BOXING RANT XIX: The Fake Boxer II or Too Good to be True
So, the other day I came across a profile on here and it IMMEDIATELY got my attention. I mean, this dude checked off ALL the Boxes. Handsome, Muscular, nice pics of him in boxing gear and he knew how to hold his hands making me think he was a legit fighter that he could give me a decent if not good fight. Dude was a TOTAL Stud! I HAD TO FIGHT HIM! We were close in height but he outweighed me so hopefully my skills could more than make up for the difference.
BUT! Something seemed off about the profile. You know that feeling you get when a prize or thing is just Too Good to be True and you’re waiting for that other shoe to drop to discover the real prize behind it all. AND that’s when I went over his profile with a fine tooth comb. My FIRST Alarm was seeing that he had NO Past fights. SECOND, he had NO past recommendations. “Wait… What?” How is a prize like this guy on MeetFighters, living in a major metropolitan city and he hasn’t met up with anyone. Boxing wasn’t his only interest. He was into Wrestling and MMA as well and THAT’S when the Red Flags screamed at me. This profile was DEFINITELY Fake!
WTF guys? Are we REALLY still doing this in 2022? Did the 90’s and early 2000’s teach us Nothing?! What’s the point? Or are you one of those guys that gets his rocks off creating fake profiles to see how many unsuspecting people come by to check it out and send messages that you’ll NEVER reply to. And believe me, I’ve heard of some strange kinks, but that’s just a sorry one. You need to seek counseling and GET A LIFE!! So yeah, I’m throwing some hate back at ya. But not because I fell for your BS, but for all the future young upcoming studs that you’ll screw over with your pathetic shit. Congrats you’ve run off another potential Legit Boxer that probably idolizes the image you’ve posted on your site and he wants to be like you. But now that you’ve selfishly ignored him and brushed him off to get your jollies off he’s dissuaded and may not trust other profiles he comes across. Way to welcome new members into our small community and increase the numbers…. NOT!
I KNOW you’ll NEVER step one foot in the ring with me, but KNOW that you’ve made an enemy this day and I WILL FUCKING Destroy you if the opportunity ever comes.
Stepping down off my Soap Box now.

12/04/2022 1:57 AMUmm. I haven't posted any blogs or replied to many lately but I had to get in on a piece of this. I agree that there are total fakes who post profiles of what they are into but never Pursue or even act it out in reality.
There are two other types of profiles to consider.
(1) Serious boxers, and wrestlers who have had some training and professional experience, and seek others on that level of expertise. I assume this is prefured.
(2)
Novice boxers and wrestlers who enjoy it for fun, sport or fetish.
As far as The profile image goes,
anyone with a little creativity can create a profile image that looks good and works.
That part is what it is. Hollywood with smoke and mirrors.
If someone enjoys it as a fetish they might emulate, the characteristics of that fetish that turns them on, through their pose or profile image.
All of that said. If you were impressed by their profile image that's one thing.
If they made claims that they were a boxer on your skill level and were not , then yes that's fake.
In defense of those with few recomendations. I will say that I understand recommendations. I used them as a gage when I first joined.
Some people prefer to have quality matches with one or a few people. Some are having action outside of this site or not even posting who they have a match with as recommendation's are not relevant or important to them. When I joined this site I decided to try and have a match with at least one good oponnent who already had a long list of recommendations. That recommendation was worth a thousand matches. Why go through a dozen fakes and disappointments when you can have a few good ones from the most stellar members? I do agree that ones with 0, I am cautious or pass up. Keep in mind too That this type of hook- upsight, is not as easy as linking on a date sight. It's in a catagory of kink, fetish, S& M, or other. That alone opens up a catagory of dangerouse and insane sex or activity.. Some Newbie' s surely have that on their minds. We want what we want, but in this case proceed with caution. That said. Yes . maby some do need thearapy to get up the nerve to navigate this territory. There is no shame in that. I see a therapist once a week. Not to deal with my issues here but to deal with this crazy Fk up world I have to live in.
Most of those with no action are not pretetending or faking. The distance issue and process in navigating this unique situation is not easy for many. All of this is not to say that the particular profile you viewed wasn't a fake, it is just a defence for those who are not as fortunate to achieve their goals.

Thanks Andi. But that response deserved a Blog of its own. The multiple aspects alone should be open for everyone on this site to comment on. I am, by no means targeting or calling out those in the middle of the road. But surely you can see that those, quote less unquote accomplished fighters could be led in by dubious profile as well. You/They should be angered as well.

oooff that felt like a gutpunch.Boxer Daddy, sorry about the long winded response. I got carried away because I identify with certain aspects of your potential opponent.
Your criticisms are valad, and I have heard them from others on here. Just wanted to air the other side of certain points.
