[Raster]

2. Thank you for posting!

[lunatica]

3. Ooooo! Eye candy!

[monmouth]

4. I wonder if the Feminism group will be outraged..LOL...n/t

[CTyankee]

5. I'm a feminist and I think the guys are cute. But I also saw "Magic Mike."

And I am the proud grandma of 5, soon to be 6, grandkids...

[joeybee12]

14. I haven't...I think Magic Mike is one for DVD...

So you can "pause" at the good parts!

[CTyankee]

15. Hate to say this but it was strangely not that erotic...

Soderbergh is a strange filmmaker. I don't go to his movies so I was a newbie at this one. It has a "removed" quality to it. Sorry to go all artsy-fartsy on you, but you do become aware of the fact that the male stripper routines are in fact choreographed (and, you learn later, by a woman at that...).

It is interesting. There is great dancing and some good acting. But it is a long movie and some of it moves slowly. I wouldn't recommend it just for a fast thrill...but a longer glance, yes, it has something to say about that "underworld" and also about what it is about our society that people work for a pittance to be demolished socially and financially...

[joeybee12]

16. I haven't seen it mainly because it seems like it's taking the whole stripper

world and sort of sanitizing it with a typical formula. The guy from True Blood...can't think of his name...he plays a guy who devolves into drugs and prostitution, from what I've read...how did they handle that?

[CTyankee]

19. well, it becomes a rationalization that that is going to work for you and you can beat the

system, that is the problem Soderberg is dealing with. I wouldn't call it "sanitized" at all. It is pretty gritty in one sense. The only way it isn't is with the choreography since you are aware of real artistry at work and it is terrific. But what is wrong with that? Can't art be real and vice versa? While I don't think the choreography alters the situation that much (because so does the camera if you think about it) it does give it a strange beauty.

[joeybee12]

20. I guess I'll have to see it...

But doesn't Chance Tatum (is that his name) have a fairly normal relationship in the movie?

[CTyankee]

21. Yeah, he's the lead character and he has a realization about that. I hope I am not being a

spoiler here...so I'll shut up now...

[lunatica]

8. I'm an old Feminist from way back when it started

And I'm certainly not offended.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

9. I watch the women's beach volleyball for the behinds...

Now they might be...

[treestar]

17. I'm of the feminist school that thinks since it will never stop for women

Men may as well be subjected to it, too.

[Merlot]

22. Newsflash: feminists don't hate men

While they won't be outraged at the idea of hot olympians, your post will give them a chance to scoff, I'm sure.

[mythology]

28. I'm pretty sure that the comment was not meant to imply that feminists hate men

More the fact that if a thread was started based on a slideshow of attractive female athletes, there would be likely be objections due to objectifying of the athletes.

[Merlot]

36. The tone of the comment was sneering towards a group - feminists

Painting any group with a broad brush doesn't help the discussion. It was using any excuse to provoke an attack on feminists.

There is a large difference between objectifying someone and admiring a photo of a person.

[Warren DeMontague]

34. I think it's only a very small sub-group that is hung up on people being visually attracted to other

people.

Most folks understand that it's perfectly natural.

[EX500rider]

6. And for the guys:

[SoCalDem]

Mother Nature designed it that way

[one_voice]

10. Yum.

[HappyMe]

11. Yes, please!

[vaberella]

12. Matthew Anderson of the US Volleyball team. Yummm!

Also and one guy from the Italian Archery team.

[riverbendviewgal]

13. That was a very drooling experience.

Wow....and thanks for posting these gorgeous men.

[joeybee12]

18. I'd like to know how they chose these..all good looking guys BUT

There are tons I can think of who didn't make it. Where are the American swimmers and rowers?

[Merlot]

23. It was a personal favorites list:

from the lister: "This list favours my tastes and panders to my types. It’s not meant to be your list. It’s not meant to be everyone’s list. It’s just my list."


The pictures are great, but the comments are fun too:

43. Andre Vonarburg
Rowing, Switzerland, 34

Another tasty chunk from the people who brought you Toblerone.

[joeybee12]

37. That explains it...the guy is definitely going for the Latin look...

As opposed to the Nordic Stud appeal.

[Logical]

24. Wow, imagine if someone would have posted the 50 women. They would be attacked! n-t

[KokoBWarez]

25. Where's Redqueen? Seabeyond? Trumad?

Oh I forgot, it's ok to objectify men because it's better to objectify men AND women than it is to stop objectifying women. Gotcha.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand *BOOM*

That was my account being insta-banned because I have a penis, and as Zardoz says, the penis is evil.

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. Yes. Yes it was.

*yawn*

[msanthrope]

30. Record time! nt

[Warren DeMontague]

33. You know, one can't make wooden shoes, fix windmills, and frequent hash bars all day long

it's important for liberals to have hobbies.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Ooohh! Very nice!

...Is it getting warm in here?

[AnnieBW]

29. Talk About Olympic Spirit!

I think that I'm going to be watching a lot more water polo and fencing...

[William769]

31. K & fucking R!

Do you know how many people were chastised for similar posts like this in the LGBT Group?

How can anyone be upset with such beauties? Not me!

Sometimes do we not only need to stop and smell the roses, we also need to stop and take in the sights!

[JI7]

32. during the opening with the march of the nations, i thought "the world is full of beautiful people"

then i remembered these are the top athletes and most of us look nothing like that.

[Warren DeMontague]

35. Speak for yourself!

I look just like that 2nd guy.

Well, maybe sort of.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

38. So where's the list of 50 sexiest female olympic athletes!

[Prism]

39. The comments on that site are a riot

I actually haven't spent any time staring at the men because I'm looking too forward to what the author will say each time.

[Matariki]

40. Oh dear, the day just got noticeably warmer

But, I have to say, for an international event that photo collection is a little heavy on the Anglo side.

[Matariki]

41. Oh, and the captions are funny.

thanks for sharing. made me smile.

[HappyMe]

42. kick

For an encore look see.
