Being from NY, what is worn to the office in person is often not that much different from a bikini. This is definitely something I see varying a lot regionally. Some regions like NY and TX would typically see bikini or similar attire or pictures as totally normal and not unprofessional at all. While other regions it would be totally abnormal and strange. Maybe local temps, proximity to beaches, urban density, income levels or other factors are significant factors here. Or possible the background cultural mix of different areas.

It is y'all's call. I don't have a personal objection to the pictures. I fall into the "if I don't like it, I don't look at it" group generally speaking. It was more from a perspective of setting a tone.
@RojoLoco Thanks for ad hominem. It has been a few days since my last one.

@kelly it's a useful conversation. And one with big importance, I think. It goes both ways. In one case, it's should women be "viewed" in a professional setting, I don't think that that needs explanation. But on the other side, do women feel that avoiding such things makes them feel as though they aren't free to dress or express themselves? It's not just what "is seen" as professional, but also "what should be seen" as professional.

I pinged @MarigabyFrias as a bunch of men discussing this in a vacuum won't be all taht productive. But the discussion might be good in general.

@kelly clearly sarcasm, comedy, and the appeal of bikini clad women are all lost on you.
I thought the "if you don't like it, don't look at it" group might just let a thing slide without needing to call it out publicly.

@scottalanmiller if you want pictures of places (what this thread was started for), then post pictures of places.
I frequent this thread because I like to see the various locations.
If you want pictures of women in bikinis make a thread for it so I can ignore it.
@RojoLoco get the fuck over yourself.

Okay I love this pic but I'm not swooning to live in one of those houses. The picture as a whole is great, but it's not like a sweet beach or nice castle. But it is a great picture of a neighbourhood in Istanbul.
