Everyone that has posted a pic here looks so young and beautiful. Shogun looks like he could be a model. Would have never though if I saw any one the street that these people were lonely. I can’t help but wonder why?  I always thought the beautiful people got friends and lovers without any help at all.

I haven’t had my picture taken in over 10 years. Except for my Drivers license picture, which I look like an axe murder. I would never scare anyone with a pic of me. It is just best for the general public. LOL

You're very flattering John, but greatly mistaken, as many are, that if you're "good-looking" you're not lonely. I went the circuit in college, was a cheerleader, attended the parties, dated all the "right" guys, but it was so fake. I felt so detached from the crowd even while standing in the middle of them. I played the part, but couldn't connect with them. I didn't feel I was better than, just knew I wasn't like them. (Maybe others felt the same as I did and we were all fake, who knows.) I found more and more that gave me reason to pull away, I didn't drink (can you imagine what the frat parties were like when I always jumped to be the DD so it wasn't so obvious that I didn't drink), didn't sleep around (became considered a real prude by some), etc. I never really found a real way to socialize, but I never really felt I wanted to honestly be in their company to start with. Wow, I've rambled. Sorry!

Hi shinojuly! Nice picture! I hope you really enjoy your trip! Take care!

Shino, you are beautiful. Nice pic, where are you?

Teach - I like what you have to say. School/College (or life in general) can be really hard for lots of people & it's easy to forget that the people who seem to 'have it all' are often just as miserable as the rest of us. In fact, it's probably harder keeping up with the 'in crowd' than not actually being part of it in the first place. The grass is always greener, no matter who we are. Good on you for not getting off-your-head-drunk & for not sleeping around when you were younger - I bet lots of people look back & wish they had had your standards & strength at the time. If you didn't really want to be in their company anyway then you certainly did yourself a favour

Hi Scorpio.

You're right, the grass is always greener. Thanks for the compliments and welcome to the forum!!!

tks~~
im in China now.

Actually, I must add (if I can say so for a minute), that you guys chatting on this site are seriously hot! Yowie! lol It's great to see all the pics. Keep 'em coming xxx

Lol, get all the way through to the end and end up forgetting the comments to the names... oh yeah...
Gibo I thought your first pic was off a Ricky Martin album or something, honest. Just the black and white and the angle... good photo skillz. (no I'm not gay I just appreciate good photography).

Kazman... You're stoked man! Huge! You got discipline, no doubt about it.

Shinojuly... is it dawn or dusk? I like the picture... looks peaceful. I love being out on the water.

Dea... you are drop dead gorgeous!

Sorry anybody I missed, I had a comment when I looked at your pics but it took awhile to get through them all and I didn't think to write down the names to the comments... i think I got a pic to post somewhere so you can know who I am...
