Internet totally fucked me up big time. Worst thing I ever did was reading that doggcrapp DC training ... believing bullshit about how eating 700000 calories is needed to grow...past few years getting fat  trying to"get huge" permabulking when I could of been tapping fine hoes rocking "team lean face" and still probably had the same if not more of the amount of muscle I have today.

[Alex23]

why would you care?

 im just a juiced up guy who needs drugs to build his physique.
so really, tell me croatch, in your eyes what exactly do i need to 'back up'?
lol

No need to ask my friend, every post you make proves it further and further. Your words speak for themselves, at least you got that part right.

Be true to yourself and respect others.

[McFarland]

good.

welcome back.

Thanks bro, it feels good to be back.

I did some dumb bullshit too.

[Primemuscle]

you don't know anybody that likes to bust balls?

getbig is just more blunt

in real life people say shit with a smile on their face when they try to get under your skin, or under the disguise of sarcasm

they say "i'm just kidding bro" as if they weren't trying to offend you


E

Maybe I am naive to believe in this theory, but I give folks a reputation to live up to and they seem to do that most of the time. When someone fails, I ignore them until they are no longer in my life. I undoubtedly know people who bust balls, but they don't bust mine and that's what counts to me. I believe you get back what you send out into this world. There are people who consistently send out bad vibes. I don't spend time on those people. Life is too short for that.

Meeting with a rather soft spoken but very large someone this past Friday made me realize (once again) how disruptive the negativity on the internet can be...

Through the years I've posted on various forums; cars, tech, conspiracy theories, planes even stormfront (curiosity) etc...

Never any of them got any close to bodybuilding forums when it comes to drama & hatred... my theory is bb attracts insecurity, display of attention, jealousy; after-all, the state in which ones body is,  very personal; often the willingness to change what he/she doesn't like is strictly based on insecurity, loaded with emotions... 

Discuss...

 This is totally true. I have frequented many political forums, tattoo forums, regional forums, punk rock forums, marijuana and drug forums, sex and porn forums. But bodybuilding ones are definitely the most dramatic and crazy.

 It doesn't bother me though. Just gotta have a thick skin and ignore it. If it crosses over into real life then the shit will go down. But nothing anyone types here can phase me.

[The Grim Lifter]

I must read the wrong news websites because there is so much negativity there relating to politics, employment and bosses, celebrities etc.

Getbig is pretty funny compared to it. At least it isn't a fucking lot of Ass Kissing like other BBing sites.

 True politics gets pretty intense. Same with religion.

 Politics and religion are the two worst ones probably. Probably worse than BB. Most of the posters on those forum are just in a constant rage.

dear alex23,

YOU are singlehandedly responsible for the demise of this forum. this thread is a perfect example of your bi polar, attention seeking bullshit. you ruin it with your drama, with your 'outings' with your 'gimmicks'.

what is it in your life that sucks so badly you need a internet forum for attention? you've quit this place countless times, always to return- and the best part is nobody even missed you. your the biggest crybaby i have ever seen, but yet your supposed to be a grown man- even more proof of your stunted personality, like we needed it.

i honestly think you have a personality disorder of some nature, and obviously so do those you've met thru here- thats why they dont hang around with you any longer.

look around you alex- your 'real' life- how many good friendships do you have- id fucking bet not a whole lot. you marrried the sister of a guy you met online, your friends are all online friends and most of those you met online want nothing to do with you anymore for whatever reason.

you are the problem, fatboy. get some help. take some meds. do something for fucks sake. just quit trying so hard to fit in. you never will. your just a fucking weirdo.

lol

Sorry for butting in on your personal feud with Alex. I was reading what you wrote with interest to discern if there was any truth to what you were conveying about Alex, based on various posts I've read here and elsewhere that involved Alex, (not that I am an expert on human behavior, especially yours or Alex's). Eventually you lost me with you name calling such as, "fatboy", "fucking weirdo"  and the non professional suggestion Alex take/needs meds. Ultimately, the post degraded into the very negativity to which Alex refers. The killer is your signature line, "LOL" like some all this is some maniacal joke to you. You are definitely not a nice person, I gather.

[Primemuscle]

   

Tell me about it!    If being with young girls is so important to these guys couldn't they just hire an 18 year old escort or something?

Matt, you can be so dense. Eighteen year old folks are too old for these jerks. They want kids/children who they believe they can manipulate because they are so insecure that they can't have a successful relationship with another adult. Most eighteen year old escorts are way too adult and sophisticated for these clowns.

[Firemuscle]

Yup.

When I first started posting here ten years ago I was a guy in his thirties and this place was a LOT different.

Over time what's happened is the gimmicks aren't even creative or funny anymore...they know they are gimmicks so they just post dumb shit...with the objective being to waste bandwidth,  I guess.

And now as a guy in his forties instead of his thirties it just seems so boring and stupid to me. No one ever has anything good to say...and if You own somebody fair and square they "dig" for personal info because they are sore loser little bitches.  

 I agree. I do think it's a very, very BITCH MOVE when people dig for personal info on others and cross the line like that.

 People stalking each other in real life and bringing it into real life. That's really not cool at all. Some people here take this shit too seriously and cross it over into real life.

 If anyone tries that on me I will seriously go fucking mid evil on them. Not even joking at all. If you have a problem with someone, settle it in PM's like responsible adults.

 That's how people are nowadys though. When they get punked, they don't concede with dignity. Instead they try to take a low blow after they go down.

[Parker]

Ditto.  I post on car forums, education forums, tech forums, real estate forums, investing forums, and only on bodybuilding forums do you see people act out the way they do here.  The reason is clear:  lots of insecure men/boys are drawn to this sport.  

hmmm, my time might be best spent on these...name the best ones

[Alex23]

Yup.

Wish the moderators would've grow Australoid balls and have kept this place clean.. including my shit..

The internet is its own entity. No one person can honestly believe that they hold the key to controlling it. The Devil doesn't spread negativity. And he doesn't tell people to be positive or negative. We all have free will mother fuckers. Being negative or being positive is simply an emotion. Would you really have the balls to tell a person to be positive or happy after they just watched their love one be killed? Everyone/anyone that is at their keyboard at any given time is going through a different emotion then the next guy. Who the fuck wants to live in a world where someone is telling you to always be positive. That is silly talk. And its also someone trying to enforce MINDCONTROL. Mindcontrol without trying is retarded. Just saying

[Alex23]

Alex23: i know an IFBB pro. He decided to stop by the forums here for a little while. He said Getbig was so negative and depressing that he decided to never come back. He could not believe how negative the people here were.

Thank you for your post Royalty.

Honestly, I'm not surprised... exposing delusion somewhat became a key-learning on getbig... problem is it went way too far and tipped the scale to the point of preventing people from enjoying something that isn't as tainted as they want us to believe.

Good examples of extra shifters are Shane Carnithan and Jason Stern. all forum bullshit aside, I like both of these guys, personally Jason & I get along pretty well  and if he was just a little closer, would be a guy I would frequent monthly or so. Shane who I only met once has a good moral base but  got sucked in the bb "lifestyle" and is very bitter for some reasons. Early 30s and still trying to find a 'career path'. I feel that he misses it but convinces himself otherwise by hating instead

So How did they channelize their frustration and why did I step aside? they started a forum to 'expose' the industry; some say not a bad call, but if you're gonna call ppl out on a daily basis, be prepared for collateral damages. The worse collateral of all is my almost blood brother flexingtonsteele, got sucked in the negativity some extrapolated on his own or thru their channels. the result is constant negativity beyond the point of reality. A negativity that prevents you from growing and enjoying a higher state (either mental or physical)

I personally stepped aside at a very specific point; I remember the exact moment; it was at the Arnold 2008..  I was talking to Jason Pegg, telling him that I really wanted to catch the finals, annecdoting the 2006 olympia and how much glen & I enjoyed it... then I hear Stern.. telling me "hey go scalp some tickets from Troy Alves" and other getbig based memes.... telling me how fucking "gay" it was to go watch the final... telling myself, what I should say but not sound like a racist... all I could come up with was "hey jew stomp, keep your negativity for the buffet.. see ya in a couple of hours.." then I just lost it.. took me lots of restrain to not break his jew bridge.... we took off but were too late.. sold out.. 2400 miles for an afternoon at the "expo"...


Sorry flexingtonsteele if I dragged you into this shit.. needed to close a chapter to positivity growth and onstage results coming soon.

BE/STAY/GOAL YOURSELF POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good post. Interesting thing about people who love to use the words "Be positive". Oprah who is filthy rich loves to use those words. However, she is morbidly obese and has been most of her life. Many believe she is living in the closet which helps aid in her eating habits. She has no kids and she was once known for touching anything and it turning to gold. But now that her OWN network is failing, people have seen through her "BE POSITIVE" model. Sure it got her filthy rich. But in the end, its turning out that it was just an illusion. Oprah's life is going to be studied in psychology classes for decades if we all live past 2012

Psychology classes??? Hmmmm?  Wow, maybe I should get a jump start and put her in my lesson plan..lol

GetBig Malcontents, dissidents and Svengali's never short on schadenfreude!!!


BE/ACT/STAY/TALK POSITIVE...BECAUSE PSYCHOLOGY IS ALL ABOUT OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Abdominal Snoman]

In the end, a person can't tell someone to be positive or negative. They have to show them. Again these are emotions. Just like love and hate. You can't tell someone to love someone or hate someone. You have to show them. Show me how to love or show me how to hate and I will show you heaven and hell.
