Look at it logically. It IS a lot of food or water and that IS the point. Take it in your stride, don’t take it too seriously, or, you could wear it like a badge of honour.

People that let this interfere with their life too much are fucking daft. If you go out on a date with some hottie (not Lee Hottie, of course) and all you can think about is the fact that this restaurant does have any P and F meals, then go the fuck home. You aren’t giving your date the attention she/he deserves, and you’re giving the rest of us a bad name.

Some of you are like struggling painters with your whole “I must suffer for my art” bullshit that you go on with.

Well-put!

It’s even more retarded if coming from someone who really isn’t all that built. That gallon jug of water will look that much more ridiculous to the average person.

I totally understand.I could care less if some little blondy college slut says I’m no fun because I drink til my liver explodes.

I hear these attention whores bitch about every single thing.My girl friend always goes on and on about me.I go to the gym to workout with my friends and her and her 400 sack of shit lard ass friend are downing tubs of candy and are making fun of me saying all I do is exercise.Yeah,4 times a week sure is a lot.What a load of crap.

I never thought I’d see the day where you’re called a freak for caring about your health and putting on mass,but lard asses downing hundreds of sodas and candy bars don’t get looked at that way anymore.It’s sad.[/quote]

I’m sitting here laughing. I could comment something on each and every one of these posts, but it would take too damn much of my time.

If a blondy slut tells you you’re no fun, bust on her. Make fun of her. Jesuuus.

What do you mean 400 pound lard-asses are making fun of you? What do you mean your girlfriend makes fun of you and reproaches you things?

You need to track down your balls and reattach them.

You don’t get called a “freak” because you care about your health. You’re getting called a freak because they are jealous. You know what the answer to that is? Destroy them.

People don’t usually say anything derogatory to me because I am smug, and it shows. The last time someone did though, I verbally made him feel like suicide is the only option left.

Basically, if you let fat candy-eating monstruously pasty beings make fun of you, you’re a pussy.

In short, Bodybuilding is a very very VERY small niche of people in the grand population of the world. How can you expect everyone to automatically identify with your needs? Your post just came off as self-involved.

Ooooh my!!! He’s self involved? The horror of it. Wait! Maybe he isn’t self involved. Maybe, maybe, maybe he just sounded self-involved. Maybe there’s still hope.

Ermmm…women get pissy because you’re not doing what they want? You mean, you’re actually doing what they want most of the time, or at least some of the time, or at least once in a blue moon?

Let me put down a few ideas for you here:

1)Athletes (including bodybuilders) are a very very very small niche indeed. They are also much much much better than normal lard-asses. Much much much better.

2)If a lard-ass has a problem with a man’s self-involvment, life-style, eating habits…oooh, I say make him feel the wrath of heavenly sarcasm. Lord knows how insecure these pieces of flour are, a few well-placed verbal barbs and they’ll crumble into a mass of sugary product.

3)If a good-looking woman tells you you look like a stripper, fuck her.

4)If a good-looking woman says something derogatory about you, fuck her. I know it might sound contradictory, but trust me, it isn’t.

5)If an ugly woman is talking to you, you’re obviously doing something wrong. Run away, then try to find out where exactly you messed up.

6)Try being a little less sensitive. There’s nothing more ridiculous than a man who lifts weights but can’t handle a little social pressure.

7)The only way to handle social pressure is to dish out more social pressure of your own.

I’m definitely the last girl you’d look at and say “oh, she’s a weight lifter/body builder.”
The looks from guys are priceless when I shake up some protein during class or talk about deadlifting … as if they expect me to wear flannel and a crew cut, simply from having ventured into the weight room at school.

I take my diet and fitness very seriously, but hey, that’s my choice – it interferes socially sometimes (ie, if I don’t go out drinking every night), but I also get sick a lot less than other folks I know, and I’m much less lethargic by the end of the day. Being a college student and being healthy are not mutually exclusive, it just seems that way on a campus chock-full of fraternities and binge drinking.

The best strategy, for me at least, is to meet other students who have similar interests/goals, and to cut loose with my friends every so often :slight_smile: …and to not take myself so seriously, lol

You boys and gals are really missing out on the fun of being different.

Different can be cool. Way cool. Especially when different means better and “not a loser”.

What you don’t seem to realize is that you’re stepping on other people’s feelings a bit by being different. It makes them take a look at themselves, even if for a second, and ask questions. As long as everyone’s a drunken fat-ass it’s allright. But when someone different steps into the room, it changed the dynamics of the situation.

So stop worrying about yourself. Just rub it in their faces. You’re already doing it, slightly, just a few steps more and you’ll learn to enjoy being better than others.

Here here, to the betters.

I think anyone that practice bodybuilding in any facet experiences the same things. Why do you eat 2 lunches? Why do you eat tuna from a can? No sugar - are you on a diet?

The simple explanation is that most people are too unheatlhy to know the difference. So, they eat their budget gormet for lunch and have a few mountain dews to get through the day.

Funny thing is, in the gym you’d like to think people know better. But, they don’t. Just because you make a little noise when your going for a PR, they have to giggle like a bunch of fairies. I usually just ask them to give the weight a shot and see what kind of noises they will make. But, again, that is part of being a bodybuilder.

Based on this response, I don’t think you read my other response in this thread. The point I am trying to make (albeit unsuccessfully) is that this “social pressure” doesn’t bother me, per say. However, I DON’T UNDERSTAND why people concern themselves with my lifestyle, because I DON’T CONCERN MYSELF WITH THEIRS, NO MATTER HOW FUCKED UP THESE PEOPLE MAY BE OR APPEAR.

I see weird people all day long, and I never, NEVER would even think to say shit about them, especially to their face.

For instance, my university has a large “emo” population, and to be honest, a lot of these kids sport hair that is absurd, to say the least. One of these kids was kickin it at my buddies place the other day (they were working on a school project) while I was over there. Now, I could have made some jackass comment about his hair, but I kept my mouth shut. Why? Because its not my place to say shit about how he choses to look. If thats how he wants to appear, then I support his right to do so, AND I WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT COMMENTING ON IT, especially since I don’t really know him.

So are you guys getting the point? I’m not “self-absorbed” or “sensitive”. I’m simply trying to understand WHY people feel the need to involve themselves in other people’s lives.

But then again, no one will read this and still continue with the “dude, don’t be so sensitive” bullshit.

Have you even read my posts?

When I say don’t be sensitive, I don’t mean “don’t cry”.

I mean, when someone steps on your identity, step back on theirs so hard that they would never ever even masturbate thinking about a beautiful woman who would dare suggest to them to make a disrespectful comment to you.

Your problem is that instead of shooting back a cocky one-liner, you’re writing about it on a forum. You really want to find out why they do it?

I f****ng explained it in my last post. The fact that you make choices that make you a better person, choices that they are too lazy to make, constitutes social pressure.

They are just shooting that pressure right back at you.

Now, you can take it, or shove it down their hungry throats.

This is the point. You’re in the minority, and the majority need to validate their ignorance. If you’re in the right, you don’t NEED to fuck with them to feel RIGHT. However, they feel threatened, because you are making them feel inferior. They’re too lazy to make a change, so they simple try to justify their way of existence by ragging on you.

I’m sure it’s an age old tatic. In my opinion, whoever dies last and still relatively healthy ( if you get my drift… ) WINS.

Would they still be ragging on you 20 years from now, while chomping down snickers bars from their comfy chairs, when they’re 400 lbs? You bet, because they’ll still need to make themselves believe that they are right.

Stop making fun of my flannel shirts. I’ll throw my 5 gallon water bottle at you if you don’t.

Just read this shit you clowns are writing. One word: HOMOEROTIC.

You’re hung up on what people think and say about you. Boo hoo hoo! Now if that’s not true girly-girly-girly-man shit, I don’t know what is!

Put on a fucking dress. You can’t be no T-MAN.

No. If you go through life letting people “rag on you”, no matter how long and healthy your life, you have not lived it properly.

No, asshole. Because they called them a species. Reading comprehension really isn’t your thing, apparently.

Now THAT’S lame.

I also sometimes feel that my meals are the social events of the day for some people. First comes the dumb “deer-in-headlights” stare, followed by stupid questions like “How come you’re constantly on a diet yet you’re still big”

Occasionally when I start getting stupid semi-joking commentaries from lard asses (“My my, that much cottage cheese HAS to be unhealthy”) I play the freak card to the full, just for my enjoyment.

So the conversation goes somewhere along the following lines:

“Do you do anything else except lift weights all day?”

“No. I’m in the gym for AT LEAST six hours a day. I don’t sleep. I don’ go out. When I don’t lift, I try to make my muscles grow using auto-suggestion techniques”

I found out that after such stupid responses, the person asking the questions feels relieved that there’s “something wrong” with me

Usually people making idiotic comments are using this as a method of self-protection. They like to delude themselves (sometimes unconciously) that there’s something wrong with you. Because otherwise you would expose their crappy lifestyle to the fullest.

Nor mature or anything that looks like a man. Internet tough guys never realize how ridiculous they look in print. His insecurities shine through on each of his posts on this thread.
