    Anyone Not Like The Extra Attention From Being In Good Shape?

    I love the attention, but only in small doses, and from girls. I hate so much people staring at me, it's the most annoying feeling in the world. I goto class after an arm workout and my shirt fits snug and I have veins popping out and seeing a group of people stare at me is so annoying...maybe it's just because I wonder what theyre thinking? but yea I don't know, something I just figured out about myself. I do however, like when I'm with a girl and she thinks I'm just a scrawny guy but I take my shirt off and shes amazed...that im 100% fine with

    the attention is good... sometimes I could live w/o common questions like "how much do ya bench?" or "where do you workout?"

    A lot of chicks love any guy as long as they have abs. A lot of chicks are also retarded however.

    not trying to hate on you, but you sound like a chick who gets a boob job, wears revealing clothes, then complains that men just stare at her tits.

    that is very true, girls love guys who have abs, but also dont realize just because a kid weighs 120 pounds who is 5'11 and is "ripped" dosnt mean he works out, he just is anorexic

    yeah thats what i was thinking. i dont mind at all, people can stare all they want. i quite enjoy it, makes me know the hard work and all the diet is paying off. if i didnt want people looking at me then i would cover myself up. as it happens, if i have an excuse to show off my body, i will. if someone has a real nice car, they shouldnt be afraid to show it off in public, same with bodies

    I don't always like it. People can be rude. Of course, the other thing is you're bound to get some attention from gays and that's pretty annoying if you're hetero.

    Putting the "shoe on the other foot," when I see a woman who I'm really attracted to I don't sit and gawk so when that happens to me I'm thinking that's pretty rude. I think these days people feel entitled to be vouyeristic and to disrespect personal boundaries because that a big part of prime time television and people, on the average, are watching too much tv.

    SVT you're nothing but a hater kid. I'm 5"6 and I may not weigh a lot but since I'm short it looks bulkier. I don't see any pics of you in your avatar besides your distorted face. Maybe you're just not up to par with me man? And no I'm not overreacting, every one of my recent posts there you are hating. Step to the plate and show something besides the fact that you can type...maybe if you say sorry I'll show you my ab routine

    when i was in highschool i was often 'teased' and given the nick name chest because my chest is my most dominantly massive muscle....four years later i still do things differently because of all the sh!t i took when i was younger
    i never take my shirt off in front of people, i dont wear tight shirts, i dont wear tank tops, and i never ever flex for anyone but myself in the mirror
    i hate attention i get for looking the way i do, but im also only ~200 lbs....some day when i reach the 240 mark im pretty sure that everything will change.

    What the hell kind of response is this?

    I expected better of you, one who wishes to counsel and work w/others.

    That's pretty damn sad for real.

    Ironically the bigger I get the more self conscious I become. when I was 150lbs I had no problem wearing a beater in the gym. Now I work out in a sweat shirt and wear baggy t-shirts otherwise. that's just the way I feel most comfortable. I am only 200lbs as well though. Maybe 240lbs will be different

    thats how i am bro...i think i would be a hell of a lot less self conscieous (sp?) if i was 200 lbs with 30% body fat rather than 10%, but that doesnt stop me from growing, and im glad im on the 10% end rather than 30%

    He didn't say being huge, he said being in shape. As the other guy said, as long as you have abs 95% of girls WILL be attracted to you at the beach.

    Maybe he himself is lacking attention and this is the way in which that frustration has manifested itself?

    I agree, waaaaaaaaaay out of what I thought was character for him.

    i think that 'our' kind can be summed up into two categories:
    1. guys that lift to get poon
    2. and guys that lift for themselves

    i personally am the latter of the two, which is why i dont like being looked at and getting attention. Dont get me wrong, im not saying that everyone that likes attention for their lifestyle ONLY does it for the attention, but i think that the guys that lift to get girls are much likelier to enjoy this.

    I am not that big and never been ripped so cant say I get much attention.
    I do like the attention I get though.

    Its quite fun to show people wrong when they think Im just a comon stupid meathead.

    Ok maybe I came out way wrong on that first post, I didnt mean to come down on you and make it sound as if I'm increddibly huge or anything like that or that your a small guy.
    The way i took that first read of the post was as if you feel your so jacked you get all this attention and popularity from your physique.
    My bad for comming onto you like that I didnt mean to criticize if that wasnt your intention on the first post
