I find it less, though I hear stories of guys who always get challenged in clubs etc once they got big.
-
absolutely much more.
i thought that being "able to handle myself" would make it less likely for issues to happen.
well in some way, yes. the twinks and avg joe always backs down or doesnt rise up in the first place...BUT
every other wannabee alpha male starts seeing you as a target.
probably wouldve had less trouble before. my record's good though..lol..only 1 conviction and nearly a dozen cases dropped.
getting too old for this shit.

Way less, maybe more dirty looks but for the most part it's all bluffs, no one actually follows through with anything at least not once you want to just cut the chit chat and fight, everyone's about having a big mouth until you're ready to drop the hammer, then everyone quiets down and starts looking away.

Getting jacked? What does that have to do with anything. The only guys not willing to fight "jacked up" people are people who do not know how to fight. Size means very little...as discussed millions of times here on GB.

I agree nothing, but to them perception is reality.

To turn the question around, I find guys who are jacked tend to be much more aggressive (no brainer). Throw in alcohol, and it gets worse. I have a guy at work that went on 750 sustenon, and some primo. He only gained 7 lbs in 4 months (Dan Duchaine style shitty genetics).He went from being an immature 23 years old goof, to an explosive, mouthy a-hole. Some guys can't handle their stuff.

LMAO @ the beta males here being "challenged" since they started to consider themselves "jacked".
lol, douchebags. ;D
-
I really don't get challenged, but I get asked stupid questions all the time.
-
yes I find they're assholes.
speaking of duchaine, are there any archives of his articles or audio interviews.

I did when I was younger, but I had an attitude back then, like I had something to prove......now that I'm older and I don't give a fuck, I find most guys really aren't looking for nor do they really want an asswhippin. ;)

Back in the day when I was a boxer , kids (usually fat bullies) used to come up to me for no reason and said I'm not afraid of you .
-
Way way less for me tbh.
Though around the 210lb mark I found that there was a period of time when older guys wanted to pick on me.
-
no one ever fucks with me....i think it's how you handle yourself, I'm a peaceful dude

Somthing about you just reminds me of that pumpster guy..
Not saying you are him but like him.

We just had this same threads a few weeks ago! and I answered YES!

there is no reality, only appearance

LOL exactly... just check out the beta male cock-Houdinist who started this thread. Says it all...
No one has ever fucked with me sober since 1997... http://www.yaroniavidan.com/index.php/topic,558.0.html

When ever I feel disrespected at a club, the office, or the streets. I just throw one of my shoes at them. Then they know whats up.

Most people pity the obese.

Post a pic. If not, you're telling us that you are a schmoe logging on here mostly to jack off and "interact" with muscular men"...
nothing wrong, you aint the first, just come clean bro, don't act like a rat.
Too chicken to play with the big boys, understandable.

I'm brown so everyone wants to start shit. People used to call my a skinny bitch and start shit, now it's juice monkey and just as many people start shit. But they don't act on it anymore, they just front and back off.
I usually de-escalate things though because tough guys pack knives and guns so its not worth it. I've tossed guys around and they wont hit me anymore unless they've got a big crew. Small town so my friends usually know their friends and it gets broken up before there's a big rumble. That shits not worth it anymore.
When you have a wife, house or a career you don't get it drunken scraps. Only when you're a beta male fag do you start shit with someone that intimidates you and makes you feel insecure. I'll fight someone one on one as long as no one's packing. I'd rather get my ass kicked fairly, shake hands and deal with my humility the way it used to be when I was in high-school. Even girls get fucking shanked and I live in a pretty relaxed Canadian city.
-
Well, I hardly get into "staredowns" or "fights". Life has more important stuff when you get older. Of cos, dun be cocky and walk around thinking that everyone is afraid of you.
-
Never had a problem, because I look more sporty than big.
Though sometimes I like to play the stare game... like the wild poodle I am.

Size means very little is a huge understatement.
Edit: I don't know if I got that right or if anyone will understand. I will put it this way. 10 pound bodyweight difference can be a deciding factor between two fighters in a ring. So yeah, I think it might matter alot.

Yeah, when there is rules. Thats why there is weight classes.
But size really doesnt mean anything if one of the two knows how to fight and the other doesnt (read: training)

Well yeah, but we must also remember that there is so much variation in skills. It isn't just two options, trained and untrained.
I read that a famous Finnish strongman who worked as a bouncer used to get into fights. And not only as a bouncer, but in freetime also. One guy beat him. He was a very succesfull heavyweight martial artist.

Correct. But for every 1 of him, there is 10,000 wannabe tough guys that dont know shit who run there mouth because theyre insecure and they think what theyre doing makes them tough. More than likely, those are the guys that youre going to run into.

Juice heads can get as jacked as they want. It's not going to protect their chin any better when you land a shot square on the button. I've seen more bloated, juicebags get dropped than any other. Pretty comical.

A guy joined my gym maybe 3yrs ago
For the first 6months his father used to come to training with him
Then he started on a bit of gear
Within a month he'd shaved his head, grown a goatee, got a tattoo on his neck, wore vests to the gym and started bouncing
Same doesn't apply to everyone but some people will be cockheads no matter what

Here's a collection of a few old "Ask the Guru" questions:
http://users.iafrica.com/a/aj/ajpb/RoidQA.htm .
Also his "Dirty Dieting Newsletter" is avalable on the 'net as a download, I believe 240orbust might still have it. You might even find his "Danachy" articles floating around too, altough I think Qfac clampped down on them.
Your best bet is to look at the torrent sites, and see if anyone has uploaded the series of CD-Roms, etc... that Muscle Media (formerly Muscle Media 2000) put out a few years back. My understanding is that they have most of the articles from that magazine's history, including the work Duchaine did for them.
