I’m with **think**. I’m happy with what I’ve got. Lawd knows, I work hard enough to keep it this way. [sub]It may not be perfect, but I’m perfectly happy with it.[/sub] ---

What are ya’ll fantasizing for? Just go to Mexico buy the right supplements, watch what you eat, workout for 13 weeks(little longer if you are real fat) and you will have it. 😃 ---

\*_Thinksnow_, if I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? 😃 I also think I look pretty damn good, courtesy of working my ass off in the gym five days a week (3 lifting days, 2 cardio). Perfection is an illusion because we all have little somatic idiosyncrasies that keep us from our pre-conceived notions of what we “should” look like. Just make the most of what you’ve got, and that’s all you need to worry about. ---

Humm, as far as I’m concerned, I _ **HAVE** _ the perfect body: - It’s strong - It doesn’t break down very much - I can do the things I want to do with it - It delivers mind blowing orgasms with the drop of a hat - It will deliver a hell of a nasty kick to someone’s head - A bit of yoga and it limbers up nicely - It doesn’t rebel when I ask it to do something new, like skiing. (I just started down-hill) Really, apart from my asthma, I have nothing much to complain about. So I suppose, if I had a _ **PERFECT** _ body, I wouldn’t use an asthma inhaler. Al. 🙂 ---

Dang goboy, You do your part. Ever considered using HGH(human growth harmone) supposably in small amounts itcan make you feel younger, more energetic and with your workout regimend sustantial more muscle size and cut? ---

I’d go around naked all the time. I’d throw away all my clothing except for a few pairs of obscenely short shorts, a few halter tops and some sexy, lacy underwear. I’d pierce my nipples and _never, ever_ wear an under-wire bra again. 😃 Then get a record deal and go on tour with my band…damn, I’m gonna go do a few sit-ups now ~Kittie ---

Sex. Lots of it, to make up for the long dry spell I’ve been going through. I’d lose the self-consciousness I feel about my body, and feel much more confident about approaching women, particularly those that were formerly “out of my league.” Since I’d have the perfect body instead of an average build (6 on a scale of 1-10, IMO), I’d probably get hit on a lot more than I already am. I wonder … do very attractive men and women really have sex more often than us average folk? ---

I wouldn’t care one way or another. Heh, **matt\_mcl** , until I saw “because that’s one of the sexiest pieces of clothing I’ve ever seen a guy wear,” I thought a girl posted that (didn’t pay attention to username). _smacks herself for stereotyping_ ---
