This statement is simply not true. if you were going to ask what my idea of what a man is supposed to be is, huge muscles would not be part of the list even though above average concern for strength and physical shape would be.
Many of the people on this site do much more than just lift weights. Many here are highly educated, well above what most people ever achieve. Many here have families they take care of. Many here have jobs that require a very well rounded look at all things that requires skill that most will never attain.
All these would go into what creates “the ideal man or women”…but this is a bodybuilding/weightlifting website…which means if we can do all of that shit and still stand out physically, don’t bitch and complain about your lack of time to train or degrade those of us for standing out physically.
I understand what the OP meant because I experience it…often on this site. Many of the people here are just like what the OP discussed…jackasses who think they deserve the same respect for much lesser achievement.[/quote]
Excuse me, I did say ideal man, but I meant to say the Ideal physique for a man. I wasn’t implying that people on this site believe a “real man” has to be big. I was saying that people on this site assume that everyone wants to be big or think big men are attractive and therefor the ideal physique. Thats just not true. I’ve seen a lot of threads on this site where people claim that girls just say they don’t want their bf’s to be too big but in reality they really like big muscular men.
I just think some people on this site have the misconception that everyone envys or is attracted to muscular powerful men. Sorry to break it to everyone but that isn’t true. That may be what we at this site strive for, but out in the real world people my shit on your goals/accomplishments for no other reason then they disagree with them. They don’t necessarily say it because they can’t accomplish it, they say it because they honestly think it’s a waste of time and their priorities are else where.
Not EVERYONE hates on muscular people because they’re jealous is all i’m getting at. People have different preferences and may cap on your physique just like people here cap on fat people. To each their own.

Dude, I have never written anything like that anywhere and most here don’t either as far as thinking AL people want or like big muscles. What you often read is in retaliation to the “no one can get laid with big muscles” comments that get thrown around here so fucking often.
Like anything else, there are women who love it and some who associate it with much of the same negative shit the general public does. I will say that aside from women commenting about veins on pro bodybuilders, I don’t see many of these women who hate big muscles especially if a big wallet is attached to them.
I don’t lift for other people…but the way I look causes me to attract the comments and attention of others, which means, yes, if they keep saying stupid shit, excuse me if I ever rant about it once a fucking year.[/quote]
Oh don’t get me wrong I have no problem with you ranting about it. I was merely posting to the OP that he shouldn’t assume people who make shitty comments about his physique are jealous of him. I hate that mentality. I think you see that with young females alot, no offense to the females here. They think that if someone looks at them weird or says something to them they must be jealous. I think thats faulty logic but some of the responses in this thread seemed to be going in that direction.
