Did you do it for the girls?

[Mike Dura]

What's the motive here? Do you bodybuild for the puss? I'd have to admit that it was part of the reason for me. I liked the attention. I certainly didn't do it to impress the men although the gay dudes seem to like it. Then there were the tough guys. In one case i was targeted by a yungster who wanted to fight me! I backed down does that make me a pvssy?

That's the funny thing, by standing out you make yourself a target. You have to compensate perhaps overcompensate by being extra nice out of the gym or in an interpersonal encounter. For some, it clearly causes resentment and you have to be resourceful in dealing with this and never take anything personal. You get first hand experience of what it is like to be stereotyped and this is amusing if you look at it in a detached way. It reminds me of that sociology experiment talked about in "black like me" where the white erudite paints himself black and moves down south.

Digression aside, does a married man tend to take advantage of opportunities with beautiful women? Most do. Research shows this. I did. I'm not bragging. I have a great wife. She's beautiful and she's my best friend. Do I regret it? No. You only live once. My wife didn't know. I'm discrete. I do feel some guilt so it's not conflict free.

Why did I do it? I did it because I thought this particular women was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I knew it would happen the moment I laid eyes on her. She was Ecuadorian, petite, shallow, and I knew she would be interested in me months in advance. I waited for her signal and paid alot of attention to everyone around her with playful snubs and mixed signals toward her. If I gave her any attention at all it would be by busting her balls in a playful way and always with a smile. I had to knock her down a peg. She tested me too - oh did she test me. Nothing she threw at me could throw me off center because I've seen the patterns before. It's all a variation on a theme. I thought of all the contingensies in advance and I'm well practiced in this game. I've been playing it all my life. The game and the dance is all a part of the foreplay and only the hot ones will test you in a challenging way and if she gets you to think and you should stumble or halt, than it just improves your game in the long run.

You should never judge the philanderer. They are only men.

[danielmaco]

Discrete? You've shown your face in your other thread. Aren't you scared that your wife might find out?

[Mike Dura]

nope! She doesn't frequent steroid forums.

[baseline_9]

nope! She doesn't frequent steroid forums.

Hahaha

[danielmaco]

She might find if she checks the internet history.

Congrats on perpetuating the stereotype.

[Hazard]

I bodybuild for myself..... however..... the percs that come along with it are nice. On the other side of the coin tho..... i've had run-ins in the past and i've defiantely been stereo typed. Some people have felt that I looked un-approachable..... mean..... LMAO!

~Haz~

[HitIt]

i always wanted to look like the heros in my comic books....

[Knockout_Power]

I just did it as a challenge. Something new to try when I didnt want to fight anymore. Its nice to be on the beach and see girls point you out to their friends and then their whole group turns around to look at you, but like Haz stated, when you get a lot of attention, it actually lessons the chance that a woman will make a move on you. When Im at my leanest (mid summer, beach season) I get a lot of looks but little to no attempts by girls to do more than flirt with me. But when Im a little less cut (possibly wearing more clothes) women will come up and start touching arms, shoulders, chest etc and make passes.

Could care less really, its just strokin the ego anyways.

[Knockout_Power]

me too... Fat Albert... Im almost there

[HitIt]

Hey Hey Heyyyyyy!

[HitIt]

obviously in my quest to look like the hulk i've only made it to the bruce banner part of said super hero

[Mike Dura]

lol. no doubt

[Mike Dura]

Yeah me too. The challenge is a turn on. I like the isolation of training alone - the self-absorption. When u finally see youself coming into condition, it's pretty cool. As far as seduction goes, it's an advantage but you have to do more then just look good. I'm in sales and much of what I do is pretty thought out in advance - pretty canned and routine. It a well rehearsed performance where your attention is less on what you're saying and more on how you're saying it and how you use your body. I've put alot of time into developing it. U have to know your target well

this... but i find that a lot of chicks find me intimidating.. i suppose i understand considering that is me in my avi.. so the whole 6ft 260 with a mohawk and handlebar ustache kinda is scary.. maybe i will shave and grow my hair out and see how that goes.. Although the Eastern European girls love big intimidating looking men.. so maybei will just move to Prague

u just need to find chicks who like bad boys looks......or girls who wants to prove themselves.....

Bold> Im starting to get some good cut and size so i know what you mean...... as far as walking away from a fight never any thing to feel bad about , when i was younger i would never have walked away and thats why they call it young and dumb, i have nothing to prove any more unless some one makes the mistake of fvcking with my family i let it go, jail , fines = hassel IMHO

[Mike Dura]

yeah. I don't care for fighting. I don't feel intimidated for the most part. I just think practically. It seems childish doesn't it? Who cares who's a better fighter. I just wanna make love and be civil. No big woop

[desizon]

It's all about the girl, OP.

[lovbyts]

I do it for my self for several reasons. As a kid/teen I always wanted to get big. I worked hard, trained hard but never got there even into my mid 20s. Dies sucked, not nearly enough protein to gain any size. Through my mid 20s, 30s I never kept up with it like I should have due to injuries, illnesses.
Mid 40s I got to the point due to injuries it was now or never. I had to choose between being an injured or crippled middle aged man or get in shape and be the best I could to reverse as much of the damage I could. I also got a little motivation from hooking up with a 24 yr old hard body and the reflection in the mirror just looked to odd so I had to equal things out.

The perks are also VERY nice as far as the ladies are concerned.

I'm a scientist and am doing it for a social experiment. my paper will be published in 2012. it's base on body weight and bf % to panty dropping times

U r little late as always...my paper already published 2 yrs ago now I am researching fatties and how often "they" want to drop panties..

[gixxerboy1]

do fatties even wear panties?

[calgarian]

do fatties even wear panties?

i have seen things that are remotely similar to panties so the answer is YES

[Times Roman]

I was doing pretty good this last time until all the friggin injuries!!! Now I'm back down to 220.

I workout just to feel good about myself. Never really been a beast.

[SomeRandomGuy]

I workout mainly to push the limits of what my body is capable of strengthwise. I don't know, I find it amazing. Another thing I know is that size and strength don't necessarily make you a good fighter. I'm way stronger and bigger than a lot of little guys who would knock me out cold. I haven't trained myself to fight like I've trained to lift, so what can you expect? Besides, fighting is stupid. Someone always has a gun in their car. Knew a guy who carried a piece in a fanny pack inside the gym...

[boz]

Well where do i start, have always been a ectomorph. I can't say ive got anywhere near as much training under my belt like some here, but once i train i can see my results quickly since i do have the athletic build to.

TBH i do it to stimulate myself, as i am a person that gets bored very easily, and since old bad habits lurk on me sometimes in my head, it really keeps me on top and in control.

With this comes the pleasures, of attention,confidence girls etc, yeah i love it don't get me wrong. When it all seems to be good, there has to be bad and yeah i do seem like i am targeted, for instance the walk past of some tough looking guy making eye contact and seeing who is going to back off at looking first, all ego. I am still young yes, but it will come with age.

At the end of the day i enjoy what i do, and i do it all for myself. I always reflect at a quote from my gym "What a waist it is, to leave the life u lived not knowing what your body was capable of doing"

[40plusnewbie]

I got into it for health reasons. I was over 40 and very close to 300lbs and my cholesterol was 278. I wasn't fat like that through most of my adult life but in my late 30's packed on a huge ammt of fat. I realized if i didn't change I would die (my father had heart attacks before age 50 and he wasn't overweight or a smoker) so I dropped a bunch of weight down to 217 where i looked too lanky due to lack of musculature and was lifting weights when I reached the lower half of 200lbs. Injuries put me out of commission for a year (not exercise related) but I got my cholesterol down to 136 without any drugs. Now I enjoy going to the gym and pushing myself and have a body image in mind i want to get to. I have a good base to work with so if I can keep at it I will get there by my late 40's.

[Mike Dura]

no doubt u all do it for more than one reason but girls is one. Just admit it!

[boundup]

I initially did it do the to fact that I felt unhealthy, weak and fragile. When I started I put on size like crazy at the ripe age of 21 and after two years of training I was toping the scales at 180; up from 135. I felt awesome. However, it was a double edged sword. I wasn't able to mentally handle the change in social situations since I went from one crowd to the other seemingly overnight. I tend to keep to myself and spend my time doing my own thing. Then, I go out to a bar and a couple of parties, and I am being approached, felt up and chicks wanting to **** me like crazy and take my shirt off; I really didn't know how to react to it. I found it quite interesting that despite my body being capable of something, my mind could not adapt to the change in stimulation. I was constantly ridiculed and teased about my small frame and weak reactions to things, so this certainly makes sense. Ironically, I was in more fights as a result than when I got bigger. People tended to listen to me more and just leave me alone.

Fast forward 5 years, and it's the same thing. After getting back into shape again, the looks and flirts are nice, but I still can't handle it. It's strange since I am great in professional social situations and really successful in my professional life, but I just cannot seem to handle the attention. I work in a field that is predominately women, young, confident and aggressive women mind you, and I find it tough to cope to be honest. Are they taking the direction and doing things for me because they are attracted to me or because I am the boss? Why are they always patting my shoulders and back? Stop touching me please. "Why is your shirt so soft?" Cause, I ****ing wash it with the Downy ball?! I dunno the answer to these things.

Relationships are challenging and dating has been tough. I refuse to compromise my lifestyle to meet someone else's and "let loose", so that has created challenges. Clothes shopping is a bitch, I hate being hot all the time and peeing every five seconds. Trying to find jeans that fit properly with bigger legs and a smaller waist. I miss the range of motion to scratch those weird places on my back. I hate having boners all day long and jerking off three times a day. But, it's that one moment in time that makes it all worth it. For me, it's knowing that I am able to do something that makes me a minority across the entire world.

[boz]

no doubt u all do it for more than one reason but girls is one. Just admit it!

Isn't it obvious lol?

[Shol'va]

I do it for low self esteem issues mainly. In high school I was always skinny and tried out for the football team and they always wanted to use me as the football. Stuff like that kind of sticks with you over the years, but now I'm sure I'm in way better shape than those HS jocks from back then.

[Mike Dura]

Hell yeah stuff like that sticks with you. Being singled out in any negative way whether by peers or family leaves you feeling haunted and no matter how much you compensate for it the wound remains. At least that's my experience. My self esteem was never great but i know how to act confident. Most of what I do amounts to performance art and acting confident and decisive is key to persuading others to do what I want. You hide the inner conflicts lest they work against you. Building realities for others is slight of hand.

[Mike Dura]

nice Boundup! My training for now on is about health too. I'm fat, my cholestral is high and my blood pressure is a bit high. I wish u good health and i need to follow your lead

[GetSwole83]

To the OP....I totally get the "do it for the girls" part....but in the end you gotta do it for yourself. I know for me anyway I am engaged at the moment to a wonderful woman who I intend to never cheat on. I mean...shit if I wanted to fool around all the time I would NOT get married....
