SOME THINGS I'VE NOTICED IS THAT RANDOM PEOPLE I SEE OUT OR WORK WITH ARE ALOT MORE FRIENDLY,NOT THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE TO BE NICE TO ME CAUSE IM ALOT BIGGER. AS FAR AS GIRLS GO YES YOU WILL NOTICE A BETTER REACTION I KNOW I DID.ALOT OF GIRLS SAY THAT THEY DONT CARE ABOUT BUFF GUYS,BUT I BELIEVE THEY ALL WANT A BIG MAN.YOU WILL ALSO NOTICE PEOPLE AT THE GYM SAYING HI TO YOU & TALKING TO YOU THAT NEVER DID BEFORE,ASKING FOR ADVICE & SHIT LIKE THAT. ------------------ Bros before Hos IP: Logged |

actually i get that "your too big" alot. of course i don't really think i'm that big. people definitely treat you differently. guys give you more respect, girls give you more attention. of course you do get stereotyped to as one of those "muscleheads". but i think you already knew this things... ------------------ "The greatest risk is not taking one."

Girls always say that they're not into muscleheads and they want the skinny preppy type, but when you show you're buffness, which they've never been exposed to personally, they will melt in your hands. Plus, you could get away with almost any lie... like you could say you're special forces, a professional athlete, marital arts master, wrestler, firefighter, whatever you want and since you're so huge, they'll believe it. Guys wil also fear you but you'll make a lot of enemies too b/c of jealousy. IP: Logged |

Some of this has probably already been said but here we go: I usually get alot of questions from folks about diet, training, supplements etc. More people are polite to you than if you were 40lbs lighter, also I am stereotyped alot for using AS, I guess people just omit hard work and dedication and assume your on AS which is insulting at times. Some girls like it but my favorite is when I get eeewwww thats just too much(means borderline freak), thats a compliment to me. Guys are either jealous or like I said above polite and want to be your friend for the day. I have to get my pants made which is expensive and time consuming, sometimes it is uncomfortabe being big, I am always pretty damn hot, if it was 50 degrees out I would have on a t shirt and some shorts. Food is your best friend, I should have a shirt that says "Protein is Life". If your big the weight you push is most likely pretty heavy in all aspects so you must come to the realization that injuries are inevitable and that they teach you lessons for the future. Being Big means you are guaranteed to shit at least 4-5 times a day, meals must be prepared the night before, if one has a respectable physique then there is alot of dedication and hard work that goes into that, the results are priceless, I am sure there are plenty of other things associated with being big but this is all I could think of for now, sorry for the unorginization of my thoughts on this subject.

Women just stare and admire, some guys ask if I was a gymnist or played football. The best is getting the girls to touch your muscles. (Including the best one!! HEE HEE) IP: Logged |

Its hard sometimes. Yes, women do throw themselves at you, but its not always attractive young women. Its overweight women and old women too. Sometimes they throw themselves at you, and I feel embarassed for them. I'm just one man, I can't possible satisfy all these women alone. Sometimes I want people to want me for my mind, as well as my body. Sometimes I just want to be held! HOLD ME SOMEONE!!! Seriously bro, I don't know anymore. I'm 29, too old, not the young stallion I once was. I used to get more bumper than a bodyshop. Now its a sock and the Playboy channel. Oh yeah, I don't have the Playboy channel anymore. I am so depressed. IP: Logged |

I can tell you about being ripped and part of the college wrestling team was an awesome experience. I stayed home and went to the local college and had a couple articles run in the local paper. Which was realy cool and it brought out people to watch the meets. which was realy nice for everyone on the team. You don't normally get a crowd. I wrote for the college paper - go figure I can't spell or put a sentence together to save my life - I covered all the college sports teams. All in all it was nice. People would ask all the time to see my abs and flex my arm - wanting to check and see if I looked like the pictures in the paper. The coolest part is when I would I go out to dinner and the owner of local restaurants would be like I saw you in the paper and shit and this ones on me come back soon. That always cool with a date. I used to get stopped by people all the time saying they knew me and shit - I had never meet them before in my life - that realy sucked when my girl was along. She would asked were do you know her from and shit. Even 8 years later I get every now and then - your that wrestler right. I always love the what happened line? Shit man I got old and busted up! Some time I think being a pro athlete wouldn't be worth it. CYA [This message has been edited by Cleaner (edited August 09, 2000).] IP: Logged |

I'm not a huge guy, like I said a few times before, I'm 5'7" and about 185 at maybe 10% body fat. Older women just latch on to me and flirt non-stop, but hell, I'm only 22!! not too many girls will look at me, but then again, I don't show off too much, besides, 16" arms aren't that spectacular but to the common folk they look huge. By Dec. I should be around 205 (with any luck) I'm hoping for 1 1/2 inch on my arms, 17" inches is acceptable to show off. Then I might wait a year, then hit a few more cycles and get up to 18" if I can (I don't know if my genetics will let me keep this much muscle, but it's worth a shot anyway) I do wish I was ripped though, I can't seem to get below 10% bodyfat! I'd look so much bigger if I was ripped... ------------------ IP: Logged |

5ft 11 1/2in 255lbs with 32in waist. Not sure if that is big, but much bigger and stronger than I was in Highschool.\ Don't get in as many fights. I always have full of shit drunks wanting to talk about working out at the bar. I alway give my beeper # to them and invite them to come to my home gym and train if they would like. They are welcome, only because they bring it up. I have yet to have one of them page me, however I did have one of thems girlfrieds e-mail me the next day! hehehehehehe! IP: Logged |

People are a lot more polite to me, as Havoc said. I don't get in many fights, but there has been occasions of some drunk little guy that wants to prove a point. Long Island has a lot of wanna-be tough guys. I can't wait to move out of here again. I also get a lot of questions about diet and training. I always reply that it comes down to HARD WORK. Because it does. I get all kinds of crazy shit from women. In brief: I was talking to a girl at a bare one night - it was obvious that she was interested - and another little cutie walked right up to me and just said, "When you're done talking to her, come talk to me...." I didn't bother but you get the idea. When I lived in Florida, it was pretty much non-stop comedy at beaches or pools or whatever. A girl once asked her boyfriend to take a picture of me and her together - another girl wanted a kiss for her birthday - right in front of the guy she was with, etc.... These stories are funny, but the bottom line is - I do this only for me. Matt IP: Logged |
