JayB Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 If you pull the photos, scores of men ranging from bearded, hemp-clad, marginally employed dudes living out of the backs of their Subarus, to intense, introverted and awkward techies languishing in their cubicles between trips to the North Cascades will figure that all hope is lost and hang their heads in despair. All joking aside, I think the *last* reason any woman posted her pic or sanctioned it posted to the "hot climbing chics" thread was to "bring hope" to some cardre of socially inept guys who can't otherwise get a date. You couldn't be more correct, of course, but it was an unintended consequence that I thought that they should be made aware of before doing anything that might heap yet another misfortune on this vulnerable and oft-neglected population. Think of what would happened if the editors of Climbing had come out and revealed that the photo of whatshername was a hoax. Much wailing around the firepits at J-Tree and elsewhere had any such thing come to pass... Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 If it's any consolation, I got in trouble for posting on that thread. Just in case it makes any difference Quote
JayB Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) posting the pictures showed confidence.... starting this thread showed insecurity... so i guess you break even. if you get crap from people for whatever reason, especially for looks - just give the z-snap, an 'eff you' and an 'i look gooo-oood'. Hahaha. The "Z-Snap!" Oft-seen, never so aptly described until now. You should trademark that one. Edited March 29, 2007 by JayB Quote
The_Rooster Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 What are you complaining about Mrs. Archy? I posted my photo and look what happened to me! Quote

Billygoat Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I thought it was great fun! I fully expected to get slagged for posting my pics. Thank Heaven Muffyn came to my rescue And I hope to hang out with more of you, more often. It helps to see folks and put a human touch to this cyberboard. I've met some great people here and gone out and done a great many things. If it wasn't for this board, I would be pretty isolated from the climbing community. I live on an Island for christsake! To you all Quote
ZimZam Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 If it's any consolation, I got in trouble for posting on that thread. Just in case it makes any difference Me too. But I'm gonna put up the calendar anyway, and then pout when she tears it down. Quote

kevbone Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Poor little archy gets her feeling hurt :cry: and everyone pats her back telling her its ok. Holy crap this is pathetic. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Do you need your back patted too little kevy wevy?! Quote
Mr_Phil Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I think Kev's trolling to get his backside boned. Quote
Billygoat Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 So when a woman posts a pic of herself (especially on the famous Hot Climbing Chics threa) mean she is shallow? If so, would this also be true when a guy posts a pic of himself? Just curious... Girls who post pictures of themselves are just trolling for love. Guys who post pictures of girls in absentia are obviously stalkers. Guys who post pictures of themselves are shallow. I don't know what girls who post pics of guys are, though...? What about guys who post pics of other guys?! Quote
G-spotter Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I don't know what girls who post pics of guys are, though...? Anyone can play a girl on teh internets. I was surprised at archie's pictures. I had her pictured more as the Log Lady before she posted. Quote
sk Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 Join The Muffy Fan Club Line starts over there... behind me! you guys are making me blush damn it Quote
Billygoat Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 What is Log Lady? Yeah, double that.... This should be good Quote
sk Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 And Muffyn picked right up on that! I love that woman Muffy is da bomb :blush: Quote
selkirk Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 To the girls who posted It's always nice to put smiles and faces with avatars! To the guys who posted some of that I really didn't need to see first thing in the morning, but it sounds like Arch and Muffy appreciated it Archie the only one who knows why you or anyone else posted your picture is you. The opinions of the 99% of the people on hear who don't know anything about you except your projected persona mean squat. To the wankers, I'd say don't be an assclown, but that would imply that you care about the repurcussions of your actions and are capable of change And we wonder why women in this country have body image issues Quote
selkirk Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 And Muffyn picked right up on that! I love that woman Muffy is da bomb :blush: aaah, look at those rosy cheeks Quote
sk Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 I don't think just posting your photo makes you seem shallow. I think it might make you seem like you want attention. But I think almost everyone is a little bit attention whore. People like to be told they look good, and people want to look at others who look good. It's like a little symbiotic ecosystem we've got going here. What pisses me off is that I have posted here for *years* without ever posting a pic of myself. Then I see a thread where a bunch of the ladies here are having fun and supporting each other. And the fallout, of course, is getting shit from the guys on this site. I have never regretted a single post I have put up until this one. I honestly regret posting my pics and getting shit for it. I made a big mistake. whos ass would you like me to kick because that is just bull shit. I haven't seen you in ages and it was awsome to see your face again hunny. Quote
G-spotter Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 The Log Lady from Twin Peaks? You guys are pop-culturally DEAD!!! Quote
