    people giving me sh!t for getting Big

    it seems like the whole world is agaisnt me for my love of bodybuilding

    it is very rare i hear anything positive from anyone
    it is rare that i receive a compliment apart from those from other bodybuilders


    every time i go out people challenge me as to why i want to look this way

    i am FED UP with defending myself everyday

    my mates are constantly giving me sh!t - saying:

    ive taken it too far
    i'm too big
    i am starting too look grotesque
    its an obsession
    its unhealthy (comming from people who eat junk and take drugs)

    i get no end of shit from them about steroids, something
    they know nothing about, and even after explaining to then they fail or dont want
    to understand

    i dont give them a hard time about drinking, sniffing, eating sh!t, being fat etc
    so why are they so concerned with what i do

    this has been going on for a couple of years but has been getting worse this last month
    as i am i am doin another cycle

    i am single, and have been dating a few girls and every time (on the 1sr date)
    they challenge me as to why i want to look this way

    am i over compensating for something? they ask
    a girl last night said - yeah u look ok , but if u were any bigger i wouldve run a mile
    (funnily enough she couldnt wait to get my shirt off at the end of the night)

    my parents hate it
    how long are u going to keep this up for?
    how much bigger do u want to get (i hate that question) cos when i say i just wana get BIGGER
    there reaction is always WHy?

    F*CK u - have u got nothing better to do than critisicise me
    go back to your beer and cheese burgers u negative jealous haters

    just had to vent
    i dont understand why people have to be like this
    u try and do something positive with your body and people make assumptions and put u down

    why this why that

    i mean i am glad to answer these questions if they are genuinely interested
    but they say it in such a negative manner it is as if i am on the defense all the time

    i dont see why i should have to explain myself to these people

    and what gets me is when they start TELLING you that its
    unhealthy - i knew someone once who over did it and collapsed blah blah

    they start telling u that your way of life is wrong and unhealthy because of something
    one of their mates told them once

    oh well he is obvioulsy right - and all my years of experience obviously count for nothing

    G-force bro just take one look at your avatar bro you are a ****ing ripped, it takes alot of hard work and dedication to look that good.
    all the people who tell you such things as you have listed are simply jealous of the fact that you can actually put some effort into something and the main thing is they are jealous cause they know they will never have the guts and determination to get themselves into even half the shape that you are in cause they are a bunch of lazy ****s who would rather give into temptations like drugs and shit than put some real effort into something.
    as for the parents they will allways say "WHY", there is nothing you can do about them bro, you wont change there minds on anything.
    anyway bro dont worry about what anyone else thinks who the **** are they to critisize you!

    Don't listen to the bullshit - try and meet girls in the gym or attend more events with fitness-minded people in hopes of making new (rec drug-free) friends. If you really want a progressable future - you'll need some people that encourage you and interested in the same goals... listen closely:

    They're jealous... they look at you and realize how lazy they are - you make them feel bad about themselves so they try and knock you off your pedistal.

    You have learned dedication, motivation, discipline, community - working your tail off for a goal... these are attributes that define you as a quality man.

    thanks man

    yeah exactly
    who are they to criticise?

    my theory is that they ASSUME i am arrogant and that i get compliments
    all the time so they feel the need to put me in my place, take me down a notch etc

    i find that girls find it very difficult to give me a compliment for this reason(unless i know them)

    i actually had a girlfriend who never said she was attracted to me
    i eventually asked her why, and she said that she does find me attractive she just didnt want it going to my head

    I second this bro. You look awesome and that takes a lot more than any of these people who criticise you can do. Remember for every person criticing you openly there's probably 2 people secretly wishing they were you.....

    Keep it up

    its probably alittle different here because of the cold wet weather we get so I'm always wrapped up against it.

    People ask "what weight are you" I said "18st 10lbs" (about 260+lbs) and I'm told "jesus, you don't look that fat. Your tall so you hold it well" lol... Now would you like to swap for a week and have people think your fat!.


    Booz, do you get the same in England?.. (My guess is you probably do.)

    can they all be jealous though?
    i think this may be the case half of the time

    but i think there are some people who genuinely do find
    big muscles un-attractice

    which is fair enough but why inflict that view on me?

    i dont find your jelly stomach attractive but i'm not gonna tell u that

    totally agree with all that has been said. I get people making comments, especially my parents, about wanting to be bigger and it drives me mad. ok im dieting at the minute, but so, when that ends in summer il balloon up again.

    it is just pure jealousy man. people cant hack the fact that we have a dedication and they dont. they feel that they dont need to go to the gym, but in actual fact they just know that they would not have it in them to work as hard as we do in the gym and have the willpower to follow such a strict diet.

    at the end of the day, ignore them. if someone says you look grotesque or bad, wither ignore them or come out with something that you know will offend them (if they arent close friends or anything!)

    If your happy with yourself it doesnt matter what small minded people think, its what you feel inside, do what ever makes you HAPPY life is to short to worry about what people think of you...

    i totally agree with all of this.....i think all of us that want to be big have had this problem at some time or another and the only thing to do is push through it and find the people that can appreciate what you're doing, those are you're real potential friends. And if someone tells me i'm big enough, which used to happen all the time in high school anytime i'd talk to a girl, i had the same problems i was like what could they possibly be thinking. I later came to the realization that girls on the whole don't like muscles for some reason.....has to do with this pansy society we've created. The need for protection and security is no longer there to a large extent and so we look less attractive even though we are pinnacle of the human male body. it sucks, i've about given up in that department, good thing there are a couple bodybuilders here at school or i'd be a complete hermit.......good luck man, just push through it, and it prolly is 100% jealousy from any guy who gives you shit.

    Jealousy is an ugly thing. You and I know that if any of your friends had a chance to switch thier body for yours they would do it in a heart beat.

    EXACTLY! I came to this very conclusion my first day in college and have lived by it ever since. If they like me, fine, but if they don't, no worries, I just move on
    .
    So far it's worked out pretty good!!

    Now I get comments like, "wow, you seem really grounded" or "you seem to get it". If "getting it" is not giving a fvck what others think of me, then I guess I"m grounded.

    Agreed G-force, put up with it Everyday. Makes me laugh, don't let it get to you. Even better bring one of these lazy MF'ers to the gym with you one day and work them until they puke, they'll never talk shit again.

    Same BS here. Everyone but my BB buddies say the exact same crap.

    The best lines are:

    Women don't find big guys attractive; they don't like all those veins popping out everywhere.
    Big Guys are out of style (Like I'm doing all this to get women! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    the only place i feel comfortable is at the gym, i get the same crap

    it also gets to me because i currently grew out of my old wardrobe and when i wear an old shirt people make comments about me wearing tight clothes trying to show off, where they never made comments wearing the exact same clothes a year ago...they dont understand that i've just grown out of them

    i'm happy of what ive accomplished and i dont see myself anywhere near done, look out for number 1, all those nay sayers can go to hell

    I have to jump in here and reaffirm something. Don't forget to work your minds as well and even more so than your bodies. An intelligent, confident, self assured man or woman comes across differently and is given respect on a different level than one who just works the body with no forethought or direction in life.
    Maybe I see things a bit differently than many of you because of my age. But use the my opinion as a glance into the future. I must say that no one criticize me, at least to my face, for my BB efforts and commitment because I take care a business as my first priority in life. I guess what I am trying to say is that I have earned the respect of peers because of my actions and by keeping BB in prospective to the "BIG Picture". That's not say that I am not fanatic about diet, workingout, etc.., but approach your life with the same passion, and it becomes difficult for those who choose to criticize.

    Hey man same problem this way, it really gets me down when i here it, like makes me want to cut out going to the gym, but all it is is them being jealous, i really believe that, because older people are going downhill and they know they will never be able to look like that now, and people our age just dont have what it takes, and as for girls, they just like a little convo, if they thought you looked gross, they wouldnt be talking to you.

    They're jealous.
    tell them you think they are obsessed with breathing, and that they should stop. Or maybe you think they're gay because they keep staring at your body.

    G-Force, i know it's hard but you really need to ignore them. You look simply amazing and you should feel very proud. Guys who give you shvt are jealous and the girls simply don't understand. It's weird because i thought lots of girls would love your body, especially round here. Wanna do a swap?
