What kind of restaurant refills water bottles? I do it at home because I use filtered water and I'm a cheap bastard but a restaurant??
It was an employee refilling her personal bottle, placing it flush with the dispenser. A flipping bottle she had in her mouth.

I know you’ve been a member longer. But as of recently there’s been a trend with people coming onto our board only to promote their latest video on YouTube etc.

And that’s literally their only interaction on this board. It’s pretty lame, just my opinion tho.

I never really saw botl as a “free marketing forum”

We are more than that. It would be different if they were an active account.

But botl is all good for dudes and chicks no prob

I mean we have @nc_6789 here
We are in total agreement.


I think the rule we are failing to see is you have to be an adult to join. The whole boys only club BS brings that one back to the front.

Site title is called "brothers of the leaf"........

I think all of us have engaged in "locker room talk", ie. stuff we'd say as boys hanging out without the presence of women......

Are you gonna be comfortable making dick jokes, talking about tits, etc. In front of female members if they join up? Just my two cents.

I would think that a woman self assured enough to be part of what has historically been a Man's world has heard a dick joke or two. We can have fun without being gross and demeaning.
And that, right there, sir, is my point. "Historically a man's world". No further comment required.

Triggered much? One post by a female has spun you up for the wrong reasons. I serve with females and guess what? They are just as good as any other Sailor. “Historically Male” yea, I’m on submarines, as male as you could get. We are still doing the job and now have a whole new talent pool to pull from.

Side note

For everyone one female Marine that I’ve worked with and thought they were solid workers .. there are 10 who are heinous and lazy.

But that’s just me.

I served too, buddy. So don't throw that in my damn face. Maybe not as long as you but I did.

Yep. Navy Seals and Subs don't allow women. There are reasons.

When I was in the LEO profession, we had 600+ sworn. Maybe 6 females, all were good.

This was before hiring quotes, if they made it through the academy it was because they were good.

Not because they were needed to fill quotas.
