It is starting to happen - people talking behind my back @ Gym

Ditto, ditto, ditto.....man I relate!
I switched gyms last year due to a severe breakup, talk about Fitness/Powerlifting babe and me....I was still learning, had not trained as serious as I was then for more than 2 years and was hammering it out. I was still trying to get lean.
Last year dropped most all the bodyfat and have kept it below 10%....rumors began, but I was still all natural, so I asked them to take a couple of "fuck yous" and call me in the morning.
April this year I decided to take the plunge (no pun intended on pinz) and have added over 20# in the last 2 months. I've been back and forth to the old gym only 3x most recently in the last week and I'm getting the same looks at my new gym that I am at the old club....they are:
Manboys pumping it out and glaring at me cause the fitness chicks come up and workout with me now and won't give them the time of day.....they know they'll never get some of that (she's on this board BTW<G>) we've had our discussions the last year and they never caught hold of Creatine and Glutamine....God, if they'd just start with the basics....they'd have a chance.
big boy wannabe's that used to hit on my ol' lady prior to me joining this gym, now look at me and wander off the floor when I hit it.....the intimidation factor is to much for them...they sit and gossip like old ladies while doing their bench work and wonder how/why I've gotten so big......I call it work ethic with proper blood chemistry....so if they'd quit jawing and start working they'd have a chance.....you think????
Smart ass remarks of "I'd be huge too if....." you fill in the blank....that's met with a smile and I tell em' it's special whey I order from back east (which is actually true....I don't buy commercially packaged shit and it's made a huge difference in this particular cycle). (www.proteinfactory.com for those interested in no preservatives, flavors or wasteful shipping containers)
I was big before I hit it in April, at 223, 34" waist and 9% bodyfat at 6'2", I've moved to 244, 34" and 8% and shit's always gonna be talked, all I do now is smile......cause the old addage that "you can't be king of the hill, unless you're willing to fend off the attackers" is true.....bring 'em on<wink>.

It's very simple. I just tell them I maintain a certain diet and every once in a while I add a little something more and maintain that, then add something else and I grow accordingly as I add more to my daily intake. More protein, supplements, and creatine.

When you progress from "I wonder if that guy lifts?" to "I wonder if that guy uses roids?" then you have made it to a new level.
When they say "That guy has to be juicing!!!" Then you are there, man!!!

I just don't see it, I look in the mirror and despite almost 20 extra pounds of lbm and lost 5lbs of fat and an inch on my arms, I still feel the same size. I must have that reverse anorexia shit.
The scale says it, the tape says it, the weights say it, and people say it, but I don't see it. My dumb ass shouldv'e took before and after pics!

I love it when I wear these BIG sweat shirts in the gym and they see me doing heavy bench or heavy DBells and say whoa bro take that shirt off and let me see you you must be a bull under them clothes to do that weight and they pick at me saying he wears a big sweat shirt in the summer he will prob wear a parka during the winter. I still don't take it off, it might stop some of the comments, I guess NONE ever say it to my face for what ever reason. Let them talk bro just train and grow leave the wimps far behind.
