After looking at all these dicks

Time to lower them then.

Your thoughts on documentation photos would have been a really great idea in the first few months of the forum. Where the hell were you then? ;)

I think the greater issue here is the cohesiveness of the entire site.

Weathering the storm is a personal choice, but being a team player is what makes this place great, and virtually unique.

And I don’t feel personally attacked, but do feel that some of your insinuations could be taken as a suggestion that this thing doesn’t work, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

A little faith goes a long way brother.

I thought I was leaving people be. Mine and your back and forth started with me commenting on a post you made to me. I haven’t asked for porn and I’m not gay. That’s offensive and that’s twice now you are going dark with this. Please keep civil. Penises are going to be on a penis site ok. I am willing to judge a case and offer my opinion on whether or not I believe it. That is super counter-productive and I’m not sure I’ve done that even with tnt who has lashed me silly.

Brother Walter, I don’t want to find 2 or 3 exercises just to pull on myself ok. In my mind, as I hope you understand for my sake and my journey, I’ve done that beyond belief. Answering the deconditioning question. Prior to this attempt, it’s been 3, maybe 4 years since last one. I sure am sorry I gave anyone the impression that I have been doing this day after day or 20 years. Walter, I would ask that you subscribe to my PE progress thread. If you see I’m not being consistent or anything else, I surely want you to tell me. Fair enough? Honestly, I hope to hell my next month measurement pics are productive with gains. I feel with you and I that we’ve made our cases publicly. If you comment further on me, I will answer you through PM ok buddy.

I have significantly reduced those hackles since you asked me too just a short bit ago. Some are nasty to me. I’m trying not to be that way.

I’m not sure what you’re asking with pics and my history. It’s always been a good idea in my opinion from the beginning and still is. I hope to lead in that aspect; however, I feel I’m failing. So, then or now, I’m not sure if I’d been effective. As some argue, I didn’t post or provide anything for so many years because this is embarrassing and private. I am not a troll. Can you see the statistics of when I’ve checked in? They should be enlightening I think. To answer your question as I’ve said, I lurked and did my own thing.

Do you want my help in some way or do you want me to leave the forum? I’ll respect whatever you wish. I’m not going to post one more entry until you give me go ahead ok.

I must admit I’m quite disappointed with the hostility coming from some of the more senior members of this forum, there’s no need for it.

What really has that got to do with him wanting more picture-oriented success stories? Are you trying to imply that he is gay because he wants more people to enage with before and after phototaking? What’s wrong with being gay? Also, adding a ‘I’m not being offensive’ parenthetical doesn’t make your rhetorical question not offensive.

Please can people start acting like adults.

Geez dude, lighten up already. If you had been around when we first started this place it would have been a hell of a lot easier to work on producing decent photos and encouraging people to document their progress. We have a shit load of photos here that are nothing more than a waste of storage space. If we would have had some firm guidelines in place then it would have been better all around. I think it is pretty much too late to correct the bad photo thing now though.

Wait, you were lurking and missed the whole dld dumpster fire? You must have taken at least a couple of years off then.

You are very choosy about which posts you respond to which skews the tone of the thread.

If you really want to see better photos then help and encourage people to take better photos, if that is in your skill set. You can’t change the past, and you should judge everyone here for not meeting your unwritten criteria. Perhaps it would be more helpful starting or contributing to a thread like this one: How To Take Better Progress Photos rather than what just seems like complaining.

Yes. I missed the DLD thing entirely. I actually don’t want to know. Thunder, buddy, the lurking hasn’t been consistent. PE hasn’t been THAT consuming. :O)

You would learn a lot about photos and decent documentation from some of those dld threads. I mean the guy was an expert at “photography”.

I have an old dildo that I keep specifically because it used to be my size. Now, when I feel like I haven’t grown a bit, I can pull it out and compare.

That’s a good idea WantToBeThick

Alright Monty,

I’m cool with that. You’ve got my respect and kind wishes on your gains and quest to collect proof. It seems like you changed your song overnight from “member’s gain reports with no pic proof have no value to me and should have no value to anyone else” to “they may have some value.” As long as you’re here to PE rather than stir shit up, you’re cool with me, and I misread you as having an alternative agenda of simultaneously making an excuse for your lack of consistency in PE over a decade and discrediting the gains of those who had been consistent over that same decade. I smelled this attitude of “it didn’t work for me, so it must not work for anyone.” But I guess I was wrong. Sorry to have been so presumptuous.

As an olive branch I think the key question for you to answer while resuming PE is: how can I make this a consistent habit that will lead to long term gains? Maybe you need to sift through thousands of old threads and assemble a personal picture evidence thread to convince yourself it’s a worthy cause to devote yourself to. Maybe letting go of the need for proof and making a leap of faith that it will work if you gain enough knowledge and attempt enough methods. Maybe something else entirely.

I couldn’t understand why he wanted pics so bad, so it occurred to me as one possibility yes. And no there is absolutely no problem with being gay, or at least be attracted to males. I don’t try to put people in categories, it was a possible explanation for this need for pics, I should have kept it for myself.
I don’t see how what I wrote implied being gay was wrong, it seems you read whatever you wanted there.
I’ll just clear things up with him through pm.

My wife has a dildo that’s my old size. If I look at it it looks bigger than I am until I put it next to me. It’s a great reminder.

Indeed. I should get it out more often.

Great idea! Start doing it. There wasn’t anything in Walter’ post suggesting that being gay is bad.
