wow…I just keep reading the SAME posts and threads on here all the time.
The usual suspects are:
…am I missing any?
Why do we keep wasting time responding to these posts?
Who is dumber? The trolls, or the ones entertaining their comments?

My token bodybuilder friend, who has actually won our state bodybuilding show strips professionally. He also pulls loads of tail and he’s practically a vagina magnet when we go to the bars together.
Must be a coincidence.

This may have more to do with confidence which he built through his own imagination from getting good at something (be it bodybuilding,tennis,chess or art). I think most guys are at least somewhat intimidated to approach most women most of the time without clear pointers. You can assume someone stacked with muscles is also sporting a fair amount of T and therefore a stronger libido,leading to a larger likelihood of initiating contact with women,as well as more aggression and confidence. In turn,a guy that gives away an aura of interest in the realm of ‘vanity’ (body) comes off as having a powerful libido and caring what women think (the T thing again) and a certain percentage of women will more readily approach him for brief flings at least. I think the kind of ‘shallow’,young,high libido women will flock to bodybuilders they perceive to be horny and ‘manly’ in a primal manner,while the rest will sit idle. Being a bodybuilder helps to draw out those women from the crowd,but it should not be taken to mean that all women are impressed.
This is just a hypothesis I came up with.

Americans are mostly an honest and upfront people. Bodybuilders want to look hardcore while martial artists (esp MMA) actually want to BE hardcore. I think that this is a big reason why most young men head straight for MMA and laugh at bodybuilders. MMA now has UFC and WEC, plus sundry minor leagues. MMA fighters are actually sometimes in the mainstream media.
I’d bet 99 people out of a 100 couldn’t name the current Mr. Olympia, but Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, Rich Franklin would probably get 10/100 or even more. People recognize that bodybuilders are like the little midget king in Shrek, building a big castle (body) to surround themselves while inside remaining a midget. And building a huge muscular body for no purpose or to hide in is irrational.
So, goodbye bodybuilding. Martial art → building the SPIRIT!!![/quote]
Training martial arts for confidence and fun is OK. But training martial arts 5-7 days a week just so that you can perhaps win a fight sometime in your life? Seems retarded to me. Sure it may be slightly more ‘practical’ than playing table tennis 5-7 days a week but it’s still quite a waste,probably. At the very least,you would have to work security,be a cop,military or any job that actually requires or at least very highly encourages you to have that skill. I think I’d rather suffer a reasonably serious injury and lose a fight once in my life than have to spend hours several days a week for the rest of my life getting a little bit bruised and risking a more serious injury as well. What really boggles me is the energy the people who complain about people’s training being deficient for not having enough striking or grappling in it have. There are only 24 hours in a day and you have to sleep,eat,possibly work a job or go to school,engage in other activities such as bodybuildinge etc. and then they will complain about you not doing groundfighting which might cost you your life on the Streets of Rage!
