Do You Find It Unconfortable to Compliment Another Guy Bodybuilder?

[Rocket]

I don't think it's "Gay" to compliment a man on the hard work he's done. People often ask me "do you lift" I say "yes" they say "you look good" I say "thank you" I don't think they are coming on to me.

I think we should all compliment each other in a way that makes us look better...



"Hey, dude... great arms... (Flexes) ...but look at these babies."

I never find it uncomfortable to compliment another girl, but the sometimes take it as jealousy. (I am a chick.) I mostly don't comment to the guys, cuz they usually take it as a come on, so I try to ignore the guys there. I can't even get a spot without men thinking I want them. Don't really understand this, cuz I have been asked by men to spot them and thought that they just needed a spot, not a conversation. Why is this sometimes vice versa?

I would not have a problem with a female complimenting me (male). I would not take it as a come on... Nobody likes me anyway, but respect for hard work is still respect for hard work.

I have this same problem. But I learned to say stuff that actually works like if someone's dumbell pressing or seated db rowing, I say, "Damn, what happens when you want to move up?" meaning damn these 180lb dumbells are not enough. Or I start off by saying "Shit, are you a powerlifter or something?" I also say stuff like, "I feel bad for your XXL shirt" like when their arms are busting out. As you can see I compliment these guys a lot. No one thinks of it as gay when I do it.

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?

what kinda guys complement you??
to make you think like dat?

Hey listen I have no question about my sexuality. I dig women almost too much. But I have seen on movies or heard from other body builders that homos come on to them by using such line "as wow do you work out?" and crap like that.

And like I said I still do compliment dudes and I like it myself when I get complimented.

Well, unless you're a newbie, you can almost always know who trains hard and who doesn't. If someone has crazy arms, atleast for someone's arms to catch your eye, they obviously have done some type of training, unless its construction work or something. That's why I see it as a dumb question to ask "do you work out" and it sounds more like a pick up line. And if you ask someone that in the gym, you sound like a dumb ass because they are working out at the moment obviously.
