let the women in blue post a pic (within Terb policies) of what they like. censorship works both ways. what is fair for some should be fair for all!
share your opinion but don't dare try to tell anyone what to do ... know yourself ... and grow up! Real men deal ... less men squeal!

I like the beefcake pics
Those guys look familiar - I'm sure they're terbites, yeah I recognize them from work!

Some people think that if you are the first to abuse the other with swear words then you win the argument. Let them keep on thinking that cause it makes for a great asshole detectorlandscaper said:
You didn't get a good look at me, I was the one puking in the garbage bin. Oh why do they have to make these sidewalls so high?smylee52 said:Really . You look familiar too I just can't remember which street corner it was
I think I would prefer to see some slides of a half naked man over some of the photos Chubbs has posted. (no homo).
This is just my casual observation on this topic (sort of) that I've garnered through various industry forums.
I think a large part of the issue at hand here - and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong to those in opposition to sig pics of men - is that there are a minority of guys here that believe that some of the ladies, particularly advertisers, have too large and vocal a presence on TERB.
The undercurrent is that these SPs have undue influence over a board that is/was designed to give information to clients. This influence can come in many forms, but it includes allowing for the existence of a no review policy, a neutering of reviewers through a set of undefined "standards" that has led to threads being closed or deleted, and the ability for said agencies/SPs to post in opposition to reviews and viewpoints to the point of being argumentative - which also sometimes results in a secondary benefit of a thread being locked or axed altogether.
I think that this group of members believes that TERB is a bit of a boys' club and that the loud and prominent - some might say threatening - presence and leverage of these ladies/SPs is a bit off-putting and unwelcome and corrupts the "integrity" of the board. You know, women are to be seen, but not heard from - unless it's to say "Yes" to out every sexual whim, want and demand!
Flame on.

It is a lovely piece of art that you have tastefully presented to the board for our enjoyment . Sad to say this is now also known as a refreshing change from recent events that have seen pictures being used to antagonize many male members of this board. Those of us who don't care to be reminded that we have long passed the days of having the muscular hard body .I believe the rational is "eye candy". What a load. You can put "eye candy" on your hard drive. When you've been told it offends people and you put it on a public forum you are just doing it to piss people off . We particularly resent that these images pollute almost every forum on this board . I think the sports forum is still safe . I see more and more ladies are jumping on the bandwagon telling us " real men deal or some such nonsense " . Well ,news flash , vanity is not just the domain of women . Men don't like getting older either and to have it thrown in your face everytime you log onto TERB doesn't make for happy guys. We are not on TERB to "deal" . We are here to find NSA sex that makes us feel good .Jade4u said:
Thankfully the ignore function wipes out the offending images and their originator. . Unfortunately resentment is a poison that infects for a long time . I used to be supportive of women on the board but sorry to say I couldn't care less at this point .
