Bodybuilders are ignorant!

Do people ever judge you on the basis of your appearance? (ie. your musclarity?) I have a university degree, own my own business and have investments in other areas, plus a wide variety of interests outside bodybuilding as I'm sure you all have. But I still am viewed as an ignorant muscle head by many people. Do any of you experience this? If people truly knew how much reading, planning and dilligence it takes to put on even five pounds of lean muscle I'm sure they would hold a different opinion. What are your experiences? Peoples reactions to you?

yeh ppl judge on appearances all the time. say if a fat guys running down the road with his shirt off, ppl think,"ok thats gross but atleast hes getting out there trying to lose wieght". then a skinny dude does the same and ppl think "go0od on him for geting fit". but if u or me go out there and run with our shirts off ppl shout at us sayn we r showoffs and to put a shirt on. thing is we startd out as 1 of those first 2 dudes. i honestly reckon its just jelousy. we put the time and effort into our health and apearances. they dnt want to put the effort in themselves so they judge us that do.

Its kinda worse for me becos Im a Security Gaurd and Im stocky, people automatically think Im dumb, guys who are arrogant muscle heads all try to size me up along with the newbe lifters and wonna be thugs.

Of course they all talk "Smack", but they never follow though cos they know they will get a "Smack". LOL In my profession and Ive ben doing it for years I have learnt that guys who talk smack most of the time are trying very hard to cover inferiorities and low self esteem problems.(losers basiclly)

But people are surprised wen they talk to me and find I actually know a thing or two and can hold a interesting conversation. They find out that Im really a nice guy, and Im also a Christian.

My size and strength comes in really handy as a deterrent to most dicks. they see me and decide not to go a head with wot they were about to do, and that has been proven so many times when I have been hired and replace smaller guys, shop theft as pretty much gone from Bad to non existent.

If im bouncing I can take down and detain alot off guys my size and much bigger, becos Im a strength builder I am strong and I like it that way. I have good muscle size as a side effect too my chosen sport, so I look big in my uniform. But hell man I have worked damn hard for it and it costs me a fortune. But I dont preach nuthin to no one, I just live and want to help people.

Oh come on guys stop being meanies.

Some bodybuilders I know are highly intelligent, however some are dumb beef cakes, just the same as everyone else.

People just think I'm a dumb because I'm a ditzey blonde haha To be honest I don't give a rats ass, I have a great job in IT and earn good money.

Here is the number one problem with bodybuilding and why it is never going to be liked or accepted by the average person. BODYBUILDING AND BODYBUILDERS ARE NOT COOL. And in order for anything to be embraced, followed or admired by society at large it has to have some element of enherent coolness. Because people want to be cool and to associate themselves with things that they think are cool. The image that people have of bodybuilding is oiled up, steroid popping thong wearing man-mountains posing on stage :? is this cool? These are things that people mock. They think it looks stupid. Maybe they relate the want to look stupid with actually being stupid. So i guess what i'm saying is that average people are always going to dislike bodybuilders and think they are stupid and no, most people genuinly are not jelous of bodybuilders. These are things you're just gonna have to get used to unfortunatly.

Im sorry I know i've probaly offended all of you but this is all pretty much true.

So your implying that the average person has a inferior complex when comparing themselves to bodybuilders? Nice.

Is skateboarding cooler? My perception is it's cool as a teenager...but at 25 years old, 60kg, living at home and wearing oversized baggy clothes (which are actually a mans small) is my perception of an adult skateboarder. So that must mean everyone thinks that way?

Tell that to Tony hawk bud! look how old he is and he became a millionaire from skateboarding...so yeah...its pretty cool. :pfft:

I'm not saying I don't like skateboarding...I think it's awesome. I'm just saying what wynton was meaning cause he is a member and obviously likes bodybuilding to some degree.
