Wondering...

[tripleV]

There have been alot of men posting on here referring to questions for their "girlfriends, wives, fiancés, etc." and my question is why aren't they coming on here and finding out for themselves?

This is not a bash or anything, I am honestly just curious as for the reasons.

I'm thinking it's either they don't know about the site, they don't want to find out and just want the guy to tell them or something else?

I personally believe that you are going to be putting anything in your body, you should know everything and anything about that product and what could possibly occur as a result of your actions. I would never take anything from even my husband without knowing everything about it first. Someitmes guys just don't know about the effects of stuff they take on girls and I think that's dangerous.

 

[tripleV]

also...these posts usually come AFTER they have already taken the stuff. These sorts of questions should be asked and answered well before this point!

 

[Phemomena]

yup.. the ones that usually make me fume are the "i'm putting my wife/girl on xyz"... you're PUTTING HER ON IT???? are you her Doctor?? does she not have a mind/voice/hands of her own???

 

[BrickGirl]

I agree 100%, I also think the guys want to seem "real smart" for the girls, so they come here, and get the info, and then tell them as if they knew it

This site is kind of a sacred secret second life for most people and they would probably like to keep it that way. I bet your boyfriend could figure out who you are after reading posts for a while. I sure as hell don't tell anyone that I post on this site. I don't need like to reveal my agendas and weaknesses and such to the people around me. It's just too much for them to know. For example, I don't want my friends or my boyfriend knowing that i do dnp.

my husband actually does not post on here, he's not really into that sort of thing.

However, he has enjoyed the info i've come up with and the answers to some of his questions. Now he sees the value in my so called wasted time on here.

He does AS and did before I met him. I found out about this site from a friend.

 

[tripleV]

i haven't done AS yet! However, I will very soon and I would have never done it based on his knowledge alone. Even though he is experienced with himself, he doesn;t know alot about the effects on women. I shock him all the time with stuff I know now.

 

[ladyhawk25]

I AGREE 100% TO AND WHATS SAD IS THAT THE GIRL IS LETTING THE GUY CONTROL HER IF HE IS TELLING HER AND PUTTING HER ON THIS AND THAT . I THINKS THATS VERY DEGRATING OF WOMAN HOOD !!!!!! WE DO HAVE MINDS OF OUR OWN AND SOME OF THESE GIRLS JUST LET THERE MEN WALK ALL OVER THEM TELLING THEM WHAT THEY CAN AND CANT DO WHAT THEY SHOULD AND SHOULDNT EAT , ECT .......

Look at how many girls you see in the gym with their boyfriends/husbands and consider how many of them would be there on their own without the bf/hubby. Its a "guy thing"...

At least the guys ARE asking here and recognizing that putting their ladies on AS might possibly have different effects or require "special knowledge"... The best we can do is encourage these guys to get the ladies on the boards to ask their own questions and increase their own knowledge.

 

[tripleV]

i agree. when a guy posts such a question, the first thing i recommend is that she come to the boards too!

I agree 300%. Unless a guy has a VERY good reason for asking on his partners behalf I don't even bother answering their Q's. Second hand info from your male partner is inferior in my opinion. Often there are hidden agendas and stuff the guys never pass because THEY don't think it's important or don't want their gals to be empowered to make their own decisions. This is one area where I feel a little solidarity would come in handy.

I will confess : My hubby got me started on my gear ; has taught me all I know ( which aint a lot ; and I work out with him every day. If somebody was to lead me astray.....it wouldnt be my spouse. I put 100% of my trust in him....besides my body He sure as shit doesnt want to see me growing a beard or anything....he also led me to this board---- which I am also grateful.Enough said--now dont flame me to hard

Why would you not want people close to you to not know? I'm asking seriously, not bashing.

Why would you not want people close to you to not know?

In its simplest case, just being a female who lifts weights can get you stereotyped by those who dont' understand. Call it body building and all of a sudden you get into stupid conversations with women who "don't want to get big". Do competition body building and all of a sudden people who are regulars at McDonalds are telling you how unhealthy it is and how you must be "doing steroids". At that point, you are now packaged in with every other person who might be abusing drugs of any sort and involved in illegal activity.

The sport itself has so many negative stereotypes that its just hard to get into those conversations with people. And many people just don't want to take the time to understand it. Just read the AS board -- there are plenty of relationships that have been threatened because the girl found out the guy was using. My mom still gets upset when I just start talking about diet or doing another competition.

ok.. I'm rambling... but because of the perceptions of AS use, I think it just keeps it simpler sometimes. For those who can accept the use, then you can talk. If not, maybe easier to just not mention it...

 

[Fonz]

LOL Warlobo........haha

Personally, my whole bloody family thinks steroids
are EVIL..........LOL
I doesn't matter how much knowledge I possess on
the subject in question. Society thinks its "wrong",
so they think so to.
Also, being a catholic family doesn't exactly help
matters.
And no, they don't know,and they probably never will.

DNP? They'd probably have a coronary if they knew
I took it.

The funny part is that most people think steroids
are a magic pill...haha
Ask a person to name 10 steroids.........99% of
steroid-bashers won't be able to answer this.
Works every time.

If it weren't for this board I'd go nuts.......LOL

Godspeed

 

[Phemomena]

now, hmmm i wonder what would happen if i went over to the A board and asked the bros to help me plan a cycle for my fiance?

hehe.... gotta try that one day... not today... boards are really slow for me tonite... going to bed soon

 

[Sassy69]

LOL @ Phem-- they might think your fiance is a wuss for not asking for himself...?

Interesting tho....!

Wow Sassy... i totally hear that. i cant talk to my family OR friends about any of this. My two brothers are pretty buff and into training and all but not into comps. Nobody in the family never says a peep to them when down a protein shake or "lift like a man" but ooooohhh brother.. i get the "what are trying to do to yourself.. i never thought my daughter would want to be a body bulider!?!?" If i so much as express my interest in "body buliding," we begin the game of 21 questions . its sad really , i just dont understand where oh where my sanity would be without my elite gals? luv ya!

 

[tripleV]

OK

1)
Lobo's post. I agree, I honestly wasn't bashing and was really looking for reasons why the women didn't get on here themselves. AND...you made me think a bit more about the good part of them asking...Will try to be more helpful.

2)
Phem's post about asking for her fiancé on the AS board. I actually did post some questions on my husbands behalf and stated that. Didn't get much of a response so I changed my posts to "for a friend". That didn't really help either so I decided to just ask for myself and that didn't work because they wanted my stats!

SO....
I guess the best place is here, so let's appreciate it!

 

[badgirl1]

My husband did help me get started & I am glad he did find this board, it has been helpful to me.I was shy about asking questions ,but not no more. I get great information for women here!
