" Ooh, I’m not sure I like the sound of this at all The other advantage of choosing one or the other is that we can tell ourselves it’s the reason we’re not knee-deep in moist minge 24/7. “Ah, I would be, but I’m unfortunately blessed with big bones” is much easier than “Ah, I would be, but unfortunately I’ve got a personality as attractive as an evasive politician.” Come on, work with us here | |||

"Obsession is what most weak people call dedication. Not really surprising there from the response." "Obsession, like dedication, is highly subjective. Obsession, objectively speaking, is only a more extreme form of dedication. However, from the perspective of society, obsession tends to have a more negative connotation, whereas dedication tends to have a more positive one." | |||

There’s too many judges in this world. Let people enjoy what they want without being stigmatised with a label." Pfffttt I've dedicated my entire adult life to the pursuit of health and fitness I know what dedication is working full time and training 25hrs a week on top. I have known many professional sports men and women including world record holder's and gold medal winning Olympians. I have also known many people who have dedicated their lives in the pursuit of physical perfection in appearance and trust me the latter are nearly always narcissistic,it goes with the territory. But if they are happy doing that it's their lives. I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying from my experience certain gym types are narcissistic. And if we are going down the road of being judgemental I can tell you for a fact, ripped up roid enthusiasts judge everyone by their high standards. I'm glad to be out of it and healthy but overweight. | |||

But also gym goers calling others lazy. I think it’s down to the individual at that point arrogance can be in many form. Not just on appearance. I don’t go to the gym. Only because the times of the day I can train is stupidly busy. So I run, walk lots, climb and luckily have a very demanding physical job. And regularly lifting weights 25kg - 90kg so I guess I lift at work. I can see how people become really into it though. Training releases great endorphins and even though you’re training hard, afterwards you feel great. | |||

" I agree and I was talking about those who attend gyms and slate other members, I just dont get it. I did weights for almost 40yrs and got nothing but respect, support and great advice from the bigger guys. You're also correct that you dont have to go to a gym to build as you perfectly illustrate. I just dont feel that a mans size and definition dictates his personality. I mean, some might look at you and dismiss you as the type that's been talked about on this thread but you're actually a kind, gentle man who apparently gives great hugs | |||

If those slating spent less time on what others do in the gym and focused more on what they themselves are doing they might see more gains I think it comes from both sides Not just people that don’t train calling gym goers. But also gym goers calling others lazy. I think it’s down to the individual at that point arrogance can be in many form. Not just on appearance. I don’t go to the gym. Only because the times of the day I can train is stupidly busy. So I run, walk lots, climb and luckily have a very demanding physical job. And regularly lifting weights 25kg - 90kg so I guess I lift at work. I can see how people become really into it though. Training releases great endorphins and even though you’re training hard, afterwards you feel great. I agree and I was talking about those who attend gyms and slate other members, I just dont get it. I did weights for almost 40yrs and got nothing but respect, support and great advice from the bigger guys. You're also correct that you dont have to go to a gym to build as you perfectly illustrate. I just dont feel that a mans size and definition dictates his personality.

"I'm just resigned to the fact I have to live with my puppy-fat and dåd-carcass, and mask it behind tailored shirts and clever photography. Some of you mofos do indeed have some admirably toned bodies. " Nero, you fill those shirts perfectly | |||

"Yet you are all judging me by my comments. Double standards To be fair your comment blanketing all gym goers as Narcissistic is pretty rude. Yet you’re taking it personally when people pull you up in it. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion and also to disagree or agree. " Not judging at all, just offering a different viewpoint. | |||

" From someone who's scared of the gym, my new way of thinking is if I go gym hunk they might show me how to use the gym " Don’t be scared, you will be offered an induction and most have PTI sessions to help you settle in. A good gym will offer a few free sessions to help you find your feet. | |||

"The funny thing is from experience I see more woman, being obsessed with self reflection in gyms and gym culture these days then men, wearing tight Spandex looking outfits that are more ideal for their Instagram followers, than they are for for actually working out. This is why I prefer natural women, and not gym bunnies, because gym culture has gotten so bad these days, because I feel most women on the gym these days are doing it more for attention and insta numbers than actually for self improvement. Every day is glute day for them." The only way id end up on insta during a workout session is on a gym fails thing. Like yesterday when i near fell down the stairs because my legs werw all weird after the walking lunges | |||

So because someone goes to the gym to keep in the best shape they can and fight off middle age flab it makes them a self obsessed narcissist? Do you care to explain this train of thought? Lol have you spent much time in the gym or around gym types. In my small amount of experience which is using the gym for about 40years most (not all) Spend more time looking in the mirror than actually working out and nowadays spend more time taking selfies and posting on insta. If that isn't narcissistic behaviour then please tell me what is? Keeping fit and healthy Being consumed with body fat % and appearance Thumb's down. Would you rather have sex with someone who is healthy and happy and attentive to your needs Or a ripped six pack wielding hunk who spends the entire time checking himself out in the mirror almost oblivious to your presence? " you're going to that type of gym because the gym I train no one does that | |||

"Whats your preference ?" I'd rather some muscle but have been blesssed with a dadbod! Thank God that everyone doesn't like the same thing. It also kinda depends on the person, a little bit. As I have got older, I find it easier to find attractive features in other people's bodies, as I hope they do in mine. | |||

"I love these threads, women tend to favour the dad bod style and can at times think guys that go to the gym etc are up themselves. Guys with dad bods, at times can think they are unattractive, think women prefer toned men and can get down about themselves. Guys who train and have a muscle/ toned body can at times be up themselves but on the most part be just as decent as anyone else. The ones that are up themselves get confused as to how dad bod guys get more success. The answer to it all is simple, be yourself, embrace others and accept that we all like different things " That's easy for you to say, you gorgeous hunk. That's a version of that thing rich people say about money doesn't make you happy! | |||

"I have been attracted to different bodies but personality definitely is more attractive. Buff is an ex body builder from years ago so is very broad and bulky with fabulous chesticles as I call them. I adore his shape but appreciate that is my flavour and others will prefer a different shape xx" Nah. You're right. He is rather tasty. As are you! | |||
