The Power of Women In Spandex - Forums

HAPPY THANKSGIVING day post...
the OBVIOUS girlwatching seen in the 1st photo was a dead-giveaway that needs to be shown to our loyal TPOWIS audience....(thats a bit embarrassing&blatant to do it right in front of her like that)




























































now this last photo IS the way guys show proper etiquette/subtle ways to do girlwatching....

AND ANOTHER 'EXAMPLE HErE, off-topic to this thread, a couple of college swim/dive team alumni male competitors getting in their girlwatching done the very discrete way

and judging by her physique, not too bad; Ive seen better but you cant really question their choices of women....nothing really wrong from what i can see and shes a good size; no petite

I LIKE THE WAY THE BRITISH TEND TO DO THE PHOTOSHOOTS.....very old school in that you make it in a wedge formation/arrow pointing towards the camera guy...interesting 'old school' way of doing that....you dont see that as much here in the USA....

you guys know by now that i love my jiujitsu killer women....the more literal ones; up close&personal

heres an actual 16 sec video so you guys see the anguish of the victim...by the winner @mad_avila--same gal as above but a different victim meets the same demise

very very hard to find those really shiny lycra tights being worn during track...i might find them once every few years...i did but they have a watermark:

























[commentary] i havent been spending too much time searching for this thread in the past few years as i used to...sorry about that but i used to specialize on finding those shiny lycra tights during track...i used smugmug@flikr for those BUT flikr and smugmug have kind of downsized in importance and a lot of those photographers have migrated to instagram or more of a dedicated photo ordering $ to download photos so basically all of the photos taken for an event have to be ordered and paid before you can get them...flikr as you all know transitioned more to a paid membership to get to see the bigger sized pics...those 2 things have acted AS DETERRANTS holding me back from searching for this thread-anything that makes it harder means that i prefer naturally to continue on with the easier to find stuff that i have bookmarked and continue to produce unlimited pics without having to spend an hour to find a single smugmug site thats worth a lick.....hence why i havent been posting here much as i used to a decade a go
i also forgot to add that about half of smugmug has watermarked photos and for the most part i try to avoid those as you all know...but...lately i am resorting to post/allow some reluctantly...otherwise i would even have fewer pics .......

i like the way they do it in the UK...1st you eyeball the rowing gals and pick out a couple you have your eyes on for the competition......then later on in the afternoon you try to crash the boathouse celebration nightgown event and you try to get close and schmooze your way to the very same gal(s) you had 'girlwatched' during the competition now all dressed out for the formal evening dinner@gala

i did a post actually showing the very same group of gals in their rowing apparel photos and then in formal gowns at the 'ceremonies' in the boathouse later on the late afternoon or evening....that was very very interesting to me RARE that you get to see the same babe in both their athletic apparel and then in evening gowns on the same day....neat to see


EDIT 4/27...i just found a perfect example albeit a little dated since pics are from2015; SORRY ABOUT THAT!!! gals row in the morning followed by their clubhouse late afternoon gathering in formal dress wear

[pardon me if i have posted photos from this source before...if i did it wasnt presented this way but dating back to 2015 it makes since that some of these pics may already part of the archives of this forum]

now comes the section 'preferred' by most of you who tune into this thread...THE ROWING GALS























THESE PHOTOS ARE GETTING A LITTLE HARDER TO FIND LATELY.....
[COMMENTARY] I DO NOT USE fb, tumbler, deviantart, twitter, pinterest, or any other common browser generated photo search pics for the most part; ON MOST ANY POST I tend to do.....I DONT USE 'AI' either in searching for pics. Probably one of the reasons i am saying its getting a little harder to obtain these photos are those sources that i do use are getting more and more scarce as they disappear over time....my photos may not be the sexiest; but you sure wont find 'my stuff' all over the internet for the most part....its a trade-off BUT thats what makes this forum popular and visitors&members keep coming back knowing that these photos cant be easily found...

EDIT 13+ hours after i originally posted...as is customary i start searching again after a large post [to replace my stockpile of course]...and i just found some US rowing ones...a couple as a tease; so you can see the muscular arms on these 2 gals; even showing right through a compression-like shirt:


those thighs on some of these gals i am seeing; looking like hams very athletic@strong physiques
i doubt these gals will be putting up with any sh_t guys like to dish out
and in the fall [2025] they wear leggings; despite the TITLE of this thread; I LOVE SHOWING TRACK@rowing leggings because those pics are always scarce:

sometimes jiujitsu gals only wear shorts......good thing that theres a thread for that too.
shes @shyebjj Shye Lilly 21 | Vegas

I HAVE YET TO SEE A BUNCH OF WOMEN ASSAULTING A STRONG jiujitsu guy in real life....BUT heres proof that in the gym ITS TOTALLY PROBABLE, especially if they are martially arts trained:

[when the policemen comes to report this type of crime....i doubt that the guy will ever be believed unless theres cameras to document what happened]

I LIKE THE REACTION PHOTO OF THE OTHERS IN THE GYM; as in thats NOT supposed to happen in real life....3 women ganging up on one guy

i REALLY really dont like to do watermarked photos like this [a few ok] so i kinda broke my rules a bit since its getting harder to find these smugmug type pics....i also did it to bring a little variety from 'across the pond'

These Watermarks are really big and i do not like that too. But i understand the photographers! Pages like inspiredpencils or Artpictures overtake images from the web and re-offer them. See this Insta Post https://www.instagram.com/p/DGCughAuemC/
With a very big watermark its not that easy to hide the original source.

thanks lycrafan...you and i have been around for so long ... i remember those days ~15-20+ years ago when i was at another now defunct forum and then in the early years here copyright was a big deal ... and so you as a poster were made responsible @ threatened that your postings COULD BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE FORUM and as such you could imagine ITS CONSEQUENCES ... those big watermarks were then perceived as 'warning signs' and intimidated us as to not copy and then post on any forum since clearly those photos were 'stamped' for a reason so only its author was allowed to post them AND NOBODY ELSE ... at least that was my understanding at that time ... so we fast forward to today and that 'stigma' has formed 'scar tissue' so my tendency is to stay away from those large watermarked type photos and with so so much content now available why bother with those photos anyway ... and from personal experience; heavily watermarked type pics get less views than the very same type photos without watermarks ... and KNOWING ALL OF THAT then i conclude that a few of those would be ok but too many of them detracts from the viewing experience of the forum members&visitors ... ANY WAY; THATS MY COMMENTARY FOR THE DAY; AND SINCE YOU ALL HERE just clicked to SEE THIS POST ASSUMING it contains fotos ... thats how i will finish my sunday sermon

I'm wondering if there will be some tight shorts or catsuits being on display starting later this week when the World Cup kicks off in North America (Mexico starts things off Thursday vs. South Africa, then Canada faces Bosnia followed by USA vs. Paraguay, both on Friday).

Just noticed that the USA team uniforms above don't have front seams. Another look ruined. I hope this does not start a trend.

Really? I can not remember this situation, but yes - its true. The owner of the Pics may trouble the forum as a hoster...
