What might be your opinion of a woman who feels a need to display provocative T & A pics of herself online & say they're there not to attract men, but solely because "it's who she is & feels great & sexy about herself"?
Assertive, strong woman...or a total load of BS? Feels a need for attention etc?

Hey Allegra
You know- you're absoultely right. It *isn't* any of my business....it's the *world's* business when she decides to post her pics online.

The very last thing anyone needs allegra, is yet Another armchair, internet psychologist preaching about what's rational or irrational. You don't know me...or the woman involved, or anyone else who posted here, for that matter. I merely asked for an opinion on the subject. If the question posed was not to your liking for whatever reason...that's a real big drag for you then, isn't it?

If you follow this through to it's lowest common denominator - the fact is this:
In order to feel sexy, women (heterosexual at least) do so by appearing more provocative and sexy TO men. The more feedback they receive, the sexier they feel. To say they're dressing up "for themselves" is absolute crap. The resulting ego-boost is indeed to benefit themselves but the MEANS of achieving said ego-boost relies solely on the reactions of men.

Er. What's with the narrow-mindedness. As though you've never seen a pair of t.its or a.ss on any woman before in your life. Grow up.
Women can show their t.its and a.ss to whomever they want. They don't belong to anyone but the woman herself. If sex-hungry men didn't provide such a vast market for porn and "sexy pictures" in the first place, women wouldn't develop the mindset from our society that their greatest asset is their bodies (not their minds) and so they must protect their naked bodies from being seen at all costs.
Ugh. America is so body-phobic. It disgusts me. _You_ are plainly insecure for feeling a need to rip on a girl for such a petty thing. Why don't you focus a bit more on the girl's intelligence instead of what she's doing with her body (something that is, in any case, none of your business, unless you're dating and have problems with irrational jealousy, in which case she should not be dating you).
P.S. Apparently you worry too much about the "world" (whatever you think you know about the "world") and not enough about yourself. And neither the trite "she wants attention" nor the "Let's get some Y!A users to call her names!" mindset furthers your argument. Confident women are hard enough to come by in this world without men like you bashing them over your own personal inadequacies or jealousy.

Definitely a load of B.S. A strong confident woman feels comfortable in her own skin and is confident with her body. She doesn't need others to see her and comment on how hot she is. There are many reasons for posting the pictures and I cannot think of one that would be positive.
Sounds like she is seeking attention and is willing to lower her standards to negative attention.
Wants to build her self esteem.
Has been rejected from men in the past and now has to overcompensate by getting lots of positive feedback now.
Many reasons....too many to list. In my opinion it isn't a good thing.
Hope this helps! SD

Sounds like she really is needing some attention. Maybe she is being neglected by her other half and needs to get some attention some how. I hope she can get what she is needing without posting pics of herself all over the internet. Thats just not safe:(

I think that's a complete load of bs. Feeling sexy and great about yourself is one thing but when you're showing it for the whole world to see on the internet, I'm sorry, you're looking for attention. These women know the kind of reactions they will get and they thrive on it.

In my opinion even if they say they don't want the attention and its who she is because she does feel great about herself. She secretly wants the attention from others girls or guys. To help boost her confidence about herself knowing that others are looking at her, even though it draws negative attention as well.

I think she is lacking something within herself. Maybe she does not feel confident that she looks good. A need for attention, yes.

It's a total load of BS. You can take pictures of yourself and not display your butt and boobs. I think those are the women that know they look good, want you to see they look good, but don't want you to say anything to them.

I agree.....totally showing off & trying to see what kind of rise she can get out of how many men.

Paris Hilton is proud of her body too, you don't think she does it for attention do you?
