Hi everyone! Just love this site and forum, and been reading this for a while now. I just had to become part of you…
-lifting ‘‘strange’’ in my gym (doing squats 
)
-talking openly about my flaws and virtues
-for anything I say to people (obviously they needed to hear what I have to say)
-being happy because I do strange stuff (play football (not soccer), train like a freak)
-listening James Blunt and ambiental music
-Being completely calm, then randomly throwing the most massive shit-fit over something small and completely irrelevant (known as “nerdrage”)
-Gaming till 5am
-Showering 2-3 times a day
-Being a jacked dude with a small dog
-Being a BMW elitist jerk
-Buying items like gum with $100 bills
-Consistently late to first class (accounting 9:30 x4 days a week lol)
-Going drive through even if there’s like 20 cars an no-one inside
-Never buying cards -EVER- (GF excluded, I value my testicles)

Wtf? Whats wrong with IKEA? I just broke my drawer,I would normally be mad but it finally gave me an excuse to to to IKEA.[/quote]
Ikea is a black hole where hours and days can be swallowed whole (not to mention your wallet). Even worse if my wife goes too. Ikea is evil and must be stopped.

I fucking HATE Ikea! The whole concept of the store where they don’t have isles, they make you walk through the whole thing to get anywhere (“but there’s shortcuts…” I don’t want to learn where the fucking short cuts are!) I also understand the market psychology behind why they set the store up that way (to promote impulse buying) and it’s like a fucking insult to my intelligence! And if a girl asks you to go with her, she stops and looks at every shiny, cool thing that she’ll never use… Waste of existence! I refuse to go anymore.
But I cant escape the evil that is Ikea - When a girl you’re fucking goes and buys shit at Ikea and she expects you to come over and put that shit together with that little tiny fucking allen wrench that you have to take out and re-insert every half-turn… 47 times! Fuck Ikea! LMAO
/rant LOL

I get crap for the number of shoes I have. And rightfully so (about 30 or 40 pairs not including what’s in storage). I am a shoe whore. I don’t know why, but I like good shoes. So I buy them (but good shoes also last, so I keep them a long time) I can’t win on this one, I’ll stop trying.

This. And handbags.
No Ikea in these here parts. Thank god.

These describe me pretty well. I used to get shit for these, but now I don’t luckily (especially the “not talking to people I don’t like.”)

LMAO…I love this one. I can see it now…
Things I get crap for…
-eating all the time
-being exceptionally picky about what I eat
-training all the time
-not wanting to go out because I have to train
-not smiling a lot (as if smiling all the time would make any difference)
There was a bigger list, but after the divorce the list went way down. Hmmm, funny.

and then if there’s something wrong with what you bought… I think I’ve spent more time at the return desk returning stuff my wife bought than in the actual “market place”.

It’s only recently various people from college came out and told me that the first time they met me, I was intimidating as hell. Weird. That anyone would find me intimidating speaks to the pure lack of testicular fortitude amongst guys of our (my) generation.
Why don’t you anymore?
You guys are all gay. IKEA is the coolest thing since legos and I built my entire apartment with no previous carpentry skills whatsoever. When I am homeless I am going to squat in the store at night.

I get all the your life style is unhealthy, why don�¢??t you just live.
People give me a hard time as i have the reputation in the military and in my family as calling people out on bullshit, some like it, many do not, usually those are the ones i call out on it.
[/quote]
I do that too. In my opinion, it is quite fun.
I also get crap for using correct grammar when I text.
I get crap for wanting to get out of high school.
I get crap for not liking Avatar (the shitty movie, not the cartoon show. The cartoon show is awesome).
That’s pretty much it though. After I have started calling people out, they have stopped giving me crap.[/quote]
And they’re making a movie out of that avatar as well.

Just me but I do not take crap from people outside my family. My wife gives me tons of shit for playing video games, football and reading. I am a little OC when I get into things and ignore her. Other than that she is the only one who matters, anybody else gives me shit I ignore them. Meaning they can be talking mid sentence and I will just walk off. [/quote]
I thought I was the only one who does that!!! I’ll also turn in mid sentence and start a conversation with someone I really want to talk to.
I get crap for :
Weight training - your to old & gonna hurt yerself (47, huh?)
(but then)Holy Crap, you have awesome legs
playing computer games
my cat consistently puking hairballs on wife’s side of bed (all from wifey)
Hiking with a 50 lb backpack full sand
Eating real food, and refusing junk
constantly drinking green tea

I agree boy,sweatpants are unreal.
Mostly eating strict at work. Although I get it at my relatives houses too. At work everything centers around food and not of the healthy variety. they would have pizza on the company tab once a week. It sucks because I love pizza but I always ate my chicken and veggies.
I get the same thing at my in laws and my dad’s house. They know I dont eat that shit and they invite my ass over for fettucine alfredo made with butter and heavy cream. I would love to but I am not jeopardizing what I’ve gained.
The only real shit I get from my wife is for not cleaning up… and its more like not cleaning it up when she wants me to. I clean up when I’m ready. She gets pissed though and starts slamming the cabinet doors and shit. All the while “everything’s fine. Nothing wrong.” I just sit there and watch tv because I know it pisses her off more.

I am hoping The Last Airbender is a good movie.

I don’t get crap about my training as much as I do about the type of training.
“Don’t you have herniated discs in your back? Deadlifts are bad for your herniated discs. I don’t see how you can put yourself through that.”
“I wish I could use calf raises to build my calves. Too bad my ankles are too weak to do them…”
“You’ll ruin your knees by squatting heavy.”
These kinds of comments usually come from the, “I’d work out like you but my body’s different and exercise wouldn’t do me any good” crowd.
Wearing the TMUSCLE shirt that just says “Testosterone.” Everyone at my school just thinks I’m being an arrogant ass hole
Depends on the group I’m with…
At work:
1.) Speaking my opinion directly to higher-ups
2.) Wearing nice suits and stylish ties. (My Japanese co-workers dress like the corpses they’d prop up in a circa 1860 undertaker’s window)
3.) Not being Japanese
With some friends:
1.) Having a Patrick Bateman-like grooming routine (I’ll admit I’m a bit of a fag when it comes to this)
2.) Being awkward and nervous around new people
3.) Refusing to use public toilets and use toilet paper (I take one dump a day…post-coffee, pre-shower…fill in the blanks)
With girls:
1.) Finding “The Silence of the Lambs” to be both the most chilling AND most hilarious movie ever made. (I mean, a sketchy fuck who pretends to be handicapped so he can lure fat chicks into his rapist van…funny right??)
2.) Making a joke in my head and laughing at it, all to myself.
3.) Being a big foreign guy with a mediocre-sized dick
