This was a popup ad wasn't it?

It was always Keyon and Teyon for me:

The faster we get to a sense of normality where politics is about substantive policy debates and economics, the better.  Sadly it seems the only chance to escape this ridiculous political theater is in 2018/2020.

1)  You may be retaining water, give it time.
2)  Calories in, calories out.  90% of losing fat is diet.  Cardio is great but you need to focus on diet to lose fat.

Speaking as a bit of a fit gym bunny… seeing plus-size dudes at the gym is actually really encouraging.  I'm always super happy to see them there because I know it's a huge lifestyle change and they gotta overcome a very tough sense of self-consciousness that can be super scary.

Please don't be afraid to go to the gym:  the vast majority of people don't care and they are more focused on their own workouts anyway.  Of the people who DO care, I think the sentiment is much more positive and negative.  A lot of us are cheering you guys on and hope to see you as regulars!  :love:

Part of it is cultural, and the look you're going for.  Asian prettyboy?  Shoulder-length textured hair with feathered ends is hot as hell.  Short hair on Asian guys just tends to make them melt into the background a bit too much.

Native American?  Long hair is sexy as hell.  It also has a lot of cultural significance which I appreciate.

But if you're a paunchy white guy with unruly facial hair?  It just makes you look like a mess.

Fit white guy like Chris Hemsworth's Thor, with beard and hunky gym bod?  Hell yes.

It's all a matter of context.  It works if you're clean and prim and elegant, or if you've got a wild warrior-type of build.  Most other cases than that, it's very hard to make it attractive.

Barring the obviously illegal stuff and scat and other smelly things, I'm actually p adventurous when it comes to porn.  It's all a fantasy so I can enjoy some pretty kinky things, especially when the bottoms are very cute (otherwise I just get bored).  Except like, really extreme foot fetishism.  Feet just aren't all that attractive to me.

Women with really garish makeup is also a turnoff.

It's not the excessive moaning that's the problem IMO.  It's just that it always sounds so fake, like they're playing it up for the camera.  You can tell that in reality they're just bored.  I mean jeez at least shudder and squeak and bite your lip a little.

@Opiam:

France is not in the top 20  :cry2:

Must be the fashionable ennui.

The vast majority of humans are actually bisexual to some degree or another.  It's just that Western culture has enforced heterosexuality as the norm.  If you look at any other culture before the Colonial era you'll find that it was actually very normal for young men to have sex with other male youths.  In some cases gay sex was considered a rite of passage.

I kinda hope to be there one day when he wakes up and realizes that the last 20 years have been a farce and that he's wasted his life promoting horrific ignorance.

I just wanna see the look on his face.

It really depends on where you are and what your life is like.  Do you have a big social network outside of churches and really religious people where this sort of thing would matter?  Then sure, come out as atheist if you want.  But if you're still socially and financially dependent on friends and family who would be disturbed by your apostasy, then it's a risk.
