The ridiculous 'necessity' of proof

[DC_DEEP]

Oops. Nevermind. Thought I was on my NIC_160IQ account. :biggrin1:

If NIC weren't such a straight boy, and if I didn't respect him so much, I would have insisted that he show me his cock when he was a guest in my home. I'll take his word for it. And yours.

Fireballs, I don't believe your claim to bright red hair. Post a pic and prove it.

(For all you literalists out there, that was a joke...)

Hehehe. If I had a dime for every time i've been asked if the rug matched the drapes....

No one has called my pics fake. You will likely only be accused of being fake if you have pictures of a pornstar in your gallery or you were messing around with photoshop.

Its just people stating ridiculous sizes, or with sizes in their names/sigs and mentioning it in every post that are a little suspect. Its not hard to take a picture. Even my mobile phone has a camera.

The bottom line is believe what you want to believe. Be silently suspicious too :smile:.

I would never write anything on my penis skin...I would be scared of damaging myself!

There is a lot of lies on the internet. Latest I heard was the guy on wikipedia who said he was a PhD...when he was actually a college dropout. Just use your brain I guess, you get an idea of what's true and what's false by what people say.

I've been watching, displaying photos and occasionally writing here for a number of months and something has begun to bother me... the 'necessity' of a male LPSG member proving his worth by proving his size.
A member posts mentioning his large penis and another member says "Where's your pics? I smell a fake. Fake fake fake... don't feed the trolls..."
How many times have you seen a post where the first reply is "You sound fake," and the original poster replies with, "Well I'm not, and by the way you haven't answered my original question or responded to the topic I'm actually trying to discuss..."
A recent example includes one of Trevor3's posts (in which the suspicious poster continued whining even after photographic 'evidence' was presented) and many others, from first-time posters for goodness' sake!
My own complaint is not against the suspicion itself, but the demands for evidence to sate said suspicions. What happened to the maxim, Don't feed the trolls? If a post is obviously a troll, why not ignore it, why even breathe hot air into the fakery? Instead, we have the penis police jumping at shadows, men who already have a third leg up on the 'competition' who still apparently have something to prove by demanding 'evidence' so that the precious attention from other LPSG members towards their own phallus will not be spread too thin.
Is it not enough to Just point out the truly obvious fakes, and give the rest the benefit of the doubt? This necessity of 'evidence' to prove the poster (often new to the board and in search of a Support Group) innocent, as if he is guilty until proven innocent. Some may say, "We've been fooled before." Of course, it's regrettable, but eventually unavoidable, and you'll be fooled again. Really, is it so important?
Not to mention that jumping the gun on a new member when acting the penis police, to my eyes and likely to others', makes you look like a dick.
I raise this complaint only because as I continue to notice this it interferes with my enjoyment of this community - and of course, obviously, interferes with the welcoming of new large members who are treated with suspicion until they prove their worth to the Napoleonic Penis Police.

(Did you notice that I am a photo-verified member? And why might you have checked for that?)

Oh come on you dont honestly expect anyone to believe you really think that do you?
FAKE

You are just too funny. Next time someone asks you if the rug matches the drapes, just tell 'em you've got hardwood and vertical blinds.

I think each case needs to be dealt with differently. If the guy is blatantly not the unrealistic 17 inches he claims to be then he should be bitched at or ignored.

Some people are insecure about there body, I know I am with people I know in person just not over the internet with strangers. I geuss you can feel insecure over the internet aswell and that should be respected. When you want advice you should be able to get some from the really helpful members of lpsg without being hounded for not having any "evidence" by some of them beforehand.

We should just give our advice in a mature way that can be genuinely used sometimes to make some persons life better, it's not going to harm a faker in the end is it when it might harm the guy with the problem.

Sorry if I'm babbling.

I think that the demands for "photographic proof" are absurd. There are many obvious reasons why some people would not want to post cock pics on the world-wide internet. I've endured a few smart-ass remarks myself, since I don't have pics posted. Considering I've been on LPSG since 2004, only claim ~8.5-9" and have been on a highly discussed penis documentary where my dick is shown flaccid, I find such attacks very humerous.

That said, I think that men claiming sizes larger than the largest documented in human history by the medical community (~13 inches I believe) shouldn't be taken seriously with, or without pictures. Or, they should contact the media and give Mr. Falcon a run for his money. Hell, I can even provide some contacts of interested media outlets.

 

[DC_DEEP]

What I'm trying really hard to understand is this: if you think someone is a fake, why even bother? Why demand proof, why create an exposé thread? If you are wrong, and the person is genuine, then you look like an ass. If you are right, then what have you proven? That you were right? If someone is pitiful enough to lie about their stats or to alter or steal photos, then they deserve your pity, not your ire. Don't give the liars exactly what they want - your attention.

To the liars, fakes, and thieves: why bother? Whether or not someone creates a thread to "out" you or not, most of us know when you are a liar, fake, or thief.

In my mind, posting fake photos and making false claims is the equivalent of cheating to beat an unsuspecting friend at Monopoly. Did you really win?? If so, do you feel proud???

 

[Corius]

I would suggest that if one doesn't tell folks are less likely to ask. I like it that way; I'm no prude but some parts are private--at least that's what I was taught!!

Hahah, or better yet, it's like cheating at a heart-pounding game of solitaire.

There is another approach to this whole problem of needing to see proof or demanding it... just take dozens of pics of your own cock (or titties or whatever part you wish to highlight) and share them here and enjoy the other pics posted of others (men and women) sharing there things too. (or post comments and share a healthy discussion without raising these challenges.) It is better to give than receive (or have too many expectations.) I agree, it is very petty to expect "proof" or whatever. Even the proof is suspect. Most works of art in the museums have very little "proof," the paper documentation for about 90% of these works just isn't very good to begin with.

I'll cash in by just saying I never understood why people want to make rediculous claims about their penis size. ESPECIALLY if they want to meet someone off of the internet. The person you meet is going to see you and your penis. So why lie?

I.know one thing,for guy saying he wants to be an actor or write a book,Jonah Falcon spends allot of time,telling people he has the world's biggest dick.
Ok,maybe there are actors or writer's hung an elephant .But they promote the idea,that they are actors or writers.They promote that.Maybe somewhere they might say,on by the way,I have a big one,tor their partner says he has a big one.But they don't go on talk shows saying " I have I have worlds biggest cock and oh,I writing a book about ------- or I am studying acting at ------.
Just seems a bit weird.

This thread went 11 years without anyone commenting on it. Was it really necessary to start this again just to call Jonah Falcon a fraud? Everyone already knows it.

These are all messages from “pic collectors” they want you to prove it because they want to collect yours too. Sadly they are taking advantage of the well intention of the site to get free porn basically.
