I post a lot on another forum unrelated to bodybuilding. Both of them have a lot of testosterone involved. Last September a few dozen guys from that forum from all across the country got together in Alabama for a 3 day hunt, fish, bbq, shoot, drink party. It's happening again this September. I didn't go last year, but I mailed several dozen of my advertising calendars of scantily clad women to be given out to all the people in attendance.
Would you go halfway across the country to party with a bunch of people you have never met in person?

Maybe - depends on too many things of course.
A lot of the people on this forum seem to be from the UK and elsewhere in Europe, anyway. I'm probably the only regular poster here besides you who isn't from the coast in the US, if I had to guess.Bench: 350

Makes you think they themselves can't find a good woman and just enjoy a normal relationship.
The biggest eye roll to me there is the self-proclaimed intellectualism proffering some kind of worldview paradigm shift (replete with the proverbial sand kicked in the face of all the losers who don't already know, of course), which turns out to amount to nothing more than some kind of a podcast headline they heard 20 minutes ago and whose own argument they will be unable to summarize a week later.
It's like, do you not realize that many of the people on this forum went to college, have professional careers, some kind of unique skill, life wisdom of their own, etc.,?Bench: 350

depends on the forum, what we had in common, and what the meet was all about.
This sort of thing happens all the time on car/truck and motorcycle forums.AP7 Crew

I’ve done a misc meetup in like 2012 in San Diego
Then I’ve traveled and knew people from forums that lived/or went to the music festivals where I was visiting and meet up like EDC
Misc nutrition meet up I’d totally go to lol south cali would probably be the easiest location unless we did like the Olympian or the Arnold, that would be cool. It would be cool to do a work out session together also.Last edited by snailsrus; 06-16-2021 at 02:38 PM.

I am a massive nerd and always was, nothing to be ashamed of.
What bothers me way more is the comments other people give when you cut as a natty. "You look like Adrien Brody in the pianist".
They used to say "you look like a biker", "you look strong", "you look like you drink your milk" etc, and "can you open my bottle of water?"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.
