Misc:Do you get treated differently now that u are muscular

[AlwaysBulking1]

Because I'm a Manlet ill occasionly have some fat slob at a party try and fight me, but the majority of the time it's great. I started off anorexic and suffering from bulimia so people who I haven't seen in years are shocked, often don't recognise me. A lot of young Aussies lift so it gives you something in common to talk about, mutual respect

compliments from dudes.
A lot of respect from dudes, and the obvious insecurity.

Lots of questions about working out, they never listen correctly so so i don't give much advice usually. Just brief advice.

Friends think i'm able to beat everyone up despite me not even being big.

[Crip55muscleMax]

nothing but compliments from guys, everyone you know/meet will think you take roids, girls will make fun of you more and not be as nice. people will think you're a stuck up douchebag off the bat


girls will look at you more. much much more, but actually approach less. except at raves, festivals, concerts, etc., you'll get girls screaming at you here and there because it's party mode


you'll find girls to react to you one of two ways.

1) im too good for you don't talk to me
2) act weird/shy

both make conversations harder

pretty much with every girl I'm with I first have to disarm myself from her thinking I'm some stuckup kunt so that she can relax and have a normal conversation as if with a regular brah

Holy **** dude stfu.
You have a tiny frame, tiny arms. My arm is the size of your torso.

I doubt you even lift.

[ResolutePurpose]

Friends compliment it, support it, make positive comments.

Normal guys give a little more respect.

Chitheads mean mug and some try to out-alpha you even if you don't give a flying fuk.

Sl00ts love it.

Regular girls assume cocky/superficial until you can portray your personality.

The BIGGEST difference though is that if you say something slightly cocky you come off as a douchebag. Your skinny friend says the exact same thing and it's a funny joke.

You have to tiptoe around coming off as too cocky because people are more insecure around you and assume that.

And I aint even that big.

Agreed fully.

The people closest to me support my fitness. My family thinks it's awesome. Randoms on the street in Tapout t-shirts and dark, bootcut jeans try to stick their chest out to compete. Girls find ways to make seemingly innocuous yet unnecessary physical contact (getting past me at a crowded dinner event doesn't require you keeping your hand on my tricep for 8 seconds and sliding it down my forearm). Girls you don't know automatically assume you're an egotistical, self-absorbed narcissist who has no space for anyone else in his life besides himself. Sarcastic comments come off as condescending, cocky, or pretentious. People think you have a holier-than-thou attitude.

The worst of it is at work. I'm a naturally confident person, so that plus the visible muscularity (plus the made-to-measure suits) really rubs some people the wrong way. I have to be scrupulous and dial everything down dramatically, which sucks, because I feel like I got hired both on my merits and for the personality I can bring. Being penalized because your commitment to health makes people interpret things poorly sucks.

[Fittler]

The main problem I have encountered since becoming muscular is that jeans don't fit me anymore, like not a single pair of fashionable jeans fits me properly.

My upper thighs chafe while walking and it sucks.

My GF honestly couldn't care less about my physique, I make gains and shes like I don't care what you look like. I do catch chicks mirin when I am at the gym though. Mostly get mired by dudes though lol

[MiiRa]

I'm not muscular yet (2014 goals pending tho), but I've dropped close to 40kgs, girls are COMPLETELY different. N if I knew them back in the day, n they act different to me now, I ignore the fuk out of their slutty shallow ass.

[jamgo1]

Definitely have people noticing I have gotten bigger. Sometimes I get random guys that say "I can tell you lift." Girl situation has gotten better aswell. But that has more to do with the confidence change from working out and getting bigger. Can't wait till summer and after cut. Beach time is gonna be fun as fuark.

Elaborate more on the attitudes of people from work towards you. Do they say anything or act a certain way and what do you have to dial down? Just curious

[mischman]

Being the only jacked/muscular guy at the swimming pool.Getting stairs like youre a freak.People making you self-conscious,feels,feels,feels

[iD0ntLift]

u get discrimination,people fear you and dont say anything to you in person and if they dont like you they talk behind your back.

This.

[IPlayRugby]

Get more respect from quite a few people.
Powerlifters in gym respect me cause my lifts @ my age and weight
Bitches mirin
Guys mirin
Get called cocky if i wear a singlet in public
Feel like a ******* with shirt off

[xStane]

- not a single pair of jeans can be bought since the day i started training legs(and they arent even big)
- normal t-shirts dont fit anymore, shoulders too small-lenght too long
- ppl u didnt see a long time act totally weird and trying hard to keep eye contact - show show they do not try to examine you
- ppl hardly speaking about your "new" condition directly, only hearing about it when some close friends tell me what they said (lmao)
- got more attention from sloots when i was 155 lbs and compliments(dead srs)
- ppl assuming you are going for ronnie coleman standarts and being a drugged up roidhead.

Yes this all happens from 130-167lbs (srs)

[vTarik]

gay guys will want your D, and they will try very hard for it.. SRS.. u will attract more phuckn gay guys then girls.

[Demguy]

but who was mike jones?

who?

[TheFlexatorium]

Yes, but not because of muscularity, but because of increase in self confidence. People treat u better when you come across as confident in what ur doing and what ur saying.

[jazi]

I don't get much in the way of negative vibes for having a bit of muscle, at work they all know I workout and my nick name is Mr Bigarms, it's a bit of a laugh!
I think you only really get negative stuff if your boastful or take yourself too seriously.

[NinjaThat]

i agree

[RustlerB]

I feel sorry for you guys who are absolutely shredded or have spent hours in the gym.

I'll tell you why. I have the utmost respect for you - working on your bodies, aiming to improve. For people to treat you in these ways is absolutely sickening to me. It's one of the reasons I could never do it, I'm sarcastic 99% of the time, thats my whole persona. If I had the same body type as some of you, I just couldn't do it because of how people would then treat me.

Does this deserve a no homo tag? Probably. Flown out some reps in here.

WTF to you guys who claim to get negative reactions. You are either imagining it or must be a prick. Being fit is a great thing, people respect it, sloots love it, guys might be jelly but they really respect it.

If you feel that your muscles are not benefiting you in making a great first impression, you might be seriously doing something wrong(being an arrogant prick?) Be honest and try to change.

edit: in after Clive and his sexy biceps

[swoleyo]

Only difference I noticed is I get hit on by gay guys a lot more. Girls act more shy and are a pain in the ass now.

[dlagr21]

Not as muscular as I want to be yet, but definitely have come a long way from how scrawny I was in highschool (6 years ago).

I see girls from highschool at parties, and they come up and touch me and say "where was this in highschool?" and continue to flirt all night.

Bish's want the D now.

[Toguro]

Holy **** dude stfu.

someone sounds mad lol. it's not all about size





yep it's pretty hard to tell if I lift (;

lol that sucks, you sure it is not just you? What, gay guys assume you are gay because you are fit, that is so 1990s
