'livin' the scheme', that's a funny expression
Not going to defend him, but do you really believe that having a corporate job contributes to someone's well-being? Sure, in your imagination every BBer does g4p
I think that simply having a job contributes to not only oneself but society.
As for my imagination, well suffice to say I don't waste it on what BBs do in their spare time, LOL! You can simply look and see via the internet what a great many of them do for money. It's been that way for decades and while not all of them do it, many of them do. Why is that?
They are generally among the laziest of individuals. Look at Hollywood for insight. Quite often people wanting to be actors and actresses sell not only sell their soul but also their holes. I've got a couple of friends that have been through that wringer and it ain't pretty. Right now it's trendy for these "famous" people to bitch about it but I can assure you that they've been someone's "bitch" along the way to their "making it".
Bodybuilding requires even less talent than acting but the underlying theme is much the same and to deny that G4P exists is ridiculous. Not everyone does it and if you have the genetics to survive the relentless onslaught of drugs and can fund it yourself without having to resort to being the poster child for a "GoFuckMe" account, then good for you. And by "you" I mean "every man".
Not everyone that makes it sells themself to do so. Some people refuse to cross that line. Others just snort it and move on.
