I don't post here much, but I have observed a real phenomenon. For example this bodybuilding.com dude Gable Tostee who has been charged with murdering that girl is a good example of these wierdos on these boards. You know the ones, 40+ year olds bragging about sexual conquests as if they were immature 14 year olds, showing of their drugged up bodies in photos in threads, pics of the girls they dated etc etc. Real mentally backwards types, possible psychos or borderline psychos. The losers in school who always had to show off.
It's really easy to see how these boards attract the "Gable Tostees" of this world.

you observe bodybuilding forums rather than post on them much does that makes you less of a loser? I dont think so.

bodybuilding is a unique type of thing n besides the gym, these boards r the only other place we can discuss the thing we all love n thats training, im not going to go onto a hockey website if im into basketball right? bottom line is theres weird people n normal people on all sites whether its bodybuilding,baseball,hockey,MMA ect

Its bigorexia, the clinical kind that unites us all.
I don't think a normal person would last here very long.
Half of us are depressed miserable we don't look like our heroes, the other half desperately trying to pin their way through to the other side.

That girl fell off the balcony... What a fucked up situation if dude really didn't have anything to do with that (you know... unfortunate accidents happen).

Perhaps there are elements of truth in what you say but also many exceptions, can't make sweeping generalizations either way. Too complex an issue an and too many variety of people from all around the world in different walks of life to consider.
Your first problem (which many people have on internet forums) is that you take the antics and behavior of these people online as gospel truth.
You need to distinguish between online behavior vs real life behavior. 99% of the time they are mostly different.
While forums such as this allow many people to express feelings/behaviors which they have and do in real life in anonymity without fear or ridicule of having to conform to normal societal norms it also allows many people to live in a fantasy world, making up shit or essentially living out their ulterior egos.
Not withstanding above of course there are some real life Patrick Bateman's among us here. Bigmc is one such individual ;)

very good post,very true

Just an illustrative example.
Now most rational, logical human beings and posters would interpret "mwah,xoxo" as tongue in cheek.
To genuine sociopaths like Bigmc (with black and white thinking) it means you have tongue in ass, are 100% bisexual and frequent Madame JoJo's on Brewer Street on a Thursday nights calling yourself Shirley. ::)
Hope this helps
Mwah

Don't you think the biggest issue is that some people can't distinguish the nuances in language and therefore misinterpret things too much? There are wide differences in culture, vocabulary and education on here.
Take you and Shizzo - in many ways you are the same type of shit stirring attention whore (I mean that with no disrespect) but whilst you are clearly an intelligent, cunning and creative European, Shizzo is a product of the substandard US public education system and has the mental capacity and flair of one week dead roadkill.

That was when Falcon hired me for his paint business.
Those were some good times.

You and OP actually inadvertently have touched on a topic which I have been thinking about for a while now, which is:
What makes Getbig what it is? Why are so many people (including myself) so addicted to it and why do certain posters like myself , Shizzo and others have this dying need to attention whore here and can't help it. I know the answer to that question but it's about time you do as well.
I shall explain it to you briefly in 2 parts.
Part 1
Yes clearly there are wide variety of people on here from all walks of life. A multitude of differences exist in language, education, cultural norms, values systems, ideologies, social, religious and class divides amongst other things. More often than not this will inevitably lead to apprehension, misinterpretations, mistrust and misunderstanding between posters and passions are stirred....this is to be expected.
Of course I will point out that there are many people here who understand each other perfectly well yet simply genuinely dislike each other....that is also normal human behavior.
The difference is in real life usually (unless you are an enlightened individual like myself) you tend to associate with similar people as yourself and stay away from people you dislike or have nothing in common with and MUST conform to societal governances and laws. So you have to bite your tongue, even if you don't like it.
Now here of course the anonymity that the internet affords you, along with the fact that this forum is essentially not moderated, gives it that toxic brew of posters being able to disagree, attack opposing factions (who they either dislike or have nothing in common with in real life) in a way and manner in which they would never be able to get away with in real life.
This leads to many ego battles and upmanship's. People trying to "get one over" on the opposing faction and creates a herd like mentality. This is what makes this place so highly brutal, at times vile, yet very entertaining in a macabre way....but yet oh so addictive. Before long you are hooked and you have entered what I call "The Matrix". Getbig at time is essentially like the online version of a prison system.
It's like putting a Jew and a Nazi, a black man with an AKA member, a fat slob against an Olympian, a millionaire against a milkman all in the same cell without a prison officer in sight and watching it explode as one massive sociological experiment....its just enthralling to watch.
Add in the fact the dichotomy that exists between the online world and real life and once you log off from Getbig or what I call the "Matrix" it's as if the world has come to a stand still. It actually feels like a come down at times.
This place is entrenched with sociology its plain intriguing.
I honestly view Getbig as an absolute wonder of modern art.
Some people like to spend millions on a Picasso painting and watch it hang from their walls.
I would much rather look at Getbig and get more insight into the truths and realities of human behavior and sociology.
One day I want this place on my wall and it shall be mine and all mine.

Even as diverse as we are, we all pretty much have similar thought patterns. So many folks here that think like I do.
Last night, I was watching the movie "Sabotage" with Arnold. In the movie at one point Arnie, who is being grilled by an investigator, stands up and says, "get the fuck outta my face with your 48% bodyfat!"
My wife starts laughing hysterically and says, "he sounds just like you!"
Proud to be a GetBigger.

Not sure what this guy is saying, but I think he wants to homosex a lot of Getbaggers..... ;D

Some good, intelligent answers to my OP. Thank you guys. I gratefully accept your validations and also your intelligent alternative suggestions and analysis. It helps broaden my own perspective.
Also, as expected, the weirdos also came out in force to throw lame insults. Guess what you stupid losers, intelligent people are not influence by your girlish insults.

Exactly - what it makes him is an incredibly pathetic little fella. He is so mad at all those losers in high school that would slap him around. They were always talking about their girls because they were losers man. He could have had girls if he wanted them but he wasn't a loser so he stayed away from chicks. The loser hot chicks would pick on his goofy ass anyway so he showed them and instead he played dungeons and dragons with the cool kids - the winners. They would talk about how all those losers that best them up all the time were gonna get it one day!!!

LOL this thread is an interesting psychological study. Makes me feel like I am back in Psych 101 ;D
