What is the most gratifying part about being a member of the realjock community?

For me, its the inspiration I get to work out.

the interesting mix of personality's all brought together over an odd thing of our sexuality and getting physically healthy.

Plus there are some funny peoples around here

For me, it is the community. The people on RJ are "filtered" by their dedication to improving their lives and acting on that. So the guys on here are several cuts above what you normally find on a website.

It's nice to see gay men interacting in a fairly healthy manner and encouraging responsible behavior. I've lurked on some gay-oriented websites, sitting virtually expressionless at my computer, shocked at the utter disregard for human life and dignity that passes for "freedom" in certain quarters of our community.

Grown-a** men my age and older engaging in "bareback" sex with STA-RANGERS! (think of Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford), and encouraging younger men to do the same: no good. This is a refreshing change.

I can read what older people have to say.

It's the sense of superiority I get when dealing with people like Caslon, zdrew, and jprichva everyday on here.

Hehe, but seriously...no actually, the above is true.


It's a great place, a diverse group of people that makes this place quite interesting. The programs are great, the tips on exercises and nutrition are amazing, and the many beliefs and ideas on a variety of subjects that people share I may not agree with, but they make me think about my own beliefs and opinions.

For the most part, RJ is light-hearted and fun, though I've been known to lose my temper with some people on occasion. One thing I think people need to keep in mind is that these types of forums are open to all, so you'll be dealing with people you normally wouldn't associate with in real life. There are pros and cons attached to that fact, and for better or worse, it keeps it interesting.

It seems to be a bunch of great guys who aren't looking for a quick hook up. I can talk to guys without feeling like they're trying to break up my relationship with a hook up.

ShawnTO's and Zdrew's ability to highjack a thread. It is so exhilarating to see masters at work

We do have a bad habit of that, don't we? Oh and making the people we don't like...disappear.

ShawnTO saidWe do have a bad habit of that, don't we? Oh and making the people we don't like...disappear.

yes, I see you have struck again...and no fingerprints or traceable clues....what a Master! and me a poor grasshopper before you ...

Who me? I didn't do it.

I like the community much better than any other gay website for many of the reasons already mentioned, but mostly for the forums. I know that I can come online here and find something amusing, something thought provoking, something informating, and occasionally one thing or another that really pisses me off. Plus, I've met some really great guys on here, who I hope I will have the pleasure of meeting some day.

To me its like having conversation with a variety of neighbors and friends. This site has a great group of friendly inteligent guys of all ages from all walks of life. The younger guys on here are impressive to me by their being in touch with current events, and overall well rounded views of life, and the world around them. Everyone seems to have some fun here too !! take shawnto and caslons going back and forth at each other above for example !!! its great !!! friendly and brings cheer for all of us !!!! I really enjoy this community of men.

caslon saidShawnTO's and Zdrew's ability to highjack a thread. It is so exhilarating to see masters at work

Hey, we've learned from the best. And for the record, I always try to bring the conversation back around to the topic at hand (well, almost always).

That said, I like this community because I've met some really, infinitely awesome guys who I think I'd be great friends with in real life, and who motivate me, make me laugh, and all that good jazz.

Also: the top-notch humor, intelligence, and lack of smutty sleaziness to the site make it several dozen cuts above anything else I've found.

Are you saying my pic doesn't qualify as smutty sleaziness? You break my heart zdrew.

I like the atmosphere here.
There are great work-out plans and ideas, and the people are pretty cool too.
The only thing that I dislike is that I can't search for people by gym, to see any members who go to my gym, since it's a ridiculously small place.
But I love the news, forums, and comradere.

ShawnTO its a little smutty but thats ok...

I enjoy the intelligent Posts and even some of the Real Dumb one's at times!

ShawnTO saidAre you saying my pic doesn't qualify as smutty sleaziness? You break my heart zdrew.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UHHHH !!! ShawnTO !!!! I couldn't help "overhearing" what you said to zdrew >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>something about your pic not qualifying as smutty sleasiness, well, buddy I looked at your pic, and those tits of yours are perfectly "wholesome", like "baseball and applepie" you better cover them things though !!! you don't want some of caslons "LOLCATS" getting ahold of them !!!

GobB saidShawnTO its a little smutty but thats ok...

Awww, your sweet, thanks.

I represent the RealJoke chapter of this e-community.
I'm thirty-fwhore

It's a wonder they still let you in.

It's a great and healthy way to improve your social network, with the added bonus of the fitness aspect associated with this site.

I've found this is a place where I can be entertained, inspired and pissed off beyond all belief and back again before I even scroll halfway down a page.

I like RJ because it feels more like a community were you can learn from others people with different experiences and viewpoints. I'd like to improve my health as well, and this place seems the spot for that, it inspires me to start going back to the gym. I feel that RJ members are here for things other than sex, and that's the kind of community I want to be apart of right now.

ShawnTO saidIt's a wonder they still let you in.

Bitch, it's for my mental health... or what's left of it.

GobB saidWhat is the most gratifying part about being a member of the realjock community?

The turkey muffins.

The fitness info, the forums, and all the cool dudes over here!

Oh, and this little pesky rodent called Zim! Hehe!

muttskins saidThe fitness info, the forums, and all the cool dudes over here!

Its all the fuckin man tits you can jack off to...Unclassy thats what that it.

The fact that there's a community that is almost antithetical to the common stereotype.
I've 'met' a number of incredible guys here.
In the forums, there are a lot of genuinely considered responses (funny, intelligent, and relevant). It can truly challenge your ideas and concepts and for me, make me think more deeply about my own ideas.
Obviously the sports and fitness.

You so fucking hot...Damnit...You know..Its dick teases like you that make things hard for poor saps like muttskips and zimatar..."I" however am totaly capeable on my own...totaly...I don't need your judgement...I don't AWWWW HUH HUHHHH.

I enjoy all the personalities. I even like all the guys who disagree with me on some topics. I like to be challenged and it really enhances critical thinking.

It's also a great source of amusment, some of you guys are hilarious.

I agree with GobB, I get the inspiration to workout more too.

I learn a lot from this forum. It's good knowing you guys.

I like Caslon's comment and I agree. I think the sincerity with many here is evident. I'm drawn and appreciate the interaction, even with those who have
differing views on politics and other aspects.
I'm glad its here.

muttskins said

MUTTSKINS!!!! Um........

Where else can you laugh.. get good advice... be pissed off ... and and see some real hot guys all at the same time? I ask you

I like it for the noble, grownup sentiments.

My instinctive response to most of these topics is to place a whoopee cushion on someone's seat.

Then I read all these intelligent, sane, truly well-thought out answers to the questions posed in these forums, and well, it makes me stop--and think---and ponder---

And then I say, Oh, fuck it, where's my whoopee cushion?

Oh the forums and topics are all grand.
But let's face it - the hot men.

This was my first step into any type of gay community. This site and the members on it have really helped me with the coming out process and just accepting who I am.

It has also shown me that there are a lot of really great gay men out there, but they're all unfortunately taken or at least a 1000 miles away....haha

thanks for all the replys. yeah it is a great site. everyone seems really cool and friendly. and these formus give me a good laugh.

I'm just here for the 'ChubbyDating' banners...

C'mon, baby! *F5*.. damnit *F5*..son of a.. *F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5*
/roar

None of my friends are athletically inclined. I get complimented by them and it makes me feel good, but it would also make me feel like I have arrived and don't need to work towards something.

Then I see your rippling torsos and realize I have a long way to go. So thanks for the inspiration.

(secretly, I also love to tease a certain Kansan about a certain senator. shhh, don't tell anyone.)

Occasionaly being agreed with.

You're wrong.

Ouch!!!

Kisses!

Why Realjock Community? It's minty freshness.

Ditto to what Caslon said. And the charmingly acerbic wit splattered all over the forum threads. I won't single anyone out (cuz there are a lot), but RJ is usually good for a smile on days when I need one at work.

Thanks guys.

Timberoo saidWhy Realjock Community? It's minty freshness.

More fruity than minty, I suspect.

I come here for zdrew, my Sometime Samurai

MunchingZombie saidSo thanks for the inspiration.

James!!

I'm glad to give you proper inspiration.....lol
and she must be a fantastic senator to warrant teasing.....

thanks!

I can honestly say that my comming here the first time was completely by accident. I was on Myspace and trying to click on a link to one of my friends pages when my mouse decided to send the pointer flying across the page(I think the mouse was possesed lol). Well I ended up clicking on the RJ banner instead.

After seeing the hot guys on the front page I became a creeper around the site for a while, then finally decided I should give it a try. Sooo glad I did too!!!

I have met some VERY wonderful guys here, and having the comunity on RJ made comming out alot easier.

I'd say StripperRocco makes me come, but that might be misconstrued.

HndsmKansan saidMUTTSKINS!!!! Um........

What???

Community of gay men who appreciate the importance of fitness and nutrition. That was my initial attraction.

The free workout plans are stellar! If you've surfed many other health and fitness sites some of these workout plans and nutritional advice would cost you.

I find the hotness of the personal profiles and forums an added bonus to meet some incredible gay men from around the world.

um...

World Peace?

It's everything... of course gotta admit there is a shallow desire to see guys in their underpants posing in some cute cocky position with their handheld cameras. Sure I could find that and more on any gay website, but there's more. The range of guy's personalities, points of view, sense of humour, wittiness and ability to keep up to date on the latest Relative news is also VERY attractive. Not only that, but I finally have a place to discuss, learn and speak my mind on issues; and there are people Actually Read and UNDERSTAND. Not just any average fitness website, not just any typical gay website. It's the only R-Rated website for me.

Respect. There are very few "flamers" here, and in using that word, I mean it in "net-speak", not "gay-speak". Yes, there's disagreement based on beliefs, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone really lash out in a disrespectful way to other members.

This site makes me feel so damn straight.

zimatar saidThis site makes me feel so damn straight.

um...ah...ahem...no comment.

Just wait 'til Sex & The City hits the theaters! HMP

zimatar saidThis site makes me feel so damn straight.

This site makes me wanna be straight.

...

I kid! I kid!

The longer am on Real Jock what I love the honesty that comes across in the threads. Thanks guys
