^The guy sitting there in tiny shorts while everybody else was dressed reminded me of this!
I’m sure nobody wants to see her with her clothes off, but fair is fair. Imagine the stress of being on TV. Now be on TV in your swim trunks, while everybody else is fully dressed. There is a difference.

Yes. Yes it is.

That guy handled himself with a lot of class.
I wonder how the woman would have acted if the producers had made her wear a bathing suit, so she was dressed more like the bodybuilder. I doubt if she would have been able to sound so sure of herself.
I wondered how how she felt about it after watching herself on TV. She comes off as bitter and condescending. It made me wonder what body builders ever did to her? Her attitude is what makes her so unattractive. It reminded me of this quote, â??Criticism is an indirect form of self-boasting.â?? Emmet Fox. By tearing him down, she was implying that being overweight and sedentary is a better way to go.
I guess people want to justify their lifestyle, to the extent of being threatened by somebody else who chooses a different path? I can’t understand why she seems so angry.

Perhaps because she knows a guy like him would never go for a frump like her.
As someone mentioned earlier, if later he made advances toward her in a local pub, she’d be in his arms in a heartbeat. Although now that I think of it, her reason for doing so would have less to do with her attraction to him, than the flattery she felt. Kind of like someone being in love with the idea of love, and not the person.
lol
All I know is, that was a hell of a lot of hate for someone who was basically just sitting there and taking it.
I could see if he was acting like an asshole, but he wasn’t.
That means something in those people makes them lash out emotionally…just because they see someone with bigger muscles than them.
It’s just jealousy. It also isn’t just in Germany. It’s on T-Nation too.
I do believe some idiot just called Hallowed fat in the bodybuilding section.
These jackasses are everywhere.

lol really? Are you gonna tell me the thread or do I have to search for it?

I agree. But it doesn’t even have to be a jealousy over muscle size. It could well be a jealousy over the target’s full focus and drive to succeed (not to mention the positive attention he receives for his achievements).
Insecure people hate it because being around these successful ambitious people is like holding a mirror up to their own fears and shortcomings.
lol Hallowed fat?
No but seriously, there are some mean people in Germany. I’ve visited there on two occasions for a gute amount of Zeit, some people there are very unfriendly. I didn’t know if it was because I was an American or whatever, or if that is just how they are (which I think is the case).

It’s like the reverse of the boy in the playground who pulls the pigtails of the girl he fancies to make her cry, because that’s the only way he can get himself noticed.
I don’t know how accurate the translation was, but her way of coaxing the soccer player into taking his top off was pretty telling: “show us your muscles!”

Yes. Hallowed is very “phat”.
I have nothing constructive to add to the thread that hasn’t been brought up, so I weighed in with this obvious statement of fact.
I thought that video lady in the purple was Hallowed?

lmao I thought I was the only one who noticed these gems.
This kinda reminds of all the lameness thats in the “Squat Rack Curl” thread those guys that post in there are just as douchy as these people insulting Rockel.
I feel like people are taking this show entirely too seriously. I’ve never been on an actual talk show - maybe I just refuse to believe that this shit is real life. It’s like reality television - a couple of dumb ass people, b/c the show goes entirely over their heads, talk about how retarded Flava Flave or The Situation are out of some need to believe there actually exist people out there who are worse off than them. It’s like people’s sarcasm/hilarity detectors are utterly and forever broken - how can you not enjoy the absurdity of The Situation or the people on this show… shit is clearly a front and I think it’s damn funny…
It was mostly Fit vs. Fat, because the Fat people feel bad about themselves when seeing someone else in good shape so they attack. It’s human nature to fear (and then attack) things that are different to us, doesn’t matter if its a bodybuilder, a Communist, an immigrant, a “Moslem” or anything else that’s not “normal” in the eyes of beholder.

It’s manufactured in the sense that the producers are trying to set up conflict (which is the whole point of sensationalist chat shows), but not scripted to a set outcome. If it was, Ronny Rockel would have started throwing chairs around to propagate the stereotype.
He put himself out there, faced an audience who were only prepared to jeer whoever came onstage and acquitted himself like a man.
Sitch is not even in the same category. Everything he has done is a career move. He is successful, but nobody buys the Sitch t-shirts with the transparent ab window as a statement of irony; nobody buys the protein vodka he endorses because it’s a legit post workout drink. They buy them because they aspire to be like him.
The funny thing is, people who look like shit openly bag on people who take care of themselves because they (look like shit people) take those people’s dedication as an ASSAULT on their way of life.
I stopped drinking/smoking just about 3 years ago. Even to this day, around people who are well aware that I don’t drink/smoke anymore, I still get folks who are taken ABACK that I don’t smoke/drink, as if it is some judgment on THEM. That’s what blows my mind. They look at me like they have to defend themselves, until I say, “How’s the beer? That used to be one of my favorites,” or something to that effect so they know that yes, I used to drink at one point and no, it’s not a judgment on them.
Ironically, THOSE types are the ones overly concerned with image, NOT the people they are attacking/demonizing.
I can think of no other reason more common for people judging harshly others who want to be dedicated to their lifting an nutrition. They say stupid shit like, “Oh, you must be really into yourself…” No, bitch, you’re just INSECURE.
You telling me how I view the world is just proof of how YOU view the world and nothing more, so thanks for showing everyone your hand.
