Does being too tall have issues? My babbling thoughts about last night

After a too brief visit to the "Two Dave's" annual Christmas party in San Carlos, I then went to meet up with "Mamas Family" for the Alameda County Leather Association Christmas Toy Drive in Hayward. One of the men selling the raffle tickets was very tall. In fact huge. His hands were huge. His feet were huge. He could probably could of lost a few pounds, but in any case I thought. Where does one buy their clothes? Then thinking: Do very tall/big people have a complex of being too tall? Do they wish they were shorter? Some big people I do envy. Although I'm 5'11", I sometimes wish I were taller and larger. However,I have been with some of the guys of the "Big and Tall Club of SF. Man! I did not know how tall one could get! I would not want to be that tall. Do they have some psychological issues as short people do?

A couple of hours later then I was off to the Powerhouse Bar (Powderpuff) in SF for another Toy Drive event. Standing in the somewhat crowed bar, there was a group of very tall and big football type(muscular but not the steroid types... well maybe a bit) standing in front of the stage. All easily over 6'4''. All very good looking too (seems that the Powerhouse bar is attracting the muscle bear crowd). One of the hunkiest ones came up to me, introduced himself. Swoon! OK. Double swoon! What lats! What arms! What a chest!! He had questions about Mama, how the family works, the toy drive etc. Somehow the subject came up , saying he "loves" big men. I figured so. They all hang out together, and one would be squished underneath one (I wouldn't mind :). Anyway, I again thought, as I was eying his perfectly muscular butt and under those tight jeans, "Do they like being big, or tall". Or would they rather be more on the "average" height and size. It seems to me that many seem shy. Maybe because they stand out more, they get more stares. So maybe they tend to withdraw a bit. The public tends to equate large with being more masculine, and secure. More virile. The hunter syndrome. Maybe a ingrained mindset over the thousand of years, when we were hunters and gatherers. Large man = Good hunter. Large man = Good provider. Large man = Good pro-creator. I have read some articles of men that are fed up of being so large. Tired of people assuming things about their size. (Big size does not always equal big penises). Some complain of back problems due to size. Issues when shopping for clothing, cars not big enough etc.

I must say it seems that since these men are genetically predisposed to being tall and big boned, and possibly too heavy as well, they are lucky. For they are using this gift to shape their bodies to the max via diet and working out. They probably don't need much work to build muscle (hate genetics!). Good for them!

At any rate, being happy for who you are and loving yourself for being you, no matter what your size is what is important.

Note: The huge hunky man before leaving the bar, came over to me ,and gave me a big goodbye hug. Swoon again! Since he and his humpy gang frequent the Lone Star... guess I will too :-)

Lj censorship

So. Does that mean they may also be censoring us due to the type of Userpics posted? No matter what the written content contains? I have seen some doozies! :o)

For a change

For a change (maybe the DJ was sick today) the music at the Eagle was very good. Not the "Hole in the Wall" stuff. Packed, weather somewhat warm, with the heat lamps on. And serving Costco burgers (yum). And of course there was lots of eye candy.

Lone Star was fairly crowded. They have not tented the patio yet. And some eye candy to behold too. And to my surprised, Glen and Steve (Snatch) showed up. They both poop pooed the Lone Star many a time. This time Steve says, "There are some hot men here. I'm getting into bears and muscle bears". I said, "See? Told you. You should see what there is to see at Lazy Bear. Your neck will be sore from rubber necking, there are so many hunks." :-).

Today Mama said she found a fantastic place for Lazy Bear Weekend. On the River, and walking distance to all the events. She will be checking it out Christmas day, when she brings toys up for the underprivileged children. If it looks good, we will book it. YAY. Can't wait!

FLAGGING??? NO WONDER. LJ HAS BEEN SOLD- To Russia?

Ahhh. That's why all the changes. They needed to clean it up? I may be jumping to conclusions, but now that LJ is now owned by the Russians, thus the increase in censorship?? Maybe not?

the faceless "grope"

OK. I got a grope, or a "They Like You" on one of the "dating sites", from a faceless person again. I always find it amusing that people post photo profiles of their genitalia, and not their face. Unless that is their face. Or unless they are hiding from the wife or husband. What's the deal? Show your face. You might be surprised, someone may like you. Or what's also annoying is that they have photos of the dog, cat, car, house, countryside. ????

I also find it amusing that those that say they are tops, have photos of their butts and legs in the air. Well, if they are in SF, that I understand. They are all BOB's anyway (Big Ole Bottoms) LOL. But what is really annoying are the bad quality photos, that one can hardly make out. Or as in Dudesnudes, video quality so bad, why post?
