I just wanted to preface this by saying that I'm not looking for sympathy or messages of support, nor am I calling out anyone in particular... I'm simply using this as an outlet and hopefully to make a few of you feel seen.

Over the past few years, I've been feeling like I don't really fit into this site anymore. A lot of it stems from body image issues; I don't have the six pack, nor a lean body. I'm not comfortable in front of a camera (as majority of people want to film/photo their matches now), nor can I travel hours and hours. Most of the times being rejected or ignored doesn't affect me at all, but sometimes it's wearing, and I'm aware that to others it may not be so easy to brush off.

Now, I'm not saying that everyone has to reply to everyone, because I'm certainly not entitled to anyone's time just because they're on this site, and vice versa. Whenever I do feel like I'm against the ropes (pun intended) I have to remind myself: Your worth doesn't stem from how you look in the mirror, or how many people like you - it stems from how much you like you, and how much you continue to work on yourself, because you're awesome.

If anyone else can relate to the above, I hope you take some time away with yourself, and truly look in the mirror to see all the positives you have to offer. This site is just for a bit of fun, for building a community and hopefully getting to meet people with similar interests. If someone is not interested in you, or is acting like an absolute d-hole, make sure you get your shoulder off the mat before the 3rd count and carry on at it!

Take care of yourself, lads and I hope you all have a great time out there!
