Not interested in dating a guy who works to much on his arms

Post Reply New Topic

I'm nobody's idea of what a "toned and buff" person should look like, but I'm doing alright.

My wife is shorter than I, and considerably slimmer.  When we go out together, arm-in-arm, people usually get out of our way without being asked.  But when she has to go to the other side of a store for something she forgot, she often complains about the people who just stood in her way and ignored her when she asked them to give a little way.

American weapon laws are funny. Especially in the states where concealed carry is prohibited but open carry is fine

This sentiment "Not interested in dating a guy who works to much on his arms" may be true.  Several years ago, I began to aggressively work out.  I started to build up some muscles.  My wife told me to stop it. Muscular men turn her off.

I worked out for a whole year----seven times a week, four hours a day.

I ran three marathons.

Women liked me better "out of shape."

so women prefer out of shape men?

No, don't listen to them; unless you're becoming very muscular, looking like a brioche then yeah, that shape is conventionally unattractive to a lot of women.

The Swimmer build (not overly muscular) is one of the most conventionally attractive shapes to a lot of women, don't let anyone convinces you otherwise.

sheesh...just asking. I know my state is pretty strict on what passes for a carry-able knife. The one you posted would not be allowed.

My husband is a bodybuilder, he literally needs me to help him put a jacket on sometimes cause his arms/shoulders are too big lol

People treat you with a lot more respect from what I've noticed. They're almost intimidated of you because you're not average looking at all. Nobody dare say anything bad to him kind of thing.

When you're with someone like that you feel a lot safer and protected cause nobody messes around. You're not gonna pick on some guys wife when the husband looks like they're built like a tank. They'd snap you in half for just looking at the wife wrong.

There's a hell of a lot of confidence you get from looking like that too. A bit too confident when he snaps the door handles off the kitchen door accidentally though.

I started getting quite toned and shredded myself (cause he eats ridiculously healthy and I tend to just eat what he eats anyway cause I'll mostly cook it cause his cooking is awful) but since I did I've noticed people at my work treat me a hell of a lot differently, like there were a group of girls there that gossiped and made drama about everyone but they don't do that around me now cause it's like they're suddenly intimidated of me? It's just weird how people have changed on the account of me looking better. These days they're all trying to be my best friend after they we're little dickheads before - and it's literally just to show off.

I'd say my life like this is way better because before I was going out with this skinny runt of a guy and it was just really boring. At least now I get the best piggybacks ever.

Of course it's all down to personal preference, no one is better than anyone else. I just think the mental health and physical benefits you get for being built like a brick s**t house are much better than not being from having the experience myself.

Fnord KNOWS!! ! ! Well said!!
