I've read these posts and I have to say e-kul miqmaq is really wrong.
Not wrong in the sense that we all wouldn't workout for self image, but everything else. Big muscle guys are looked down upon because being big and muscular man has prety much the level of stamp as being a sleazy sluty whore looking girl.
Just like all you big guys said, you have the label in registry of the 1980's muscle heads and people think you have nothing else in mind except your pecs and your delts and how you train super hard, and that you try to compensate your nothingness with your physical outlook
But that's far from the truth.
For example me, I'm 3 times smaller than these big guys here, but I train for the same reasons as these guys. I'm lean and I look like I workout somewhat but I'm not a beefcake so in reverse, these bigger guys immidiately assume that "I think I'm a bad ass because I'm just ripped" and then it's like "Oh it doesn't count because you weight 165lbs, try do the same when you weight 230lbs *beefcake laughter*".These big guys have this impression that we twinks think our abs and bicep veins are so super impressive and that it proves we train so hard... which is NOT the case.
Overally they don't like me having calvin and klein jeans and some tight marco polo shirt
, they think I don't deserve wearing it because hey what the hell! "This guy can't be so confident with about 50lbs less muscle, can he? I have to trash his self image!". But not very often, almost never because even I'm smaller, I train for the same reasons and every muscle head has that secret "gym bondage" mentality anyway, so whatever conflict we may have it's resolved in the early seconds of confrontation.
So I know how these big guys feel and it must be frustrating at times. The most problems I have with women, they immidiatley label me as a player and a douchebag, most of the time they look at me as if I've killed their dog and made them eat it... yes BEFORE I have talked shit to them. Why? for the same reasons prety much, but you gotta understand, a guy like me who is prety and lean is considerred as a liar and a womanising sexist player... which I'm not... LOL ! ehm...
Anyway, if I get to chat with some bigger guy than my self who is as lean as i am I immidiately tell him he looks bad ass and ask how long he has been training. Then it's a muscle head conversation between a twink and a beefcake, oh how romantic
oh and
