October Eye Candy

[RockHard]

RE: Feeling unappreciated

 

"If five more posters let me know that they like the pics that I posted, I'll start a new posts with new pics.

 

1 down, 4 to go. I like posting pics, but it helps to know that a good amount of people are enjoying them."

 

No offense, ROS, but folks who need constant affirmation when they do something nice and fun for others are...a little too needy and tend to be a pain. If you're going to be an angel, do it because it brings you pleasure and not because you require attention or affirmation.

 

Over "1000 Views" should indicate that many men are enjoying your pictures. Not to mention, throughout my history here, many guys have made it clear they love the fact that you post enjoyable eye-candy. What gay guy doesn't like to see a photo of a half-naked hot man? At this point, I think it's safe to assume you are loved and appreciated by everyone who manages to see the pics.

 

I have the most sophisticated high-speed internet connection money can buy and your eye-candy threads still take a few seconds to download fully. For weaker connections, the download will be significantly slower and many guys here have no patience. This is probably the main reason why you get few comments. I'm sure the guys with dial-up don't even bother clicking your eye-candy threads anymore.

 

I know many of these guys live for BIG but is it really necessary to post such huge photo files? You might get more commentary if the thread downloaded faster. Resizing the images before you post might help others appreciate you more.

 

Frankly, I prefer to just look. A picture is often worth a thousand words so I say, "Don't speak!"

Well said, Rock Hard. Well said.

You made very good points and I will do what I can to internalize them.

 

Instead of resizing the pics, I'll keep the number of replies that I post with additional pics to around 10. Before I was keeping them around 20. That should hopefully improve the amount of time it takes for people to fully open them.

 

Now back to business! 2 down, 3 to go! }( }( MWAHAHAHAHA

Just kidding :+ I'll start a new post of pics a little later

Why are people nice to RockHard when he says mean things to people? Was what he said to you mean or is my perception way off as I have the Pollyanna gene?

4 out of 5 message center members agree .. ROS' eye candy both titillates and satisfies! Keep them coming in any size and any format. My high speed connection is crisp and clear and my computer can deep throat anything you post. If others can't enjoy the visuals because their connection is, well, substandard, then they suffer. It's survival of the Net baby! Clean those portals and push the broadband limits to the max sister!

Dear Susan,

 

>I have the most sophisticated high-speed internet connection

MOST sophisticated? Does your Internet connection involve bio-neuro circuitry? Do you have an ISP that us "common folk" don't have access to?

 

Maybe you should test your connection to make sure your tin can and string connection is working.

You should be at 700 kilobytes per second or more for someone who has the MOST sophisticated high-speed connection on the planet. The pics for me load up 1-2-3.

 

>commentary if the thread downloaded faster. Resizing the

>images before you post might help others appreciate you more.

 

No need to resize if your connection is proper.

I have to admit that I was trying to be a little silly in my reply. Silliness is a significant part of my personality. I wonder how well it comes out in my writings on this boards.

RE: Feeling unappreciated

 

Sorry to agree with Rock Hard, but your pics could be a little smaller. To keep returning to see the updates and replies takes a long time in the download department. And frankly, who so many of them? Why not be more selective?

 

Having said that, and having now incurred the wrath of my dear friend VDN, I will also agree with Rock Hard that you should post the photos for your own amusement and satisfaction, not because of a desire for affirmation. Then you will always be satisfied!

I agree. I have no trouble in downloading these pics., takes about five seconds max. Why should those with state of the art systems have to succumb to the lowest common denominator.

 

What's next? Will they want us to throw away our ball point pens and revert to a quill?

"Why are people nice to RockHard when he says mean things to people?"

I haven't a mean bone in my body and posting such a statement is very mean-spirited of you, ValleyDwellerNorth. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

 

Stop putting your own negative spin on my words and, maybe then, you'll understand my sincerely helpful nature.

VDN...I Luv it when you talk Dirty! LOL :P

It does sound like some of the Guys around here, did use a Quill when they went to school! LOL :P

The horse is already dead Lucky. See my reply to Rockhard. No need to keep beating it.

Keep up the good work, ROS.

Oh my goodness. I have options here.

 

1) apologize

2) be very sarcastic

3) post a funny visual as a response

 

Now, choice 1 is hard for me to do in real life but in cyberspace is always easy to do. Choice 2 involves no thought or effort at all as I am naturally sarcastic. Choice 3 would just impede others getting to see ROS' wonderful work as another picture in this thread may take longer to load for people with slower Internet speeds.

 

What's a fellow to do? I will combine options 1 and 2!

 

Dearest Rocky,

I am sorry you viewed my comment as mean spirited. I am truly sorry you perceive my observation of previous posts you have made as not being "sincere" and "helpful". I will review previous posts you have made to fully grasp the helpfulness of your nature.

In much appreciation,

V

Dearest L,

My wrath is overrated. Lots of smoke and mirrors. HOWEVER, there is nothing you could say or do that would make me direct my wrath towards you. You are, after all, the Chairman of the Board of Stella's forever!

RE: Feeling hypocritical.

 

An apology is unnecessary, ValleyDwellerNorth, especially an insincere one. The greeting, "Dearest Rocky" is rude, condescending, and sarcastic. It may even be considered mean. I said nothing to you to warrant such reaction. So, please, spare me any more of your false word characterizations and hypocritical reprimands. Your bitch-slap served no positive kindness effect, whatsoever.

 

I have a feeling the OP understood my sincere attempt to help him get the credit he deserves and, frankly, that's all that matters to me.

Having "mouse" balls isn't anything to brag about VDN :+

 

Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL

You made no comment when I referred to you as "Susan" but when I add "dearest" you get mad?!? I was being nice, not insincere. However, since you are the only message center member in a long time (or ever, to be frank) to type out my WHOLE nome de plume I will not offer an insincere apology but a sincere "let's move on". I can be quite sincere.

 

>I said nothing to you to warrant such reaction. So, please,

You make me sound like an evil schoolmarm scolding a sassy little boy.

Well then, maybe I was just the highlighter to your text in this matter as the message seems to have been delivered now.

 

Have a good evening RockHard.

RE: Feeling hypocritical.

 

"You made no comment when I referred to you as "Susan"

I don't know why, maybe due to its placement, but "Dear Susan" escaped my radar. I doubt it would have made any difference because the name Susan means nothing to me. It's not a woman's name that any creative gay guy would use to refer to me. The name is too bland, too ordinary. Had I noticed it, I would have shrugged and wondered what you had been smoking.

 

"but when I add "dearest" you get mad?"

Darling, there you go again. Mad? Are you kidding? Nothing and no one on this board could ever raise my blood pressure to the point of being characterized as mad. My name is RockHard for more than one reason. It's a rare day when I will display anger in public.

 

"I was being nice, not insincere."

Sarcasm and "being nice" NEVER go together. Maybe it's time you acquaint yourself with Letitia Baldrige.

 

"You make me sound like an evil schoolmarm scolding a sassy little boy."

I might characterize that as an overactive imagination.

 

"Have a good evening RockHard."

I wish you the same, ValleyDwellerNorth.

Who in the hell is this delusional old freak rockhard ????

Is he really that much of an asshole ??
