I do wonder what people think of me, only because I try to be the best person I can be, but to me that means absolutely nothing unless I help those around me. I don’t know how people view me, but I would like to be the person that you can always go to that will put a smile on your face, but also a kick in the ass if you need it.
I want to be the light in the darkness.
and
I want Lanky to be my friend. =([/quote]

You think of me regularly. I know you do. [/quote]
Only when I’m banging Lanky and he’s just layin’ there too tired from bringing up baby to put any effort into it.[/quote]
All I got from this post was how much better in the sack I am than FI, as long as I’m putting forth the effort. Does that about sum it up?!?!

Wait… that IS you in your avatar, right?
Please don’t ruin this for me… like Lanky once did.
lol
I do whatever I can to make my presence appreciated in any setting…when I die, I want to be viewed as the voice of reason, the guy that would always take time out of his day to help talk people through their problems, or just give them a sympathetic ear. I also want people to look at me as the guy they can count on, and brightens up their day, at work or just having fun hanging out.

Dude! You’d be hard pressed to find someone on these boards that looks more like Bobby Saget than me, I’m sure of it!
“I do my best to spread maximum butthurtness”
-AdvancedTS
I used to worry a lot about how other people saw me. Yes it makes me quite sensitive but also empathetic (traits which I still have). I found that being too sensitive hurt my chances to advance my career, manage my time and in the end be a better person.
I do care how I am perceived by people I care for. So I keep very few friends. If I respect you, then I care what you think about me, because I think you have my best interest in mind. On the same token I won’t hesitate to go to extreme lengths to help the people I care for or respect. Even if that means doing difficult things for them (which doesn’t work all the time, because you need to let people live and grow from experience, their own experience).
People see me as knowledgeable, having a superb memory, set in my ways, strict and stern when I don’t smile this makes me unapproachable sometimes (but I’m not unapproachable I just keep to myself a lot). They see me as a friend who gives good advice and good humour. They see me as someone who has trouble handling stress levels, so I work on managing this daily. I’ve reduced my emotional responses to things, so I don’t get dragged into conflicts (be they online or offline). Some friends (women) do come to me for advice on relationships. It seems strange that a guy who had only one steady girlfriend that he ended up marrying gives advice on relationships, but I guess this means he’s a guy that can be trusted and gives advice from both points of view (strategic).
I have been a weirdo all my life, now I am a buff weirdo.
I don’t like the little attention I get from my muscles.
If you’re the person who asks this question, you probably don’t need to think about it. The people who need to change are the people who don’t pose this questions to themselves.
If you have good intentions then people will always be glad to see you.

I know, it can be very confusing. For a while I thought you were a hamburger with boobs.
The world views you as you view yourself. Simple as that.
talk about a loaded question, V!
I think you are one of the coolest cats on this site.
I think the majority of T-Nation is someone I’d, at the very least, want to have beer with.
As for how others perceive me, it depends on the context and the role. If you are my client in business or mortgage then I am perceived as a professional you’re glad to have on your team (unless your loan gets denied ! LOL). If you are one of my strategic alliances, you know I throw a hell of a networking party and if I get a referral I’ll always make you come out smelling like a rose - even if you fuck something up, I’ll take it on the chin to protect your relationship with your client. I also try to make sure you don’t fuck something up, so you like having me involved in your transactions because I am proactive and anticipate problems and correct them before it’s an issue.
My inner circle of friends know they can call me in the middle of the night and I’ll help them bury a body.
My outer circle of friends find me entertaining and fun to have around.
My acquaintances respect me for the most part and tend to either feel threatened by me, or want to get closer to me for what ever reason.
The women in my life view me as a sexual god, fun to hang out with and someone who gives good advice with out an ulterior motive.
My enemies regret the day they crossed me. I make sure to crush them as completely as I can (within reason).
The older generation of my extended family have pretty much written me off since I went to prison. I have a horrible relationship with my mother who, in her alcoholic rages, has actually called me by my father’s name at times when we argue (she’s on husband #4 now - a string of abusive bastards). I try to have as little contact with her as possible. I have a good relationship with my father, but not his wife, so that limits my time with him.
My father’s generation of extended family and I are on great terms - I’ve done most of their mortgages and we kick each other clients for our various businesses and we all sail together and work on boats and maintain my family’s estate together. The younger generation thinks I’m the cool uncle who they go to for shit they can’t ask their dads.
My children love me and respect me. My eldest son actually chose me as his Hero for a class project (in his class I was the only dad chosen)
And as for the T-Nation community y’all either like me and find what I contribute valuable, or you hate me and think I’m a douchebag and full of shit and morally bankrupt - The “fuck angry chicken” bandwagon is alive and well… a fact that amuses me to no end 
It’s kinda cool that in the past few months, I’ve actually started to make contact with members of the 'nation and am developing some new friendships that I think are really cool. I really do like most of you.

Dude, if ONE PERSON counts as a bandwagon then one really ought to question the rest of your self-perceptions there, lol. Seriously, you do have a flair for the dramatic. And goodness, you really are easily shaken. Relax already!

This is the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard.
Some people see me as an inspiration, others, as an embarrassment. I think most people view me as an eccentric and are just a little bit afraid of me.

In other words… PERFECT.
