[Faizakafez]

I'm jacked son!!!

but 40-60 k isnt much imo if you have a house and SO kids etc

 

[nefertiti]

they can't spare an hour and a half four times a week?? puh-leez! i'm in the financial field and i don't know very many people that work as many hours as i do and i still find time.

I find the time to go, and I work as hard as anyone here, harder than most.

But when my nephew lived with me, if I had to chose between going home and watching a movie with him before bed time or going to the gym, I obviously picked him.

i have a stay-at-home-mom wife and three kids. . .my exercise regimen is part of the whole balancing act that is my life. . .it's part of who i am. . .i try not to skimp on any part of my life. . .especially the family stuff. . .sometimes i find myself in the gym at 2:00 am. . .sometimes i don't get a lot of sleep for extended periods of time. . .this is my life. . .it is what it is. . .

Every really jacked guy I ever dated was a tortilla short of a carne asada, mentally. Maybe it was only a coincidence, but I try to avoid that type.


PS -- since when did 40-60k become really loserish? I thought that would be squarely middle class.

Not in NYC, LA, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and most large cities.

being single making 60k is pretty damn good if you ask me

just sayin

I am still trying to figure out why MOST MEN care so much about being "jacked" when MOST WOMEN don't.

I mean, who are they trying to impress?

If a guy can be jacked and be witty, honorable, kind, motivated, well-traveled, well-mannered, etc etc etc - GREAT. But if a guy is in "average shape" and all of the rest of the above that is GREAT too! Even if the guy is in notsogreatshape, but is still active and willing to learn how to make healthy changes then GREAT too....

What I am saying is - doesn't seem to make a lot of sense for a man to put MOST of his energy into being jacked, when that doesn't put him in a better position to attract a quality member of the opposite sex.

It isn't necessarily a question of time. It's more of a "body style". In certain circles, looking big can work against you. I run 6' 3" and 230ish and 12-13% bf normally. When I do a light cycle or really focus on size, I go to 250-260ish. At that size, no matter what comes out of my mouth people think "big dumb football player" for the first 5 minutes of every conversation or presentation.

Some fields just expect a certain look.

I'm about as jacked as a '72 Pinto with deflated air shocks.

people in large cities are fiscally retarded. . .generally speaking.

i lived in pittsburgh (not a large city but a city nonetheless). . .we paid $130,000 for our first house, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two car garage, vinyl siding. . .nothing special. . .sold it 3 years later for close to $200,000. . .why? cause somebody said that's how much it was worth. . .complete bs imho.

10 years later we moved to a smaller town in north central pa. . .we bought a 4 bedroom, two bathroom, brick, two-story, two car garage, on a lot twice the size of the one in pittsburgh for $90,000.

moral of the story? city peoples is stoopid.

eh, fairly basic sexual psych will tell you otherwise for some of that.
