You can try, but I’m guessing it’s a little wordy to fit nicely on the biceps.
Not if they’re HUGE!
I was the one who found it disingenuous. If you don’t think that expression is attractive then you would not take multiple photos of yourself looking that way and then post them on facebook AND here for judgement. Honestly, even if they were pictures of you looking your very best, I have a hard time following the thought process that leads someone to take a whole bunch of very similar pictures of themselves and post them online. In fact, the only people I have ever seen do this are people (usually teenagers, really) who make that same face you make (or duckface if they’re girls.) So yeah, I think you make that face on purpose cuz you think it looks sexy. Because, again, if you didn’t think exactly that, there is no reason for you to do it over and over again. It doesn’t make sense that you think, “Gee, when I take photos of myself I tend to look unnatural and grouchy. I’ll take a half dozen more and put them online!”
Was looking for a sex tattoo.
7/10. Your face is all right looking, better than average I guess, but I don’t find you very attractive.
Theoretically, I would totally date a guy I thought was hot (I have a ‘type’) with partial paralysis who used a wheelchair. I could imagine having a LTR too, as long as sex worked out.
It reminds me of the high school girls who post lots of pictures of themselves with captions like “OMG, I’m soooooo ugly!”, desperately seeking compliments on their appearance. Back when I was in high school some girls did a low-tech version of this by standing in the bathroom at school, staring at themselves in the mirror and saying things like “ugh, I’m sooooo homely!”, hoping against hope that some other girl would jump in and say “no way, Tiffany! All the boys think you’re hot!”
I think it’s weird that someone would post so many pictures that not only show the same expression, but also seem to be taken in more or less the same circumstances. I can accept that some people always make more or less the same face in photos, and that’s fine in pictures like “here’s me on vacation in Paris!” or “here’s me at a ball game with my Dad!” or “here’s me holding my new baby niece!” but it’s weird in “here’s me inexplicably sitting at home in my bathroom, over and over and over again!”.
They were just Facebook profile pics. I got tired of one so I’d just snap another one impulsively. Usually, this would occur when I was at home, so most of them are at home. How anything I’ve said was disingenuous is still a mystery to me. Maybe you think it looks sexy and that’s why your panties are all up in a bunch, eh?
Jamie, your responses to comments in this thread give me a much clearer picture of you than any you posted in Facebook.
Would you like to clarify that statement? Or did you intend to leave it open like that? How should I respond to clearly negative, snarky posts? (definitely not saying all are)
I am not allowed to give my impression of you because of the rules of this forum.
Ahh, I see. But everyone else is, why not?
They are responding to your photos. As you may recall, way back at the top, I said I was unable to see them. My impression of you is not a result of looking at your photos, but of reading your comments.
And you just cannot convey it without terribly insulting me with tons of expletives, right?
Hey, he lathered all that Goldfinger shit on, thats got to count for something, surely?
Someone else does that. He just sat there while it got sprayed on.
You could easily substitute “Facebook profile pics” with “Straight Dope threads” here and it would explain so much.
I am generally able to express my opinion without resorting to a string of obscenities.
Different standards of beauty being used, is all. As I said, there’s no actual real physical activity involved in the competition itself aside from flexing. If a morbidly obese woman had to work for months, maybe years, to slim down for a beauty pageant that still wouldn’t make it a sport.
well, guess I’ll my two cents in.
The face is great. You’ve got good looks in the face department, and I’m another one who likes strong eyebrows. I do prefer my men with hair. I wouldn’t rule out a bald guy, but it’s not something I find attractive.
You’re both a big young for my tastes (I prefer men older than me) and a bit over muscled. Again, these are instant “no”, just that I don’t find either particularly attractive. If, hypothetically, we were dating (unlikely, I know) I’d really have concerns about the amount of time your body-building would take up vs. how much time you’d put into a relationship. It also makes me wonder about your expectations for a partner - would you expect your date to be as athletic, or does it not matter that much to you? Maybe your participation in competitive body-building wouldn’t be a problem, but going in I’d actually be more concerned about that than the wheelchair.
Ah, yes, the chair - well, I’m already married to someone disabled. Granted, my spouse isn’t in a 'chair at this point, but he was as a child and certainly might be in the future. Disability doesn’t frighten me. Again, not something I’d find a plus, but it’s something I know can be dealt with. The fact that you are clearly a physically fit and active disabled person is what I find attractive. It makes me think that you aren’t at all the sort who sits on the sidelines afraid to try, no, you’re going to dive into whatever and do your damnedest to make it work somehow, and you won’t be afraid to go places and do things. I also clearly wouldn’t need to do much for you, given that you are obviously pretty strong outside of the disability - my current spouse is, in many ways, not as capable as you seem to be even if he can walk instead of wheel. I get tired of carrying, lifting, opening jars*… it would be nice to have a man around who can do some of that for me for a change.
*Actually, I found a battery operated jar opener for my sweetie - now we’re back to him opening all the difficult jars. He can feel all manly, get his geek on for doing it by, essentially, a battery-operated robot, and I can go do something else.
Someone gets paid to do that?
