Sounds to me like your the one doing the checking out and eye contact. How the fuck would you notice otherwise?
“Girls are scared of me.”
Thats because no amount of lifting will change the fact that your an ugly motherfucker. The only difference now is that you’re also covered in zits.
I love these stupid stories.
“Everyone thinks I’m a bouncer”
That’s because you act like a fucking idiot swaggering around and giving dirty looks.
All you big tough guys…this is my advice…
Be more humble. There is nothing cooler than a easygoing big dude. You know he is in control of his world and doesnt need to do any postureing. He knows he’s big cause he’s worked hard to get there and doesn’t give a rat’s ass what anybody thinks.
It’s the little big guys that walk around angry all over the place with rolled up sleeves and tight t-shirts squinting around and daring anybody to look his way even though that’s exactly what he wants.
Geez.

Yah I agree, don’t act like an angry juice monkey lurking around and people won’t be “scared”.
You don’t have to slouch but don’t have to walk so straight up that you look like you’re sooo proud of your chest.
Sure they might have an initial intimidation but once you open your mouth and are friendly/modest they aren’t gonna run away.
buying new tshirts (med to large) isnt a big problem, not expansive anyways, its the SUITS i hate changing!! If there’s one thing thats been holding me back from bulking up for too long, that’d be it! I don’t have money to buy new suits (I’m not about to wear a suit thats 4 sizes too big so i can “work into it”)

Bro, not to call you out but you are 170lbs. Just buy a medium instead of a small.

LOL. When did 170lbs become “huge and intimidating”? If people look at you funny at 170lbs, unless you are extremely short, it is simply because you look funny.
It would be nice if more people, especially women, found it attractive and appealing. Instead of unattractive and unappealing. Sure, many great-looking women do. The T-vixens are testament to that. But many gorgeous women prefer a leaner, less muscular look.
Anyone ever get sick of the “What can you bench” question? It seems a little irrelevant for me right now when I’ve got a back and arm focus. I’d rather have them ask what I can do for bent over rows.

haha.
I know I’m small (really small, actually). Since everyone was giving the “…and I’m small.” I figured mine was a given.
Yes, I’m only 170 lbs. But I’m rather short (5’7 and a half… 5’8 for internet purposes… 6’0 on adult friend finder, but thats beside the point.) so when I buy large or even medium shirts, they’re usually relatively long on me. Which makes me look like an idiot. But I guess thats beside the point, too.

Most men prefer smaller, less muscular women, too. One reason I learned to play bass.
All kidding aside, what has always bothered me is that some people think your body is public territory. I have had strangers come up to me with some inane comment and feel my shoulders and arms. Much like when I was pregnant with twins, these same type of folks would put their hands on my belly. I am flattered but annoyed. Guess I just have a large personal space.
A lot of lazy people stop me in the grocery store and tell me about their glory days. Most of them bench pressed 405-500lbs in high school or college. It’s amazing to me they have fallen so far by their early thirties. The 12 packs and cereal in their carts probably aren’t helping. Most of these people are so out of shape I wonder if they ever trained.
Frankly the clothing things sucks I know this because you have one of two choices buy clothes to big so that the neck and shoulders fit but looks like a tent around my stomach, or buy things at the suggested size and not be able to breath and look likeyou are tring to impress every one.
Also I train to ove big weight I hope to look good afterwards but it is not my main focus but when I walk around people treat me like I am one of those posers who’s work outs consist of half bench and loads of curls. While they walk on tooth picks.

Everybody “used to” be really built and stronger than everyone else on the planet. That is the justification for telling us that “all of that muscle will just turn to fat when we get older”. That way, we can stop all of this ridiculous training and eating and stop becoming so gosh darned muscular.
I agree it’s a bitch trying to find shirts. Being in an office setting most of the day our dress code requires you to wear business casual, button up shirt slacks, etcc. I’m 190 and 5’4". Finding a dress shirt sucks. When I find one that fits in the shoulders and the chest the arms are way too long. I send them to the tailor and have them altered for about 8 bucks a piece. Also the lengths are too long as well, if i don’t have them cut down and shortened it looks like I shit my pants if I try to tuck them in my pants. T-shirts suck as well, I normally buy an extra large and wash it in hot water first, it will shrink up some and it doesn’t look too bad, but if it’s a preshrunk x-large it won’t fit.
Amen to the Asian girls not liking a muscular guy. But all you have to do is look at the male celebrities they love. All the Korean, Taiwanese, and Chinese dudes are friggen small as hell. Like 130lbs and 5’8! Ewwww.
I’m Taiwanese, and from my grandmother’s generation, they all think I’m very manly and “healthy”. Of course that could imply fat but they know it’s muscle and they love to feel them and exclaim “Oh so healthy” in Chinese. But then take a contemporary, native Asian girl and I’m too big, and I weigh 180 at 5’6. Go figure.
I hate how the nicer stores have really nice clothes but tailored for fashion models. I don’t think people understand that the dudes in the Calvin Klein ads aren’t that big! Neither are the underwear models or Abercrombie kids. Plus, you can’t look like them if you’re not tall, the lines just aren’t the same. And it’s funny how the clothes are tailored for skinny people but most of America is fat.
I hate buying pants. Hate it. 30 inch inseam and a 34-36 waist just to fit my ass and quads. And any jeans I buy have to be baggy fit or else they don’t fit comfortably.
One gripe I have with getting bigger and stronger, not that I don’t love it, is that people, especially girls, will come up to you and say, “You’re big enough already!!!”
The assed up thing is, these are the same people who said the same damn thing when you were 20lbs lighter.

Geez.
I wear baggy shirts and I don’t try to look at people. Who are you? Why are you so angry? I’m obviously done with this after one final question. How much does it suck carrying a cooler.[/quote]

Ya I know those people. A lot of them are in my family. These same people were all-star athletes, prom queens, and such in high school. Most of them were telling the truth, just hope high school isn’t the pinnacle of my life.

For sure. I think muscular women definitely have it a lot harder, in fact.
