Trust me, if you're like most Americans, even our "poor"...hell, even our HOMELESS Americans have it better than truly poor people in other countries. Many of them don't have the systems in place to turn to that we do. You're never as poor as you think you are. If you have it in you mentally and truly have the desire to change your life you usually can. Very few Americans anyway, are truly born into completely hopeless situations. I remember getting into a quasi argument on one of these forums a few years back with some guy. He was "broke", but he just refused to believe he could improve his life. He also had the time to sit on his ass a few hours a day on a PE forum...talk about being productive. I gave him suggestions and ideas on what he could do...a different easy to get into job, for example. Everything I suggested was supposedly too hard, below him in some way, or he'd supposedly already tried it.

Me personally, I'm a damn survivor and I will do whatever I have to do to get to where I want/need to. I've been over my head in debt, about to lose the roof over my head. I hurried up and got a damn job waiting tables. Once I got into my grove at that job I went and got a second job. I would literally get up at 3 in the morning, go work the first job for 8-10 hours, go home and shower, go work the other job...get home around 12-1 in the morning sleep for 3-4 hours and repeat it all over the next day. Did that for over a year, but I got myself out of $40,000 in debt really damn fast. Thing is, I know there are likely some brothers here who have had it even worse than me. Too many people are just lazy and too willing to give up on themselves, or expect a handout, or an "easy" fix.

Same here and I completely agree with you, most people in the US have no idea on how bad some of the other parts of the world have it. When I made MOS my main job I knew I was going to have to sacrifice some of the luxuries in life I was used to when I worked for my family. There have been some hard times along the way, there have been months when I would have to choose between paying the server bill or rent. I have skipped many meals and suffered for the cause. What I try to keep in mind is that I get to do what I love for living and that is what matter most. I have had some good times and in the times when things are good I put money away for the rainy days. I have to say that I feel blessed to have been in business for 13 years and have a job I love to go to everyday. If it means sacrifice sometimes, so be it, as you said, others have it much worse.

I'm afraid of the time, when PE will be really well known. There will be so much pressure on every man to work his dick to at least 8 inches...
those who can not reach that for whatever reason will be considered really short plus not willing to work on themselves enough.

I fear this also

Nothing to fear. 90% of the men in the world do not have what it takes to make PR work for themselves. That 10% will remain solid, most men are lazy in general.

Guess it's the same with the gym really! If it was easy everyone would do it!

Almost exactly the same but men believe in body building more than they do PE. PE takes many things to be successful and one of them is believe; Believing in what you are doing will allow the gains to come. It takes consistency even when gains are being stubborn. It takes determination to get to the next goal and allowing that to inspire the next. It takes keeping up with what the latest methods are and incorporating those into your routine. It takes a very special kind of man to be a true Brother!

I'm thankful for whatever/whoever has directed me in the paths I've taken throughout my life...looking back, it seems more random than it actually was. Fortunately, for me at least, that I truly enjoy what I do for work and the struggles/sacrifices/work are more like challenges. I look at PE similarly where the end-result is far less important than the journey...recognizing this creates a mind-set that is more consistent and less apt for frustration cuz the result is secondary.
So my sincerest 'thank you' to you, Mike for all the sacrifices you've made for me...you have made a profound positive difference in my life

My lame attempt at self-deprecating humor. If there's anything that I've said or done to help, I'm sincerely thankful that I had positive impact. I've received so much from everyone here, I'm just happy I have something to contribute to the cause...

You need to start realizing that 1.5 inch girth gain is huge, 7inch girth is huge, and you have more gains to come!
 
Thanks bro...it seems that you're one of my motivators too. I've found that the more active I am on this site, the more I believe in what I'm doing, (probably an obvious byproduct)
I have another measuring day coming-up...wish me luck
