Nope. Not a single intelligent thought in that whole comment.
lol when i look in the mirror i see someone who is actually pretty muscular and strong as fuck. to the average population.
but i want to be fucking stronger. fuck you.
fuck
I just saw a recent pic of Carrot Top…wtf. Roids’…I don’t care what anyone says. He’s got some body dysmorphia for sure…he’s got some face dysmorphia also!
I remember seeing something about this on T.V. , TLC I think, they used to air it with “the man who’s arms exploded.” The guy they covered definately did have issues, he was fricken huge but thought he was skinny, I would say that is somewhat along the lines of reverse anorexia. But this is just another rediculous study by a bunch of desk jockies.
I believe the point that article is trying to make is that it is more important to focus on intellect rather than appearance.
But then again, who gives a shit if you’re the smartest person in the world but your so ugly that no one will talk to you?
Just a thought.

People always tell me i have some sort of body Dismorphia becasue i lift weights 6 days a week.Then again those comments come from dudes that have a smoke in one hand,a beer in the other and a cream bun in their mouth.

Don’t you want to be drunk and fat too?
Freak.
I admit I do have self image dismorphia, but fuck that guarantees that I will never stop because I will always see a fat POS as my reflection in the mirror. I will always strive to improve without falter. I’m perfectly happy being physically deviant from the norm. The norm is a skinny fat, junk food eating, partying, drinking, soy joy bar eating surfer boy in my area. Fuck conformity.
I still see the 140 pound scrawny body I had in high school when I look in the mirror.
People with BDD typically believe themselves to be so horrendously ugly that they can’t live normal lives. This is obviously a destructive process. Seeking to improve oneself, I believe, is quite the opposite, i.e. a creative process.
I don’t even think there’s a fine line between the two. Most BDD sufferers are messed up beyond repair, be it because of chemical imbalances in the brain, trauma or whatever.
There is however this new buzz-word for a “disease” that’s characterized by a focus on clean/healthy eating and living. Presumably the sufferers cannot enjoy life as it’s supposed to be. I guess you can say that ascetics choosing to leave society in pursuit of a higher goal have a similar disease and should immediately be hospitalized.
Lifting has kind of become something i cannot live without. It started out as a cure for depression, poor health, and drug addiction. But I’m way past that now.
it’s so ingrained into my life i cant imagine stopping it. whats the point in living if you cant test your limits?
Andrew of Brisbane is responsible for 90% of the trolls on this forum.
I know this thread is from like 4 months ago but i dont care.
I think the reason for this is because people who work out have a different standard.
I don’t see myself as skinny, and I know I am more muscular than the average guy my age.
I went to the beach today and I realised that I was the most muscular guy there that wasn’t fat (lots of skinny surfer guys).
However I work at a gym, and I’m constantly around people who lift (many who are bigger and stronger than me), I also like to read BB mags and sites.
In comparison to guys who lift seriously, I’m small-average, and that spurs me on to get bigger and stronger.
What is wrong with that? it is healthy and doesn’t have a negative impact on the rest of my life.
I think its just relative, if they bothered to do a proper interview with these guys I think they would find that they are aware of being muscular compared to the average person but want to be big compared to other lifters.
If being big, strong, fast, and healthy is a disease…
Yeah we’ve got that shit bad.
Oh fuck were going to live happy, productive lives.
nice article, quitting weights, i just need to get his swinging program and im set
YOu guys are over-reacting. As hard as people have been trying for the past 5 years too downplay muscles…the so-called body dismorphia thing is spreading faster than ever before. Even skinny asian actors are bulking up to look muscular…nothign to worry about. This is just the reaction to the insecurities muscle beach junkies fed to the John Q. public since the days of charles Atlas…
As long as people watch American Football and as long as football players are looked at as sex symbols - we have nothing to worry about.
Hmm, so a plastic surgeon is a natural way to get over body issues?
Fuck me. I hate society.
