One thing first though I don't see this place as rude, but as probably the most welcoming place/online community I have ever encountered on the net.
And I think 95%+ of the members and posters (and lurkers) here would agree with me!
Anyway, on to my long overdue comments on the fantastic (and helpful) responses I received** for my 37 months progress pictures (now about halfway down the board-its been very busy lately eh!).
** e.g. "good progress for 37 months"; "for just 3 years and one month of growth, you'll be happy to know that your length is approximately about as long as my length was at the 4-year mark"; "You're well on your way to waist length. Just about a year to go I think"; "You are right on target for 37 months!"; "And that looks like great progress for 37 months of growth!"; "It appears to me that your hair is growing at least average speed (maybe a little over)"; "I think your hair grows normal to slightly fast"; "I think your growth rate is average"
Overall very reassuring. Oh well, I guess I'm still young as I'm only turning 23 this April 13 & I'll get to lower back/waist length soon enough :-)
Urban Cowboy: Ken what an amazing message! Thanks to it I feel 10 feet tall where before I only felt 8!! & bringing in the mythological figures is greatly appreciated (I’ve always loved that stuff, since I was a little kid in fact). But hey if it’s any consolation to you, you’re probably much fitter than me due to all that dancing that you do!
Thanks again :-)!!!
Grrrr: Believe me no longer how long your hair gets, your level of satisfaction is always going to be dependant upon what your goal length is. If you don’t know what you are going for, or just taking it as it comes, or growing your hair for the first time generally, then every day is an ‘adventure’ in a way in terms of your, but otherwise…I want more baby!
CeReBralASsasSin: Training since I was 15, but ‘properly’ (i.e. consistency, utilising the principles of bodybuilding and scientific consensus’ on how to best train, proper form and nutrition, taking Protein supplementation and as of last month Creatine too) since January 2004. i.e 1 month before this, my 2nd time growing!
Keep at it Jacob and you will be far from skin and bones (ectomorphs can get big too!) , but the most important thing is that you stay healthy (and don’t go down the dark path of steroids and Human Grwoth Hormone etc.)
Pablo: Thanks mate. Can’t wait for the Academy, I’ve got 9 months to get ready for it, so when the time comes… !!!
(Btw, my confirmation arrived a couple days ago that my payment had gotten there safe n’ sound, so now I’m fully confirmed and booked in!)
SOADdude: I may start off a jobber if I was ever going to pursue wrestling in the States, but seeing as I’ll probably do it here in Oz I’m aiming in the end (assuming I do it) to be far higher than that! Thanks for the good wishes re my training.
Bragi: Very busy with uni etc etc here in Oz, but generally yes, things are going well. As for the gym-time, there are so many benefits past the aesthetic but I definitely can’t disagree with what you’re saying! :)
Mouse: Always loving hearing that from the ladies! Lol Seriously though thank you very much my dear and I’m very proud of you for wearing your first ponytail recently, Looking good yourself!
Nuttidave: I’m not sure exactly who it’s gonna be… but I will ‘knock ‘em dead’ Dave. Thanks Matey!
DavidN: Great to have you on the team with us David and just by the way, your hair is very straight so every inch of length that you get will be very apparent (unlike me!).
Justin: Well, while I’m not sure that I’ll be at waist length in a year (except perhaps in my dreams!) positive reinforcement is always a good thing and you are always there to give me plenty of it, so thanks again for that bud, much appreciated.
FireInTheSky: Thanks man, although I wouldn’t say I’m ‘ripped’ at the moment (Must…do…more….cardio) & I will keep it growing.
Erik Anders: I know!!!
Luckskind: Thanks for the reassuring words, especially comig from someone who is vey well acquainted with the path. Praise from Caesar indeed!
Walter: THANKS!!!
Chris_H: Thanks Chris, although hopefully with better continued care, it can become ‘tremendous’ looking hair.
Oren: Thanks Oren, and again your facial hair is just beyond belief! (i.e. it is amazing!)
Axel: Don’t worry, you’ll get an invite to the wedding (LOL)!
Tune463: Ms. Portman is comin’ home with me Jack!
Hahaha Im Flattered Dean !
Axel
You're welcome, --- although if you're now 10 feet tall, ya gotta watch out so as to not bump yer head on the doorway!
You're wrong about me being fit, though (although I USED to be). As an example of one of my favorite back-handed compliments I got after a dance exhibition I did with a friend one time, someone from the audience came up to me and said, "WOW, you are the most graceful over-weight man I have ever seen!"
... To which I replied: "Uh, thanks... i THINK (lol)!!"
