Yes.
A 6 year old child pointed out I have breasts and should wear a bra just like her mom.

What the hell do you say in situations like this? It’s too flattering.

I respond one of two ways.
Serious-“Eh, it’s a work in progress”
Insulting But Still Serious-“Yeah, I actually work”
just saw this as someones status update on facebook
“I love seeing like older guys that are like body builders with their little dumb ass looking cars and their little dogs like come on grow some fucking balls and be a real man.”
It’s all synthol.

WTF does this even mean? Is it a stereotype I’m not aware of that bodybuilders have stupid cars and tiny dogs?
maybe the person that said this enjoys LSD?

LOL.
People just seem to hate anyone who stands out. When the fuck did bodybuilders get sterotyped as having “little dumbass cars”? If they are really big, how the hell do they fit in a “small dumbass car”?

Poor Dogs they are little because they can’t lift weights =(
I was just in my high school weight room. I want to commit suicide.
Someone made about a dozen signs about putting away weights in bright, pretty colors and terrible slogans. They’re everywhere!!! And the folks can’t even spell. One sign literally said, “Put away your crap. Put away yoiur wigehts.” Another says, “Don’t be wack. Put away your crap.” Yet another says, “Clean the bar, tough guys.”
Then, there was a fella dumbbell benching 70’s for five wearing wrist wraps. A 6’ 140 lb. fella was standing by him, mouth agape in amazement. I thought he must be joking, so I asked him if he was impressed or something. He looked up genuinely astonished and said, “Oh my God yeah.”
I’m never going there again.

I love it when chicks with more than 30% body fat tell me that I have “huge” arms! Hahahaha… you mean because I have a SLIGHTLY rounded shoulder and you can see some tricep definition that means my arms are HUGE? Riiiiight…
(that’s the same reason they don’t want to lift… they don’t want to get “too bulky.” Ummm… too late!)
OK… one more rant:
I love how they can give unsolicited comments about how THEY THINK my body looks… but if I were to comment on what I thought of their body, I would be considered rude… [/quote]
BINGO! I hate that double standard. If a fat guy accuses you of being on steroids or “Living at the Gym”, it’s ok.
But if you even call him “overweight”…not even obese… you’re an asshole.
[/quote]
There’s that and then there’s also when people touch your arms or shoulders and make the “do you work out comment” I don’t grab a woman’s tits and say “are these implants?”[/quote]
HAHAHA!
Because of the flooding tonight, i had to stick to my local yuppie gym that has 1 squat rack, and of course it was free because no one uses it except for curls. So i rep out 3 sets of 405 to a low bench, and everyone looks at me like I’m a freak. Talk about a self esteem boost… - lol
But seriously, I know guys who squat 200 lbs more than I do, and I think THAT is insane.
I’ts cool now n then gettign comments, but in the overall picture, i think everone(in a regular gym) is a dumbass.
A guy cant Bench press 225 for a 1RM, so the guy who can is automatically on steroids because YOU CANT DO IT!?
You’ve never witnesed 5 plates on a bar AT ALL on any lift, so the guy deadlifting it must be doing drugs?
I just think it’s funny because i normally work out around people who surpass me on every lift by at least 100 lbs…

I am blessed with my weight room. It’s mostly athletes or seniors who were athletes but their seasons are over that train there. Even though some of them do stupid shit, as a teammate, unsolicited comments on what they are doing wrong is fine.
The guy who cuts my hair asked me if I was going to be coming in with a beard next time.
I thought I was never going to get steroid jokes – I’m not muscular – but apparently people really are like that.

Did the kid’s mom have a beard?
The other day when I told my coworker my goals at the gym he only asked me “Why would you want your arms to look like your legs?”

You shrug AND deadlift in the same workout? No wonder you need to eat children.
