I’ve been told this on a few different occasions, granted I’m not huge by any means just fit.
“Why are you trying to get so big for? Most body builders are gay, you know that right?”
I guess the thinking here is most women aren’t attracted to Hyyyuge men, therfor anyone thats size must be gay.
Or what I hear all the time from females:
“I don’t work out cuz I don’t wanna be one of those girls who are all buff and look like guys”.
-My response, I like that my girl works out cuz I don’t want her to be one of those girls who looked good in highschool cuz her metabolism was high, but blows up like a balloon when she hits 30.

If you’ve got a degree from U of H I’d just assume A&M said no, as did San Jac Jr. College and Lamar.
Texas A&M Class of '95, yeah, I’m hating. [/quote]
Low blow,brah. Im sorry our mommies and daddies didnt pay for our tuition.
“Oh, you lift weights? I’ll make sure to stay on your good side!”
Yeah, lifting weights gives me such roid rage. It’s amazing how a barbell will magically overcome the limitations imposed on me by my gender and pharmacy selection…
“You must be on P90x!”
“Do you play football?” (I am 27 and at work, WTF kind of football would I be playing)
“My uncle used to look like you but then it all turned to fat”
“He keeps steroids in his locker” (Actually WalMart whey protein)
Favorite: Hot 16ish chick at the gym looks over at me and says “Do you take anything to be that…big?”
I started to give her some supplement advice and she stops me “Not for me, it’s for my boyfriend, he works out all the time and always stays so small.”

“Baby, I used to be big like that”
“What happened?”
*Couple walks off with no response to that question.
“I bet you lift weights!!”
*I was about 290lbs at the time.
“Does that hurt?”
“Does what hurt?”
“Your skin…doesn’t it hurt to be that big?”
There are tons more but they are usually variations of the above…because none of them are as clever as they think they are.
I agree, some of these people would flip if we acted the same way to those people riding scooters in grocery stores.[/quote]
Absolutely F/N Right!! In Vegas last week, my wife and I spot (not that hard to do) a couple, both about 350/400lbs on scooters. A true matching pair. My first thought is: wouldn’t it make sense to walk the strip and lose some of that weight? But that would’nt be polite.

I used to be a runner…that was two years and and 30lbs ago…
I ran a 5k last weekend and one of my old running comrads was like “DUDE!!!..You got ARMS and CHEST!”. I said, “Yeah, I got legs too, they just don’t run as well as they used to”. Lots of runner types telling me that “oh you’ll get back in shape again”…Define “in shape”
I was asked once if I play rugby!?!? I guess being 5’5’ 180lb is good for the scrum!
“Protein shakes gives you cancer!”
“You’ll be fat like the rest of us.”
“Jesus never lifted any weights.”
“I can still beat you up.”
“You need to work on yourself on the inside more.”
As you can see,I have to disagree with some of you guys who say that none of these comments are original. Some of them really are.
Not “swole” by any means, but the single weirdest comment ever:
While talking about the movie Apocalypse Now:
Friend: “I would think you’d identify with the crazy guy in the helicopter [Col. Kilgore.]”
Me: “Huh?”
Friend: “Well, you’re manly, right? All that weightlifting?”
I lift weights. I do not spray napalm to the strains of Ride of the Valkyries. Itty bitty difference there.
