Women doing 10th Planet!

[Tori Applegate]

Well there is a respect line that just shouldn't be crossed if you want to make women feel comfortable. However, if a nipple is about to slip....all eyes will be on that whether you want to look there or not. It's just our nature.

True.

I think it's nature for people to "check out" people. And as a women in a male dominated sport, we stand out more so there may be a few extra sets of eyes on us.

And I know I check out atheletes on TV... GSP?? HELLO!!! And it if wasn't for Mark Sanchez taking his helmet off, I would never watch football.

Yeah, unfortunately guys will always act like cavemen at the sight of pretty girls, it's God's fault :-(

Yup. Good posture and solid side control are relatively asthetically flattering to the athletic female form. It's the ass.

[Kurzy]

Yep. The sooner a woman comes to terms with the fact that 99% of the men around her would likely love the opportunity to get jiggy wit it, the better. lol.
Kidding.

(Kind of)

But when it comes to jits it's about jits. I will say however that for the most part, women that are INTO jits in a serious fashion will usually own remarkably sexy physiques. No one can help that. Jits makes people sexy.

[Rachael Kaulig]

Kurzy, you and Bobby crack me the fuck up.

[Marty McLaren]

No one can help that. Jits makes people sexy.

That explains the insane amount of man love in your profile pic!

Lotta man love there. Good to have bros.

This is kind of a bad analogy so I'll apologize in advance but...
I guess I've sort of learned to view training with women the same way I learned to take care of women in the ambulance or ER. Yes, OK, I can recognize that she is an attractive person but I'm a little freakin' busy right now for that. I really have too much else on my mind at the moment. It just isn't a factor. If she has me in a triangle, that position might look suspect to an outside observer; but if that is what is on my mind I'm going to be unconscious in short order. The only position I need to be worrying about is improving my own and getting my damn neck out of there.

Good. As slim as the women are in our area it's very likely I will be competing in the men's and women's division. It's kind of an advantage to be a distraction. It just makes it hard to draw in new women to our school. But hey, I think we just got a new one today so I'm stoked. That makes 3 women in our JJ class in 3 different weight divisions. Could be awesome.

And by the way, since I'm on the ladies' thread, here's a video of one of my matches from last weekend. I ended up with silver. I could care less what medal I got, I was just stoked to finally get a submission in competition. :-)
