Still bearing the scars of being picked last in gym glass, eh? Poor baby.
It's not about "liking" or not liking any of the "things" I mentioned or even about liking sports. It's about having a body that is actually useful for something other than looking in the mirror or posing for dudes. As someone who does not actually engage in physical activities, I don't really expect you to understand that.
Why do you always try and read into things and come up with an amateurish, pseudo-psychological nonsense of an explanation that would be embarrassing to read in a cheesy woman's mag? No, I wasn't picked last in gym class - things don't work that way where I did my schooling, which was actually in a third world country. This thread was about the ideal male physique and it was meant purely in the aesthetic sense of the term, not on how functional it could be. That's why the first post is of a pic of Michaelangelo's David and not some guy who is showing us how good he is at climbing things or jumping over hurdles or whatever.
There is a notion out there that being slim equals being aesthetic and I was merely saying that for some, the Herculean look is more aesthetic than the Apollonian. That's all. As to my not engaging in physical activities - you've got a point there. But that's me and I've always liked being that way. It takes all sorts to make the world Bay.
