In situations like that you have to laugh it off, joke around, bust balls back and make fun of yourself a little bit; If you become noticeably annoyed/upset when groups of people address your muscularity, you immediately get labeled the angry roided up meathead, and that ruins it for all of us. Don’t be that guy.

Laugh, have fun, and people will eventually realize that you’re a down to earth guy who is not obsessively wrapped up in aesthetics but just so happens to be huge as fuck.

To actually add to this thread, I’d have to agree with Shaq here. When I read your post, I started thinking of how I would make those people feel stupid if I was in that situation…but you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The only way out is this way, which sucks but that’s life.

When I was in high school, in this little town in the Northwest. I sat down to put up what would be number 2 on the record for the school in bench. I was 6’ and 180lbs. Steroids do not exist in this area or at at least there was no such thing at the time. The guys who put up the records I was breaking were 240-260 lb dudes of viking ancestry or something. In front of the whole class as I am about to get into position the coach asks, ‘are you taking steroids?’ We were only talking a 325lb bench.

Seriously, WTF

23

Yeah man, i’m in the kinesiology for my school also, and its very hard to make it into the department (only 30 get in each year) i do not have 1

friend in the program cuz they are all skinny weiner nerds, or fat ugly bitches, who cant even kick a soccer ball, why the fuck would apply for

Human Kinetics if you can’t or at least don’t even want to do some “movement” aka sports, yourself, stupid retards… sry ive been saving this rant

for a while now, feels good…

You’re not gross (though I’m sure you know that.) Sounds like the girl was just playing for attention.

There is a sort of societal perception that only the “bad guys” are strong – that if you have muscles, you’re probably a violent, stupid asshole. For that reason, exactly, it matters to me that people see more examples of strong good guys (and women.)

25

yeah dude, if you are in undergrad, even fuck the girls that didnt even comment if you can. fuck the ones in the next lecture hall over. fuck your TA. pretty much anything but your sister and mom should be game. its hard to keep the momentum up once you start working 60 hour weeks out of school and youll know then just how good you had it lol.

I just started an MBA, half hoping for round 2, and it is cock soup. And the 2% unattatched females, well, the odds are good but the goods are odd. Not that that has stopped me woohoooo college!!!

Girls like boys, women like men. And men have muscle. I bet you’re young.[/quote]

Thank you for understanding diana, I totally stole that quote from someone on here like last year. Don’t remember who, but it’s a good one.

When your employers sit you down, the people that are the reason you can pay your mortgage, and ask you if you are using AAS you stop taking it as a compliment.

When you realize people are trying to put you down, and put down your accomplishments, you will stop taking it as a compliment.

When the idea that these people are stereotyping, judging, and generally shitting on you by saying that shit, however misguided their thoughts may be, you will stop taking it as a compliment.

I bust my fucking ass, and eat meat until my jaw hurts. I drink milk that makes my back look like I’m 17 and have 6,000 testicles. I fucking pound on my body until my shoulders ache, my leg screams with fucking pain every step I take for four days after squats, I load up on close to a gram of caffeine so I can force my body, riddled with aches and pain, to pull a shit load of weight from the floor.

“Regular people” see AAS as cheating. Fuck you I’m gonna let some lazy, fat ass, nobody fucking SLOB, for one second, put me down as a cheater and think I didn’t work for what I have, and take it as a compliment.

Sorry for the hijack rant, but I don’t understand how so of you guys take this as a compliment. It is not one.[/quote]

This is the kind of shit that gets me motivated. Thanks.

I fucking hate college people. I’m an Exercise and Sport Science major and all of my classes are filled with fat people and skinny mother fuckers. I’ve seen very few impressive physiques so far, I’m quite disappointed.

I do hope the “girls like boys, women like men” thing turns out to be true, because right now, all I see is beer bellied frat guys with the hot girls.

OP, don’t worry about that shit though. My ex said “gross” the first time she saw my vascularity in my arms, then I dated her for 5 months and then fucked her for a year a few months after we broke up.

Lesson learned: Girls are stupid.

31

One of the classes that all students at my university are required to take is some bullshit health and exercise class. We did a simialr thing as the OP where you locate bones and muscles on each other. I got this girl who had to locate some leg muscles and said something along the lines of. “woah! Your legs feel weird, do you do a lot of running or something?”

I kinda got a kick outta it cuz a couple girls around grabbed a feel and unfortunately one guy :frowning:

Traps show strength and hard work/dedication.

i get mad at these people so i choke them out. but, i dont have an anger issue :open_mouth:

34

It’s kind of an us and them thing. There are just going to be people who get it and people who don’t. I get and return little nods all throughout my day. When you see someone who obviously takes it seriously, they’re family. People who aren’t in the family just don’t get it.

35

slit their fucking throats and bbq them for protein

Yeah, but you used caffeine, so you’re nothing but a big, gross, icky, cheater-face!

The girl saying “eww” was obviously looking for attention as previously stated. What I am surprised about is noone called her out for being a rude, uncouth piece of trash. If the roles had been reversed, you know damn well everyone would have been on you or any other guy, for that matter, for being a jerk. And as a sidenote, every woman that told me I was too big or muscualr for them ended up in the bed with me. :wink: Most women know what they want, it’s just a matter of whether they will admit it.

Unfortunately, we live in a world of misinformed, miseducated, lazy people. A large number of them even post on this site. :slight_smile: I have been accused of taking steroids for so long, I can’t remember when the accusations started. Every time I applied at a police department, I had a nickname before I left - Green Mile, Barry Bonds, Conan, etc.

Funny thing is those same guys who gave me the derogatory nicknames always said they would rather have me going through a door into a crackhouse with them than the skinny, weak guys who were applying.

Bottomline is, it is annoying and rude, but most people know in their hearts it is jealousy and envy at your work ethic and disicipline more than anything else.

To paraphrase Arnold: “Pity is given. Jealousy is earned.” I plan on making at least one person jealous everyday for the rest of my life.

I had an absurd reaction while out to dinner the other night with my fiance, one of her friends and her friend’s husband. We got onto the topic of fitness and nutrition which everyone likes to bring up around me. This woman’s husband says matter of factly, “You can’t burn fat or lose weight unless you’re eating carbs.” My mouth hit the fuckin table. I chuckled at his statement and replied, “What? Who did you hear that from, yes you can…”

He says with 100% certainy, as factually as the existence of gravity, “No, you can’t.” At this point I’m just annoyed that this bald fat idiot thinks he’s about to enlighten me although he’s the definition of an average American. So I pull out my trump card and say, “So you mean to tell me, that If I throw your chunky ass into a prison cell and starve you for 2 weeks, giving you only water, your body will simply refuse to utilize your fat as an energy source because you weren’t consuming carbs? Do you think the children in 3rd world countries have their ribs hanging out of their sides because there’s just far too many McDonald’s french fries lying around?”

That pretty much silenced him and also ruined the night. Mr. Asshole strikes again. Moral of the story for the OP, people are idiots. I also agree with what someone else stated earlier. Girls like boys, women like men and men have muscles.

They take it as a compliment because they aren’t really that big and their employers have never sat them down and literally asked about steroid use.

They are simply hearing that they stand out for the first time. That is why so many of them gloss right over the negatives…because most of the people saying this really don’t think they are on anabolics. They are simply looking for something to say because they see muscles.

It will only finally sink in how negative that is when they actually have to worry about their income being affected by it.
