criticize this great sport?

Of course you can like it but if you can't see anything wrong with it then you are delusional. $:-\$ For example, why get mad if somebody says "man in a thong" or "drug abuser" or "bodybuilders have self-esteem problems", those are or might be atleast in some way true.

Me not understand. Why people have trouble with facts?

"Sport" or not... whatever you want to call it, making a hobby out of admiring another man's nearly naked body is gay. So, too, is pumping up your body so you can show it off to other men. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I think people become uncomfortable when we call attention to something that is true but that they have been ignoring or denying, and the natural reaction is hostility.

According to Chick drugs are only the finishing touch.

anybody with two eyes can see there are many problems with bodybuilding today, if you think they have self esteem or drug problems fine but why post here if you think the whole thing is gay

it just doesn't make sense to spend a large portion of your life on a bodybuilding forum when you think the sport is nothing more than gay men in thongs, unless you are gay

why post so much on a forum when your feelings are so negative towards the main topic, which is pro bodybuilding

i think men doing ballet is gay men in tights, that's just one reason i don't post on ballet forums

It's been said many times before, Earl, but just in case you have short-term memory loss:

1) "Bodybuilding" is not just oiled men in thongs on a stage. It is also tons of people who lift and diet for health, self-improvment, vanity, or just because they enjoy it. Most of those people have no interest in geting anywhere near a "bodybuilding stage" as either a competitor or a spectator, but they still enjoy conversation with like-minded people.

2) This site is highly entertaining, and at least part of the entertainment involves poking fun at the trainwreck that is pro bodybuilding today.

Amen. Say what you want, but the majority of the crowd at bbing pageants are overwhelmingly made up of men. Whereas at a bikini contest, the same holds true, but the men are there to check out semi-nude women......now what are the men checking out at a bbing show? thought so..... $:-\$

Yes, and people who go to dog shows or zoos or circuses to "admire" animals and their bodies / antics are all into bestiality, right? Believe it or not, not every guy out there who is into bodybuilding, lives to eat and swallow dick, you imbecile.

Really? When I first came to getbig it was to find information on bodybuilding nutrition. I learned a lot and stayed for the laughs. I couldn't give a shit about pro bodybuilding.

this site is actually the best thing on internet for last few years when it comes to bodybuilding and reality and entertainment in relashion to bodybuilding and in general,,

straight out this is number 1 site on the internet when it comes to weight lifting,,im not aware of any other site where all the professional read and many participate even if on gimmik still not aware of any site where the all ifbb read like this site

the only problem with this site is that women are scated to write ,,they read but very scared to write because its very harsh ,, then again some of them write with no problem like mike arvilas girl and few more,,many more read

this is the style of this board,,harsh and put you in your place very fast,,which is what attracts everyone here

Actually, being sexually attracted to a male if you are a male makes one gay. Thanks for playing...now go get some vagina homo.

You missed the point (again). Most Sports' (not male pageants) spectators are men. True. Let me explain this to you again....Bikini comp. or pageant, crowd made up of straight men = straight entertainment. Men in thong pageants, crowd made up of men = gay entertainment. Nothing wrong with gays watching men strut and dance for them, it's just the way it is.

And you can't compare a real Sport, to a bbing pageant. One is usually made up of Athletes, performing athletic feats (tackling, running, sprinting, dunking, jumping, throwing, et cetera). The other is muscular oiled up men, flexing and dancing. Nothing athletic about it.

Remove your blinders already......

Going to a bbing pageant, is the same as going to a Chippendale's show. The difference is, The Chippendale's are smart enough to get paid for their showing. To many of you, I'm sure you'd be fine going to a Chippendale's show, all while telling yourself, "I'm not gay, I'm just checking out the physiques".
