This thread is really cool. Not very often do I actually read every single post in a thread.
I'm 6'2" 265 or so. Not in the best shape now.....been natty for quite a while. But the size is still very evident. Here's some of the reactions I've had.....some good, some bad.
Some women who I knew were really headstrong.....kind of dropping the whole game for me. This is at work. Asking me what they could do to help etc.....That's probably my favorite....would make any guy feel good.
Also at work....I've had superiors who were my age or younger....and rather skinny...or really fat......treat me unjustly.....and I assume it was out of jealousy. I even had a guy who was also jacked.....but not quite as good looking and obviously didn't know his shit as well as I did......and he decided not to like me too. I'm normally rather quiet.....I'm kind of shy.....and that causes a lot of folks to be weary. Once they know me though.......that all changes.
I'm also the first person asked to help people move or carry heavy things.
I definately get a lot of looks from people....I wouldn't say bad. Sometimes w/ the women though.....it's hard to tell if it's lust or just novelty.
In the gym....same as another guy was saying.....there's not a whole lot of chatter anymore. There used to be. Now....it's headphones on.....and I'm done in 35-40 minutes(lifting)......meanwhile the guy on the pec dec when I walked in is now getting on with set number 7.
Jeans and shirts are a problem. I try to buy good jeans because it's going to take me 3 hours of brands and sizes to get it right. So I'll pay to make sure they'll last a long time. Usually buy 2 pairs.
I do usually try to dress pretty damn covered up......So I'm usually looked at as big.....but not a bodybuilder.
