Ummmm...This all started (I think) because he called the manlette' (cool "French" spelling...NOT!) a "manlet". And then you said something about him not posting any pictorial proof?
Well, the subject of the thread is rather tiny height wise and HUGE ego and physique wise. To add reality to insult, he does take a bunch of PEDs elsewise he would turn sideways and disappear. Maybe. Odd that in the 60s, 70s and 80s no one ever referred to, for example, Franco Columbu or Danny Padilla as a manlet.
They were just short Men.
Exactly. Again, I don't really follow Seth but it's fair game to criticize his presentation. I'm sick of these muscle-men that lift weights, make sure they always get enough sleep, gorge themselves with food, take hormones and get tons of free supplements (which I do think help), act like there are these harden, seasoned warriors. They lift weights and make muscle man poses in the mirror in a bikini. Get some perspective. But people buy into it and inspires them to get to the gym and work harder just like Dorian's "Blood and Guts" inspired me. Something in my family don't understand and just roll their eyes and laugh at a grown man killing himself in the gym just to look like a mutant which they think is gross. And they represent the majority of the people. But not all, there's enough of us that made Dorian and success.
But when other's they think they don't deserve their success and start mocking their looks and height. That's bull shit. You try it. You try to break out of the pack and rise above the ordinary and average. There's nothing a person can do about their height. But I know I'd rather be short, strong, and muscular than short, weak, and skinny.
Life is unfair and many get the short (no pun) end of the stick and they're human and it bothers them. You can say it's all ego and just get over it but it matters to some. Who are you to say that it shouldn't? Short people are not treated the same as tall people. Same with fat people, poor people, ugly people.
I give props to those who just don't passively accept their lot in life but try to improve themselves and do what they can to improve the quality of their life, straighten their teeth, get a hair cut, improve their body, don't dress like a bum, get a good job that pays well and earns them some respect. Maybe Seth is so driven because he is short and it bothered him. Arnold admitted to being insecure and always wanting to be the center of attention. But these are the insecurities the drove them to success.
I am convinced that highly driven and ambitious people are not balanced individuals. But that's what gives them the drive to make a difference in this world. I was watching a documentary about the brutal rivalry better Kellog and Post on who the top dog for cereal would be. Working themselves to death. Hating each other. For cereal. Cereal FFS! They were both rich but that wasn't enough. Hershey built an entire town providing jobs and housing just to support his chocolate factory so he could be top dog. All for chocolate candy! These are not normal, well-balanced people but we as a society benefit from it.
