If its the fact that JJ started the thread, or that he has commented on a ladies appearance? I'm pretty sure that there are several instances in your diary where you have commented on several women and their appearance Edit: guess its thread title, but it hardly continues in op.

Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: Tal on June 29, 2013, 08:58:20 AM This is the sound of me literally despairing.
Thought it would be a question - perhaps repetitive and boring nonetheless - of how strong/weak the fields in ladies only events are. Instead, it's a "Phwoar look at the knorks on that" thread. I'm sure there will be plenty ITT who consider peppermint hippo to be empowering eastern european women. Anyway, it's great of the WSOP to have a women only event, so that the perverts can locate the totty much more easily, without having to wade through the hoodies and sweat-soaked 30stone blokes. Rant ends. Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: George2Loose on June 29, 2013, 09:01:57 AM Honestly don't see what the big deal is

Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 09:14:20 AM Any men pay the 10k? No they didn't I started the comments, so perhaps I had better explain. I just think we can do better as a community than going "here's a set of pictures of everyone playing the ladies event, which MILF is the fittest?" Somehwat different to "rate my" threads we've had where a model or actress is often dressed provocatively, thats part of their deal in promoting themselves. Its not a huge deal though Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: outragous76 on June 29, 2013, 09:19:22 AM Any men pay the 10k?

Its not a huge deal though There is absolutely no difference between the op and you taking pictures of an attractive dealer/valet or tikay commenting in his diary about any females appearance. Some people will say you are objectifying women, others just soak it up. I just don't think "it beggars belief" really represents anyone's actual opinion. Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: Tal on June 29, 2013, 09:20:34 AM I'm probably overreacting.
Most people love Vegas because there are near naked women gyrating on top of the tables while you're playing blackjack and being served $1 beers by a lady in a push-up bra. I love it despite that. As I say, rant over. Apologies. Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 09:22:26 AM Any men pay the 10k?

The difference is I know the dealers and valets and have checked with them first. Quite a few who would rather not be pictured, I don't snap. The others are happy, take the pictures for their facebook etc and its part of me promoting the event I don't go as crude as "which valet would you..." and never would Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

So when you have "dealer of the day" it's for their dealing ability right? I must have misinterpreted I thought it was because they are usually an attractive female. My bad Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 09:30:02 AM No of course its not, but I know the individuals and its harmless stuff that doesn't make any crude references.
These ladies have turned up to play a poker tournament from all walks of life and although none will see it on here it just seemd a bit OTT to use language like MILFs to me As I say though, not a huge deal. Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: pokerfan on June 29, 2013, 09:30:19 AM Daiva wins obv, she's a Blonde.
Someone link her up for an opinion on it. Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: MintTrav on June 29, 2013, 09:35:50 AM What about all the 1,2,3,4s? Same thing.
Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 09:37:08 AM What about all the 1,2,3,4s? Same thing. Pretty much, but not as overt and brazen as starting a thread to do it. Not sure we've seen that too often I can now wait for outrageous76 to rip into me for that view ;-) Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

These ladies have turned up to play a poker tournament from all walks of life and although none will see it on here it just seemd a bit OTT to use language like MILFs to me As I say though, not a huge deal. But the point is, on any level you are objectifying a woman because of her beauty. Dtd dealers turn up to work not to be objectified. So whether your use of language is MILF or something else, the point you are making is exactly the same. Fwiw milfs original meaning now has an urban- ism tone (IMO), with the specific use of Annette proving my point Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: outragous76 on June 29, 2013, 09:40:30 AM I'm not ripping into you rich, I'm pointing out that some people can be very pot and kettle on these subjects

Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 09:43:52 AM I'm not ripping into you rich, I'm pointing out that some people can be very pot and kettle on these subjects Yeah, I see both sides though My initial reaction on seeing this thread was to shake my head and I posted a comment to that effect As I say for the third time, no big deal With regard to objectifying dealers, each and every dealer that I photograph and put on a thread has given me permission to do so, some request photos. Those that are not willing to be photographed are not photographed Its semantics, but theres a difference to the OP, in my opinion Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

Its not a huge deal though Ironic thing is that in the biggest female poker community the main thread of their forum is "hottest guys in poker" Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: cambridgealex on June 29, 2013, 10:42:16 AM All good bants imo
Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: cambridgealex on June 29, 2013, 11:00:26 AM Tighty is a lot more tasteful but it is basically the same thing. I don't believe you "know" the valets or majority of the dealers anymore than OP knows Liv Boeree. But you do have their permission which is a point.
Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: Claw75 on June 29, 2013, 11:06:33 AM Pretty much with Guy on this one - whatever the view of the reader (whether outrage, headshaking, or loving it) I really don't see this is that much different from stuff elsewhere on the forum. I'm a headshaker, but blokes will be blokes and blonde is pretty much a bloke's forum these days. Think the criticism towards the op is a bit unfair.

I disagree with quite a lot of what you wrote above but no matter. Suffice to say the thought of banning you or removing the thread never crossed my mind Lee (why would it?!)

Post by: tikay on June 29, 2013, 06:37:33 PM Whoever you asked to remove the thread lee hasn't informed the rest of us....hence a debate took place in here Transatlantic lag/time zone differences at play Not at all, Lee. You did not offer to remove the thread, & I did not ask you to. You suggested, in the perfectly amicable & friendly series of PM's we exchanged, where you said you fully understood my view, that you had no objection if we wanted to kill the thread. I replied that I did NOT want to kill the thread, I'd rather it were allowed to run its course. I'm sure you will happily confirm all that to be true. There was NO threat or suggestion of a ban, or removing the thread. None at all. It was a most cordial & adult exchange of views between friends of long standing. We happened to have different views on the matter, but that does not make either of us an enemy, or require an argument, it is a perfectly natural thing to have different views.

She doesn't care who you are, u raise she will 3 bet, u 4 she will 5 u 6 she will shove, really refreshing to see.
Have a strong feeling a woman's gonna ft the Main this year, they can't keep bricking right? Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

I wonder if she will need to adjust now as she comes across on the shows as a maniac? Have a strong feeling a woman's gonna ft the Main this year, they can't keep bricking right? Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: cambridgealex on June 29, 2013, 07:42:54 PM Tighty is a lot more tasteful but it is basically the same thing. I don't believe you "know" the valets or majority of the dealers anymore than OP knows Liv Boeree. But you do have their permission which is a point. These ladies sign the disclaimer at the start of the tournament giving permission for use of their images in media/social media. They have no say in how that media is used or commented upon - but they have signed up to a legally binding document. I don't believe Tighty produces such documents for valets/dealers to sign. As for more tasteful, I just lol and lol and lol. We all understand insinuation and innuendo, lets not insult forum members intelligence. I've been offline and believed this had been sorted by PM. I even stated I was happy for the thread to be killed. But it's been allowed to stand, on a par with 'Fittest Girls on TV Thread' etc. I appreciate the fact that Outrageous and Claw have pointed out the hypocrisy, as I did by PM. And like Fish states, different rules for different posters on Blonde. I mustn't be in the clique. Which is funny, but at the tables I've asked people if they're on Blonde and am often met with responses along the lines of "...nope, waaay to cliquey" I've thought the same for some time, but kept my opinions to myself on that...and instead countered them with the positive aspects of the forum. But this thread just highlights it all. Yup, ok so perhaps its a bit naughty of me to post this up - but if Blonde has policies on such matters then perhaps they should formally lay them out for members to see; also ensure ALL members adhere to them too. Either kill the thread (as I requested) or ban me, I honestly don't give a flying... Hey man, I was sticking up for you! I was saying it is hypocritical of Tighty. I said his were more tasteful, but you have to admit that "dealer of the day" is more tasteful than "Ladies...rate em". I also said that it was all good banter, and I thought it was fine!

Didn't realise it was a lady, but can confirm spewy lunatic on the French sites Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em? Post by: TightEnd on June 29, 2013, 07:49:05 PM It is not Hypocritical
"Dealer of the day" is saying "Here is a good looking dealer" Its not insinuating anything further or any sort of innuendo. "ladies rate em" and use of language like MILF is. Or so I thought It seems this nuance is missed on most though, or I am in a minority, so fair enough, will alter the updates from here on in Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

Because people seem to think I am being hypocritical. Would rather avoid that, even if I disagree with it. The bigger picture is I would like the forum to appeal to both sexes and all sorts of players I know two major things that put off a) some female members and b) some recreational players (we used to have far more of each) is in the case of a) sexism, overtly and in the case of b) flaming Which is why we are sometimes seen as a bit draconian, but its all with the aim of the forum being as inclusive as possible . Which is why I roll my eyes when the clique thing comes up. Just ludicrous, when look at the broad range of people interacting with each other across all parts of the forum Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?

And as for over reaction much? Surely to be inclusive you add in a bloke photo not take away something tha the vast majority enjoy! And as for hanging your views on the literal translation of one word, just to try and be "right" on the subject it's really really sad.

Very surprised to see this debate, think the negatives could have been via pm and the thread could have ran its course like amatays older ladies and tv's finest on the flip side I think anything that makes rich worry about doing his amazing updates whilst worrying about every little thing he writes would be a disaster for blonde I would personally lock this thread as I don't think it will form any reasonable purpose any longer Title: Re: WSOP Ladies...Rate em?
