QUOTE(Lynette @ May 14 2006, 02:51 PM) [/B] I recently received a PM from a woman here who was asking for comments to be made on her pictures. Maybe some of you got the same one. Anyway, it struck me as sad that anyone would actually use the PM to promote themselves here. Obviously, some women here in the past view this site as "competitive". I fail to see why there should be any kind of competition here. The top ten scores are there to help arket the site for sure. This woman objected and called me rude and jealous (of just what, I'm not sure of) when I answered and told her that I thought she sounded a little desperate to solicit comments by begging for opinions on the messanger. I believe that if someone feels compelled to make a comment on any given picture...they will without be asked. Anyone else get this message? Everybody uses this site in their own way. What one person wants, another may find strange or "sad". As long as the person isn't asking for something outrageous, it's just as easy to ignore it rather than be judgemental. I personally think that asking for comments is fine, feedback on what she's posting maybe why she's posting in the first place.

I didn't think much of it, but I dind't run over and start check out her profile either. Her PM made it sound like it was going to be a lot of work... check out these pics and rate them, and then check out the profile, and make sure to leave comments on all of them. Chances are I've probably already rated all the pics she has up there so i can't vote again anyway. soliciting isn't that big of a deal. I know some girls really like to see if they can get up there on the ratings. but I think asking for suggestions on what people would like to see would be a great way to get your ratings up. If she were more active on teh boards, she may already have some of those ideas. Okay. i should end this post. DInner's ready.

I either received a PM like you did, Lynette, or I read a similar thing elsewhere on the board. If it was PM, I discarded it and deleted it. Either way, I find it annoying. If she's more avtive on the boards, she has a better chance of getting a higher rating and comments. I too am competitive by nature, but I don't take the ratings seriously here. I do enjoy the comments, though. However, what happens, happens, and I don't think people should solicit comments/ratings. Even if they promise a sexy picture (or whatever) in return. So...with that being said........VOTE FOR ME!!!!! I'm SOOOO joking!

Received the same PM I imagine from the same women about 5 days running now and I whole heartedly agree with your comments. Shameless self promotion is ugly! Please discuss in bondiguy's 411!

Tippy, I have voted for you anytime that I can...And it is allways a 10. Now lets discuss when we can get together so that I can put my ballot in your box.

QUOTE(Assfucker @ May 15 2006, 02:38 PM) bobaloo keeps PMing me to comment on his cock pics, but I rufuse here is what freud had to say about projection... Psychology: Projection: The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others: “Even trained anthropologists have been guilty of unconscious projectionof clothing the subjects of their research in theories brought with them into the field” (Alex Shoumatoff). The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt. Basically, you using projection as a defense mechanism. you're lashing out at me because you're mad at yourself for not being able to control your strange behavior of PMing pics of your wang. Good think you're not PMing Gnappy. He'd consider it a proposal and be halfway to your house already.

QUOTE(Pinkcheeks214 @ May 14 2006, 09:25 PM) I think the 'Top Melons this month' section makes this site competitive. If you're able to vote for yourself, then you can keep yourself in the top 20. Isn't that why women start threads for themselves in the 411 section, more attention for themselves so people check out their pics. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, positive praise is why everyone posts pics to this site. Yes, but don't you think it's kinda sad when women resort to "begging" for attention? The pictures are generally posted for fun. Boobs are fun things. We all have fun with them. When the need for praise is so strong that that a woman actually begs for attention... well it just seems very sad. Let's face it, we're all exhibitionists to some degree here. But showing your boobs for fun, and soliciting votes arre two very different things. Besides, there are some women here that have NO chance of ever being in the top ten, but are out there trying to "buy" votes with promises of more personal types of pictures to be e-mailed in exchange for a vote or comment. Just sounds like they have self-image issues.

I agree with you on this Lynette, why not just take it as it comes and enjoy just posting on the board, soliciting for comments by promising pics is kinda pointless. If that's the only way to get good comments then they are sort of not real comments IMO
