(15,315 posts)I don't have a problem with people looking at pictures of attractive people. I do think that things like the SI swimsuit issue are an outdated relic, along the lines of beauty pageants, because what does that have to do with sports? It's the context. It's a sports magazine. Why do they have a T&A issue? We're a bunch of sports nuts in my family and we get SI and I just have to roll my eyes every time the swimsuit issue comes around, the way I do at beauty pageants. As far as it being posted here in GD, I think it was just to be deliberately provocative. In real life, people generally don't plaster pinups all over the walls in areas unless they're trying to create a certain atmosphere. It's not about being jealous of prettier women as someone else in this thread suggested.
