1. She looks like the dude from Everclear on a bikini. lmao

2. Why post on that forum? Seriously. Some of you guys are masochists.

You can judge someone's appearance without cruel ridicule.

And even if that's something that can never be stopped or controlled, i'd rather try than just give up.

Theirs no avoiding it, however it means nothing at the end of the day. The most important judgement is how you judge yourself and knowing how you can improve yourself, or as per the gaming term: level-up.

Oh just ask them. I am sure you will get colorful answers. Hypocrite, troll, etc etc. They will have all kinds of excuses. Long story short people don't like the fact I lean hard to the left and don't fit into the current political leanings of Gaf and as a result I come off as a contrarian to them, but in reality I am just going against the political grain of Gaf. Which doesn't make me a contrarian despite what they say. It just means I don't lean hard to the right. That's not the same thing.


Though this shouldn't be an excuse to break the rules of the forum when it comes to insulting other members, but that doesn't seem to matter much anymore on here.

Your lack of self awareness is pretty stunning.

With her basically self proclaiming herself as the face of the womens team and getting tons of media coverage, SI bikini shoots, endorsements etc..... is she going to equally share that with teammates?

Yes? Megan Rapinoe is a fit, intelligent, and attractive woman. Why would I not? But she is also gay so me finding her attractive doesn't really matter. I just find it funny so many keyboard Warriors are disecting her looks as if they ever stood a chance with someone like her in the first place or that their opinion of her looks even matter. Hence the reference to the meme. It's hilarious how accurate it is to this situation.

Fair, fair. How long would you like your ban to be, NI?

Fuck off.

Tyler it's me, Transhuman.

I just want you to know that meant no ill-will in what I said. I'm not perfect but i'd like to think i'm a compassionate guy, and honestly your comment just seemed like a mean and unnecessarily bitter jab that I think you're better than. Anyway, I will be very sad to see my account inaccessible, if for nothing else than the nostalgia value of going through old messages and such. Take care Tyler.

She's fit. The ESPN body issue and SI love showing off peak athletic bodies across sports.

Her teammates Alex Morgan and Abby Dahlkemper also did shoots and are just more attractive.

Considering the team is all about equal pay, I'm assuming Rapinoe, Morgan and Dahlkemper will be sharing the money they get from SI with the other teammates?

What makes you think she's unintelligent? Just that her views differ from yours?

She believes in the pay gap, she believes Kaepernick, she believes "white people" shouldn't be the leading voice on people of color oppression, she believes to not have a conversation with people with different ideas. And I'm sure she believes a lot of other ridiculous things nobody with a shred of intelligence would believe.

So far her opinions makes her look like a simpleton SJW. I understand having those opinions will make people like NI happy and therefore they are going to praise everything about her, but she doesn't seem smart, at all.

She's playing loud SJW, but looks what's happened. She's everywhere getting tons of exposure, endorsements and SI shoots. She's been playing on the national team for over 10 years and finally has made a name for herself. For the first 9+ years, nobody cared about her. Anyone who faintly remembers her from playing the national team probably didn't even know her name and just knew her as The Roxette Looking Chick (for those of you who knows 80s/90s music).

IMO, she isn't doing this for fair pay. She's doing it to glam up and try to get as much money as possible for herself. She's the face of the team. Alex Morgan is a nobody now. And nobody knows anyone else on the team. It's basically Rapinoe 80%, Morgan 20%, players 3 to 20 = 0% familiarity.

But good on her. She turned a SJW issue into a money grab. Where was this view the past 10+ years when she started on the national team in 2006?

I don't think she is smart enough to have done this on purpose.

She just believes all she says because she is a text book NPC and the media has made her famous for having those beliefs, not the other way around.

I find her disgusting on a few levels. But I respect her riding the wave of fame while it's there. It doesn't last long. You know there's an agenda when Rapinoe gets more exposure than Alex Morgan who people would happily pay to see half naked.

Wow now I know why you post...you are actually completely oblivious to the actual reasons. Even thought people literally spell it out for you when you post ridiculous bullshit.
Dont worry putting your head in the sand and making non sequitur conclusions works for you then more power to you.
The vast amount of people here, I would guess, would be left leaning. The thing is most people look past petty party politics and try to you logic and facts. The facts at the moment make you look like a child when replying to most political posts.

This is the just the beginning. I don't think Rapine will disappear just yet, but she's got to keep it humming because the world cup isn't for another 4 years, she probably won't be part if it anyway since she'll be 38 and nobody cares about her playing on Seattle's NWSL team. I don't think anyone even knew that, and most people don't even know there is a pro womens soccer league. So she's got to milk it as much as possible.

But what will be interesting is if her "equal pay" thing is focused just on her and her team of highly paid national team players. Or if she she really cares about the greater good of the game (women's pro leagues and trying to get people to participate in womens soccer). The NWSL players get paid shit ($20-40k salary limit). People like Rapinoe get paid $250,000+ by the USSF, not the club team. So she's already making 10x more than the avg $30k player.

Going strictly what I see (her being the face of the national team and doing SI shoots and talk shows) it's been all about her.

I don't think she's as unattractive as you seemingly all do but these photos aren't doing it for me. She looks better with pink hair.

Edit Did Hope Solo ever do a cover? She's ridiculously hot.

Wait isn't this misgoynistic toxic masculinity pushed by the patriarchy? Men oogling her in a swimsuit magazine? She should be in a Burka or be trans for it to be stunning or brave. Or is it progressive if lesbians buy the mag to whack it to her as opposed to men? Or maybe the men will become gay lesbians by looking at her?

So can we bring back the bikini comp at Ms Universe and the chicks at F1 now since we are ok with sexualizing women again?

This doesn't answer the question. I mean why YOU in particular? The same ones always going at you doesn't do this to other members

99% of his posts are in politics, so if you really want to know why no one likes him, you shouldn’t have blocked the whole politics sub 😂

His constant moral aggrandizing and highhorsing are insufferable. He thinks he’s better than everyone and constantly wades in to topics like the Jussie Smollett hoax, the Covington kid hoax, the Russia hoax, the Kavanaugh hoax, and many others wagging his finger and telling everyone how bad they are for not believing the alleged victims (as long as they aren’t white males) all to boost his own ego. Then whenever he turns out to be wrong, he just disappears from the thread and won’t respond anymore. He never shows any signs of having learned from his mistakes because he’s always the first to jump on the next story with even a whiff of social justice flavor.

He’s also an active Resetera member and is frequently denigrating GAF and its members. Like, why is he even here? Half of his posts are either telling us how good he is or how bad we are. He’s clearly a narcissist who loves the attention and the feeling of cancelling others. He claims to be so empathetic and a Good Person™, yet he’s incapable of putting himself in his opposition’s shoes or even trying to understand their viewpoints. Everyone who disagrees with him just gets labelled a right winger and therefore not worth trying to understand. Just look at this nonsense:

I get that small views may change, but I will be Left until the day I die. I would kill myself before I supported anything remotely Right leaning because I would know that will have lost my humanity if it ever came to that.

Yeah i expect her to ride that wave for the next year anyway. She can say it's about other women but it's clearly all about her. I read something today that her girlfriend told her to be careful or people will be asking her to run for president. Quite funny.

Just posted in a thread on the other side and it gets locked.

Apparently it's not ok to comment on a woman MODELING for that very purpose.

Commenting on someone's beauty and having a conversation around it isn't a bad thing.


For some reason I cannot use the controls to make a link but there it is.

Apparently if someone models youre supposed to smile, nod and not say they're sexy.

Edit: link worked anyway, cool.
If it was a guy posing they'd have no problem with such a thread and it would have 20 pages by now. That being said Rapinoe is a despicable piece of shit that deserves as little attention as possible.
 
Definitely not attracted to this woman, not to the outside, nor the inside. That wanting to compete on a physical level with men is certainly a very masculine trait. The irony, with so-called feminists denying what makes them wholesome female human beings.
