Weight Lifting

[hb2]

Very well said hb2. Extremely well written and factual.
Shame that many straight men always try to denigrate most
anything they're uncomfortable with. Such as gay men.

Thank you very much for the compliment. That is very kind of you, and I appreciate it! And I agree that it is a sad shame about many straight men and their discomfort with gays.

In urban gay lore (at least) huge muscles are often accompanied by a tiny dick, so there may be some basis for this. [Other popular apocryphal theory: men with small dicks overcompensate by lifting weights.]

As for hb2's comment, about not knowing any gay men who work out -- I'm wondering where you live? I live in NYC and got a jolly laugh from your post.

I agree completely with what you said about the gay lore associating huge muscles with a tiny dick. I always hear that from gays as the main reason why so many of them are not attracted to muscular guys. That and simply aesthetics, as many gays just don't find it physically attractive or cuddly enough.

But like I said before, there are some exceptions to EVERY rule.

Also, NYC (or any other comparably large city) is not representative of all America, which is best illustrated by its suburbs and small towns all across the country. I do a great deal of national and international traveling for business and leisure, and I ALWAYS spend a lot of time in the gay communities all over, from large cities to backwater towns. I have seen firsthand that muscular guys who lift weights regularly and for a sustained period of time are no more prevalent among the gay population as it is among the straight. The contrary is just a common myth and a stereotype. This is true for mainstream America, and especially among most countries in Europe and Asia, where the thin, toned, male runway-model type is most highly valued among the gay population, again probably even more so than among the straight.

Would that be like your attempt to "call out" Monster
for fake pix when yours are obviously poorly faked as well.
Is this the adolescent humour your refering to?
Or was it when that particular Op was refering to your pix? Hmm?
I did notice you never answered him either.
Thank you hb2! it does seems straight men are insecure around other
men even if they just happen to glance at them. There have been many threads here about "Gay guys looking at my junk".
As if!

I am a proud homosexual. It is true that overall, gay men worship at the church of physical fitness and body image perfection.
Now, we all know that particular lifestyle as all other notions do, trickles down to the many many levels that exist in life.
I will never be that kind of gay perfection. I am however happy to say working out has done wonders for my body, libido and over all general sense of well being.

In closing dear reader, I am sad to inform you the gay men do not have the market cornered on physical fitness of any kind. My first bodybuilding hero was Arnold and he is str8 as hell.

Hi Oh_Yeah. First of all, do not sell yourself short! You can be and probably are "that kind of gay perfection", but maybe just not in the way that you THINK is physically perfect or maybe you just don't know it. In reality, NOBODY is physically perfect, or perfect period! The truth is that all people are beautiful in one way or another. Muscles do NOT "make the man", and muscles do NOT equal perfection or beauty. Beauty and "perfection" lie in who you are and how you feel, NOT how much or how often you lift weights in the gym, my friend! SELF-CONFIDENCE is the sexiest and most attractive characteristic! Be that, and you will look as beautifully perfect as anybody can be!
