## Yes, your majesty. Your new look is undoubtedly commanding.
### if i'm wrong, then you should probably has used the "funny" tag

I am astounded at your self-disciple, it could not have been easy to undertake such a demanding task in the face of conventional wisdom. It is with profound astonishment that I recognize the inherent intellectual depth of mind required to perceive that going beyond the body type so frequently pushed on us by an exploitative media is the true road to success and happiness. May your stately good looks, evident self-confidence, and comfortable armchair, be an inspiration to all future generations of success seeking the men.

The progressive and obvious growth of your presence is palpable throughout the entire post.

I love the self-denial, allowing the young new shoots to find their place in their new environment. though the pace was gruelling, the patience centupled the rewards: Unshaken confidence marked now the dawn of a new king of his own domain. Hail all, @onceuponatime!

All for one and one for all!    Namaste   ;)

It was a very wise choice to loose the dress!

Honestly, I have seen a number of pictures of you, and these are the best I've seen. You look younger in your face. Could it be lighting? Camera? Angle? Perhaps, but I don't think so. I think it's your attitude showing through!

It's utterly amazing.

It reminds me of a statue I seen in Washington DC once.

Your pose is much better though, obvisously.

haha this is great ;))))

The natural beauty of your training session surroundings must have infused your very soul as you metamorphasized from an already impressive specimen of a man into the stately god-like King that you have most obviously become.

Your legs, like two strong cedars from the great Canadian Forest seem to be anchored into a solid, Rocky Mountainesque, boulderly mid section.

All of this provides a perfect frame as it draws the eye upward to a face with the manly beauty of wild flowers in an unending field of dreams.

Hmmm, I tend to look at facial expressions like I was going to use it to sell a product.

This one just screams enjoyment, like when you just got down from a skydive.

I'd say we need a slogan to go with it.

<h2><em>It's okay Mom, I have lots of underwear..</em></h2>

#### *I saw a majestic sight once*
#### *A man on a fine chair*
#### *A kingly gaze defined him*
#### *He had a certain kind of flair*
#### *His straightened back and determined gaze*
#### *Made us gasp -* ***so debonair!***

Well, I reckon you might have been able to pull it off if you had sat under a rose-apple tree for a bit. A long bit :)

Good effort though...

I too once thought about changing things up and getting a job at the furniture store. You've obviously done your research and put in the time.  I'm confident you'll make a great chair salesman.

I am sure that without your rigorous training you would have *never* been able to successfully pull it off. Though I do not think that you were in need of an image upgrade, you have chosen wisely and set a great example for all of those here in the steemit community. I can also see the look of confidence *dripping* off of you and once you placed the photos next to eachother, it *almost*looks like that other **dude** is emulating you, @onceuponatime.
