Meatless Monday?? What is the world coming to?![/quote]

I hereby pledge to eat twice as much meat on Mondays to help offset the “going to hell in a handbasket world” in which we find ourselves.

Come and join me! Let us devour the carcasses of tasty animals with fervor![/quote]

Push.

My favourite restaurant here is a yakiniku joint called Gyu-kaku. For thirty dollars you can have as much barbecued meat as you can eat. For an extra ten dollars you can wash it down with as much beer or other alcoholic beverages as you can drink.

And the waitresses are hot.

When you come, we must go there… preferably on a Tuesday night, for then it will be Mundane Meatless Monday in Max’s neck of the woods.[/quote]

God! I miss Japan! I’ll be sure to visit it next time i travel over there.

Just went there tonight. Eighty-two pieces of meat, thirty leaves of lettuce, half a head of cabbage and about a bulb of garlic disappeared down my throat.

You will not regret the visit, I guarantee it.

Some males are scared of me. That’s it.

Is it odd that you count each piece of meat and leaf of lettuce you eat, do you think? Or do they track it and it becomes part of your bill?

Usually I don’t bother, but I’ve eaten there so many times without having any idea how much I’d consumed that I thought it might be interesting to know.

I kept track of plates, and I know how many pieces of meat to a plate. And the lettuce is ten leaves to a bowl, so that one was easy to remember. Could not tell you how any grams of protein or calories that meal contained. Probably way more than were necessary.

And do you mean odd for me, or odd in general?

IME, the whole people see you as a threat thing is true, though people don’t pick fights with me. More often they apologize excessively or run away if I get really pissed off. The funny thing is, I’m not that big of a guy by this site’s standards, though I do have the kind of build that gives me the illusion of size, so people who don’t have an eye for BBing often overestimate my weight by 10-15lbs.

Like someone said earlier, I think there’s a lot of context that goes along with the size. I’m inked and my face and arms are covered in scars (and like the earlier guy, I’ve got a few good stories with them too). Met some criminals recently and they were all surprised that I have a totally clean record and am in medical school. Maybe time to re-evaluate my appearance, not that I can do much about the scars and tats…

Girls don’t “bump” into me. They’re not that subtle. I’ve had tons cop a feel of my arms, chest, shoulders, abs, and ass though. Funny how they can get away with that bullshit but guys can’t.

Adding to this list:

  1. Everybody and their grandma asks you if you do steroids. Even if you are natty, no matter what you say they always think you do anyway. And any time I get irritated, people assume its due to the steroids I’m not on. This is annoying as hell!

  2. People ask you about workout tips all the time - I don’t mind this.

  3. Creepy fanboys idolize you. I guess some people who desperately want to build some mass with terrible results decide to worship anyone who got the results they want. This is like #7 taken to a creepy extreme. They follow you around, asking you for tips incessantly. And they treat you like you can do no wrong because you’ve attained the holy grail by building more muscle than the average schmo. Happened to me a few times. The worst one was from some fucked up dude at a rave who just kept following me around telling me how awesome I was for having muscle and wouldn’t leave me alone for 5 seconds. I swear he would’ve blown me in the bathroom if I helped him in the gym in return. Creepy stuff like this happen to anyone else or do I just attract weirdos?

  1. Got me lots of ass
  2. Helped me kick ass

I can’t say it ever changed me, but I’ve been very fit from a young age, so maybe I just don’t know.

I have had women come and confess love/lust to me, sometimes in the most inappropriate settings (notably drunken female associates at law firm Hanukkah/Christmas Parties and a female juror during a trial, which was a complete clusterfuck), but I think it had more to do with I am an authority figure than being “jacked” since I wear a suit on all such occasions.

I do get asked to come to the front of the office when the periodic weirdo/Occupy Wall Street idiot comes into the lobby and creates a scene. This is (according to my paralegal) due to the fact that I am tall/big and the ladies feel I am the only actual male on the floor, but I suspect it is also because I carry a pistol (legally in NYC, which was a feat).

And I had several women gym friends over the years comment to the effect that they wished their husbands looked like me. This was probably an opening, but not one I would ever go through, for many reasons.

And I get asked to move heavy things by people with regularity.

And I get called “big guy” by bums.

So, long way of saying, I can’t say it “changed my life,” but being a large guy is part of who I am.

6 and 7 yes, and I don’t mind either. I take both as a compliment and definitely respect someone trying to improve that’s willing to ask questions, it’s not always easy.

As far as attention from chicks, I don’t really notice. Like someone else said you hear more comments from other dudes. When women do give obvious attention to me, it is ALWAYS a black chick LOL!. Maybe they are just not shy I don’t know, but as a pasty white dude I find it hilarious.

See, I didn’t use to mind the steroids thing either. I took it as a mark of pride that my hours in the gym were actually working toward something. But now I’ve gotten to the point where almost everyone, unless I know them well, assumes I’m juicing, no matter what I say when they ask the dreaded question. Which is idiotic because I’m not even big anyway.

I’ve known many guys who I genuinely believe to be natty who got better results than me, guys who trained longer, guys who were more committed, etc. It’s not that I’ve got anything against PEDs, but it sucks that there’s such a stigma against them. I work in a bar, and while I love my co-workers, even bar people who can casually talk about the ridiculous amount of hard drugs they did last night or the twisted fetish gangbang they did still look down on AAS.

And funny that you say this.

When I was good looking (I still have a great body but the face is a goner) I would see girls eyes light up when they looked at me. There were two times though, just in passing, I saw girls eyes literally bug out and both times it was in deed black chicks.

If I wasn’t already such an ego maniac I’d have to make it a point to periodically take my shirt off in front of black chicks.
