Are they intrigued?, disgusted?, jealous?, positive? Do they openly stare?

Pretty non-committal - I never really show off my physique outside of the gym and most people who don't know me just think I'm a rugby player or something. The ones that do know I train aren't that bothered but they usually ask the odd diet question or tell me they know "someone" who is "bigger" than me but they've now "stopped training" and all that muscle has "somehow" turned to fat.

its a mixed bag... as i work in heavy engineering, i get alot of jobs they wouldnt ask other mortals to do, just to save time

most women dig it, despite what others claim on here,the blokes that sneer are the ones who tend to want to know what your doing!

You're natural, it's normal.

I'm not a big guy at all, but I do have prominent forearm and upper arm vascularity that often gets comments.

some good comments, some bad comments (usually those come from fat women or dude.. they give me a speach about being healthy)

I would say it draws a LOT of attention, wich might be good or bad also but usually it's for the best

Do you respond by raising the back of your shirt?

Not that much because even when I am off I still get comments about my size (because I get fat so I stay the same size in a t-shirt)

the main reason why it's hard for me to stay off, is the "looking shittier and shittier every passing day" part

Some of them are impressed, real positive...others get "defensive"

.

Some get to you asking for advice, they seem positive and when you turn your back they are backstabing you.

Its really mixed..

I often hear "health" lectures from fat fucks or hasbeens...smiles from women and tough "stares" from their bfriends.

Its always the same "My cousin/aunt/brother etc is bigger than you"..."I was the same size, maybe bigger at your age" phrases.

Ive got used to them all.
