Footsoldier and spencer - I hope you guys have some brains to go along with your muscle, if not it is likely that you’ll end up working for the pencilnecks who’s ass you want to kick. As far as attraction goes for women, it changes over time. As women get older they determine attractiveness of a man by his ability to succeed and provide for a family. So, forget attracting every girl in school based on your muscles and concentrate on getting a good education which will lead to a successful life. That’s what will really attract the best women.
A handsome face on a T-man body, now THAT is worth a second look. Unattactive with muscles is better IMO than pretty boy with none. Brad Pitt and Ricky Martin are just too damn skinny. But then again, I’ve never been the average woman. Hey guys, seing as there are so few fit women, doesn’t it suck to rarely find a woman who works as hard on her body as you guys do? Or is it good enough for her to be slender and curvacious? (I’m married so I’m not looking, just curious if you feel like you are settling)
ironbabe, no offense, but I have never personally been attracted to a girl who is muscular. Now, granted, a girl who is somewhat slender, and ‘tone’ (if you know what I mean) is perfect, but not muscular. Too masculine. That’s just my personal preference though, but most of my friends that I have talked to feel the same way.
Thou doeth protest too loudly. Translation you are jealous. My guess you are one of those big guys who cannot carry on an intelligent conversation with a woman about what she wants to talk about. Watch American pie and learn what women want. I am also guessing you sit there with your weight lifting buddies and never approach beautiful women and if you do you sound like Gomer Pile. Translation learn to flirt all that shit. I see lots of “big” guys who are the most insecure childish fucks I have ever met chicks can see that shit a mile away. As far as pencil necks and you teaching them lessons on the wrestling mat. That cracks me up as the quickest best form technical bar non wrestlers I have seen are little quick strong MF. I have watched many 130lbser with great form kick ass all over super heavy’s on the mat. I have also watched glass jawed “big” insecure fuckes get knocked the fuck out in one shot from little wirry fuckers. Don’t ever forget that momentume or power is weight times acceleration. Tranlsation you may get a very brief however very effective physics lesson.
Ironbabe, it is very frustrating. Last year I got together with a girl who had the most amazing body I had ever laid eyes on … but when in bed and I started grabbing her butt cheeks, etc., it was all flab. And this was so confusing! It was like I was kneeding dough! But let’s be honest … if I looked that good and didn’t have to work out, I probably wouldn’t no matter how I felt in someone’s grasp. But, I must say, I love the appearance of toned abs, shoulders, triceps, buttox … the list goes on. Keep up the good work!
Dammit I bust my ass working out and can bench 350 pounds and still no one likes me. Here I am all alone admiring my gigantic tris in the bathroom mirror and some skinny dude is balling the head cheerleader. There are all sorts of benefits to pumping iron but it does not automatically made the pussy come running. You whiners crack me up–wanting to go around and beat people up cause they are skinny and knockin’ the boots while you wonder why it ain’t you. Grow the fuck up; dam near no one is gonna want to hang around and listen to you growl at each other and pose for each other and generally display the misplaced agression and jealousy and insecurity you show here. Maybe if you were just a little cooler dude some honey would give you a taste.
ironbabe…yes, it does suck.
I’m not talking about a “muscle chick.” I’m talking about the result in a woman’s body from proprer nutrition and weight training. I’m sure as heck not trying to get too muscular, I already have one man in my family.
What’s with all the tension!? Anyways just thought I’d throw in my opinion. I like to preach that you shouldn’t use your physique to pick up chicks, although I guess we all do it sometimes. I think some of you should go back and read TC’s article “Heresy?” from issue 138. " A lot of women say that they don’t care that much about a man’s body, but we’re not interested in what Oprah and her acolytes want out of a man." He sums this situation up pretty well in there. Also, knuckledragger, the momentum that is transfered from an object when it collides with another object is a product of mass and velocity, so technically, a heavier fist would hurt more, given it travelled at the same speed. Sorry, studying physics is gettin’ to me.
i will say this, the only way a skinny little pencil neck will beat a big strong man, is if he has some special fight training. Cause lets face it, u take a guy who can bench press over 500lbs, he would crush to death any little pencil neck like nothing. when a guy who weighs what u normal curl for reps, he is not going to stand a chance against u. i don’t care how fast he is, that means nothing, sugar ray leonard was faster than mike tyson, but who would win a boxing match, nuff said. and as far as joyce gracie goes, he would get killed if he ever fought the guys that are fighting now. he was good, when it first began, but the guys ruling now, are big strong guys who can wrestle. theres an old saying thats as true today as it has always been “a good big man, will always beat, a good little man”, thats a fact of life.
Call me crazy but I think maybe girls want just a bit more than mass. First of all, I am willing to bet that half of you guys posting and claiming to be “huge and still not getting any girls” have I-Think-I’m-Muscular-But-Really-I’m-Just-Fat-Syndrome. But, givin ya the benefit of the doubt and assuming you are the big bad dudes you claim, doesnt mean shit.
You talk as if though you can just walk down the hall at school and beat anyone’s ass. Ok, maybe you can. Try that when you’re out of high school and in the real world, where your pathetic sorry asses will be tossed into jail so quick you’ll choke on your protein shakes and will be instead taking it up the ass from Bruno in the next cell. Or worse yet, you will simply get your ass beat by someone bigger and badder than you. Real T-Men are not animals who compete for chicks just because they can knock the most heads. You can’t just “step into a wrestling ring” with someone who pisses you off in life because they are simply smarter and or more successful than you–sorry the world doesnt work that way. Not that it matters, but just so you don’t think I’m saying all this because I’m a “pencil neck”; I’m far from one, trust me. For your own sakes, grow up. While you’re at it, take a shower, buy some nice clothes, get a haircut and throw on some cologne. If you still cant score with the ladies, it simply means you have no balls…somtin ur nemesis 'neck probably does.
As for pencil-pussies,fuckum.For every girl that likes a pretty boy there are 2 that like big MEN, not because you can bench 400, becuae they feel safe,this is if you’re not a big PUSSY. Now a body builder can’t even wipe his own ass let alone swing a punch. You “T-men” that think you’re the shit because you can bench 500"with a shirt lol", you only do 2 things lying on your back sleep and fuck. Do some real fuckin lifts, clean and jerk, snatches. A man that weighs 130 and can snatch 300 would do way more damage than a 500lb bencher. I love T-mag but get off the bench.
to clarify things… cromagnon… i have a 4.0 and i will be the valedictorian of my class. And also I get muchos chicas… many girls… i just dont like the shit heads who think they are all bad when in reality they would get their shit kicked…ok end of story… well actually they get girls because girls think they are hot because they arent as muscualr as me… some girls think im too muscular… if thats possible. but the girls that like the muscualrity. like me… IM not some wrestler with an ugly mug… hehe sorry if i got you guys in a swivet
damnit i missed another thing… the pretty boys im talking about are dumber than dogshit and all they do is supe up their volkswagons. its all theyre choice… and the girls seem to like the guys that go out and drink and smoke pot… haah oh well who will be laughing when im the doctor making tons of money and theyre broke asses will be sittin in a box
don’t let your mouth write checks your ass can’t cash. You can take that state championship and cram it up your…well you know where:-)
Ummmmmm, Who gives a sheet???
Wow…talk about misinterpretation. I am about 160 in the offseason but I get down to 130 to wrestle. To everybody who dissed me saying I am an insecure fuck…please read this. I AM NOT SAYING THAT I JUDGE PEOPLE AS “PENCILNECKS” WHEN I SEE THEM. But when you get to know them, they are wealthy (just a common characteristic), lazy, drug-users who fail every class and sit on their asses all day with parents that are supporting them the whole way through. Now know that these are the same guys posing as toughmen…now if this doesn’t piss you off…
And for those of you that said I’m probably some anti-social dickhead…please read this. I AM VERY POPULAR WITH GIRLS…IT’S THE FACT THAT THESE SAME GUYS THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED ARE ALMOST AS POPULAR. Hope I cleared stuff up.

I have to agree with jonnyjon. Last year I did a training operation with the 1st Battalion of the US Army Rangers. Though they are just about the most overtrained guys this side of professional triathletes (500-1000 pushups, and 200+ chinups a day, every day), and their average weight was all of 155 at 5’10" tall, I don’t think I could find many of you guys who would want to step into a ring, or a war torn second world nation’s village, against them. Oh, and not one of the members of the platoon had a neck as big as me, and mine is only 17 inches. Just a thought, lest we start to believe that skill in one area leads to skill in another.
OK time for the whopper two cents. Guys, 99.9% of it is about confidence. Now I am married, however, I played the game for a long long time…and have never had an issue finding female companionship. This is not a brag…so do not bust on my ass…I am telling you how it is…and I think the ladies would back me up. IT IS ABOUT CONFIDENCE. All you youngins dont realize, it isnt about the muscles…it isnt about fighting ability…it is what those two things CAUSE…confidence. Walk into a bar…with your head slumped…your shoulders slouched…and guess what…even if your Brad Pitt…you aint getting no play. An average guy walking in with head held high…comfortable talking to any girl…having self confidence is gonna beat out “Joe Stud” who just thinks his 18" guns are gonna make the ladies swoon. I have seen that MANY times…I walked into a bar…after getting the crap kicked out of me in a business sense…I am drained…slumped…and beat up…I have a few with a buddy…but my whole body language says “I am toast” When that is the case…I have NEVER been approached. Now, when I walk in…after closing a big deal…or having a great day…I walk in pumped…head held high…feeling like I own the place…THAT is when I get ladies coming up to me…talking to me…flirting with me. Guys when you lift…it gives YOU confidence…which is picked up by the ladies…the same with the martial arts…women like confident men…not beer confidence…TRUE confidence. The muscles and the fighting ability are more about giving you what YOU need…a quiet sense of confidence…women pick up on that far better then men ever could. Ask a bunch of women…and they will tell you…they have hooked up with a guy or two…not because he was gorgeous…not because he was built like addonis…but because he had “something about him”…that something…was confidence…not cockiness…and it works guys.
Some guys strut and pose as tough guys, then fold when the shit hits the fan, they can be big or small. The older I get the easier it is to pick those fakers out.
A real T-man hangs in there, and takes responsibility for his actions, finds humor in difficult situations and lets you lean on him a bit as he helps you back on your own two feet. They come in all shapes and sizes…I just happen to like mine on the big side
