    They treat me like their best bud because they think I can get them juice. The funny thing is, they never take my advice in the gym! Pussies hahahaha

    Everybody says hi, even dudes, I guess because I catch them looking. Understand i'm in NYC, no one says hi to you here. Kids often come up to me and say "I wanna be as strong as you are" lol, I tell them to start doing push up and eat your spinach.

    one kid ask my girlfriend after church one day if i was a wrestler...

    Generally people are nicer to me now i think, but i am and have always been very humble with my "size" i never have or will think i am huge, and when people tell me i am i get kinda weird and do usually just say i am average, or thanks and kinda laugh it off....the only thing i dont like is when dudes stare at me, if your staring and say hey, fine...but at least say hi or something....chicks can just stare,thats KEWL....

    you tend to get more respect(fear?)if youve packed some size on and get more attention from the girls but the odd thing is,guys look at you alot more or as much as the women,which leads me to believe they are jealous,gay or complementing you in some manner.either way feels good(not the man part) until some prick wants to test u.

    yes definately people treat you different when you are larger than average. i always catch people looking, and to be completely honest i love it, as i know im getting somewhere, and am at a point where i turn heads. people are much nicer to me in general. in our area bodybuilding is quite common, but hasnt been for long, so there are only a handful of people who really stand out as theyve been training for years, myself included. i go out in a town about 30 mins up the road with a group of friends, they are all huge and we get in the clubs free lol.

    I kinda hate it tho.. They act like your something special because theior scared, then when your back is turned they start running their mouths about many needles are sticking out of your ass...

    I seriously dont like all the strangers coming up to talk to me, and it drives me crazy when they touch me, pat me on the shoulder, etc... If I dont know you, and your not a hot female, DONT TOUCH ME.

    I love kids tho. Always makes me smile when some kid looks up and tells me im huge or gets that wide-eyed amazed look.

    My little cousin has a 20'x20'x5' pool, she told her dad(my uncle and best friend, 2 years older than me) she needed a bigger one so I could go swimming with her

    It xcan ba a problem for me sometimes because guys do often stare more than girls and I really hate it when guys make eyecontact and don't say anything. I try not to be a jerk or come across as a "tough guy" but when guys do that it bothers me.

    The bigger I get, the nicer and bolder people are. As in people touching me "accidentally." Or someone saying hello placing a hand on my shoulder then they squeeze my shoulder trap arm and back. They feel stupid when I give them the get the hell away from look.

    Also the bigger I get, the nastier gay men get. I don't know if it's jealousy or they think I feel I'm better than them. They're just bitchy as hell.

    Most people are lame and jalouse, sorry that add to come out, they need someone to look up to, since i add to stop training i went from 220 to 180 pounds i did diet but people are always ready to put it in your face.

    For me the bigger i am for sure people respect me and has soon has i diet down or stop training cause of injury they are very quick with replyes to shove it in my face.

    Try being gay and having men stare at you. I have guys look at me all of the time and I think they are gay. Then they walk over and ask me if I compete or ask for training advice and introduce me to their girl friend. I think "go away and stop staring at gay men! You're wasting my time!"

    At my work place you do get treated differently. When you have only 1 other guy in the entire company that is a bodybuilder you are known as "the big guys" and you get the same stupid lame jokes repeated on a daily basis. You aslo get the occasinal really bold person that you don't even know that well and will just ask you, do you do steroids? lolol

    Speaking of work. I have people at work ask me to help them pick up things all of the time. I had a woman stop me in the hallway and ask me to move a box of paper next to the copy machine. I told her "No, that looks heavy" and kept walking. She wants boxes moved she should call a janitor. That's their job.

    Im a sucker for a hot chick in need

    But, im also a straight male..

    I imagine having women hit on you doesnt feel much different to you than having men constantly hit on me would make me feel.

    It must be a complicated world for you sometimes carlos

    lolololol...nice... I hear what you're saying...anytime there is anything to move in the office someone comes and asks me. Last year I helped move some tables from one break room to the other which is a very long distance. These freaking talbes honestly must have weighed 200lbs. It was so awkward I actually ended up pulling my right pec. It's so freaking political where I work I always suck it up and help move shit even though it's not even close to my responsibility. I work at a desk all day. They do a good job at making the big guy be a bitch! lolololololol....

    They were installing new server racks at work and had to move the old ones out of the way. I was walking down the hall and I hear a guy yell "hey, you look strong can we get some help." 3 of them were trying to maneuver a rack onto a cart. I said sure. I ran over and moved the cart closer to them then walked out.

    I don't anything that could potentially injure me and stop me from training. If it looks heavy. I'm not touching it.

    LOL! Can you imagine their confusion and resentment after expecting you to help just because you're big?

    Bigger I get the nicer ppl are. Some ppl suck up kind of. Granted, Im not nearly as big as most of you guys. At work Im a cashier and people will be like "Oh good...A big strong boy..he can pick up this 100 pound tree for us!" I just sit back and wait for them to pick it up...and say I dont lift things. Ppl will try to get me to load stuff and I'll be like thats not my job, thats what the loaders are for. Then they give me this weird look when I say I can't lift it

    dude, she is more than likely lying, i asked a skinheaded girl out the other week, she said the same thing to me!

    yeah its cool to have a female perspective on things that we usually dont get the opportunity to discuss with them, such as protein farts lol

    Definately. Only the people that really matter in my life, have never changed or treated me differently by the way that I look.
