Do You Find It Unconfortable to Compliment Another Guy Bodybuilder?

[curling]

I sorta of do. I mean I see some dudes with huge arms and you can tell he has been on the routine for a while and has done some awesome work. And you would like to tell them but so many fags use that line, " wow do you workout?" And I don't want to ever look like a fag but I would like to compliment the dudes work. So I usually say nice work on you guns dude kind of non challantly(sp) as I can.

But anyway I was wondering if any other dudes have a hard time complimenting some other bros work?

 

[calvesodeath]

Not at all. We all work hard for our phsyiques and everone likes to be complimented

 

[bignate73]

no

but i dont compliment as the first thing i say, thats where you start to wonder if someone is using it as a line. if the first thing they say is something cheesy like "nice arms" or "how long have you been working out?" then it can come off as a pickup line. if you are just cool about it or already know the guy then its taken as it is meant, a compliment.

 

[gymtime]

Long as you don't do it in the steamroom.

I have no problem with issuing a compliment, it usually starts out as something like "I need to know how you got those traps." Sort of like, hey you succeeded at something, tell me how I can succeed too!

well, when you do it i really suggest doing a few things first. You will definately have to compliment him in the locker room, but before you can do this, you have to dye your pubic hair pink and take 2 viagras. After you do this walk up to him naked and tell him what you think of his 'awesome bod'

not really, i mean i u start to see who is a consistent lifter in your gym and respect each other, and know each other, and if a person tells u you are getting bigger or soemthing like that it just serves as motivatoin for me, progress=motivation.

i am flattered and pleased when another person at the gym comments favorably on my muscle development. favorable comments make me want to lifter heavier and harder. praise equals added incentive! we all want and desire praise for our hard work!

anyone who is uneasy about giving or receiving sincere muscular development compliments had serious issues with his own sexuality.

 

[The Dude]

You shouldn't unless you're really insecure with your sexuality.

Props!

Nope, if someone has a great physique or superior development in certain body parts there's nothing wrong with giving the guy his props. However, strength-power-explosiveness are the things that impress me. Those that do not fear heavy weight. Those that attempt to lift more than may be possible. These are the people who are not afraid to fail. True failure is in those who never dare to try. Props to every strength athlete out there that has placed himself or herself under a weight knowing that the chances are, it ain't coming back up!
