Need an ID

[growingbigger]

I have a guy contacting me who has sent me a limited group of pictures, but of course he can't get on a video cam himself (he has seen me) and doesn't have access to either a digital camera, and he also doesn't have a phone capable of taking any pictures.

Can anyone tell me if they have seen this guy before or ID him? I'm suspecting he is just using this guy's images.

You really are very naive - for one, the pic is morphed. Don't know the guy's name but the pics have been available for a year or two on the net, unmorphed.

I don't believe I am naive as I already suspected the photos didn't belong to him, and the guy in the picture really is that size, he is not morphed. This guy is using these photos trying to pass them off as photos of himself, but I like to have backup before I confront anyone. I've been trying to see if I can find anyone who has seen these pictures before and knows who the guy is.

Here's another pic, and it is clearly not morphed.

Neither of those pics are morphed.

That's Eric Barrenger. He's a 20 year old bodybuilder from Michigan.

He also has some of the most amazing natural muscle mass I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure he's one of those few guys who have genetically more muscle fibres than other people. Wish I could have arms like his.

Yep, Eric Barrenger, and not morphed, just posed a little oddly. There's plenty of pics of him around - what I'd do is find one the guy doesn't have and send it to him saying he looked really good in this pic or this competition etc., see if he keeps it up

Excellent idea!

And thanks for the ID, Drew!

You sir, are brilliant!

We should put you in charge of negotiations with some foreign country that is trying to hose us.

Funny story, I had a guy chat me up out of the blue on gay.com a few years ago (when people actually used that site). He started chatting and I was basically just being polite and humoring him while I chatted with a friend. Anyway, he keeps going on about how hot he is and everything and eventually offers to send a pic.

He does.

It's me.

Literally, he sent me a photo of ME. It was actually one from my gallery on that site (you think he would have remembered where he got it). I asked him if he had another and sure enough he had one or two more from my gallery.

I called him out and said that I didn't believe those were him. He of course got all "offended" and defended the fact that those were him and all that. After I played with him for a sec and then shared the conversation with EVERYONE else I know who was online, I precisely described every single thing in one of the pics down to the size and brand of the shirt and the cropped remainder of the street sign. After his wtf, I told him he was an idiot and that he should have at least checked to make sure it wasn't the person he stole the pics from before pretending to be someone he wasn't.

In all fairness to the guy though, I did agree that the guy in the pic was indeed hot

That is so funny but also a compliment that you're worth using

[growingbigger]

Wow, that is awesomely funny! Would have been classic to have seen his face to find out he was talking with the person whose photos he was using.

Drew, while what the guy did was skanky and despicable, think about why he did it and be honored. You are, after all, a handsome hottie, and I can see why a guy insecure about his own looks would lift your pic in the hopes of attracting someone. Still, it's sucky.

[inm]

Drew, that's a funny story! but you do realize now, we need to see the gallery, to judge for ourselves if your self-assessment is true

[drew]

Awww thanks guys

imn I have no idea if those pics even still exist these days. At some point this fall I need to do some new pics in general. I am sooo bad about never taking pics of myself, bodybuilding wise or even life in general.

[hulkoutlvr]

You should be better about it. You're extremely handsome We'd love to see more of you.
