No Pride

This post features nude photos. ***NSFW*** _________________________________________________________________________________  What gay man doesn't love bulging biceps, firm forearms, sculpted shoulders, plentiful pecs, a spicy six-pack, thick thighs, colossal calves, and a bubble butt, all found upon a marble statue of a man? *raises hand* Me. I'll take the "regular" man, any day. ... *drool* Woof. Don't get me wrong, guys with great physiques are attractive. My preference for regular men is one I've had for a long time, discovered by weighing the pros and cons of each and every body type. At the top of the "Physique Pyramid", are Gym Rats. Described at the very beginning. Men who go to the gym 4 or more times, spend at least 8 hours on workouts and additional personal care per week. You see Gym Rats all the time.

At the beginning of the year, I had a crushing sense of loneliness. I had just regained access to the internet and was looking for connections, friends, and "possibly more". The internet gives the LGBTQ community, and others, a laundry list of places to go where we can connect with others even when distance would otherwise prevent us from doing so. The fallacies behind online interaction don't get nearly as much attention as the positive aspects.   The internet probably carries an infinite amount of virtual hope for curing the all too familiar ailment of drifting as a gay man.

The sexual identity needle moved much faster than I could ...
