Well, bravo I say! It’s always good to come across a place where gay guys are encouraged to look after themselves; to find a website that isn’t just about sex. There is more to being gay than just sex after all. Real Jock is a meeting place, yes, it could be called a ‘hook up’ site in that respect but it’s more than that. It actually about, and for, guys who want to keep fit, and guys who want to meet other guys who are into looking after their bodies and having a healthy lifestyle. I put down my donut and took a closer look at exactly what’s on offer.
First off you have a free registration so anyone can sign up and take a proper look around. But before you do that you might want to see what’s on the tour pages and get a feel for how these things are expanded once you are a member.
The home page lists all the latest news and forum topics and you won’t be surprised, on a fitness site, to find titles such as ‘Ab workout frequency’ and ‘Forearms’ in the latest forum topic list. But it’s not all about workout routines and building muscles as guys have been chatting about scents, their love lives and even more personal matters. There is a list of articles which include subjects such as food nutrition, diets and sexual health. There is also broader news about politics and how it affects gay men. This was USA based when I was touring around but the site is aimed at a global market. You can see this from the list of locations from which the membership is drawn. The home page lists USA states but when you click the ‘more locations’ link you have a list of worldwide countries, plus there are guys listed by interest too.
Of course you have the chance to build your profile when you are signed up and this can include videos. There are some samples on the tour and these included professional clips and members’ homemade shorts; some sexual, many erotic and many simply about showing off fit bodies. You start to collect buddies as you go and, in the manner of many networking and community sites, you get to see images of these buddies and you can let other people into your collection of personal photos too. The more you put into your profile the more you will get out of the site so when you sign and join be honest, otherwise you won’t find the kind of guy you’re looking for.
But you get the impression that Real Jock isn’t just about hooking up and meeting other gay guys. There is plenty of discussion about all aspects of gay men’s lives, their health and fitness in particular and this is a place where you can get helpful and interesting information. You can of course have some intimate and sexy chats and send messages to fit looking guys too and I guess it’s up to you how you use the site in that respect.
Finally you’ll want to know how popular the site is; after all you don’t want to be the only one in there. Well, a quick check of the forum posts is usually a good indicator of a site’s popularity and there were thousands of posts here. Topics covered events, sports, fitness, dating, sex, sports and nutrition. A good mix of subjects which reflects the fact that Real Jock really is about keeping fit, but it is also about meeting other gay guys who care about their bodies and their lifestyles, and improving your personal life as well as your body as you go.
