I can easily see why you would relate more to George Michael than to Mike Tyson.

I bet you have a wide bathroom stall stance.

LMAO! I wonder how many people will get that reference.

I would beg to differ.

If every man was happy with who and what they are there is no incentive to improve themselves which implies that they think they are perfect the way they are.

One of the biggest motivating factors in a boy's life who would go on to achieve greatness is a role model. Someone they wish to aspire to.




Everybody should think they are perfect within reason.I understand wanting to get bigger,stronger And tougher as that’s all being part of a man but you shouldn’t want to be another man just a better version of yourself.

Everybody wants to be as good as you can be.


Which can mean, stronger, faster, more athletic, prettier etc


Some dudes go the extremes and use surgery (which rarely improves), but most train something to become better than they originally were.


I never started training in the gym for looks, i was training Martial Arts at the time and wanted to be able to lift/toss heavier and punch stronger (i was young)

I wanted to become stronger and complement the MA-training.

After a while training in the gym, it changed. I was training in the gym more , and less training Martial Arts until a period where i only trained in the gym and no more MA.

I appreciated the strength-changes, but now i also noticed some body changes / aesthetic changes (i saw how my arms got bigger, chest got bigger etc) and was bitten by the iron-bug and enjoyed it more than punching, kicking etc

It ruined my Martial Arts-aspirations for sure but i gained something else.

But did you want to be someone else or just a better version of yourself?

Haha no, i wanted to be the best i could be, a lil stronger, a lil faster.

(so i could roll around more swiftly in Henda's hairy)



But i can understand young people who want to be someone else
(if they've had a bad upbringing, are bullied, weak, not popular etc)

My guess is that many more men in the 80’s wanted to be Mike Tyson (before the arrest) than Don Johnson.

Having been there in the 80’s, way more men would’ve chosen Johnson.  His looks, clothes, Ferrari, plus he would have been a way bigger pussy slayer than Tyson.  No woman would have turned down Johnson.  Tyson came off as an too crude, and he had that annoying feminine voice.

In the 70s George Peppard as Banacek was pretty damned cool - he had a car phone and he didn't need a sidekick.

I'm sure you learned all the martial arts worth learning.  After learning the basics guys are mostly just spinning their wheels.

Speak for yourself, my friend. I was in my twenties during the 1980s and never did I consider Don Johnson as my ideal. I would have much preferred Tom Selleck, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Harrison Ford... I never aspired for that yuppy look and act.

There's a common belief that once you reach Purple Belt level in BJJ, then you're training to beat other BJJ guys.
