Are you afraid to post pictures of yourself?

[Christopher123]

Because we're human first.

Being human does not hand us a free ticket to be cruel to each other.

 

[Christopher123]

Tell that to all the cruel "humans" out there.

I would fucking love to, trust me.

 

[Christopher123]

It wouldn't help, they'd just tell you to fuck off...we change only when we want to.

Yeah..... you're right.

But I still don't think anyone has the "right" to be an insensitive jerk. But they will be anyway.

It's like what right do I have to judge another person?

I don't.

 

[RationalLunacy]

Are you kidding? I won't even hang a fucking mirror in my house for fear of frightening myself.

I used to be....but not anymore.....here's me....

Sorry...I can't find my weiner.... Please be gentle....

Excellent post. Thank you so much for your contribution.​

I give you exhibit A of why I don't post a picture... need I go on?

The pic is really old and definitely not from vanman

Ya, and the fact that he thought it would be humorous or cute to post it is a huge part of the reason so many guys are uncomfortable posting pictures of themself on JUB.​

 

[Christopher123]

Some people are lacking the empathy gene...or the "wiring" is a tad wonky...which could be one and the same.

Yeah. Maybe. But I still don't understand it.

I'm not saying we all have to care about each other. I'm sure some of us could give two shits. But fuck, man, don't deliberately HURT one another. You know?

It has nothing to do with "gays pulling together" or "hey, you're the same as me, you should be on my side," type of bullshit. So we're gay, so what? It doesn't mean we have to embrace each other and be nice to each other 24/7. Conflicts will happen. Gay or not, we're just people.

But it's not very nice to deliberately make cruel comments. What purpose does it serve? To make oneself feel better?

Bah. Get me off my soapbox.

Nowhere..but people shouldn't be afraid especially here...people are nice, at least out in the public aspect of the forum.(whether it is honest, that is up for debate) I've seen some photo threads get nasty though at sport forums I've posted at, with people making fun of each other.(and not in a joking way)

Apparently not everyone.

i post pictures of myself all the time

i'm glad you do too, jake

it makes us more real to people

i think most people are just not comfy with posting their image at a HUGE gay site like this

its like yelling you are gay in a crowded movie theatre

That's me in a nutshell.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... anonymity is a warm cloak. Nevertheless I have posted my pic in my gallery once or twice and each time I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs!

But I applaud all you guys who do post your pictures (naked and otherwise) because it does make you all that much more real.

Yes, and that's the whole point - to put a face behind the name. To criticize someone for the way they look is just plain fucked up.

Which, from what I'm gathering, has happened lately.

It happens a lot lately. Which is why I no longer post pictures of me.

 

[theFallenGod]

I am currently a work in progress and am just starting to results... until I am happy with myself in those regards which hopefully should be around July I will not post any pictures on here yet.... but come July....

 

[NedNickerson]

Here's mine - these were taken when I was ...er... a bit younger...

 

[Andreus]

people give me shit all the time for being muslim.

do you think it gets tedious? HELL yes, but that IS their option.

do you think i'm going to give them their way and quit?

Not a fucking chance in hell.

that is MY option, not theirs.

I will never give that power to hatefull people.

just tell them that it hurts, and dont let it make you bitter. if you become bitter then they win.

and lastly....

vanman is a good guy, folks. he has a good heart... so dont tear him up for this. Dont find malice when there isnt any. just tell him you think his joke was in poor taste and let that be it.

 

[Christopher123]

I understand, but you should be proud of yourself as a person, regardless of what other people may think.

We all have different tastes and differences in what appeals to us. Sometimes the "beautiful people" aren't appealing at all.

 

[Comrad]

Far from being afraid, but far to lazy.

And there it is, guys.
