I don’t like the idea of making PE more public than it already is.. specifically to the female population of this planet, because it raises expectations.
Soon we have woman saying “I like your character, but in bed I need something bigger, go start PE”.
Which maybe would be tolerable if PE worked for everybody the same way, as a hardgainer I can say it doesn’t.
The girl thatcat mentioned in his first post, what did she see ? IMO she saw pictures of a certain percentage of PE’rs - the ones that gained considerably. Now there are few pictures of PE’ers who PE’ed their asses off and didn’t gain, so she must think as long as you PE you’ll gain, whereas I think the reality might be something more like “out of 10 PE’ers 3 gain considerably in a serious amount of invested time, 7 gain little to nothing.” ( this really is just an estimation !!!!)
This is one of the reasons I decided not to tell my wife about my efforts btw - and looking back I’m happy I didn’t do it, although the decision caused negative consequences in our/my personal life. Because it might have raised expectations in her and failing would be at least twice as frustrating for me.
