In my younger years I was seeking a bit of attention so I wanted to look like Arnold. I wanted to leave humanity behind and block out the sun with my lats. I wanted to llok like a beast in order to attract girls. Only later on did I realize that that looking like an obvious bodybuilder even from 50 yards away mainly attracted attention from dudes.
As I get a little older I think it's best to look normal and then blow everyone's tits off when they see you at the beach with your shirt off. I've been downsizing a little bit this year and I think it's for the best. When I'm on my bigger end I look like a doofus when I try to wear regular clothing. I look fat even when I'm not really fat.
What say you all?
I agree with pretty much everything you said, and that's no surprise as we are usually on the same page regarding many topics. I don't know how tall or how big you are/were P4W. My biggest was 203 at 5'4" and no guy ever hit on me then...I was about 10-12% % BF then, so not ripped, but not fat. Never got hit on by gay dudes.
B4 getting to that size it took from going from 120 to about 160 b4 I stopped hearing "he's hot, but he's too short" to starting to get some good tail. So my reasons for wanting to get big were some of the same as yours bro. The bigger I got, the more girls started coming at me. I worked at a gym which made it even easier, cuz the girls there were into fitness too. I didn't even have to try anymore. Same goes for HS. Chicks that turned me down as a freshman/sophomore, all of the sudden were coming to me at parties telling me they thought I was hot and hooking up with them.
I guess what I'm getting at is the whole bs, about girls saying "eww...gross" when it comes to bb'ers is bullshit!!!! It's easy as fuck to get laid even as a midget like me when you are jacked. Working at gyms, I've known of soooo many hot married chicks fucking bb'ers on the side of their "happily married" farce (I'm not talking about me, so this is not a bragging statement). They marry for security, and fuck the fittest....it's in their nature. IMO, chicks just say that bcuz they don't think they have a chance as most don't workout or get into the kind of shape they think is "worthy" of a bber wanting them. The reality is when you're juiced to the gills you'll fuck about any chick as long as she's not below a 6....maybe less if you're partying and wasted.
As for the gay guy shit. I didn't get that at all until I was 28 working again later in life the second time at another Gold's, and was on the heaviest stack (around 1,300 mgs total, and best shape which was 193-197 at 8.5-9%) I'll add I think though that it was partially because around that time the whole LGB thing started gaining momentum, they felt more empowered, and they saw me every day as friendly person.... which was just a part of my job, and am actually not very friendly at all. Especially now after all this political, and covid shot bullshit.
I had a dude that sat and watched me do 3 sets of cable curls on the Icarian multi-station....I don't remember his name, but later found out he was making comments to dudes in the locker room about their arms. I was like wtf?, and finally asked him if he wanted to work in? He said "no, I just love how hard you workout and your arms". I said "hey dude, I know your gay and I don't care, but you're creeping me the fuck out, and I don't go that way. I give you respect, and expect the same, so either go away, or I'm kicking you out for harassment" He never was a problem again for me, and never heard complaints about him out of the locker room about him again.
I think back then things were "transitioning" for gays, and they didn't realize straight dudes in the gym, especially those of us that worked there, knew who was into that if that makes sense. This guy hit on my bosses husband who was later a part of Benghazi if that tells you how unaware of how obvious and forward the gays were. He was actually the first one that came to me, and said what the dude said to him, and "hey I think you guys have a problem here."
There was only one other gay issue which I have talked about on here b4, and I'm lucky I didn't get run over and killed during the incident. Basically, my friends and I all left a club. We had parked in an ally way. A group of gays walked up on us while we were pissing on the wall, and one came up behind me "saying what you working with?" and tried to grab me dick while I was pissing. I turned around after tucking my shit in, and tried to knock him the fuck out, but was so drunk and fucked up on G I missed. All his friends and him rushed to the car to get out of there......I was by far the smallest built dude in our group so I'm by no means saying I am a bhanks type badass, but.....I was irate and went to try to get in front of their car which wasn't stopping. I threw a punch through the window as they passed, and the back of the car door window hit my arm knocking me backward to the ground luckily vs. under the tires.
I think the leaner while being big is the gay's preference, which works for me cuz I have a hard time getting really lean and maintaining that look. I picked that look in the poll just because I prefer it, and at almost 50 I haven't gone to clubs in two decades so the almost dying issue would never happen again, and I think it is healthier than huge 24/7.
