You know, Lots of people make stupid comments publically, not one has asked me to put on a shirt (not even privately so they wouldn't be embarassed). I would hope that is because people respect that I am old and don't care or that they just love the public attack because of some other issue (unknown to me). But it seems that public attacks are much more important than the issue. I thought this was the Politics and Religion forum. Not attack me forum because of my desire to look the way I look in real life instead of something that I am not.
I do apologize... that was not meant as an attack on you, personally, Ken. Truly.
I was raised in an age and environment where men did not go around shirtless. I find it odd... and oddly disconcerting to see men using shirtless photos of themselves on their profiles. I had mentioned to Firm just the other day that I couldn't understand why so many doms use shirtless photos. (One of the first photos of Firm that he sent to me was one of him without a shirt.)
Perhaps I'm unusual, but as a woman, I'm not particularly attracted to photos of half-naked men, nor do I consider them terribly flattering or dignified. Regardless of the age or physical shape of the man.
If it makes you feel any better, I'd have said the same about all the female cleavage around here, too. Though I do understand that men much more appreciate the visual. [;)]
And no... your appearance is not of more importance than the topic of your thread. I just found it visually distracting and somewhat amusing the back and forth exchange between yourself and DomYngBlk (shirtless, as well) that dominated the first few posts of this thread.
For what it is worth, I agree it will be interesting to see if earmarks can be stopped for the next couple of years. Unfortunately, no matter what political stripe they are, I have doubts about the ability of politicians to change.
