Title: ugly bloke contest
Post by: meems on July 15, 2018, 14:47:33
inspired by Matty's contribution in my bleach thread.
Lets face it , we aren't the fresh faced 20 somethings we were back when this group formed in 2000 around PC blitzbasic. So might as well enjoy our ugly balding middle age. I'll go 1st.

me age 39, wasting the last months of my 30s, looking forward to being a fat ugly 40-50 something middle age git whos life revolves around annual trip to thailand

Speak for yourself! I'm in the peak of physical fitness. Mind and body as one finally tuned coding machine ;D

I'll not be posting pics of me as I only exist in the cloud :))

I'd post a pic but I don't want to cause panic.

Am not posting (identifyable) pictures of me or my family on the net.

Especially so "exaggerated" pictures like in the OP are faster mis-used as meme-backgrounds than one can hit a "edit post" button.


bye

my god. u lot really are hunted by phantoms in your own minds. I'd call Derron out for thinking the world's out to get him, but who'd I be calling him out from? the rest of you? You all think the same he does, horrified of the idea of posting a selfie in case someone somewhere laughs at u. At least Derron admits it.

I wonder if one day you'll realise no one cares, and a meme post with your face wouldn't go viral even if u worked on it full time with £10,000 funding. It's a strange effect of low level paranoia, a kind of inverse egotism, thinking that at any moment a pic of u could leak out into some long fogotten corner of the internet and by the next morning your on the front page of every newspaper in the world and on breakfast news, and on everyone's mobile phone in a meme post on fb.
1.You're not that important.
2. You'd be up against people who crave that sort of attention and work on it full time.
3. No one cares, especially todays young people who are just thinking about getting laid
4. the days where random memes could go viral purely spontaneously are now in history, a past age of the internet.

If u don't want an ugly bloke thread, how about a thread discussing living with irrational perpetual fear of being exposed?

Hi Alien, respect for having courage to post self. But... you've posted your Tinder pics. You won't win any ugly bloke contest with them. Take the photo in harsh light, lean over so that your facial skin sags off your skull, be upsidedown so your head turns red and your blood vessels extrude, pull a face , leave your head hair unkempt. Imagine you're drunk, take the photo up close so the facial dimensions are distorted. We all have ugly potential, but some here haven't learnt yet how to unleash their potential.

you look a lot like and have the same facial expression my old friend Tim Mannveille had when he'd just got out of bed. Can't find a recent pic of him. You aren't Tim are you? Haven't seen you in nearly 20 years.
