Is anyone more resented than muscular guys?

I hope to get big enough where I could be hated on one day

All that muscle is really inefficient and pointless. Girls like sleek swimmers builds. Thats why I only do high-rep bodyweight movements and cardio. Have you fellas tried that new Keto diet?

The activities and reasons for someone working out is the determining factor as to how efficient having a lot of muscle is or isn't.
If your goal is to get swole and look like a bodybuilder then to achieve that goal one must have a lot of muscle. That's the only way you'll look like a body builder.
Therefore, for you to have a lot of muscle is extremely efficient. Same if you wanted to work as a professional bouncer/body guard. Looking intimidating is a big part of that line of work. Having a ton of muscle helps a lot with that.
I find it to be very efficient for world's strongest man competitors, also. All that muscle and bulk equates to just enough strength and stamina that they need to participate in that sort of sport.
And I'm sure there are many more examples.

In my case, personally, having a lot of muscle would be inefficient. Mainly due to my physical activities.
Being a muscle bound guy would inhibit me in more than a few different ways, and also rob me of much needed stamina.

But even more importantly- I'm naturally a skinny dude, and being bulked up like a sack of boulders would throw off my body's natural aura/center of balance, not to mention the added stress on my ligaments. I'd also develop that "upside-down bowling pin" look.
You know what I'm talking about. Them dudes who look like they skip leg day, everyday.

Right now I am 5'11 170, cut like an African Gawd. My arms are muscular, yes, but they're long. So instead of being bulky, they're simply muscular and defined.
My legs are skinny but they too are muscular, and as a result combine with my upper body to provide a well evenly spread out landscape of muscular masterpiece.

I hesitate to say that I have the "swimmer's build" that you referenced, due to my height(swimmers are usually 6ft+), but if you could imagine a tall muscular "swimmer's build" in a 5'11" body then, well, that's me.

It's very obvious that I work out, but I am not "swole" by any means.
I also find that most women say that they are turned off by the whole "swole body builder so swole I have to turn sideways to get through the door", look.

Well, let me rephrase that.
Most women 30 and up don't really mind it, to be honest. But the younger sisters -30 and under- tend to prefer the more sleek, strong, wiry look. Just a side note.

I noticed this the other day when I went to the beach. I'm by no means a finished product but I have nice arms, shoulders and traps. On top of that if you have a fresh cut and any type of mouth piece you can pull broads effortlessly all day

 

[NSSVO]

And I wouldn't have it any other way


That look of frustration and inadequacy on haters faces when walking into the club with the arms bulging

That look of sexual lust on chicks faces when they see a pair of broad shoulders and a V shaped back

Let those skinny fat lames continue to hate

I NEED IT!

when your family turns against u for working out weekly and eating better, like u disrespecting them for not wanting to eat fried food or hit up buffets anymore

when u walk in a kickback and the women look at u like

when u randomly walk around and folks ask u do u box, no i dont but maybe i should get these hands trained

when dudes (usually flabby n sick) say "yeah u got muscles but u still aint getting no hoes"

when shorty like "your arms are so much bigger than mine"

I love having muscles. And fukk any bytch that doesn't like it. It is my belief that all men should be strong and be able to lift and protect. A woman that wants a weak man is weak herself.

Nothing turns me on more than when I see a female busting her ass in the weight room. And I could imagine it's the same for a woman when they see a ripped guy.

It depends how somebody carries it...when someone is comically big it looks stupid and your going to get the meathead guy who juices judgements and spends an inefficient amount of time working out to compensate for something missing in their lives...especially if you work at T-Mobile(Kevin Hart joke) and your not an actual bodybuilder in competitions or a fitness model

either way

this build is much more preferred by females and you don't look comical in clothing

as opposed to this build ...while i'm sure the guy in the bottom could kick the calvin klein model's ass its nothing some good BJJ and a good striking practice couldn't prepare you for in the event you end up angering the guy in the bottom pic and have to defend yourself...but doesn't the guy at the bottom just look like a comical douchebag

I actually get quite the opposite. I'm not huge or anything even close to it, but you can tell that I work out. What I've noticed is that I'm definitely getting more eye contact from girls, which makes it a lot easier to talk to them. And it's kind of hard to explain, but you just get treated with more respect overall. For example, the other day this dude bumped into me, actually we kind of bumped into each other, it wasn't even his fault... but he was QUICK to say "sorry bro" lmao. Today as I was leaving the gym, this random swole dude gave me the "real recognize real" head nod on my way out. Little shyt like that. You probably would never even notice it otherwise.

Hell yeah. You can tell I work out as well, but I have more of a lean muscular look. I be getting apologies for NOTHING. People in stores don't even have to bump into me and be like "sorry bro/buddy/man"...I be like " what you apologizing for?".....

I like to THINK I get more likes/looks from females (it seems that way), but IDK....haven't REALLY tested the waters as of lately...

yeah the guy in the grey is closer to what I am (but not that broad). I'm going for more of a Tony Jaa build at MOST) like this....

Its about symmetry and building usable hard dense muscle thats not about going for the pump and maximizing size in my opinion

these looks are easier to attain, don't look cartoonish and females find them more attractive for the most part, the advantage the bigger guy has though is that a woman will feel more protected and less guys would start anything with you but when your bigger you have to be nicer and friendlier because your already being pre-judged as a douchebag

you can also be a bigger guy that focuses on symmetry and not look comical and in proportion as well like Gregg Plitt who in my opinion has the perfect mix of size and symmetry...is it natural probably not but he's a fashion model so I can't knock him for using gear if he does

Funny, I actually do box/kickbox, but no one has ever asked me that (besides those who have seen my equipment in my car)....

The goal should be to still look good in normal clothing like this...he doesn't look like a roided up meathead at all
