  • Men..

    Okay Guys, what's going on? I know there's a lot of men that read and post on this forum, but why are these exercises challenges pretty much devoid of men? What's the matter? Scared to get your asses whooped by women?

        Well... maybe the majority of guys here aren't body-builder/competition lifters like you and a few others are, and perhaps they don't want to be "shamed" or embarassed about the type/amount/intensity of exercise that they do. Not all men desire to exercise to extremes... some just want to be fit. Just a guess, though, really.

        BTW, I've been meaning to tell you that I like the kitty in your siggie.

          That is a pretty kitty!

          I really should join the workout challenges! Not a man, though. And if I was, I'd be a walking miracle considering I've given birth to 3 children.

          I see a lot more women on this forum usually.

            I've been wondering that too. I think it might just be the overall ratio.......

            less guys = less participants

              That's Emmy. I love that little cat. She's really bonded to me. She's extremely vocal (what female isn't ) to the point it is hilarious. Alas, she's not my cat but 'belongs' to my good friend Diana.
              I'm really into cats. I'm a heavy, heavy cat lover.

                Yeah, I really love that little beast face thing. Her name is Emmy. She lives over a friends house with four other cats. The other cats are male. I can spend hours just watching their interactions. They are just hilarious, it's almost like watching a bunch of kids playing in a play ground.
