Yeah, I hear ya. I never say it anyways. People are usually like, "do you work out" or "you must lift weights", and I just say "a little".
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I walk around in longsleeves & pants year round. I'm not looking for attention (not that I'm anything special, mind you), but I personally think it's pathetic when someone with some muscle walks around in a wifebeater year round, trying to get attention. Talk about insecure......
I'm the same way, I hate crass people. New York has been invaded by crass culturalism. Everyone is showing off their status or power or whatever. (its become LA). It is disgusting.
A girl walking in a once very poor neighborhood through a bunch of very poor immigrant workers in a thousand dollar outfit, on her cell phone completely ignoring them is just like the muscle guy in a tank, walking down the stet with his arms spread out. Its all about selfishness and entitlement. Their parents taught them to be that way.
Its the Paris Hilton Phenomenon ---Flaunt your wealth, power, status, for you own personal gain without any consideration or respect for the people around you.
Welcome to the future folks.
