Michael's Manhood Thread - 18+ (Read The First Post For Rules!)

Aaaaaawwww. I didn't mean to make you cry. xxxxx Loving Michael is definitely an all-consuming, all day, every day experience. He is a way of life. It's not easy and it's not for the faint hearted. It's for the BRAVE. It's for those who are open, emotionally. When you open your eyes and your heart, then his heart speaks directly to yours. He was a force of nature. I have always felt that way. Even now that he is no longer with us, he still speaks to us; through his music, through his words, his deeds and through the legacy that he left behind for all of us.

Ok, he just looks too fucking sexy…
 
Ladies! I forgot to mention (not that anyone is wondering about this) but I’m traveling the next week… my mom just retired and my semester just ended, so we are taking a mother/daughter trip to Maine (we are in the US for those who don’t know) and so I’m going to be on here a little less. Again, I’m sure no one cares lol but I felt the need to share this since I am normally blowing up this thread every 30 seconds with all my dramatics!

I’ll be honest… today was a full travel day so about 8-9 hours of driving, so I wasn’t checking here much (except for a brief period of time spent in the chat during a traffic jam, but don’t worry, I’m not the one driving anyway…) and I actually MISSED Michael. Like, how? Why? Idk. But I missed him! Now that the semester is over, most of my work is on the computer so most days it’s easy for me to check in on here and freak out about him whenever I please, or watch videos here and there, etc but no time for that today! It was devastating lol. But also… do I have a problem? Is this an addiction in need of intervention? Does anyone else experience this on days when you don’t have time to watch any content or discuss him? Please tell me I’m not just a hopeless psycho… I mean, I could live with that, but I’d rather not be the only hopeless psycho in the room, you know?

And I should add that I felt this way despite forcing the Thriller album, half of Bad, and some J5 on my mother who at one point turned to me and said, “Lena, it’s like you’re in love with him” and I was like, “um, yeah, of course I am” and she looked at me like I was insane. As if it’s NOT possible to be madly in love with Michael while also very in love with my husband lol. Please. How silly. As if marriage ever stopped any woman from being obsessively in love with Michael!

Anyway... That’s all. lol. I just miss him! Am I a weirdo, or just a fool? Or is this the only reasonable way to respond to Michael Jackson (my working theory)? Am I skewing the results to this survey by picking a biased audience? Only time will tell lol

Of course you did. That's normal. I've been on this board for just over 3 months. This is not me. Being online, I mean. Only Michael could get me to change the habits of a lifetime. And this is *not* a generational thing, trust me. This is 100% a 'me' thing. I was built to read books endlessly, to listen to music, to stare at the moon. Not to be in front of a feckin' computer screen. For work, yeah, sure. To get info for me or my service users. Of course. No problem. But at any other point in my day? Oh please!

And yet here I am. That's Michael.

So here I am on the board, being way more active on it than I expected. Like every day, often multiple times per day (although I do really need to put a lid on that). But here's the thing, ladies. Being on the board makes me miss Michael.

It took me a while to realise what was going on. Being here meant I was spending less time listening to him. And I really missed him. Like he just wasn't in my life as much as usual or in the same way. And it freaked me out. I did not like it AT ALL. It made me want to cry. It was like a physical ache. Like there was an actual physical gap where he normally was. (I sound completely insane, don't I? It's OK, you can say it. I can take it). Now, obvs, there are compensations cos people post stuff that I wouldn't necessarily come across by myself. Plus, it is massively helpful to know other peeps are as deranged about him as I am. Or even more deranged than me but, my point is, it's always helpful to know, 'oh, it's not just me'.

But I haven't solved this problem. I'm still struggling to figure out what to do about it. I mean, the board is all about Michael and yet ... something is missing. No offence to anyone. It's not about which thread I'm on or who is posting stuff or whatever. It's not about other people, it's about me. It's about hours in the day plus a massive shift in my normal way of doing things. It's kinda doing my head in.

You must be psychic. About 3 weeks ago I was wondering whether I needed an intervention. I was wondering if I could stage my own intervention so as to keep the extent of my Michael madness to myself. Not because I'm embarrassed but because the derangement in itself is part of my Michaeling and therefore private. I never did get around to it. Someone posted a photo and I was lost. :D

I always seem to find the time but that does not mean I can always *afford* the time. I REALLY need to put a lid on this. But I say that all the time and it never happens. And I don't even feckin' care.

No such thing as an unbiased social science survey. There's always something. So I'm not bothered about that. We are the people who know. We just know that we are on the right path. This is a very wide path and it is long. It can accommodate anyone who wishes to step onto it.

Missing Michael sounds very normal to me. I struggle with it every day.

I find with most people, it's a transition. When you first discover the board and make friends with people and start chatting every day, that kind of takes over your life for a while; but eventually it all settles down into an easy kind of rhythm. You just have to establish a routine and some balance.....ration your time on the board, if you need to. As far as the music goes, I listen to it while I'm online. I link my phone to a Bluetooth speaker, or use headphones with my computer. So.....I'm doing both at the same time. That way, I can't miss him. I actually have him all around me in subtle ways. He's on the key ring that holds my house keys; he's on the different t-shirts that I wear to bed at night; he's on the walls in my office.; books about him are stacked on my bookshelves. Michael is one of the constants, while everything else in my life swirls around him.

No, you are not the only psycho in the room, though when it's more than one people, that behaviour should be considered normal behaviour. I think those who don't just melt when looking at Michael should worry about what's wrong with them :)
I too am going to be away for the long weekend and already wondering how I am going to spend time away! But I also am trying to force myself to not open this forum or think about Michael all day so that I can carry on with my day to day work. Let's see how that goes!

I say this to everyone in my life who is stunned by how much I fall apart about him. People who don’t see what we see are completely insane and missing out on nearly blinding beauty and life-threatening sexiness lol

lol I totally understand! I actually had a thought of like, will Michael think I don’t love him if I don’t listen to him much or talk about him much then next week? THAT is an insane thought lol. But also I’ve had the thought that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so taking some time away might be a nice break for your heart, but you can surely count on a resurgence when you do get back haha

Side note: I do find whenever I don’t watch him perform for a few days, when I finally do again it’s blows open my life lol.

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful long weekend! You mentioned work, so not sure if it’s a business or pleasure thing, but I hope either way the time away is nice :)

God I understand this. So much. I spend a ridiculous amount of time on Michael lol but I also think prior to using this forum as much as I do I was consuming more of his actual content (music, videos, interviews, etc) than discussing him. But I also find getting to discuss him makes me feel less alone with the intense feelings, while also increasing how much I love him lol. But I totally understand because if a day passes without listening to him I feel sad lol

No, I completely get this. It’s what prompted me to post what I did! Same feeling.

I completely understand, though it makes me sad! For me this time on the board enhances my Michael time lol but I can totally understand how the distraction of it might sort of detract (even when it’s fun!). So I think you need to find whatever balance makes you happy and feels most authentic to you 😊 (though for what it’s worth I love your contributions!).

It’s definitely normal (MJ fanbase normal LOL). Millions cry very much over him because they miss him. Some have physically been affected by his death. When he died, I felt a piece of me died and that feeling never went away. It feels like a chunk of my heart was ripped out. I’ve grown used to the feeling, but when I miss him a lot (which is often), I can feel it more. I cry about him often (every few days). It comes in waves. I’m fine then I’m not fine. I can be looking at some content smiling and the next minute I could be crying because I miss him. I’ve woken up missing him and crying (I did just a day ago) many times before. I had this weird thing happen when I began sobbing about him out of the blue and I wasn’t even thinking about him right before! All of this is really normal for our fanbase and only we understand it.

I wasn’t always this way, though. After five years, I stopped crying about him and this January I started grieving over him all over again as if he just died. Just constant crying nearly every day for half of the year. It’s gotten exhausting at this point. I don’t want to be sad over him anymore, but it’s not much I can do. I think I need actual grief counseling, but what therapist will look at me as if I’m not insane LOL. But one thing that did help me was one night I was very torn about his death and I had a dream about him. It was strange because it felt like him. I didn’t see him, but I felt his aura. It felt like the happiness of a child. I heard him talking to me and he said, “You don’t have to be sad about me anymore.” And I never forgot that. Sometimes, I think it genuinely was him visiting me because it felt that real. It was a surreal experience I can’t really put in words. Whatever it was, it stuck with me. When I get sad about him, I remember that. It helps.

You can romantically love anyone and still love Michael at the intensity you do. I do! I am in love with the love of my life of four years and I still love Michael. It’s not the same kind of love. Michael’s love is much deeper. It’s hard to really explain it, but I feel like every fan understands this. We all understand all of this, but anyone outside our fanbase don’t and will think we are absolutely crazy.

I hope you enjoy your trip! You will be missed her for sure! <3

Same. I'm learning to live with the feelings of desperation over just HOW much I want to talk to him. But, yeah, it's intense.

I def want to talk about his edges. If we're talking about the same thing. Edges. Body lines. I have 2 photos I call 'bodyline' photos that I don't know where to put so am posting them here. Also, I do realise you might not pick up on this since you're not gonna be on the board much at the mo. But if I don't do this now I'll just forget. Besides, posting photos of Michael is enough in itself. So it's all good.

JUST LOOK AT HIS FRIKKIN FACE!!! He knew what he was doing, I'm convinced of it.

I cannot look away from the second one! Always amazed at how he can move every part of his body to create that effect. Yes! That is face of a man who knows what effect he has on all the women watching him! From the belt, to clothes to hands 🥵 🔥🔥
 
I think it's time to bring sw23's newly minted phrase over from 'Curls' to Manhood. She said:

" ... but I also want to “manhood thread” him until I cease to exist (isn’t that a creative way of saying everything and nothing all at once?)."

Manhood thread him.

I submit to you that this is our first official piece of *new* language for talking about Michael. It's so restrained and yet so explicit, so tantalising, so creatively inspiring.

And here's a question for us all to reflect on. Do we want to manhood thread Michael? Or do we want Michael to manhood thread us?

Take a bow, sw23. And have some flowers. 💐
