Anyone else too shy to show their muslces?

[tigawoods]

I have a problem wearing a tight t-shirt in the gym or on the street. It has to be baggy. I'm quite muscular and about 7% bf. But being a show off is something I have a hard time coming to terms with.. I have worn a t-shirt once or twice and felt extremely uncomfortable. The funny thing is when I was a teenager I had no problem showing off. Now it's tougher than ever.

I grew up in a quite wealthy family and my dad brought us up to act very modest. He'd drive a very average car even though he could afford the best. We never had the best toys or anything. And no he wasn't miserly. He gave a lot of money to charities.

Fast-forward, I work as a trader in a hedge fund and make decent money. But still drive a Golf while my colleagues are on Porsches and Ferraris’, Yes I know I can get one of these babies. However, I'm thinking of a classic DB6 Aston Martin though. Only a few people would know is real value.

Is anyone else conscious of showing off too?

I have no qualms about showing off my pasty white beer belly & scrawny arms / legs in public. Women love it because they don't feel intimidated that I look better (semi) naked than they do.

It's ok to be insecure.

Everyone loves my muffin top and I show it off at will.

Actually, I'm kidding about that. I go to GREAT lengths to hide my not as attractive parts and dress very specifically to accentuate my better attributes including my shoulders, arms and lower legs. I try to dress appropriate for my level of fitness.

All that being said, I don't get by on personality alone anymore.

Heck no!!! If you work hard to build it show it off bro!!! You never know when a kid will just walk by and see you and be inspired to start training!!! Let the world see your discipline and hard work! My .02

Do you let them play with it?

I don't normally wear revealing stuff. Friday I wore a trendy (to the extent you can call anything bought at Target trendy) t-shirt to work. It has very short sleeves that reveal more arm than I normally do. Within five minutes of arriving some guy says "man, you're buffed...you been working out?". Now, I've been working here 3 1/2 years now and I don't look any different than I ever did. The only difference was I let it show for once. I was miserable all day actually.

nope, eye candy only. Only one man molests my muffintop.
