Then I guess I'm showing people that I'm long-winded (and love parenthesis!)

PS: How did this become an age debate? Let Missfabulous be! God, when did men start hating 18 year old girls? Is this Bizarro world?

no one can put you down if you don't let them and
as your friends here we won't let them either. be
you 18 or 75, let the dissers diss all over themselves!!

haha, thank you!
just let me be.
gahhh.

and you have some very
nice arms, by the way.

Don't let it bother you one bit miss. We all have had rude and
not nice e-mail at one time or another.

Jack I agree with Puffins- do what you are comfortable with.
It really does'nt matter what anyone else thinks.

lol, thanks.
i'm glad to see
people actually
taking MY side
for onceee.

Don't let them get you down. You are mature You're a nice person. Ignore the cretins Who put you down. Enjoy your time here and post in forums regularly. When I was 18 I hated the way I was treated too so I try not to talk down to the younger members I treat them as equals. Because I've met some people who are 18-25 who are mature beyond their years and i've met people who are 35 plus who have the maturity of a 9 year old. So don't give up ok.

I guess it depends. If the picture is a posed one of say a person in the bathroom in front of the mirror, then I wouldn't care for it. Just gives the impression they are too into themselves and that's all they are about. Don't get me wrong, if you work to stay in shape that's cool, but it's not everything. If you are hanging with your friends at the pool/beach then it's alright.

there are young people has more intellagence than adults...im 42 yrs. old and seen it...

lol, i know right.
i think i hold my
own pretty well;

no need to put me down.
geesh.

I wasn't putting you down.

I think I'd be interested more if I saw less (initially). It also tells me that someone might be looking for sleazy encounters instead of something more substantial. Of course, if it's a beach picture, a shirt and tie would look incredibly stupid! LOL

i know; you always take my side.
haha, you're very sweet.

I'm not wearing any pants in my pic, does that count?

Doh... I admit, sometimes I am hypnotized by that sexy man in the mirror (closest I come to being gay) but have you ever tried to take a picture of yourself WITHOUT a mirror? I have, it's hard. And it's not like I flex for them or anything, since I take them to see what my tone is like at a resting state.

Besides, if I had a girl to take pictures of me (not about to ask my guy friends to do it), I wouldn't be here!

Ah well, I guess I will take em back down in a while. I really do appreciate the input though, and I wasn't expecting nearly this many people to respond

All my pictures I got someone else to take them.

You are young, ties the reason you respond in the way that you are.
You feel like because we older ones have a different way, that we are attacking or putting you down. That's not it darlin. Age does something to us all. Experience...does something to us all.
The people on here will be here for you, as long as you are nice and caring. You seem to be both. As well as cute as hell.
Most on here will respond in a way that they deem reasonable and helpful to you. Most are parents themselves. What do you expect from them? You are 18 honey. You are going to have plenty of parental guidance here.

I remember being young once. I loved seeing anything I could see on a guy. No shirt, pants, barefooted. I was just excited by the sight of a guy in his natural beauty.
But, it has changed for me. When I see a guy without his shirt or shirtless and pants hanging a little too low. I think to myself, hmmmmmmm, whats he selling?
Don't get me wrong; I love to look at a mans behind though. Walk in front of me honey. Dressed of course.

But, for me...I would much rather see a man dressed and for his profile. It is like that first impression date, you know? Let me see the good later.
Gawd...wish I was 18 again.

The pics I've posted here I've taken myself. None of them shirtless though.

oh, i don't mind having a parents input,
i need somebody to be a parent to me,
my mom doesn't do a thing to help me,
that's not what i mind, i just mind
the hatemail that i get. that's all.

Guys who POSE with their shirts off, regardless of age or physical appearance, are D-BAGS!

The trick is, you just have to tell yourself:

"Hey, that's just some random D-bag on the internet, why should I care what they think"

Thats what I do. But then again I may not be the best role-model.
