Just google his name and you will get a lot if info on the man.

Thanks.
Checked his filmography, and not really surprised that I didn't recognise him. But I see that he was once directed by Ed Wood, which obviously is a plus.

I still do not see your point. You mean that a well-trained man looks better than one who is not? I guess that is why people go to gyms.

You really are not missing much if you never visit houston. I'm not native to this area, and will gladly leave when the time is right.

Because of volcanic activity and $2 off coupons, Paleo man actually ate a lot of fried rice.

His favorite, unfortunately, was shrimp fried rice.

You mat not be able to send it back, but you can do a lot with what you have to work with. Granted Steve Reeves is considered to have been one of the most gifted individuals with regards to his genetics. however, getting off your butt and working your body and eating well can go a long way to changing things.

+1. This implies a desire on your part to know about Steve Reeves, whoever the hell he is.

EDIT: Jesus chris, Lou. Do you have a hoard of Steve Reeves memorabilia that you are looking to drum up interest for?

This is simply not true. I'm sick of your lies.

i have seen some amazing physical transformations.
It wasn't good genes that did it, it was hard work and commitment to succeed

How about an aggressive coke habit? Does that do it?

I made an initial comment about how the OP looked in his clothes, and that he looked out of shape, with an old mans body. The point being that you can only hide so much of your physique behind your clothes. With a better frame to hang your clothes on you will look better, and less like an old man. I used Steve Reeves as an example as he was a natural bodybuilder, and not a roided freak.

Looking your best is not just about hanging designer clothes on your frame. Take care of your body and invest time and energy into it, and it will go a long way to improving how you look in everything that you wear. Regarless of how much or how little you spent.

Is this about the merits of a bespoke tie?
