I dealt with it by responding in an extremely positive way to everything she said and asking to meet the amazing person. This tactic deflated her a bit and she would back off. If her mom’s hairdresser was in such great shape that she made me look fat by comparison, I would say “That’s awesome! Good for her, she must be really dedicated. I’d love to meet her, where does she work?” Since “mom’s hairdresser” didn’t exist she didn’t know what to say.[/quote]
One of my favorite tactics to get them to STFU.

So do you say your piece then and there or do you go home and post it on T NATION. The point is, I saw nothing to get the fruit of looms in a bunch about. People make stupid comments every day. Someone always knows someone bigger, or stronger. Who cares?[/quote]
assuming we still care, atleast a little bit…
The twit chose to take a negative approach to the OP. When he could’ve had a little admiration. OR, a third option, say nothing at all(easy and everyones happy). 2 out of the 3 choices are cool, one isn’t.
I’m not gonna lie, If I see someone who’s bigger than me (or worse yet my size, more of a competitive feeling) I have an immediate feeling of insecurity (probably natural, or im just fucked in the head) for 1-2 seconds, then I remind myself that hey, this guy does the same type of stuff I like to do he’s just been doing it for longer and is better at it then me, maybe we could be friends and he could teach me a thing or two (I’m quick to strike up conversations and ask questions).
I’d probably say my piece then go post on T-Nation. The punk displayed his low-quality personality and it’s a common trait that deserves to be discussed, so here we are. Just your run of the mill everyday jealous/insecure/one-upsmanship. The OP was maybe just a little curious as to how others deal with it.
It bugs me how much I care sometimes.[/quote]
And I’m more inclined to be friendly, ask them questions and learn from them. As a result, I’ve broken through a plateau which literally held me back for 6 months.
Why are men acting like boys these days? If you can’t man up and take digs for being big and muscular, then stop fucking weight training and get small again. Simple.[/quote]
But…you aren’t big.
LOL. What makes this some really funny shit…is all of the little dudes running out to tell someone WAY fucking bigger and more developed than they are to suck it up…when not one of them likely experiences anything like what the OP may get daily.
Yeah, if it happens to you once a decade, I am sure it didn’t [phase you at all.
Get back to us when you finally get fed up with the 12,000th person making the same stupid comment.
I had yet another person use the phrase, “so you workout?”. In the moment, I smile, joke around and move on. That won’t stop me from mentioning it here if it happens enough to stay on my mind at all.
…and frankly, all of you little fuckers can kiss my ass if you have a problem with it.

Dude, seriously, you’re coming off like some size queen. If you can’t handle awkward, stupid, thoughtless comments, go live in a cave or stop doing what it is you do to make yourself stand out. You’re like a guy that wears a bright red shirt everyday and complains because people comment about his bright red shirt. Either stop wearing bright red shirts or learn to live with the comments. And again, did you actually read this retarded OP? The villain is “gay”, can’t even squat his bodyweight, wife is probably getting banged by a trainer, some random reference to “intimidation”. Are you fucking serious? THIS is the post where you decide to make a stand? Or do you have a soft spot for this guy b/c he’s “big”?[/quote]
What I want is for this board to quit acting like there is some weird kind of division between the “bodybuilders” on this site and “everyone else”. Any time one of these guys stands out at all, this seems to happen…and seeing how many dumbass threads pop up daily, how the fuck did this one get the nomination for dumbest thread worthy of your all bouncing presence?
This thread didn’t warrant this reaction unless there are shit load more jealous people here than they would like for people to know.
