Forum Psychology

I have changed my opinion a a little after hearing the response, but I still tend to believe that we have have a subconscious way of dealing with things we are not good at. Perhaps this is just me, but I suspect it is not. For instance, I was gifted when I was little, and went to a pretty prestigious private college when I was older, I am insecure about my intelligence, and the thought of doing very poorly on an aptitude test such as the LSAT would (wrong or right) ruin me. On the other hand, I suck at finding my way from point A to Point B, I’m bad with directions, I’m not a very good driver, and I lack some common sense when performing simple to do tasks, a lot of guys can’t admit those things, but the things I am bad at don’t bother me, it’s what I am suppose to be good at that makes me nervous.

As I mentioned in another post, at 6 feet tall I use to be obsessed with the fact that I was too short. Again this could just be me, but I would guess that a doctor would diagnose many of us with a similar disease (if that’s what you want to call it)

My conclusion is that I think although people with a loud personality will speak out on forums, it is a lot of times the guys who are afraid of losing something who speak first, not always the guys who are trying to gain something, and thats one I guess could be up for discussion. That could be losing your role in the family as the smart one, or one day being told your big dick isn’t all that big.

UkranianTitan, I agree 100%! I made this post in another thread:

“People who are used to consistent, lavish praise about some aspect of themselves tend to be most vulnerable to criticism about that aspect (whether it’s a hot person and his looks, a smart person and his intelligence, etc.).

What do you choose to attack about someone if you want to hurt him or her the most? Those things he or she is proudest of. Calling a fat person fat doesn’t tend to have much effect, but pointing out the love handles developing on a bodybuilder can be pretty devastating.”

Excellent point PG

UkranianTitan,

If you’d started with that post first …

This forum is surprisingly diverse. I’ve learnt a lot from being here, over the years.

There are many people here who could be defined as suffering from BDD and plenty who seem to suffer from OCD. I actually hate those terms. There are people here who are super critical of their body parts, especially the penis, and there are those who verge on the obsessional with single aspects of PE or their routine.

There are plenty of people who seem well balanced, though it is interesting to consider what exactly well-balanced might mean to people who involve themselves in a penis enlargement forum. Certainly it’s not a mainstream idea currently, though as the history of breast enlargement has shown these kinds of things can become mainstream surprisingly quickly.

Clearer?

The punctuation makes all the difference :)
