Once upon a time RJ was a pretty cool place where there was genuine interaction of guys in all stages of fitness looking for workouts, tips, camaraderie, etc. Then things took a notably sour turn and it basically became a place where twinks and a few really huge guys who as you said were either dealing with their internalized homophobia or were just jerks stomped all over the boards. I hit the wall with it when one particular twink asserted that "all fat people are lazy." That turned pretty ugly, as you can imagine and the easy-going vibe of the forums kind of dissolved. Sad, really. Thankfully we met a lot of cool people on there before things went south, and there's always hope that things will regulate. We'll see. I pop in once in a while just to see what's up. The tone seems to be pretty benign, no doubt a result of many being turned off by the negativity on the boards. <strong>@Marv ~ well "pop in" more often. </strong> Yeah, I had pretty much left after things turned ugly on the forums a while ago (a little less than a year to my recollection).

They are all a bunch of jock wanna-bes. If you could combine the guys of BigMuscle with the RealJock site, that would be a truly amazing site. <strong>@Chris ~ well not all bad. DocMarvy and Hobronto are both on there, both upstanding guys in my book. *g*</strong> Everything about the site is really awesome, except the guys. They are all a bunch of jock wanna-bes.
