Strange question for the big guys?

bbin · 10-12-2007, 09:45 PM

OK. I am a muscular guy. So much so, that I usually get comments from strangers about it. Business acquaintances are usually surprised too if they see me with a polo or T-shirt since I guess my muscles are less noticeable in business attire.

Usually they end up saying something like. Gee, do you workout? or they will comment on how large my arms are. For some reason, I always feel uncomfortable when someone brings it up and I usually end up responding in a lame way.

Here is my question: What is the cool response when someone asks me if I workout or if someone compliments me on my muscles.

I am sure I am not the only one. give me some cool responses for the next time someone asks me the dumb question or compliments me.

Specifically, what answer would you give to...

- a business colleague
- an old friend
- a stranger (male and female)

Thanks for the help!

Tell them you're shorter than your mother.

dont give them the direct answer, hint and make them think for themselves, myfavorite format of response.

Not sure if it's intentional or not, but your avatar looks like it belongs on a gay porn site.

don't know what a cool response would be but what comes to mind when it happens is ..."yeah i try" , a compliment i follow up with a "thank you"...pretty simple.

I've gotten this a bit.

I'll just say...I always eat the green veggies...works everytime

Are you aware that life sucks? period. i dont know about some of yall but my life sucks and just wanna break something
i just wanna leave this world and get back to peace with myself, my friends and family and altogether life.

i hate it how you hang with your friends all day but then out of the blue just ditch you without sayin a thing.
i hate how your really good friens with some girls and they give you hugs every time you see them, then all of a sudden they think your a piece of sh?t. then how your talking with somebody then somebody else comes and they ignore you for the rest of the night. i hate how your best friends wont invite you to a party but they will invite a dude they barely even know. sick of people that know you workout say how small you are and they tell you that they can see results when they cant see sh?t. im sick and tired of parents arguing all the time about how the father should get a d@mn job while the mom works 90hrs a week. i hate how everything goes the opposite of the right way life should be.

life should be great. life should make you happy all the time. life should put you in the highest state in your mind. life is something that alot of people dont understand, they dont think how life shouldnt be just partying and having fun. sometimes you got to understand that theres somethin more than that, you got to work at everything to get the things in life that are necessary. life should be everything to you and some people dont even notice that they are alive and should be livin life to the fullest.

so from this day on, i will live my life to the fullest. i will hang out with my friends but at the same time not lose control of my life. i will change my ways. i will try my best at everything: school, golf, friends, and life. and not one thing will put me down and not one thing will ever get in my way of my goals and my life.

if you read this whole rant, then thank you. you will be repped. i just needed to get some of this off my chest.

That's another thing I like to do.

They ask "You work out"?

"Nope. Never"

bbin · 10-12-2007, 10:06 PM

You guys crack me up. I am definitely going to use some of these.

Keep em coming!

Supadude · 10-12-2007, 10:08 PM

muscleman420 · 10-12-2007, 10:18 PM

yeah i make sure and say " thanks" i got a lto of comments the day i wore a toga to school. I just said thanks, or yes i do work out.

when they ask if i play sports i say yeah ping pong. other things I've said:

"I eat a lot of asparagus"
(to when they ask aobut water/ eating habits) "keeps me healthy" (in a funny way) or "i want to grow up to be big and strong"
"nah I just take cell tech"
"nah I just kick it!"

dumbaspoo23 · 10-12-2007, 10:25 PM

typical response for compliment = thanks
