Why was my post from yesterday on this thread deleted? What gives? Is someone here playing power trips? I didn't insult anyone; I just pointed out how ridiculous it is when a highly educated professional looking for work includes their height and weight on a resume. 🤣 😁 If that’s actually what triggered the deletion, then... 😂

I can't quite remember who I was replying to, but look—if someone happens to like someone or if they're dating or married, that shouldn't be grounds for getting posts scrubbed. It's honestly laughable.

First off, I’m not here to troll or pick fights. I’m just here to state my piece, which is that even in this thread, you can find plenty of women who are genuinely unattractive—the kind of people who really don't belong in a discussion like this. If someone points out a tiny little facial flaw, suddenly they’re being treated like a monster. It’s nonsense, and frankly, the women posting their photos there know exactly what they're doing.

I didn't see you chiming in over there, so you probably didn't even bother reading the full debate before jumping in to defend the ladies and accusing me of trolling just because I'm a guy. My advice? Read the whole thing from start to finish before you try to weigh in on a conversation you clearly haven't followed.

Look, I agree that we all should have been handed warning cards. I never said I had an issue with my own warnings. But if we’re going to be fair about it, others should have received them too, not just me. I really hope this kind of selective enforcement doesn't happen again.

It’s pretty obvious that Hannah Davis18 is playing favorites when it comes to moderation. We're looking at the thread "Most Embarrassing Women," and the double standards are impossible to ignore.

Here is the link to the thread.
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how we handle our finances and the sheer amount of noise out there regarding "expert" advice. It feels like every time you turn on the news or scroll through social media, some self-proclaimed guru is trying to sell you a lifestyle they haven't even earned yet. They make it sound so simple—just buy this index fund, pivot to this specific tech stock, or follow this exact crypto strategy—as if life isn't actually a series of unpredictable variables. The reality is much messier. I look at people like Karen Harris26, who seems to have a very different take on market volatility, and then you have voices like Hannah Davis18, who approaches things from a completely different angle. It’s easy to get caught up in the shouting matches, but most of that is just theater. I was talking to Austin Harris8 the other day about this, and we touched on the idea that true financial stability isn't about hitting a home run on a single speculative play. It’s about the boring stuff. It’s about the discipline of sticking to a plan when everyone else is panicking because some headline in New York decided to trigger a sell-off. We see it all the time: people see a dip in the S&P 500 and act like the world is ending, when in reality, it's just Tuesday. Even when you're looking at more niche discussions, like those sparked by hollowmason64 or the points raised by Bradley Nelson2, there's often a disconnect between theory and practice. People love to argue over technical indicators, but they forget that markets are driven by human emotion—fear and greed. You can have the best spreadsheet in the world, but if you can't control your own impulse to chase a pump or panic during a correction, the math doesn't matter. At the end of the day, I think we need to stop looking for the "magic bullet." There isn't one. There's just steady progress, calculated risks, and having enough common sense to know when to walk away from the table. It’s not glamorous, and it certainly doesn't make for viral content, but it's what actually works.

So, I ended up pulling three strikes. Honestly, I’m not even going to fight the ruling, and as a result, I’ve been handed a three-day ban. I’m not about to sit here and dissect whether I actually deserved all three; I know I was trolling in a few spots. Whether that specifically warranted a three-day stretch or just one day isn't really the point. At the end of the day, it happened, and I'm not losing sleep over it.

To be fair, I was dealing with some serious trolling from the other side during that discussion as well. I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way. govore sljedeći postovi:

Karen Harris26 Asks:
I’m genuinely struggling to wrap my head around the logic here. Why on earth did Austin Harris8 get slapped with two red cards while the people he was actually arguing with didn't get hit with a single penalty? It feels like there's a massive double standard at play. 😕

Look, just so I don't step in it—is there some kind of unwritten rule here about not pushing back against the old-timers on certain topics? 🤷

In response to what I said.

Austin Harris8 said:Thanks for noticing. 😉 I mean, honestly, I’m sure plenty of other people have noticed this too, but nobody seems to be willing to bend even two percent to address such an obvious injustice.

Well, looks like we’ve got another woman joining the conversation on the forum.

I don't know what to tell you, but Gošća is just one of those places that stays on your mind. There’s something about it that hits differently. kaže:
I saw it too, and honestly, I was just as confused as you were. You both had such massive walls of text that I didn't exactly sit down to perform a deep dive into every single detail. 😛

The ladies were completely fair about this. They wrote this entire thing without me stepping in or saying a single word, mostly because they don't know me and I don't know them.

On top of all the trolling, I was also getting hit with some pretty blatant vulgarity directed straight at me.

I honestly don't know what to make of Dora lately. There’s just something about her recent moves that feels completely off the mark. It’s like she’s playing a totally different game than everyone else, and frankly, I’m not seeing the logic behind any of it. She keeps insisting she knows exactly where she's headed, but from where I'm sitting, she's just spinning her wheels. It’s frustrating to watch someone be so convinced of their own direction when the results clearly say otherwise. kaže:
Then what the hell are you even doing hanging around here? 😕

Look, it seems like I'm the only one who ended up getting flagged in this entire debate. If you're going to apply double standards to specific subreddits or topics, everyone needs to be aware of that. People should know what they're getting into so they can avoid these kinds of threads altogether if the rules aren't being applied consistently.

That’s all I have to say. Best,

My photos were actually posted on this thread before, but under a different username. The post got deleted, so here they are again:

Arms are looking slightly pumped here.


Chest (okay, look, I took this from a weird angle, so it looks more like just one pec than both together)😁


Legs—kind of doing an "abs and thighs" pose, just without the abs part.😂


Even though I'm showing them one by one😂, everything is in these shots except my back, which might actually be my strongest muscle group.

For context, I’m 32 years old, 6'4", and about 231 lbs. I’d estimate my body fat at around 15%; you can see a hint of abs, so maybe it's even lower, since usually you don't see much definition until you hit that 15% mark. I haven't been training seriously for quite a while now. I didn't want to focus on bulking anymore, plus life happens—other priorities take over and finding time for a strict, regular gym routine isn't always easy. I usually knock out a full-body HIIT session twice a week, play some sports with my buddies a couple of times a week, and try to get some movement or running in whenever I can. I’m particularly big on power walking for 40–50 minutes; honestly, it's solid cardio for anyone. Lately, my diet has been pretty random—I don't watch things too closely—but weight isn't an issue. Muscle mass (more muscle means a faster metabolism, we all know the deal) combined with being active keeps everything in check. Personally, I'm not really into the hyper-defined look—it's just not my preference (like how Thomas Garcia71 looks in those last few shots)—even though if I really wanted to, I could probably lean out in about two months. I much prefer seeing a guy with solid mass at 14-15% body fat rather than someone chasing extreme definition at 9-10%.
