GINGERMAN's blog
Do you ask for more photos of an opponent?
A camera captures images. But, from what I can say, is that pictures capture a lot more. And, these include what we see encircled above on the first page of Meet Fighters. Lots of pictures are in fact capturing members. Some of those are on the prowl for...well, ostensibly opponents. Now, let's pursue that activity and its purpose in more depth.
I put the question to you, reader, is this your chief motivation, to find someone who is worthy of engaging you in a match? Of course, in framing this inquiry, you may assume I may be somewhat skeptical should you answer, especially unhesitatingly answer, yes. And, believe me, you would be right.
Again, reader, I put another question to you; what is it you are looking for? Could it be a dazzling smile and a clear complexion as revealed in a portrait like photo? Or, perhaps might you be casting your gaze to a lower direction, to the body of a man with a fetching forest of follicles; one that is set off in a most appealing distribution, from the chest to even what is just below the umbilicus; complete with a distinct linear happy trail even? Or, is it the well cut definition of his musculature, from his traps to his six pack that is the main draw of your attention?
For those who will feel the need to leave a comment regarding this blog, I am sure there will be a variety of answers to the above. I will leave it to others to conclude whether these comments are honest, complete, and truly revealing. They even might be, you know.
But, reader, please allow me to return to the objects that festoon Meet Fighters' Page One. How much do you need to see to satisfy your curiosity? Do those you contact in the feeling out process balk at your request for more pictures? Do they seem to be hiding something if they do? Or, at the other extreme, is there a frenetic response to provide more photos, and if so, what might you conclude from this behavior, perhaps a certain touch of exhibitionism? There are a few who certainly qualify for this trait.
You know that the photos one sees on someone's profile page may well have been deemed avatar quality; and, that assessment as you should know has been made by a committee. Those photos that didn't reach that high bar of acceptance may be displayed elsewhere, and some of them have even been designated “soft porn.” You needn't tell us, reader, but which do you prefer?
Whatever you arrive at from the photos you employ in selecting the person whom you wish to take on in a match, I would caution you to remember that line from HMS Pinafore: “Things are seldom what they seem; skim milk masquerades as cream...”

12/20/2021 6:12 PMWell said, readers. Honest I believe.

12/20/2021 11:16 PMI'm all about fun. If the guy looks like he can kick my ass, that is fun to me. A bonus if you look intimidating (but not the creeper kind, lol) Height and weight and all of that doesn't matter. It matters more that you're physically able. I'm not interested in a 15 min to 25 min meeting. I also like when the gear reflect an represent the person. Tells me they're into it.
As far as how my pics come off, I don't know. My goofy-hyper ass just try to look badass. Tiger and not Tigger, lol.

12/21/2021 12:49 AMThree cheers for fun! Yes, but a picture cannot predict what I think TTPA means by the reference to time; namely, endurance. Were someone on the hefty side, one might assume that his endurance would be less than splendid. But, that comes back to my comment highlighted by the line from Pinafore.
Now, I do think that this sterling member is employing a bit of humility. Hey, most of us would probably crow were we to have his abs, really! But, what I do not understand---and I mean this---what is TTPA referring to by his comment regarding his "goofy-hyper ass"? I have taken the time to review all pictures that he has made available to us to peruse, and I find none depicting any type of gluteal example. Forgive me, if out of a sense of propriety, I don't comment on what otherwise is displayed, although the word that does come to mind is endowment.

I believe the 'ass' reference you speak of uses the term the same way as when one would say, 'get your ass out of here.' Or, 'your ass is grass.' 😀😁😂

Correct, I am referring to me the person by saying ass.

Yeah endurance and not having having a can't be touched here, there, and there. Like it's no fun if you have to think about what might hurt the person.
Oh, it's just there's different sides of me, you know. The "goofy-hyper ass" is what people that encounter me see the most. When I was on the chat (I don't do that anymore), it was common on there. I just mean I try to look serious and intimidating in my pics so I'll be taken seriously. I don't want to be treated cutesy so I hope my pics don't come off that way.

12/21/2021 2:36 AMOh, I have no idea as to whether you were abused, kidded, or whatever on Chat. But, seriously, fun is what it should be all about as you pointed out. The grimacing I see, the bearing of teeth, is so phony. I really like to see smiles and in some cases some really hilarious mugging. Give it your best shot. (Okay, and I still am hoping for some photos of your ass.) :)

LOL, you're something else man.

12/21/2021 3:09 AMI can only assume---bad word: ass-u-me---that you intended that as a compliment. I must be careful of people who are strangers to me when they compliment me; something untoward might occur. Of course, from your point of view, having the same equal status of me being a stranger to you, there is not doubt about it; I am the real McCoy: strange.
