x2 [just pulling a DebraD here :D]

The mods should just out the regulars who have troll accounts if the IP’s or emails match. I doubt anyone else would consider it an abuse of power or anything, and it would make things a lot better.

HAHA!

Consider it a mother’s day gift(I can’t remember if you are or aren’t one, if not bank it for the future!)

From my personal experience, my biggest and most athletic weight was about 245 when I was playing rugby at 28 years old. I was treated a lot differently at that weight than when I was 180 or so.

Most guys will know what I’m talking about here: you know when you are moving through a crowded bar and dudes will intentionally get in your way, or not move (or even stick an elbow out)? When I was 245, that shit NEVER happened - they parted like the red fucking sea. Of course, most of the time I had half a super league rugby team with me LOL.

Even now at around 215 - 220, I sometimes get little “unsolicited display behaviors” directed at me. People definitely judge you by your appearance. When I was in prison, I was only 150 - 165 (I was 18 - give me a break!) I got fucked with A LOT. I know how to handle myself, so it “ended well”, but every time I moved cell blocks or went to a different facility, it was the same old fucking routine - I had to kick someone’s ass before I got any respect.

As for women, I would definitely say that different chicks dig different things - you can’t classify them all. But I will say that when I was heavier, I got laid LESS than when I was lighter… But then you could make the correlation that I was training more, practicing more, traveling more to play games (with a bunch of cock-blocking neanderthals LOL) so I had less time invested in chasing trim. So I’m not really sure that it made that much of a difference… For every chick that I “intimidated”, there was a chick that would come up to me and say, “wow, your big” (translation: I want to fuck you). So the ratio was probably about the same, even if the volume was less.

And that’s all I’ve got to say about that <<>>

I act like an abrasive jerk and tell people what I think of them quite readily. Then, if people tell me I’m being rude, I just say that they must be jealous of my muscularity and that they are judging me by my muscles and that they just don’t like to hear the bitter truth from my muscles.

Oh, also, chicks dig me big time. If they don’t, it’s because they are scared of my muscles and they must therefore be interested in guys who wear really tight jeans.

My training partner and I moved from South Wales to Birmingham around a year ago - in South Wales weight training is part of the culture and most young guys train with weights to varying degrees - meaning that there are quite a lot of big guys walking around.

Up in Birmingham, apart from a few hotspots, practically nobody does in terms of percentage of the population. So there are big people, but they’re far more spread out. Myself and my training partner (I’m 265lbs, he’s around 285) go out for food after training one night a week after training, and some of the looks we get are ridiculous - it’s bad when we’re each on our own, but when there’s two of us it’s massively intensified. We walk into a regular place that we go and all of the other customers literally turn in their seats to look.

Guys either give us the “I’m not impressed by you” look, or the bro-handshake respect thing. Girls seem either curious or terrified, generally.

In reality, we all like different attributes in men, because, we are ALL DIFFERENT.

I don’t have experience with older women - all the women I’ve dated have been between 18 and 24.

You guys are both hovering around 40, perhaps it’s quite different at that stage.[/quote]

Yet you feel qualified to speak like you’re knowledgeable about women. Lesson here for you: you don’t know what you’re talking about![/quote]

I’m speaking in regards to the age group of women I date.

You’re right I should’ve pointed that in my previous post, but I stand by what I wrote about women in that age group.

[/quote]

This is in contrast to the inexperienced teenagers referenced? You don’t think 18-24 year-olds fit that?

Anyway, you’ve taken your massive generalization and excluded probably 80% of women (just made that number up, don’t know how many are in that age group) and then if you eliminate women who aren’t you’re type and aren’t in a big city or small city and…

[/quote]

I already said I meant to direct my comments at the 18-24 crowd.

Look, I know why you’re debating me on this, it’s because you’re a woman and my comments probably offend you.

But I don’t think I need to sleep with a woman in every city in Canada to make this statement.

Why don’t you ask guys who regularly date women in the 18-24 age range that you deem “experienced” as to what they think of my statement?

She probably couldn’t find one because experienced men date women 25 and older.

As far as the thread is concerned i’m not a big guy yet but i’m at the stage where average people are making comments and I’d agree with what most others have said. It makes you polarizing. There is either a mutual respect or a dislike/jealousy from other guys. The girls seem to look my way more but being a shy guy and always having some kind of random band shirt that no one knows usually turns them off enough they don’t approach me anyway. [/quote]

Got you beat brother:

It’s the opposite with me. It’s like the bigger i get, the more people try to start shit with me as if the bigger i get, the less friendly/more willing to fight i am? This is probably because we are at college parties though, where fights are small and usually harmless. You are probably used to a very different kind of fighting… hah

Yeah - when I was in prison, half the fights started with the phrase, “blood on my knife or shit on my dick…” so yeah, BIG difference! LOL

I think some other ladies see me as competition sometimes … I’m not competitive and don’t care … I obviously don’t make female friends very easily

I get more attention from chicks when I am lean

I think it has everything to do with my face and nothing to do with my physique

When I am lean my jaw line and facial features are more defined/chisled, when I am in full bulk mode I carry fat on my face and it makes me look completely different

In my experience Strong/outgoing personality>Face>Physique with getting attention from chicks.

My friends are usually complimentary of my progress, random ppl at bars don’t usually comment on my physique lol def notice less shoulders and ppl will get out of your way quicker when im bigger but who knows

The sooner you stop worrying about what some broad wants or likes, the more of them you’ll get. Muscles or not.

None of you make female friends easily, mostly because you all recognize that you’re all insane but never admit it out loud.

Best post.

…and if that doesn’t work, get more money.

I swear your exact muscle size is the last thing on some chick’s mind.
