Sour Grapes and The Under 200 Crowd

Off Topic
1

I was just reminded of my one my favorite fables:

“A hungry fox passed below a fine bunch of grapes hanging high from a vine. After trying in vain to jump and reach them he gave up, saying to himself as he walked off, ‘the grapes looked ripe, but I see now they are quite sour.’”

Thus, every little guy says: “Those guys who are over 200 pounds are fatties, and they can’t get girls. Little guys like me are WHAT WOMEN WANT.”

I was a very lean 200 lbs., and relatively lean 215 lbs. It was a nice gig.

Random women come would come to me in bars and squeeze my biceps and rub their hands across my pecs and shoulders. They also liked the feelings of safety.

You see… As a big guy, people move out of your way and give you respect that little guys don’t get. Unsurpringly, this turns women on.

In other words, the grapes ARE very sweet. Don’t give up. Keep reaching. You will reach 200 lbs. some day.

Don’t be like the fox who quit because reaching the grapes took too much effort.

How tall are you?

Your generalities are your weakness. Respect is earned. I laugh at the dudes like you who think they are the shit or think they get respect because they are “big”.

You sure do love yourself. Good luck with that.

Then you went and punched out God and shit on the devil. After that you gave Ronnie Coleman some tips on how to be a mass monster.

I wonder if your ego could possibly get any bigger?

Since when is 200 pounds the “marker” for a big guy. I am 205, and I don’t feel like I am some sort of omnipresent hulk.

I do notice that if I am walking on the same side of a sidewalk as someone who is walking towards me, they will scoot over.

Where in heck do you come up with that one? Brahahahahahahaha.

I don’t get it…grapes make you big?

Squats and grapes?

I don’t understand what anybody’s talking about anymore.

I’m with Barney here. I’m 205 as well, and lean enough to see some abs, which might sound pretty big. It probably would be, if I was 5’10" or shorter. However, at 6’2", I’m still pretty skinny.

While this thread is stupid I suggest you go read the latest postings in TC’s 3rd Sex Atomic Dog.

Every time I post that “that is the dumbest thing ever posted here!”,

someone comes along and posts something even dumber.

You were much better off when you were buddying up to Go Heavy Fool than you are out on your own.

If I were to get up to 200 at a low bf%, I would look very jacked, where as a 6’4" guy wouldn’t.

I’m going to shoot for around 185lbs with approximately 12ish% bf and I feel I will like that look while competing in powerlifting. Right now I’m 175 with about 10 more pounds of fat to lose before bulking again, so I figure I should reach my goal in about 1.5 to 2 years (10 pounds of fat loss, then 20 pounds of muscle gain).

I shouldn’t be puny by that time (besides my height that is), and I’d still be under 200 pounds.

Yeah, but that’s because you folks from Kansas don’t bathe much. :wink:

You sound like the stereotypical meat-head. So you can eat lots of food and lift heavy stuff, so what?

If people respect you for that then fine but their respect cant really be worth that much.

What do you actually contribute to the world?

Now someone who is over say 250 and lean, that gets some respect due to the time and dedication the person has put in.

Cept its other kansians that step aside.

same. 205, 6’2. i feel tiny and regularly sit down and eat until i can barely move just cause i feel so damn skinny.

17

I’m 195lbs and reasonably lean, but I still feel like a skinny bastard at almost 6’. To remedy this, I am going to finish my first Spike shooter and go start WS4SB for the 2nd time. Then go buy a gallon of milk and some eggs, and eat about 3 more meals before I go to bed tonite.

18

200 lbs short ain’t even remotely big unless you’re my height [5’7-5’8]. If you’re 6ft or thereabouts, it’s exceedingly average.

But it’s as silly to say that every smaller guy wants to get really big and hasn’t been able to and has sour grapes as it is to say that there are no woman who appreciate bigger guys.
