Ok guys, this has become more than a stupid game. It seriously is degrading and very childish to our female members. They are here because they want to be a part of the community just the same as anyone else. They don't want to hear some 19 yr. old kid gawkin at them like a piece of meat on the forum.

It's disrespectful and you're momma's would slap you around for treatin a girl like that. This isn't Animal House.

This isn't me being protective or any of that, this is me being serious about a growing problem that our female members DO NOT appreciate and DO NOT deserve.

Honestly the likelyhood of a self-respecting woman dropping her life to go visit you because you made some post about "OMGz0rs marry me!" are about the same chances of my SR ever running again (think greater odds than being struck by lightning, while holding a winning lottery ticket, while driving a real Nismo 270R, on Friday, at 2:32 pm, in Guatamala).

Exhibit some self-control, they are part of the family... treat them as such.

definately. Before you type it think about how you would feel if someone said it to your sister. If it doesn't feel right don't say it. Our ladies have a good sense of humor but treat them with respect.

If you run around seeking attention, you might end up getting what you asked for.

True enough but that doesn't excuse poor behavior in response. Now that I am really seeing this(I really hadn't payed much attention to this in the past) I will be calling foul on both sides of the coin.We can joke and have a good time without taking it "there" let's be gentlemen AND ladies. Richard Simmons can continue to be whatever he is.

lol i was just following alan on the vicki posts, i didn't make one.

i think female enthusiasts are good for the community, as long as guys are mature enough to try to hit on them cuz they(females) drive the same/better car than them =X

Show some respect to the females dammit! without them all you have is your right hand!

I believe this is the same excuse a rapist sometimes uses. "She asked for it."

Thanks for posting this thread, Alan.

1. The guys who are being creepy are being creepy.2. You got the attention you sought.

Two truths, neither one dependent on the other. Its not about asking for anything. Its about risk assessment.

Yes please act your age.(The people who see this know who I am talking about.) I have a big sister, and I wouldnt want some tool acting like this toward her. It would probally cause me to do something about it. Im not trying to be a hard ***, i'm just telling you how it is and how it should be. So have respect for the women on this site and respect for women overall.

Bad photo, great dinner.

It was the night we took the radio show out of the studio and interviewed Ann Coulter at Gonzaga University. I ordered veal with spinach and mashed potatoes. $30 well spent!

I'm glad that HP Photofart camera is gone.

I just want to chime in here and support what Alan and TMS have said.

Our female membership is very important, and I'll not have them degraded, ridiculed, pandered to, patronized or humped.

I've got a good mind to hire a female moderator to monitor JUST these types of things... *hmmmmm*

Behave.

Much more effective and mature than your leg-humping "parody" thread last night. I don't it got the point across.

I agree with what has been said also. I have to admit that I participated somewhat in the threads mentioned but at the same time felt they went a bit overboard. I especially felt that way when I noticed this person took their face pic off this site. I'd sock a guy if he said some of those things to my sister...though I don't have a sister.

Alan, I do have a question though. You said this:

Do you think the "degrading" started with the "Most beautiful women" thread? There's some tasteful posts of "Real" women in that thread, but what about the no name nudies? I think that thread may have raised the bar on what is tolerable. Along with the nudity you get the comments or gawking and then it quickly turns into trash. I'm not saying it should be deleted (heck no it souldn't), but I just think it raised the bar for whats acceptable on Nico.

You'd be surprised of how some people change personas once they get behind the screen of a computer. Anonimity is a tool for some people, to say, what they never would say in public. My friend is usually really calm and passive in person, but online hes a total hostile loon.

these are just kids trying to hook up with chics online, nothing more.

I have agree with this post. Last night/this morning, we, (I contributed alot) steped way out of line.

I had no intentions of degrading anyone by what I posted, eventhough that is how it turned out .

To Vicki and any other females that felt degraded and/or offended by anything that I said, I would like to say, "I am Sorry".

In the future, I will try to refrain from posting inappropriate comments in the wee hours.

Well you could hire nico mom but she is a full time mom already. So who could be up for hire? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GREG. DO NOT MAKE VICKI A MOD. That would be equil to a nuclear bomb going off in the united states.
