wow Matt, you fell right into it like I used to with Walter. He made you look pathetic. You really have a lot of mental health issues going on, get some help.

I used to care what people on the internet said about me, now, whooooooo cares. They have zero effect on my life. Makes for some good laughs though at the insults they come up with

learn not to care Matt. Geezus youre a mess

Let’s get a few things straight:

You have the maturity level of a 10 year old.
You have advanced mental issues that require medical attention.
You live with your mom.
You wear Crocs - you are obviously a repressed homosexual.
You live like brokeass white trash in a hinterland hovel.
Sending a mandatory check to your baby mommas isn’t the same as being a responsible father.
You are a racist and an anti-Semite.
You are a spindly manlet with no grasp of reality.
You have accomplished NOTHING in the “sport” of bodybuilding.
Your entire life revolves around internet acceptance.
You are a weak man, in mind, body, and spirit.
You are a condescending know-it-all.
You are pathetic and your behavior is the direct result of how you are treated here.
Your posts are moronic and insipid on your best days.

Matt I am not ever going to give you my acceptance, so stop begging. You are a racist, and a nasty immature anti-Semite. That behavior overrules any of the supposed slights I have foisted upon you. You come into every thread trying to make it about you. You are Shizzo and PrimePedo wrapped into one slightly less obese and soggy package. You equate spending time with your kids (because you are unemployable) with raising them correctly. It isn’t a time issue - you are mentally incapable of being the guiding and teaching figure they need.

Don’t blame me for your shortcomings. I would typically not give a shit about some weirdo fake manlet playing strongman in some backwoods shithole. But if you are going to come on Ron’s board and into every thread and go out of your way to act like an unabashed racist....then you are going to get both barrels of Walter Sobchak all fucking day!

All fucking day, every day.

And Mini-Matt...if you moved that house to the suburb I live in near Chicago, I wouldn’t bother using it to park my cars in. What a neutral color tapestry joke - and clean up that squalor.

damnnnnnnnn this is next level. I hid under the bed after reading this

My standard for "rich" is having the means to live a middle class life (with medical care), even if you are unable to get another job.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/07/01/how-much-you-need-to-make-to-be-in-the-1-in-every-state/112002276/

To be part of the 1% in the US you need to earn around $550,000 yearly.  To be rich on getbig you need to own at least one private jet.

 ;D ;D ;D

^ I grin smiley means I find the post funny. Three means I had a legit LOL.

Here is socialist Canada, $80,000 a year puts you in the top 10% of income...$104,000 puts you in the top 1% [IIRC]. I may be misremembering that slightly: it may be that $103,000 puts you in the top 3%.

Either way, it's a joke.

Jordan Peterson said that to be in the top 1% globally, you need to earn only $34,000 a year [I assume USD].

When I was 19, I learned that the poorest citizen in Canada is in the top 7% of the global richest.

That's when I stopped subscribing to socialist "eat the rich" socialist redistribution schemes [rebranded communism, basically].

All of us here, regardless of wealth, are fortunate to live in North America [as most of us do].

As long as my kids don't go without, I'm happy.

Also - I know no Getbiggers will admit to being poor, but what about having millions of dollars do you think would make your life better? To me, the best part of having money is not having to work the 9 to 5 grind. I got to be a full-time dad. THAT mattered to me.

Can anyone here tell me the joy that comes from having more toys? Because I'm not seeing it.

Let’s get a few things straight:

You have the maturity level of a 10 year old.

No, I don't. Give me the names of three psychologists in Thunder Bay. Send them each a check to prepay for a psychological test that makes a determination on maturity level. I'll post all three results on Getbig. But you need to pay for it.

Quote
You have advanced mental issues that require medical attention.

No, I don't. I have some degree of lock-down depression, and that won't go away until my police state province returns to normalcy. Unlike you, I have no issue admitting what's up with me. Most people hide their issues and struggles, and live lives suffering in silence. I shine light on any issues/struggles I face, in order to draw the attention of the people who can help me overcome them. Also, you "own multiple companies" [no you don't], remember? So how come you're diagnosing me with mental issues? Let me guess - you're a fully trained medical doctor, and you run the "multiple companies" you own in your off-time?  ::)

I'm not a doctor, but my diagnosis for you is that you lie a lot - particularly to yourself.

Quote
You live with your mom.

Haha, so you like my house, do you?  :) :D This is why I know you're lying:

You told me you own a house and other property so expensive that you could buy my province. Ok - say I believe you. If you DID own such an expensive house, my lowly $600,000 house would be a SHACK to you - and that's what you would say about it.

But no. Now that I proved to you I live in a nice 22-month-old house, you claim I live with my mom.

And NOTHING I say or do or post will prove otherwise to you.

Ok Walter:

Give me TEN random times over the next 48 hours, and I'll post VIDEOS entering EVERY ROOM IN MY HOUSE, to show they are empty, and that I live alone.

ANY TIMES. I'll even scream in the video, to show I'm home alone.

Even if I did that, you'd say "You just got your mom to leave at 3:45am to make it look like you live alone."

Hahahahahaha.

NOTHING I do will make you believe me.

But your lies are obvious - if you live in a home as expensive as you claim, you would think my house is a shack. But you don't. You ACKNOWLEDGE I live in a nice home, so now you default to claim I live with my mom. Which proves to me you don't live in an expensive home, or else you would think my house is a shack, and wouldn't need to suggest I live with my mom to come to grips with the fact my home is nice. Either way, you saying I live with my mom is a tacit way of you saying my house is nice, and thus it couldn't possibly be my own.

So just to be clear - you ACKNOWLEDGE my home is nice...but I live with my mom...right? And that explains it?

Ok, so at least my parents are millionaires, right?

Quote
You wear Crocs - you are obviously a repressed homosexual.

In 2006, I owned a pair of crocks. I'm not a repressed homosexual. But just to be clear:

You think a repressed homosexual would openly/publicly follow bodybuilding, partake in discussions about which actor is the best looking or has the best physique, and post controversial truths about the association between homosexuality and HIV spread *while being called homophobic*?

I'll ask this again: are you a FUCKING idiot?

WHY would I be open about things WAY more taboo than being homosexual, but be scared to be publicly homosexual - something NO ONE CARES ABOUT?

So I have no problem saying THE most stigmatized facts - facts that 95% of the population is scared to say due to employment fears and being socially ostracized - but I'm a closet homosexual who has spent almost 20 YEARS being publicly associated with bodybuilding, despite the possible gay connotations, in addition to having NO PROBLEM saying Brad Pitt was a beautiful man in Sleepers.

WHY THE F*CK WOULD I MAKE A COMMENT LIKE THAT IF I AM A CLOSET HOMOSEXUAL TRYING TO HIDE MY SEXUAL ORIENTATION??

The reason why I OPENLY make such comments sometimes is BECAUSE I am straight, and perfectly comfortable with that - and not concerned if some ACTUAL IMMATURE people [like you] assume any straight man willing to compliment another man must be gay. Are you in high school?

Dennis Newman is handsome. Gunter Schkierkamp is handsome.

There is NOTHING gay about acknowledging that. Again, unless you are in high school.

Quote
You live like brokeass white trash in a hinterland hovel.

So? I live life on my own terms. I enjoy simple things. NOTHING is more important to me than my health and my family. There is NO amount of money or material riches or ANYTHING that I would trade if it meant living my life without my kids.

As for my White Trash life:

Pre-COVID, I would spend the day with my kids, enjoy a nice workout and sauna/hot tub/pool, go home, lie down on my couch to read Getbig and watch YouTube videos, shoot a load, and go to bed.

Do you have a problem with this? Yep - you are right that I have a nice, simple life. And it's all on my own terms.

Quote
Sending a mandatory check to your baby mommas isn’t the same as being a responsible father.

Mandatory implies a court order. Family courts have ruined many lives - especially lives of men. I wanted to leave the courts out of it. That's why I not only voluntarily paid spousal support - but I OVERPAID it. I paid for ALL my children's expenses, AND I paid their mothers spousal support, just to make their lives easy, so I could spend as much time with my kids as I wanted. Both my parents think I'm an idiot for overpaying...but I love my kids, and I did it in part  out of fear of Canada's anti-male family courts. I didn't realize that in 2007, family courts here became much more egalitarian. But I don't regret overpaying. It allowed me to spend every day with my babies during their formative years - which were the best years of my life.

Tell me - are you accusing me of father absenteeism to make me melt? Is this how you address people in real life?

I'm astonished - to insult a person is one thing, but I would NEVER accuse someone of being a bad father! Those are fighting words.

Quote
You are a racist and an anti-Semite.

You voted for Trump - all Trump supporters are considered racist by some [lots of] people. Do you consider yourself racist? You also told Vince Goodrum he likes "grape drank" and KFC. Do you not think people would consider you racist for saying that?

Quote
You are a spindly manlet with no grasp of reality.

I thought spindly means long or long-limbed, and weak? I'm none of those. I am a manlet, yes. But I find women are forgiving on male height as long as the guy is not shorter than they are.

No grasp on reality? Is that why I was posting what a joke COVID is when you were going along with it?

Remember how you posted that Illinois is opening up, and you're happy about it? Haha, you do whatever the government tells you, because you're afraid of being arrested!

Meanwhile, I haven't followed ANY of the COVID mandates.

Feel free to post ANY claim I've stated that has been proven wrong.

Quote
You have accomplished NOTHING in the “sport” of bodybuilding.

I reached 220 million YouTube views on my bodybuilding channels. That made me the #10 most viewed online bodybuilding video source in the world.

I was Bodybuilding.com's #18 top affiliate partner worldwide in 2007.

As for bodybuilding [muscle-building] - I'm a classic ectomorph. My bodybuilding genetics SUCK. I have genetically low muscle fiber concentration, and reject theories like "hyperplasia". Bottom line: you can't build what isn't there. I realized early on I have bad genetics for bodybuilding. That's why I decided not to seriously pursue it, and just trained for strength and health.

WHERE did I ever claim to have ANY success, or even POTENTIAL, in bodybuilding?

Quote
Your entire life revolves around internet acceptance.

So I have posted the most unpopular, most "controversial" suppressed truths online for almost 14 years now, to gain "acceptance"?

So I post facts, knowing I will be called racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, homophobic, and more, in a personal quest to gain "acceptance"?

Reality: I post what I do because 95% of people can't, because they fear getting reprimanded at work - even fired. I post the most unpopular topics because people like you aren't allowed to, and need to hide behind anonymous usernames to speak your mind. I'm under no such pressure.

But you honestly think I post the most culturally "unacceptable" material online to gain "acceptance"?

How does that make ANY sense? I speak my mind to proliferate unpopular facts because others cannot! And I do it knowing full well it will damage my social reputation, and limit my options in life.

Luckily, I don't care. I'm comfortable, set for life, and say whatever I want. And there's nothing ANYONE can do about it.

Quote
You are a weak man, in mind, body, and spirit.

So bench pressing 225x26, 250x17, and 315x8 is "weak" to you?

What do you consider "strong"?  ???

I have been weak in mind and spirit lately - especially in spirit. I don't think hiding that is a good thing. Opening up about that here runs the risk of people making fun of me - but only you have done so. Most Getbiggers have been supportive of me, and I'm grateful and blessed to share a board with such a positive group of supportive guys.

I've been feeling a bit better lately, and I owe Getbig in part for that. So to any of the good dudes reading this: thank you for talking to me during this depressing period of my life, and thanks for lending me an ear.

Two Getbiggers who recognized I was in distress invited me to talk to them on the phone. And I thanked them for that. It means a lot. We should all be so lucky to have such supportive people in our lives.

Quote
You are a condescending know-it-all.

When I confidently assert my views - it is because I am stating facts derived from primary sources. When I do so firmly, it's because my data is NOT open for debate. Are you suggesting I should state objective irrefutable facts with doubt? If what I'm saying is observably true, why shouldn't I express such things with complete confidence?

I am not condescending to anyone who engages with me cordially, and shows me a basic modicum of respect. When people insult me, call me a bigot or imply it, or otherwise disrespect me, then YES, I am condescending.

I would NEVER be condescending to anyone who interacts with me respectfully. AbrahamG, for instance, is a pretty consistently respectful Democrat. That's why I enjoy reading his posts, and sharing a dialogue with him. I find, like most liberals, he is contradictory at times, and that sometimes pushes me to condescend. But I only ripped into him recently because he called Fortress a prick.

I don't care what race, sex, sexual orientation, political stripe, religion, or anything else anyone is - I treat individuals on the basis of their individual actions. I don't need money, which is why respect means more to me. As long as people show respect to others, I return that same respect to them.

Do I at times condescend to others if personally attacked, or disrespected? Yes. But I try never to do so without reason or history to justify it.

Quote
You are pathetic and your behavior is the direct result of how you are treated here.
Your posts are moronic and insipid on your best days.

Well...I love this board, lol. Getbig is literally my favourite website online. YouTube used to be...but they are too agenda-driven and political now. They are basically Cable News now, online.

My posts are long, but they are not moronic. Insipid...well...as I said, I all be shortening my posts starting later today.

Quote
Matt I am not ever going to give you my acceptance, so stop begging. You are a racist, and a nasty immature anti-Semite. That behavior overrules any of the supposed slights I have foisted upon you. You come into every thread trying to make it about you. You are Shizzo and PrimePedo wrapped into one slightly less obese and soggy package. You equate spending time with your kids (because you are unemployable) with raising them correctly. It isn’t a time issue - you are mentally incapable of being the guiding and teaching figure they need.

Don’t blame me for your shortcomings. I would typically not give a shit about some weirdo fake manlet playing strongman in some backwoods shithole. But if you are going to come on Ron’s board and into every thread and go out of your way to act like an unabashed racist....then you are going to get both barrels of Walter Sobchak all fucking day!

All fucking day, every day.

And Mini-Matt...if you moved that house to the suburb I live in near Chicago, I wouldn’t bother using it to park my cars in. What a neutral color tapestry joke - and clean up that squalor.

I didn't ask for your acceptance - you initiated our beef by calling me weak. I responded by stating I am not weak, especially for my size. Was it my hope that you would acknowledge that? Sure. You can acknowledge I am, at the least, strong for my size without "accepting" me.

To me, that's just a matter of agreeing on base reality. Why do you consider me weak? What is your definition of "strong"?

Why do you own your own companies [you don't]? Are you unemployable? What if I told you not everyone wants to work for some "woke" bureaucracy, and deal with workplace headaches and drama?

Making up comments about my relationship with my kids is just nasty. There are multiple things you said about me that are valid, yet you feel the need to make things up? Also - and not just about me - calling someone a bad father is a dick move. Reading your posts, I think you are nasty, and a liar. I don't know if you have kids, but if you do, I would NEVER insinuate you were a bad father without possessing STRONG evidence proving that.

Some things, you just don't say. It would be like me saying you hate your mom and dad.

Also, I never blamed you for my shortcomings. I consider your posts to be negative contributions to the board, but that's not for me to decide. And I can handle personal attacks, and have for years.

But it's when you brought my family into the discussion and stated I am a bad father on a public forum where I post using my real name that I drew the line. You can follow me around in every post I write, and every thread I start. You can call me ANY NAMES YOU WANT. But bringing my CHILDREN into the discussion, all of whom are 11 and under is just an absolute piece of shit thing to do.

And if you owned "multiple companies" and lived in the million dollar house you claim, you wouldn't be such a bitter, caustic person. You claim all-around personal success, and insult me like you're in high school.

That's why I don't believe you have the success you claim. You can call me weird, but anyone reading your posts, where you do nothing but viciously tear others down, would assume you are a miserable, unhappy person.

But you own multiple companies, and live in a million dollar house, and warm up with my workout right?

Uh huh.

If that's true, and you're still so miserable that you insult people online who you don't know, every day, I actually feel sad for you. For you to have so much success in life, but spend your time trashing people online - even their families - just makes me think that no amount of success will make you happy.

But that's a moot point - you don't own multiple companies, you don't live in a million dollar home, and you're not stronger than me. Prove it.

Enjoy your life in Chicago - it's in the Guiness Book of World Records for being the only city that has more murders than Thunder Bay.  :-\ :-X  :D  :P

Rich is an arbitrary term.

There's being rich (from a numbers standpoint) vs being wealthy and I think the distinction is what you should concentrate on.

If you make a large amount of money (say $1million per month) you could say that you're rich, but if your expenses add up to $1.1million per month, you're no longer rich, but instead are falling into deep debt. Even if your salary suggests otherwise, by living above your means, you are no better than the average poor person.

If you have assets that generate income for you on a monthly basis and that income allows you to not have to have a JOB (because the income generated is enough to pay for all your costs of living), then you are wealthy. Aim to be wealthy and the idea of money will change in your mind. The concept of being rich is a moment in time. With the value of money changing over time, your definition and my definition of rich will always fluctuate, but the definition of wealth doesn't.

The wealthiest man in the room is not the one with the most money, but instead the one with the most time. Show me the man who has the most amount of free time to do whatever his heart desires and that man is in fact the wealthiest. Money has no true inherent value, hence why the value of real estate, stocks and money itself (currency index) can change from day to day. What has true value is time, as it is a limited commodity and it stands still for no man. Find a way to maximize your free time and that in turn maximizes your life, maximize your life and you will in turn have more time for your family (partner + children), have more time to spend with those you love and value the most and your time spent on this earth will never be in vain.

By "GetBig" standards, I'd say the wealthiest man in the room is the ideal to aim for.

Rich is an arbitrary term.

There's being rich (from a numbers standpoint) vs being wealthy and I think the distinction is what you should concentrate on.

If you make a large amount of money (say $1million per month) you could say that you're rich, but if your expenses add up to $1.1million per month, you're no longer rich, but instead are falling into deep debt. Even if your salary suggests otherwise, by living above your means, you are no better than the average poor person.

If you have assets that generate income for you on a monthly basis and that income allows you to not have to have a JOB (because the income generated is enough to pay for all your costs of living), then you are wealthy. Aim to be wealthy and the idea of money will change in your mind. The concept of being rich is a moment in time. With the value of money changing over time, your definition and my definition of rich will always fluctuate, but the definition of wealth doesn't.

The wealthiest man in the room is not the one with the most money, but instead the one with the most time. Show me the man who has the most amount of free time to do whatever his heart desires and that man is in fact the wealthiest. Money has no true inherent value, hence why the value of real estate, stocks and money itself (currency index) can change from day to day. What has true value is time, as it is a limited commodity and it stands still for no man. Find a way to maximize your free time and that in turn maximizes your life, maximize your life and you will in turn have more time for your family (partner + children), have more time to spend with those you love and value the most and your time spent on this earth will never be in vain.

By "GetBig" standards, I'd say the wealthiest man in the room is the ideal to aim for.

Maybe you are. If you do not need to work another day of your life and you have automatic income that can sustain your overhead costs (property taxes, mortgage/rent, utilities, food & transportation) for the rest of your natural life, then you are very wealthy indeed.

Why exist in a reality where you have to trade the best years of your life for money? Humans lead a very sad existence when you truly look at our realities in a capitalistic society. We have full time jobs and part time lives. We exchange the best years (25-65) of our lives in order to make a "name" for ourselves and generate income, to then believe that a retirement some time past the ages of 64-67 would allow for glorious years of leisure and travel. Little do most people realize that the average life expectancy is 78 years of age. To only enjoy retirement for a meager 10 years (on average) of your elderly life is a sad predicament to find yourself in. Not to mention that you'll likely not have the physical stamina or mental capacity to truly appreciate what it is that retirement then means.

But yes Josh, to answer your question, you are wealthy by the aforementioned standards. Remember, there are levels to the measure of wealth.

I have a roof, food, everything is paid for, no debt, no payments and no desire for high end materialistic things. All I care is Gazoo is happy and I can roll out and go fishing whenever I want, and I can. And thats more than enough for me.
