okay, thats fine for you.

but you know, girls always tell me they hate guys with big muscles. yet when i wear a fitted polo, they are always copping feels of my arms and shoulders.

girls dont know what the fuck they want. if you are out to get some 16 year old jailbait then yeah, look like a coked out rockstar because thats what little girls are into. as females age, they tend to like muscular men more.

many of them have never actually seen a muscular man in real life up close, i find they often change their minds when they meet me because I'm down to earth and a nice guy, who just so happens to be built. you really think they are going to pick some weeaboo who wears girl jeans and has aspergers that never goes outside? come on, im not an egotistical prick, im just like any other guy except i enjoy lifting weights and i like being strong, it doesn't mean im a bigot or a mysoginist

think of lifting weights as akin to cars as a hobby.

some guys just buy a brand new convertible and try to pick up girls.

some other guys truly enjoy working on a car and like to see how fast they can get it around a track or in a straight line, ie lift heavy weight or try and get super lean and muscular.

at this point it doesn't really have to do with attracting girls, thats a nice perk, but its a hobby and it just so happens to be very healthy, and teaches great principles in life to adhere by.

some people just want a red mustang//abzz

some people want tuned camaro with 500hp//powerlifter

some people love to have a rice rocket (bodybuilder)

other people may enjoy racing on a track with a race class bmw (olympic/gymnastic.etc)

I'm a girl. How bout this: WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES IN MEN.

The OP posted a freak of nature who probably punches holes in his walls when he doesn't get his way, but there's nothing wrong with a guy keeping decent muscles.

Personality will always be more important than looks. As long as a guy isn't over 250 pounds (fat OR muscle, they both look plain gross over a certain weight) and isn't a land mine victim or something, I would potentially date him once I got to know him. Shyness is a huge turn off, it makes people second guess both themselves and you. Activism and intelligence is always a turn on, there's nothing hotter than a guy who wants political change IMO. But, mostly, I'd go for a guy who likes to have fun and isn't serious all the time. If I can get you to go to a picnic in the park on a sunny day or have fun baking cookies without a fight, then you're a keeper. You do fun stuff with me, and I'll come try to do guy stuff with you like playing paintball or something. Relationships are all about give and take, and they'll never work if one side is selfish and ignores the other side's hobbies.

I'm just saying your average gym rat is what you would call a jock. It becomes hard to trust big muscle guys after 90% of the ones you meet really are stereotypical assholes. But that's why first impressions are so vital. I could care less if you looked like the guy in OP's pic (still would find you too big for my tastes, though) if you initially started talking to me about Alton Brown or Azumanga, because I'd see you not only had other interested aside from your body, but your interests were similar to mine.

Thing is, you usually talk to a gym rat and ALL he wants to talk about is working out, sports, his gun collection or how cool his car is. Self-absorption is arrogance, not confidence. A smart guy would realize that if the person he's talking to has no interest in this kind of things he'll make an effort to find common ground...that's called having social skills.

BMI can be important in the long run. You still don't want to be too stocky for your skeleton size, even if you ARE in great shape. Of course, a BMI of 25 is perfectly normal.

But like those guys who are 320 pounds and 10% body fat...holy fuck, they are going to have insane knee and spine problems later in life, just like most athletes do. Pushing your body is fine and all, but pushing your body also requires knowing your scientific limits. It doesn't take a Ph.D to know that slamming into other people on a football field for 20 years of your life isn't the best idea or that packing on 200 pounds of muscle is not natural for most people's bone structure.

They generally are and as an anime fan I hate them just as much as you probably do.

And as a music fan, I hate people who walk around wearing band shirts 24/7 and talk about all the concerts they've been to like their ticket stubs are Purple Hearts from WW2.

I make it a point to try to be nice to everyone, the problem is that most people aren't generally nice, and you start to realize that they just aren't worth your time. Most people try to hold their hobbies over other people's heads. It's like once they found a niche they feel comfortable with, they think it's a free pass to be an arrogant douche to other people.

I'm still nice to people on the first meeting, but I've long since become jaded to the point where I DO stereotype. I'll talk to a guy who is full of muscles and be nice, but I'm thinking my head "God, I'm 90% sure he's just going to be a clone of the last asshole who had 16 inch arms and wore a Gold's Gym shirt".

Well, I don't lift weights and I don't have an interest in weights. I don't want to look like one of those female American Gladiator's. But, I know what you're saying.

The thing is, there's a difference between someone asking to become muscular and you saying "You're currently out of shape, nothing will get you what you want except hard work and heavy lifting. Man up or stop dreaming for that body." and just plain making fun of someone for having a different idea of what their ideal body is. Not everyone, regardless of gender, WANTS to work out to gain large amounts of muscle. People come off as assholes when they think everyone should be following THEIR exact workout plan and diet regimen, that's all I'm really trying to say.

Like, I've seen people start threads asking for advice on doing cardio and losing fat, and then some assfuck just comes in and starts telling them they HAVE to start lifting weights for 2 hours a day, when it's obvious that's not what the OP wants advice on.

I respect anybody who takes the time to do a bit of research, get dirty, and work their ass off. it has nothing to do with how muscular they are.

i am going to berate and ridicule the ones who want to change themselves, but wont put in the effort or try their hardest.

I don't see why loving animals or using Japanese words in real life is that big of a deal. Well, the Japanese part is annoying if all she said were basic greetings and stuff...would be different if she actually studied Japanese and liked to practice it in conversation.

Anyway, the rest of what you described is pretty bad. I've known people like that and most anime fans really ARE like that. I'm an anime fan and I feel out of place among most other anime fans, as well as non anime fans, because I'm pretty different from both of them. I, too, can't stand messy people or people with no ambition, because I'm generally an optimistic, at times overly idealistic person, and lazy people generally just bring me down because they never want to do anything.

It's like this one guy I know from /a/. He's 21, lives with his parents, has no job, dropped out of a two year tech school, and is planning to spend what little money he has saved up on some kind of ridiculous vacation to Europe.

Ah thank you, people SEVERELY underestimate what is capable naturally. I've seen a man clean and jerk 400lbs natural. it was awe inspiring.

but Steroids aren't EVIL. women get hormone therapy for menopause and birth control etc all the time, yet a man looking for more testosterone is ridiculed. so many of the "negative effects" of steroids are simply myths based on misuse and overabuse. that abuse happens because nobody wants to talk about steroids.

plain simple fact. Steroid use, when monitered by a doctor, followed by proper post cycle therapy, produces absolutely zero side effects, and is beneficial to a man who has reached his natural limit lifting weights, or a man who is aging and losing energy and sex drive.

Right, and this can be applied to any aspect of life. It's the difference between someone with a Bachelor's degree constantly whining about making the same as someone with an Associate's degree, but doesn't have the ambition to go back to school to further their education.

Or kinda like the movie SAW, how he singles out people who have become lethargic and complacent with their lives. The only ones who lived were the ones willing to make a big sacrifice and change their monotonous lives.

It's just that once you ARE at your goals, be they related to wealth, education, fitness, or whatever, it takes a strong mind and spirit to remain humble. The people who disregard the welfare and emotions of others and only focus on themselves will generally end up in ruin. Unfortunately, this is what happens to most humans.

Snakes and stuff...yeah. They aren't the best pets. Don't get me wrong, I'm an animal lover, but not all animals are supposed to be kept as pets. You should keep pets that form a bond with humans, which is why cats and dogs are good because of how emotional they are. If you get a reptile or amphibian or rodent, they kind of just there and only care if they get fed.

It's called progesterone and propecia. First one is a hormone found in both genders, but in higher levels in females. Second is an anti-androgen that is directly related to hair growth and stuff. Stuff like Rogaine is nothing more than propecia.

But with women, they get hot flashes because their bodies stop producing estrogen at a certain age. Taking estrogen supplements helps prevent this. With males and balding, you generally go bald because of your testosterone levels. Men with low testosterone or outright deficiencies don't usually experience baldness, that's why propecia prevents hair loss, because it blocks certain elements in testosterone that cause hair loss.

That's great and generally makes for an inspiring story. If you were bullied a lot and put forth effort to shut them up and prove what you're made of, then that's a good thing. It's just a bad thing if you do this and end up acting JUST like the people who used to bully you, which is what happens to most people when they get blinded by their success.

I mean, there are metaphors for this kind of thing in all sorts of literature and films. It's such a good moral to add to a story because it takes a strong person to remain kind and humble after achieving success, but a weak person gives in to their emotional side and ends up turning into a monster. Gift of the Magi is a good short story that focuses on these themes.

Well, hair loss is a natural part of having high testosterone. Ethnicities with high testosterone are generally Russians and people from the Middle East or around the Mediterranean. Notice that they usually go bald early in life and have obscene amounts of body hair. Generally, Germanic types are the exact opposite...I'm one of them. I'm 21 and I couldn't grow a full beard in a month if I tried and I don't even grow leg hair or anything, it's just genetics. My mom's side of the family is all Italian and shit, though, and EVERY male on her side was bald in their fucking 20s. But then my dad is almost 65 and still has a healthy head of hair that isn't even grey yet.

Downside is that I was diagnosed with a testosterone deficiency and my physician said men of my ethnicity commonly have something like this. I generally didn't take it as an assault to my ego or anything, and I'm pretty happy with my lack of body hair since I think it's disgusting anyway.

FYI i was the one posting all those long explanitory paragraphs, this is more akin to my current goal, which allows still for alot of strength. maybe a little more chest size but thats it. i want to be full, rock hard, and ripped, but also incredibly strong and still fit into a large tee

is this still gross?

Femanon here. There are two types of guys that workout.

There are the "get in shape, don't be fat, and maintain a flat stomach, and perhaps a six-pack" type, and there are the "PROTEIN SHAKES, POWER CLEANS, SQUATS SQUATS SQUATS SQUATS" type.

Guess which are more desirable?

Yea, I've relegated my ego to the fact that going bald is natural. I realized that there's not much I can do about it either. Yet. Mother nature can kiss my hairy ass, first chance I get, I'm sprinking nano robots on my head to grow back my hair.

If you're around by the time nanomachines can cause hair growth, you'll be around for those same nanomachines installing laser defense systems in your eyes.

My dad is bald, and my two brothers (early to mid twenties) are starting to lose their hair. I probably will too in a few years. I am damn hairy, and Iranian. Does that mean I have a lot of testosterone? If so, awesome!

Back then, even the ancient Greeks would try to 'cheat' nature by brewing up all kinds of potions and eating obscene amounts of meat to get athletic. If the Greeks knew about steroids, they probably would have taken them too.

Good theory. Mine is a little different:

Vain faggots will chestbeat whatever status they have as the superior one that gets lots of women, whether it's slim metrosexual without bodybuilder sized muscles, or the super secure comfortable guy who likes to cook (this is /ck/'s language for lazy fatasses who think cooking is microwaving the newest junkfood/ordering at McDonalds).

With all this neckbeard shouting, we forget the following:

1.) This is health and fitness

2.) Women like whatever they want; in fact, and go try to tell them what they like and see if this really works

Not to mention that those sculptures (that one in question is probably a Roman copy of a Greek sculpture anyway) portray idealized versions of the human body. So while it was possible for someone to be naturally built like that back then (otherwise they wouldn't have a reference for art like that) it was also very unlikely for most men to look like that considering diet and how unfashionable exercise was to the wealthy.

tl;dr Roman emperors were all fat and ugly

Maybe because not everyone's fucking life is ruled by the pussy, and they have an easy enough time going out and getting some without making every fucking decision around it.

Maybe that.

women will fucking date just about anyone if they have game and a good personality. i'm sure being fit will help get your foot in the door and make you live longer and happier, but i don't think its as important as a lot of people make it out to be

Baldness comes from your mother, not your dad, yet it only effects males, so check her brothers to tell if your going to go bald. But if your brothers are losing your hair then GG.

My girlfriend is a sexy beast. However I'm a bit chubby. I want to be lean and fit so it's fair for her. :) It's working, too. I've been on my workout/healthy eating plan for about two weeks and today she went crazy over the newly developed muscles in my pecs and biceps.

I'm still the same person I was when I joined the gym.
I got more muscle tissue and overall more fit. I still browse /b/, laugh at rape and still a virgin... yep I pretty much go to the gym for my self and has become my only hobbie I have from my computer so I try my best to be good at it ( watch what I eat and such ). I'm sure most of us here are the same and women or men shouldn't stereotype someone for being well build because it does take alot of effort to get the certain physiek that you want and to be happy with it

in this case it has more to do with the fact that a male bodybuilder won't fetishize them and will relate to them as something other than a sex object. they can also appreciate the dedication involved, because professional bodybuilding is a punishing process.

generally speaking, of course. i believe denise masino is married to some butterball looking guy.

>when we reach our goal, we say to ourselves, that was too easy i want more, i want harder, how far can i push myself. and its through that, that we kind of find peace of mind and meaning in life. weightlifting for many of the advanced level people is not simply a means to an end, its kind of a metaphor for hard work and effort, accomplishment is like a drug to us

Lumpy muscles are incredibly nasty (shit sticking out of your thighs and back and sides), but strong guys & guys with hard muscle are amazing. Toned, not built, please.

Basically, if a dude flexes facing away from me, I want to be able to feel the muscles in his back. Not see them pop out at me like a ravening tumor.

here's how i see it

are you an asshole? then i sure as fuck won't touch you, whether you're fat, skinny, or bulky. you're still an asshole, the way you look doesn't change that.

are you really cool and easy to be around? you have a chance, no matter if you're huge and muscly or not.

so when it all comes down to it, who (other than vain, superficial douchebags) the fuck cares?
