Two things he has over me even when I had a body like that. Well, two that I know of - probably a lot more. ha!
1 - I did and image search on that pic and it led me to his free hug youtube video. He's an fitness instructor in London, so he has the whole sexy British accent thing. Here's the video link.
2. They are not used to seeing guys like that with their shirts off in London, especially not ones who aren't so white it's blinding. ha! I live in sunny LA, land of actors, models, and way too many beautiful people to ever feel like anything but a small fish in a huge pond even when you look like him. You have to be OK with that to live here and I think it's one reason some people hate LA. I consider eye candy a perk! ha!
I was at the gym last week and the two guys working out together right next to me were these two Andrew Christian models. If you don't know, Andrew Christian is a VERY popular line of men's underwear with a huge gay following.
I have actually seen them several times there but just put two and two together when I saw them together this last time. It's very difficult to feel good about oneself or my progress standing next to these two young guys. LOL
My gym is in Hollywood with a lot of studios nearby and on any given day I see at least a half dozen jaw droppingly good looking guys there, and have heard the talk about their "shoots" or auditions, so I'm sure they are trying to break into the industry and consider working out part of their job. In any other city they'd stop traffic, but here there are just so many. Again, I consider it a perk (ha!) but next to them I've accepted that I'm the fat ugly old guy. LOL
Okay, I'm shallow so I looked at the underwear first. That one style that's jockstrap mated with a thong... it's comfortable?!? and why not just go commando for all the coverage it gives? It's the 'dainty lacy nightgown that's scratchy but looks sexy' concept, isn't it?
Bronzed and shiny gets old enmass. Contrast people. Even the underwear is too much alike. In that one set.
Why Why Why is underwear that sags to half way down your thighs sexy?
*GRINS* Love the black winged angels. I see that they are selling tents and Trophy Boy hats too. *snickers* Of course that's what I was looking at. Thank you.
You are not; fat, ugly, or old; and perfection can seem untouchable and boring in large quantities. You are real and you really don't need me to tell you all that.
That fitness trainer guy in London ... good placement and marketing. Psssst - Aussie is the in accent right now. Might not always understand them but they're nice to listen to.
Yes, some of that Andrew Christian stuff is a little weird and looks less than comfortable, but I'm not sure certain pairs were meant to be comfortable any more than women's heels. I don't know how women wear those things, and they will wear heels that are totally uncomfortable if they think they look sexy. I know some guys who think jocks are really sexy, but I've never thought they were comfortable or sexy. The only time I ever wore one was when I was required to for junior high gym class, and I have no idea why they required them. I think they were invented as mild torture devices. ha!
*grins* Training bras are to adult bras as Middle School jockstraps are to High School and professional jockstraps where you put the cup inside to give more supposed protection to that part of your anatomy.
Bras are 'supposed' to prevent you from sagging. *laughs* There again is a cup and the size of the cup a person needs says something about how much sagging once you're no longer wearing that bra. Bras are like high heels, once you take them off you're back to how you really are or worse because the foot has to remember where the bones are supposed to be naturally.
Oh, I forgot about bras, but those too. Jocks don't really give you any protection though that I can remember. It just uncomfortably smashes everything in, but if you get hit there, it's the same result. I remember an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine says to Jerry, I don't know how you guys walk around with those things between your legs. I laughed because I could see how women might wonder about that, but I thought about how women have to walk around with their chest strapped up. How comfortable could that be? And then the heels, and all kinds of purses to go with them? No thanks. Let's not even get into make-up. Many times I've thanked my lucky stars I was born a male so I didn't have to deal with all that. LOL

And this is all more information than you wanted.
Thank you for the link. *grins*
