Tell me some thing. Why do the fat hair guys always take the place of the hot Guy in front of you.

... Unto him that hath something to grope shall be given yet more cute asses - but from him that hath nothing to grope, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

If I were you, I'd invest in a pair of cast-iron boxers - 'cos the only thing thou hast needs protection if it ain't goin' to be taken away!

More than likely, being one of the group of gays that fixate on physical perfection you will be nothing less han disapointed as no matter who you get there will always be someone better....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Does he fixate on physical perfection? Or does he just go to a gym to work out?

The information I have read here says it could be either, or somewhere between.

The point you make about those who do focus in physical perfection is valid, of course it is, but how do you know where he fits on the scale?

That comment above is enough to tell me where his priorities are...

You know, it does not. It does say where your priorities would be had you made that statement yourself.

I adore physical perfection. I like looking at it, and I will be very unlikely to reattain it for myself. I do not look at fat hairy guys, I look at slim guys, actually first at the face.

I prefer infinitely to see a slim, cute guy to somone even "only" as tubby as I am.

I know that no-one is perfect, of course. So, while loving seeing that which approaches it, I recognise and love perfect imperfection, too.

Does that put me in the same pigeon hole where you have put Jason?

I dont think guys like that should be banned from the gym, but they should use good common sense. Have you ever been to the beach or pool and seen a guy 100 pounds overweight stuffed into a speedo? Im sorry, you can say anything you want but that is not attractive. Even I wear long trucks and Ive been told Im adorable. I know some guys cant help it, but durn they could realize that thats not what people want to see. Im sure the time will come when I need to be modest, but right now I lost my modesty 20 nurses ago.

If you don't know a person, all you know about them is their physical appearance. And it's obviously nicer to look at someone who's good-looking than someone who's only average.

It's not as if Jason is chatting up either the cute guys or the fat hairy guys.

Incidentally, when I hear "fat and hairy" I usually think "old". If that's what it means in this case, and the cute ones are younger, then it's hardly surprising that Jason, young himself, is drawn to them. I have no qualms in saying I find people of my own age more attractive than older people, and that's just as much because of common interests and situations as looks.

There is a long line for that stadium. First all the soccer hooligans, then all the remaining chavs, then all ugly people, then all the people I don't like, then the plump ones.

I go Away for 12 hours and you blow the whole thing out of proportion. It is not that look are the all that matter. (Keep in mind I try to find out if Brandon is gay. I have not given up hope yet.) But a little eye candy is good for everyone. lol I'm just saying don't block the view for others.

That is very noble of you, Jason.

I have to say that Marc is in the habit of picking up on tiny matters of semantics and using them to disrupt and hijack threads. I wouldn't worry too much about offending him, because if he wants to be offended, he will be, regardless of what you wrote.

Reading a statement as it was written ia hardly picking up on tiny bits of semantics....

It is precisely what it is.... Reading the words without trying to get into the head of the person reading it....

That being said.... weather I am offended from something or weather I am not offended by something is entirely none of your business on any level....

It came out a bit more obscure than I intended!

It was a take on Luke's Gospel, Chapter 19, Verse 26: "For I say unto you, that unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away." Not bad for a non-Christian, huh?

You were talking about hoping to get to know a guy at work, so I guessed that you didn't have a 'special someone' at present. So ... you don't have anyone else to grope! It follows from the above that what you DO have to grope will be taken away from you - but the only thing you have to grope is attached to you. Hence the suggestion that you should buy cast-iron boxers for self-preservation!

Don't for a moment think I'm being smug because you didn't get it - it was all my fault. British humour often doesn't click in the USA (and vice versa) and even by British standards I'm pretty weird!

Sorry, Jason - don't let it put you off this rather special board.
