wrong, but the concept of what is creepy can be ambiguous. I don't think it's a big deal talk about and admire strong women. Definitely not creepy for me, but I recognize there is excess by some.

I have an ambivalnce thinking about this issue.

On the one hand - yeah, genrrally a lot of people in the net are creeps and their comments are crossing the line between admiration and tactless kinkiness. I always try to be polite, but I might wrote something overly 'enthusiastic' about girls who blew my mind ;) But I saw some comments, which were simple disgusting, I even reported them, because they were making us, the entire community, looking like band of fapping mind less monkeys. This is one side of the coin

Other is that many of those girls and women are posting sexualised photos of themself. No one need to make these photos 'sexualised' because they already are. And - here is a bit of hypocrysy - on their own IG, among their own fanbases, they have comments like I mentioned! Rude, crossing the line, sexually offensive. And the difference between GWM site and their Instagrams is... that here such comments are removed by mods.

I think these women see it as losing followers to another platform. When obviously the case is that we're actually promoting them because we in no way hide their IG accounts from anyone. I've found quite a few of them through this site that would have otherwise been harder to find the old fashioned way by searching through IG manually.

Oh, stupid men, why you so stupid?

Just because these girls upload videos, and images of themselves in tight, skimpy outfits and/or act in a manner that shows off their hard, bulging, veiny, tanned, sweat-covered, ripped muscles in semi-HD quality, free of charge, on a daily basis doesn't mean...

...lost my train of thought

Agreed. There's nothing inherently sexual about the images on this site. I personally visit to just admire and applaud the hardwork of these amazing athletes, and discuss protein powder and training regimes. Anyone who finds these images titillating in the least is a certified pervert.

I don't how they can see this site as a way for losing 'clout'. It’s like additional promotion for them. Just like you, I discover many girls thanks to this site, for years I had no Instagram account whatsoever, so the only way I was following these girls was through this site. Recently I created IG just to follow my favorite girls, even if using GWM is way more comfortable for me.

Just an idea, but what do you think about adding to gallery a small chart with basic info about girl, for example her nationality, year of born, her weightdivision and LINK to her IG, website, onlyfans, youtube Channel or whatever social media particular girl has. It would be helpful for users and maybe girls would appreciate that also.

In the case of deadleii, maybe she was upset because it was not the intention to see their muscles flexes abroad her Twitch adorers (I think that is the word in this case too lol). Most likely there was no original intent on seeing her videos outside that space because that was/is not the way she is 'promoting' herself. She is not a bodybuilder like the girls above.

But, of course, this is not the case to point out people of this site creeps. At least the majority of us are on only pretty women admirers I suppose. So the minority of creeps end up damaging the community and pushing away girls like her (one of my favorites btw).

Anyone who thinks they have any control over how other people act or think is being a fool. If you have an amazing body that you like to display and you can't accept that some people are going to sexualize you, you're going to have a hard time living here on Earth.

Yea i hope i am allowed to say this but i will never understand how some women think compliments are creepy like just comments like you look great or well done can be considered creepy so how am i supposed to talk to them.

I don't like sarcasm. Unlike most internet users I do not think is a higher form of intelligence. On to your point. You describe the girls as shallow and give that as a reason to ??? Did I miss your point?

I just watched the hanner youtube video and I got a pretty big dose of secondhand embarrassment from it. At this point I'm so desensitized to these comments that I often just gloss over them, and I need a good reminder of what it must be like as a woman outside the community who comes across her pics here.

I'd harp more about "DON'T FUCKING INVADE THE WOMEN'S SOCIAL MEDIA YOU FUCKING IDIOTS" but I'm a bit resigned to the fact that the people who most need to hear that are the least likely to listen.

[butt pics]

I get your point but you're assuming that the women who post those kinds of pics are the same ones that complain about being sexualized, which is not necessarily true.

I feel GWM is going to take a disproportionate amount of criticism purely by its nature. A page 1 result with a URL like GirlswithMuscle.com is going to draw attention, no matter how well it's regulated and moderated. We all know if you dig a little deeper there's a whole other world of pay-walled content sharing on huge sites like Reddit, which you would think should draw their ire more so.

On one hand, i do feel guilty about liking this shit, but also, there could be way worse stuff to like...

I agree this is likely. I get the impression a lot of women become annoyed at what they perceive as a loss of control over their image. Basically, although they might have signed up for Twitch or Insta, they did not sign up for this. Now we all realize that such a reaction is not exactly rational because of the nature of The Internet, but I can see how someone could feel that way. These image sharing platforms (like Insta) really create the sense that it is a closed community. They most certainly do not try to disavow what the reality actually is.
