Ok, so I get it... Social Media is fake and I'm ok with that.. we're fixing our fucking Instagram to project status. But where to draw the line? AI has got some incredible capabilities now.. Check this out as an example: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUGSI4EjVmP/?igsh=ZXRlenh6MWcyN2Zi Would you use AI generated content to project status?

Does anyone have any advice on gym fashion particularly for if I'm looking to get lifestyle/ B roll shots and videos. My physique isn't at a point to be showing a 6 pack.. quite the opposite. I'm in ok-ish shape. Well, not really, but shitloads better than 4 years ago when I was 15kg heavier https://www.instagram.com/ironworksgymnasium Is where I go.. industrial feel, red and black feature a lot so I'm thinking should I think on what colours I wear so I'm not camouflaged in any pictures and that will be a good colour match? Also advice on camera angles or any movements that work well for photos? I'm thinking from the general guidance on poses.. walking, standing etc maybe walking with some decent size dumbells could work as a shot? Does anyone have some good examples of these sort of photos done well? Thanks

So I'm taking more action now. Need to figure out how and where to get some seriously good photos for my IG but woul like any feedback on any of these as just something to add today... And yes those are actually fava beans in the hat/chianti photo https://www.instagram.com/matthew_porter_barnett/ Is my IG right now. Any feedback on that will also be taken like a man, so don't hold back. I want to add thing that help me, not hurt me 😀

So I'm at a point in life, at 52 years of age, where I really don't give much of a fuck what anyone else thinks of me. I'm starting a new chapter in my life and want to create something epic for myself. I've been holding back a bit on fixing my IG since joining MOA in October 2025 because I'm married and I did give a fuck what my wife thought. We're seperated and while I would rather we sorted things out, I'm at the point where it doesn't look like we will turn this around. Also, she's blocked me on IG, so it really doesn't matter what I have on there now! Back in October I had a 10ish year old insta with 2 photos of my kids on it from 10 years ago. This what I now have https://www.instagram.com/matthew_porter_barnett/ Not there yet with it, like I say I've been holding back. Happy to take any feedback or criticism... A question though.. who else is in the UK? Is there anyone who would be interested in working together on getting photos sorted for each other and helping each other on this journey?

Hey guys. I’m to the situation where I floated the idea of doing something plutonic with an attractive female friend tonight. Since then I kind of forgot and now have a date. Do I tell her I’ve got a date? Not really sure how explicit we should be with female friends / teammates that could in future be an option… this is time sensitive haha
