Help for a possible 1st timer (woman)

On a side note: Do any of yall get random chat messages from people? Ive had a couple pop up asking me for help with brewing and what someone should take and what dose. It caught me off guard since thats not something I would have any idea about...
I've received a few weird chat messages as well. Someone looking for people in his state, another one asking me to teach him how to post on this forum (wtf) and another asking for a source. I don't even bother to answer them.

Yeah definitely ignore them unless they are a newb looking for advice, then just point them to the search and read.. But most of those are from jackasses trying to sell or scam you.. Looking good in your pic. Keep up the great work!

clearly I dont...because pretty much everyone knows Im an asshole :D
could be innocent, could be cops, could be a creepy way of trying to hit on you.
If it gets out of hand just choose a member you see post frequently and confide in them for advice..most active members here have the community's best interests in mind

There are all sorts of crazies out there that don't post to the forum, but lurk and try to scam members. Always be wary of that, and if in doubt, check with a trusted member. You should see some of the sob stories I get, lol

You should feel offended. No one asking for tits or better! :D

What kind of sob stories?! Wow. People are pathetic.
 
The sob stories are almost always looking for a source or trying to sell me something, and if they aren't they will eventually bring it up. I have had the stories "my gear was stolen", my g/f dumped my stash, I'm going to compete and my source went belly up, and the "I will send you X amount of free gear to review, yada yada yada.... All sorts of BS over the years... The fact remains, never attach your name to any source;)

more sharks here than you think, guys prey on the weak/uninformed. May give you a sob story to make you feel sorry for them, but let your guard down and they will exploit it. There are all sorts of reverse scams, blackmail, etc goin on the boards. Ive made some very good friends here, real friends...spent Xmas eve with a member and his wife. However you should still be wary if something feels weird, and run it by a member you trust. For users in the US the risk is very real because there can be large implications in regards to employers, health insurance, etc. Law enforcement is actually a rather minimal concern for most guys.
 
I just told them to search the forums. One was pretty insistent that I knew what he should be taking so had to block him. What I found to be off, was that none of them have any pics or prior postings. Wasnt sure what the deal was with that.

Ive been doing mostly high intensity cardio to burn the fat and some strength to maintain what I have. Ive been meeting my girlfriend once a week, sometimes twice, depending on her schedule. Those days are always strength.

Yea, I get those from time to time.
Just ignore them. I think it's safer not to engage in conversation.

how your meal prep going you preportioning things? taking healthy snacks with you? :D
no Bojangles and chic-fil-a?
 
I've been really good, except for brunch with the girls Sunday and longhorns last night. I've been able to stick to 3 eggs for breakfast, protein shake for lunch and lean protein with salad for dinner. Snacks have been fruit, sometimes a whole grain English muffin. I've definitely been better with the diet but I still can improve a little

good work!
diet is the key, and healthy sleep patterns. Everyone can always do a little better, I had a substantial breakdown last night and ate an entire container of rocky road :oops: Just cant bring that shit into my house, self control is not my strong suit.

side note: have veins poppin everywhere in my shoulder and traps this morning :eek:

I've read about all kinds of shady things going on in this board, including some of the things you've listed above. I'm always suspicious if I get a random pm or chat pop-up.

I think it's great that you've had the opportunity to make legit friendships on here. I don't doubt that there are trustworthy members, but it's a little nerve-wracking to put your guard down.

There are some great guys and girls here...best you'll meet. I'm as wary as anyone you will meet in regards to security, to the point sometimes guys like to razz on me about it. Keep in mind I will have been a daily poster for 2 years come 5/1...took time.

cept for me n' @Bmae1 ..it was pretty much love at first sight. My head said whoa but my heart screamed go :cool:
 
Say what..? Did you not post your physical home address on here to fuck with that guy who was trolling lol?
eman...come on brother :D
Cop called me a dogfighter and said he'd "end me", offered 2k for my address.
I gave him the address of a convicted dogfighter fresh out of prison with what some may call "a high propensity for violence".
