So I’ve been a member on and off for a good 11 years. Previously it’s felt like a very safe space. However I’ve recently noted an increase in toxic useds, body shaming and users with narcissistic views and a sense of entitlement.

I’m 5-11 and weight about 90kg right now following a period of incapacity due to injury. I was told by one user that I should ‘lose weight’ if I wanted to meet him - I’m not here to name a shame just raise awareness.

I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia since I was a teenager, and whilst I can process shit like this and challenge it, it makes me concerned for those who can’t do the same. Personally if someone sets an expected standard for me to meet them - i.e. ‘you have to be this weight, you have to be toned, you have to be under XX’ then I genuinely have no desire to meet them.

I’m lucky to have met some amazing people from this site, if I am going to change anything about myself however, it’s on my terms and not to meet with someone else’s agenda. I genuinely hope this sends a positive message to other users who’ve experienced similar.

Yes people have preferences and that’s totally fine, but when you point out to someone that they’re ‘not up to standard’ and suggest they change, that’s when it’s not ok. It costs nothing to be kind.

Mate these guys probably gas out quicker than you do now, so much mouth and so little action on this site.

You are an accomplished subs and pro wrestler who I’m itching to meet up with, if you’ve gained a bit then you’ll lose it or transform it to muscle.

His loss!

Absolutely their loss. I've seen levels of body shaming since I joined last year, it's not cool and people who shame like that don't deserve the privilege of meeting others, let alone someone such as yourself, mate.

👏👏👏 So true. It's 100% okay to not be someone's cup of tea, but to then make a point of it and make demands to meet their expectation, like they're the prize you have to work towards, is so gross.

I've had someone say this to me before too and it was instantly off-putting, so I'm sorry you've had to deal with this - hopefully in the future people become a bit more humble. At the end of the day, we're all here to have fun!

I understand…growing up I was always the kid picked last for kids teams…I made up injuries in high school for the years of PE so I wouldn’t be the dreaded “skins” team and take off my shirt.

Took a while to grasp a man’s true body is on the inside and is reflected in his character and the way he treats himself and others. Your “body” is the tops because of the man you are …well done bud 👍🏻👍🏻💪💪

And if our paths ever crossed whether it’s wrestling or grabbing a pint hit me up 👍🏻👍🏻Cheers!

So very sorry you are experiencing this. I’m always curious about people on here who rate other’s pics with a thumbs down…seems like if they don’t like the pic they could just move on without comment. Anyways it’s important to remember that only people who are unhappy with themselves will criticize others. Hope you continue to find many matches!

I appreciate you sharing, I know this is a touchy topic for a lot of people and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Yeah that's one thing I just don't understand on here regarding the site. Like body should not matter as far as who you want to face for whatever style. But not to defend anybody, I'm just saying that I think a lot of people lead with their fetish and don't necessarily see a match but a fantasy. That's really the problem of it all and it's not just like on here, it's in society. Everybody thinks they need to have the same type of body build instead of just having the body that makes you happy, or the body you see for yourself. Now do I think everybody need to be active, yes. Because it's good for your mental health (that's what got me more into fitness in the first place), for your heart rate, to relieve stress (When I was younger I did angry curls and angry crunches, lol).

Like everybody shouldn't be required to looking a certain way to have a match, it's the skill and personality that matters more than anything. If I have to add another personal request on my end, hygiene, lol. Anyway, like I know my body draws people for matches with me but that shouldn't be the only thing. I get those messages, but it's nice to see messages like "you look tough," or "you look like you'll be fun in the ring." like that's what matters. I don't look the way I look for matches on here, I look like this because this is my version of Bruce Lee I seen for myself and I made the sacrifices I was damn happy to make to get here and beyond.

I agree with you. While not everybody is going to be attracted to certain people, they don't have to be asses about it. If someone contacts me that I'm not interested in, I just say "thank you for reaching out but I don't think I would be interested." It's not necessary to give a reason and certainly not a nasty reason.

I agree with your thoughts SG82…. I get guys saying I’m too tall, as if I can do anything about that!
Fact is that if a guy demands a weight or look then they’re not worth meeting as the only thing wrestling will be in their speedo!
I look for attitude and ability above physical attributes - weight & size isn’t important but the willingness to compete and enjoy is!

Thank you! I completely agree, I’ve been on this site for a number of years, and have yet to have a match. At first, I was just trying to get the lay of the land, and I was intimidated. I’ve met some really nice guys on here, and there have been some guys interested in meeting, just no one local. Same story, I reach out and either get nothing back or get vitriol because I’m not their ideal opponent. I get it, I’ve put some weight back on that I need to lose, and I’m working on it, but for me and my husband, not for anyone else. Take me as I am…I appreciate your message…thanks again.

I just now saw this blog and just wanted to let you know I totally agree with everyone else's comments on here. Plus, I want to know what the hell is wrong with 5'11" and 201 pounds; sounds just fine to me. And even if you've put on a few extra recently, who cares? Of course, I'm partial to bigger men anyway, so maybe I have a biased opinion LOL. At any rate, I hope you've been able to ignore the body-shaming comments on here. I hate that sort of thing and there is no place for it anywhere, particularly on a site where a lot of people are probably nervous about putting themselves out there because they don't fit some sort of ideal. I certainly don't match it and, honestly, I generally prefer the guys who don't; they're more fun! Ignore the haters and embrace the ones who appreciate you as you are.
