Please enlighten me on how many of the pictures used on McMaster websites or McMaster campaigns or reps who attend them include depressed and unhealthy looking students.

Having a website like this deffo would give rise to some attention seekers as well as increase body image issues.

People say Queens is a white university. Do they go around taking non-white students pictures specifically to post on a website to say its not?
People say Waterloo is full of nerdy asians. do their student body go around specifically taking non-asian non-nerdy student photos to prove its not?

Then why does McMaster student body HAVE to go around taking "natural hot/sexy" photos to bust the "brown girl with mustache" myth?

Ever heard of hair removal cream/wax? That's what take the mustache off from your "hot/sexy" girls. Want to take photos of their natural state? Tell them to stay away from these, and you will get them in their natural state. Not saying that it will make them ugly. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. But I don't see why McMaster has to promote the so-called "ideal beauty" image that Hollywood/media has been trying to feed to the general mass for a while.

First of all McMaster is NOT public property, and as I said in my follow up post, it would be against the student code of conduct, and the University would definitely take action against you.

Second, you claim that you want to show case the beautiful students of McMaster, yet you want it to be candid pictures of girls in yoga pants. So basically you just want to create a creepshot website with all the content coming from mac.

This honestly seems no different than those facebook contests for "The hottest guy/girl in <X town>" and the picture with the most likes wins... except the key difference i guess is user submitted pictures vs candid creep-shots.

But i guess one could argue the facebook ones are usually duckface/cleavage/hooker make-up compiliations, whereas yours would be genuine casual clothing pictures which seems a little more honest.

Theeeeeeen again, every girl will be wearing the exact same pair of yoga pants and uggs or those long sock things so really what's the point i suppose.

this is an invalid point. all the girls featured in playboy magazine have consented to being in the magazine and they are aware that people will be oggling them. What you're proposing is drastically different. taking creeper shots of girls who have no way to consent to being displayed as eye-candy is ethically wrong.

plus, how soon before all the negative comments come filtering in and people use it as an outlet to flame the girls on the site?

this is a disgusting idea imo. I hope mcmaster shuts it down if you ever start it. there's no difference between this and those creeper subreddits where people take close up shots of unsuspecting girls' cleavage and butts.

I think we can leave the creeping on Facebook. If you're deciding your university based on the 'hotness' of the student body then I'm pretty sure you have your motivations backwards. That is, unless you're paying a university tuition for the sole purpose of hooking up with someone... in which case there are many cheaper alternatives.

Why aren't we having a discussion about taking pics of guys and sticking them on a website?
Why girls?

this is the worst thread in macinsiders history! it started as a troll post and now everyone has to take turns showing how theyre better then everyone else

Praying for this thread to get closed.

Actually I think it would do the opposite and make people (especially women) not want to go there because random people are taking pictures.

Yeah, thats just what is needed.. more people coming to McMaster for all the wrong reasons.

It's like uMentioned only bordering on sexual harassment. Weeee!
