i always found it ironic that all the fitness chicks are upfront about who the yare yet most people guys insist on remaining anonymous .... (which is prolly why they turned to bodybuilding in the first place, being cowards and all)
i wouldnt want me ol parents number/work number posted cause i know it would be called a few thousand times ... other than that i never had any issue saying im james simon, 26, toronto (the sexy stud in my pic) and i train at venice ... so far i havent had any autograph seekers
Good post.
Fitness/Figure girls tend to put their real names as their screen handle because they first of all...NEVER EVER get involved with drama and they are ON to simply market themselves to promote their 'careers'.
240 and I know all to well that it is EASY to find out who someone is and we also know how small these cirlces are and how much smaller this industry is.
Industry people know who is behind 'TheBlockHead' character as well as a handful on here...I don't mind but if I can go back and do it over again...I would have kept tighter clamp on my identity 'Sarcasm' style.
Funny thing is...I went to a local show here in Chicagoland a few months back and I was recognized by two 'fanboys' who READ this board all day long every day but don't post.
"...dude it IS him...hey man...are you BlockHead from getbig? DOOD...I fkn TOLD YOU! Dude...you're the MAN! Dood...you fkn hilarious...is it true that you and Dante got into a fistfight at the Arnold? No? Oh...hey man so I thought you were black....dude hey so who's that guy True Adonis? Do you know him? Awww man this is awesome...let me take a picture of you on my camera phone...my girlfriend thinks you're funny to...cool...hey so you are pretty big...that picture you looked small...cool..."
My inside sources tell me I MUST turn over a new leaf 240-style and 'reinvent' my character...."or els".
