Not double standards ... look at the way bodybuilders are perceived by society now vs 25 years ago....
With Arnold Zane the Blonde Bomber etc you had a promoted image that being muscular was the ideal by the average joe....that kept on going up until the Haney/Labrada years ....
Not I don't mean the size of todays bodybuilders either ....Its all about the stigma (If you have read the thread from beginning)
Today with social media and pro bodybuilders behavior in general not many people want to be dealing/dating/interacting with a "meat head" let alone being one .
WoooSHHHHHHH
I see two things in this perceiving thing; the way traditional/social media portraits them and how someone presents himself. Things have changes for sure during the years, but the are numerous anecdotes about Arnold's bad behavior against women and other bodybuilders, like Robby Robinson for example.
When it comes to the current generation, a few weeks back we had Cedric Mcmillan who behaved like a class act by taking the time for everyone.
You will always have guys who present themselves badly, which has nothing to do with the era they're living in. The media is a different story tho, they're way more judgemental.
Its not really a double standard at all, since bodybuilders in the 70's had a MUCH different looking than bodybuilders of the 21st century.
Which one are most women going to find more attractive?
I was addressing their behavior, not their looks.
BTW, training to please the women is something for insecure freshmans.
