Fitness Models - Yes or No

It really depends on the buff level. I prefer slightly buff women over over the top muscles, but that's just my thing

I think the West Twins are special and I personally like the updates.
I am not a big fan of fitness models.
I like my models a little....softer.
AZ Powergirl comes to mind.

Definite Yes for me.

I'm not a fan of the West Twins, but I do like some fitness models.

But as already been alluded to in other replies, most of us have particular/peculiar (and often vary narrow) preferences. Yet its likely anything that inspires one person enough to post will probably interest at least one other person.

I always look at pictures from the perspective of illustrating (or inspiring) a story. Those rare images that do that are priceless. I've found a few of those here on SWM, thanks to posters.

My take is to keep posting, but not let it become a large percentage of our posts, or overly focused on one model.

Yes for me.

I like fitness models so yes, but at the same time no for a different reason. While I do love the pictures, I'm thinking of the band width for them to load. I'm using BS numbers to get my point across.

Lets say every a picture is 1MB. A page of a thread can hold 25 replies. Being on the nice side 15 pictures. So each page at the end will have 15 MB to down load. 10 members open the page at the end, that is 15MB * 10 is 150 MB. Now that is just when the page is full. Starting from first reply. (1MB*10) + (2MB*10)+(3MB*10).... You get the idea where I'm going with this. I don't know the real numbers, but it, as the young people say now, gets cray cray really fast.

Not knowing how Kunena Forum works, but maybe pictures should use the spoiler tag. If spoiler tag lines get download right away, this will not help. If spoiler tag lines get downloaded when clicked on, this could help with the older replied pictures.

Maybe a different way to handle this is load the pictures on to, <name your fav pic site>. Then put a link to it.

I'm sure there are some smart people here who can find the answer. My job is just to be the smart arse IT Ops dir. My days of stinking are over.

I am not a fan of the West Twins, so I do not click on them. I know that others like them and that is fine with me. I like that they are labeled as the West Twins so that I know that I do not need to click on them. So I would vote that you keep doing what you are doing as some people most likely enjoy them.

Definitely a yes from me too, even though I have to admit that I have seen enough of the West Twins for now.

While my preference is of the toned but not overly muscular type, I'd say keep posting those images whether the fans of them are in the majority or just a small minority. I'm far more lurker than participant but I strongly think SWM doesn't need to have everyone all liking the same specific things.

I've used this to describe another site I'm in: This is an ice cream parlor. Everyone here likes ice cream, but not everyone is going to like the same flavors of ice cream. There's enough room for strawberry, pistachio, chocolate, etc as long as it's all ice cream.

Well said. We all like ice cream. A good analogy.

I also think we like ice cream more than most groups. Probably because our focus is narrower. We might peer through slightly different windows aimed in slightly different directions, but the world on the other side of those windows is more alike than different.

I vote yes for hot chicks.

Absolutely yes. I like the twins buffness and since reading Circes Cups great La Porte Caves, it works that these superwomen are built as Circes Cup describes them. It makes more sense imo.

I, of course, give a yes to the West Twins. I'm a big fan of fitness models in general and them in particular. I also used to follow Janet Rosa Gerber, who's retired now, and she actually inspired my avatar. A real fitness model in buff Mary Marvel cheesecake.

Having said that, I am also aware that this is a Superheroine site. There are plenty of fitness model sites out there but not that many superheroine ones so I totally understand if you wanted to retire the reality and concentrate on the capes.

As others have said, it depends on the tastes of the person. Personally, I'm not into the fitness girls, but as long as you and some others do like them, keep on posting them. Just be sure to label your thread titles so those of us who aren't interested can skip them easily.

It's kinda like red hair; it doesn't always work, but when it does it works very well.

Well, here's a story about a fitness cop in Sweden:

Nothing wrong with the West twins, but we need variety -- there've been so many pictures of just these two that they've become boring.
