    Had a nice confidence booster the other day

    You guys will like this:

    First, I’m 6’ and my weight right now ranges from 197-203 with BF dancing 12%-14%.

    I never consider myself “big” because there are a lot of people MUCH larger than me, and bigger than I would want to be. I’m pretty happy being where I am, and just want like 210-215 with a little lower BF.

    So this guy was talking to my girls friend, he really likes my girl so always tries to talk me down I guess. He made a comment, “he’s not really that big you know” to my girls friend. I guess it backfired because I would never expect anyone to even say that about me. I guess I just assumed people looked at me as looking pretty much like a normal sized guy.

    Gave me and nice boost of confidence and I’ve been at the gym the last 3 days by 7 am!

    It's a double negative. The guy is being negative saying he's not big so he must be big.

    I think it would be a better compliment if the guy was saying "That guy is HUGE"

    i get it... the guy was trying to put him down... and instead of saying he was ugly, or dumb, or whatever... he picked size... so obviously he must have some good size if the guy wants to say "he's not that big" you know, trying to sound like the Alpha-male...

    dude am i the only one who gets this story?? People obviously, when hes not there, talk about or compliment or make mention of, how "big" he is, so this guy is taking on that understood premise about him and trying to downplay it in an effort to make him seem "less" because he wants his girl...

    lol, come on, only 2 people see's why I would take it as a compliment?

    It might be hard for some of you to see it, because you are probably twice my size.

    But I honestly don't consider myself "Big". I never flex and think "i'm one buff mofo!".

    So when someone's critisizing me and saying "He's not that big" him even noticing enough to say "I'm not that big" is a compliment.

    Trying to think of a better way to say it but i'm not good with words

    IF he had decent size then 2 things would happen:

    1. He would have stepped up and confronted the guy
    2. The fuker wouldn't be talking to his girl any more.

    Maybe the guy thinks he is a toughguy at 160lbs. and thinks he is big, therefore, he says that the other guy "ain't that big" when he himself is just a DB with Napoleon complex!!!

    Shit i'm use to being picked on! Bring it

    Growing up I was poor as ****, small and skinny, did not play any sports, got bad grades and had more zits than any other 2 kids in school, with a mother who did not really care about her kids appearance or self esteem. After going though all that, and becoming who I am today it takes a lot to get to me :P

    Thanks for the tough love though!
