When you are young you want a hot gal who is your soul mate. As you get older you discover you need a woman to do the laundry. Everything else you can get elsewhere.

I'm married (4 years this June), and I like being married.  My wife and I have known each other since we were 14 (We are 27 now).  So we know each other inside out!

Its not for everyone, and if you like being single and and enjoy bangin a different ho every night, thats good too!  There is no rule set in stone that says YOU HAVE to get married because society says so!  Fuck that, do what makes you happy!

What makes me happy is being with a person who I truy consider my soulmate (I know that sounds so cheezy and cliche) but its the absolute truth, she is incredible.  But thats me, and if that doesn't work for you, then by all means don't do it, DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, plain and simple!


Some people divorce, some people stay happily married forever, everyone's case is different!

However and unfortunately for me, I found what was not my soulmate, and let me relate it specifically to bodybuilding:

I would have my goals, my nutrition needs, which weren't much, just calorie information, and I would want to workout, participate on boards, buy supplements, you know, normal stuff for fans and lifters.

She hated the fact that I was into this. Counting up calories in her home made crap was 'too hard', and she refused to work with me on anything really. Surfing the web was bad, looking good to other women was bad, and especially knowing what she cooked was bad. She never made an effort, and hated me looking good to other women to the point where I would say something like, "I wish I could have a piece of that pie or head to Taco Bell now" and instead of supporting me, she would say something like, "Your looks don't matter, as long as your healthy".

It was my looks that attracted her in the first place, then she got pregnant, then she wanted me to say screw it and head south with my physique, lol.

I know the above actually makes me look bad and vain and all that, but she was trying to sabotage me. She would find out I ate all of my food that day and THEN head off to a fast food joint and get something and bring it back.

There was no support for my goals/hobby in that relationship. Alot of girls are like that really. They think I came out of the womb looking like this or something.

Dude I totally feel you on this, I've been in the same boat with a few ex's, they loved the way I look but after a few months I guess the novelty wore off and it was 'oh ,you're off to the gym again' or 'you can't go to mcdonald's with me because you say it's crap and you need your chicken breast'  man, fuck that shit... I loved lifting it was always a peaceful place for me during stress or bad times and these lazy bitches thought you could keep a 6 pack not going to the gym and eating shit every day.. be glad you got rid of her, she's probably making someone else's life miserable right now... thankfully my current fiancee is extremely supportive and goes to the gym with me, cooks amazing meals the way I want them (low fat, med carbs) and is healthy and thin.

Oh man, thats CRITICAL, if they can't support your lifestyle thats ROUGH!

My wife is so supportive, she's not involved in the sport, but she helps me with my meals all the time (even though I actually enjoy cooking them myself), she knows when I have to go to the gym, and doesn't complain or bitch about it or anything, and when its show days... she's up with me at 5 am putting color on me, and making sure I'm stage ready, and leading up to the show, she will walk me through my poses, and tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong.  That support is sooo important, especially around competition time when you're fucking depleted and your spirit is damn near broken hahaha

That's so awesome dude, you two sound like good soulmates... though I'm still happy I chose not to compete, I can't stand dieting I absolutely love food, depriving myself of Italian or Chinese cuisine would be suicide.

Invest in yourself. A lot of women ain't shit but liars and ...whores for lack of a more polite word?  Few out there are worth being with. They can drain the will and motivation to live out of you. It's taught me I've got to live honest. Be honest,  love life, and be with people you enjoy.

I mean, I don't want to feel like I need to be in peak condition and I don't want her to feel that way either. However this chick got pregnant, went to hell physically, hated sex for like the remainder of our relationship, and only seemed to want me for financial purposes.

She looked at all of this like a hobby you leave behind when you 'grow up'.

Other girls are put off by my supplements or whatever, but generally it is a fun ride. I even got free massages from this one chick a few days after meeting her. However even she asked me, "When does it stop? When are gonna be happy with yourself?"

They see dysmorphia or whatever when I ain't that big, lol. If anything, I am closer to average than anything, but the fun of this, for me, is to see how far I can go with it. I also like the pussy, lol, thus, a recreational heterosexual bodybuilder should not get married unless he knows for sure he found the right one.

Not to derail anything, but you could still compete and eat that stuff. You have to watch calories and nutrients, but you could have 2 cheat meals a week, spaced apart from each other and still get ripped.

You would want to cut it out about 2-3 weeks prior, but you could do that easily.

I have a ton of friends that compete, also friends with a few pro's in the city, I see the hell they're all going through when dieting the last few weeks, the mood swings, plus I don't like running high doses of t3 and clen anymore and the amounts of gear, there's guys in level 1 and 2 shows that spend $10,000-$15,000 on gear alone.

Oh, your talking about untested shows. Well then, yeah, that is a test of will and strength either way, whether you eat pasta or not, lol. It's not so much a contest of who can train/diet more intelligently, but rather who can use the best drug cycle per their genetics and who can use that and not die, lol.

Depends on the person.  Myself, I have to stay on a strict diet all through out, no cheating or anything, but thats also cause I always have to drop like 50 lbs before a show, so its 16 week of strict dieting.



One of my good friends, he stays lean all year round, so he diets for like 8 weeks, but will have a cheat meal every now and then!


Another one of my friends, he's a genetic freak, he diets for 2 weeks before a show!  and he is SHREDDEDDDDD!   It all depends on the person!

Its funny...  MY BESTEST BESTEST friend EVER (I've know the guys since we were in 8th grade), he is one of these guy that is a 100% bachelor, lives now in Miami, has sex with a different girl LITERALLY EVERY NIGHT!  He's so good with women...  Well the other night, he had a threesome with these 2 hot girls, says it was his best EVER (and he had been with like hundreds), only issue is, they ended up robbing him the next morning LOL!  Took his cell phone, took his money, took his ID, his credit cards, HAHAHAHAHAH

So he got online the next day, he was like "FUUUUCK ACH" and tells me about the threesome and then about being robbed, and debating in his head whether it was all worth it or not, he was like, IT WAS REALLY FUCKING GOOD!  But they took all my shit, and he couldn't get a new ID cause it was sunday, he couldn't cancel his credit cards because he didn't have a phone, he couldn't get a new phone because he didn't have any credit cards or cash. hahahah

However and unfortunately for me, I found what was not my soulmate, and let me relate it specifically to bodybuilding:

I would have my goals, my nutrition needs, which weren't much, just calorie information, and I would want to workout, participate on boards, buy supplements, you know, normal stuff for fans and lifters.

She hated the fact that I was into this. Counting up calories in her home made crap was 'too hard', and she refused to work with me on anything really. Surfing the web was bad, looking good to other women was bad, and especially knowing what she cooked was bad. She never made an effort, and hated me looking good to other women to the point where I would say something like, "I wish I could have a piece of that pie or head to Taco Bell now" and instead of supporting me, she would say something like, "Your looks don't matter, as long as your healthy".

It was my looks that attracted her in the first place, then she got pregnant, then she wanted me to say screw it and head south with my physique, lol.

I know the above actually makes me look bad and vain and all that, but she was trying to sabotage me. She would find out I ate all of my food that day and THEN head off to a fast food joint and get something and bring it back.

There was no support for my goals/hobby in that relationship. Alot of girls are like that really. They think I came out of the womb looking like this or something. 

When it comes to marriage, it's all about MUTUAL support. Trust me! I know what it's like, dealing with a pregnant wife. But, as a husband, you just go the extra mile. My wife would complain that I watched football too much. So, I ended that gripe by simply taking the baby with me.

As far as bodybuilding goes, you simply do what you have to do. Bill Pearl used to train as early as 3 a.m. to get it out of the way, so he didn't infringe on his time with his wife and kids. He won 4 Mr. Universe titles.

Lee Haney seems to have it down cold. He's been married, what, 25 years or so. His son just graduated from the Citadel; his daughter is in college now. And he still runs his youth camp, a TV and radio fitness show. Then again, Haney and his wife, Shirley, have known each other, since they were kids.

At the end of the day, it's all about priorities.

The last page in the book "Complete Bodybuilding" by Joe Weider and Bill Dobbins, there is a line in it that says:

"The best champions in the sport are men who have well-rounded lifestyles.  They have good relationships, good jobs, good family ties, and good hobbies outside of the sport."


That line has always stuck with me!

most men unconsciously marry a copy of their mother, reproducing the exact same kind of relationship they had with their mother with their gf/wife and keeping themselves stuck in a relationship based on dependancy.

If you didnt cut ties with your mother and simply spend your life reproducing the relationship of your parents (you being your father, or the little kid dependant on your mother you were in the past, your gf being your mother) sooner or later you ll have to consult a psychiatrist or psychologist to find out how to end the repetition of the vicious, unconscious circle.

Women are also interested in men who are a mix of their father and brothers personnalities . The way you are educated in your childhood and teenage years conditions the rest of your life and the way you will interract with other men and women.

Men who didnt have a father are looking for a substitutive father figure their whole life until they find one and live in a constant state of anxiety, insecurity and despair, same with women who didnt have one, and the same goes if you didnt have a mother too.

Ambivalent relationships with older brothers or sisters who saw you as a rival when you were born , stealing their mother, and end hating you and trying to erase you considering you are an ennemy also conditions how you will interact with other men and women, especially the way you will manage your friendships.

Fathers cheating on their wives teach their sons to reproduce the same behavior later as adults, and teach their daughters to pick men who will cheat on em unconsciously.

Well i could go on and on based on what im studying, but one thing is sure most men marry their mother and stay in an immature relationship based on dependancy (they left the dependancy from their mother to replace it with a dependancy from their gf/wife) until they figure it, and want to stop the cycle which kept repeating itself unconsciously.  As long as they re in this cycle they re not grown up automous men/adults. They re kids.

Most traits of personnality that make us select one women among others are the same traits of personnality we can find in our mother.

Once we figure we married our mother (and when she symbolically kills our mother once and for all when she gets pregnant) it's very difficult for the man to accept his wife becomes a mother and he becomes the father, ending by force the immature, childish reproduction of the pat relationship with her in which he was a kid and she was his mother, that lasted for the past years if not decades. This is how you become a man. Lots of men, who come from dysfunctionnal families cannot comprehend, cannot face this dilemma. You need brains or parents who stayed together to go thru this as an adult, and not a child.
