My aas boys. Lets hear it

Conanx, Dude, that's rough! That's one negative environment to be in. No one I spend time with would act like that. If they do I cut them out. It's either be reasonably kind (as I would be to them) or don't expect me to participate. I just don't have time for that kind of negativity. But, it's tough when it's your family. Still, there have been times when I made no contact with either of my parents and certain other important people because I wanted no part in their behavior. Every situation is different though. All the best!

Needto, I'm with you man on not being able to be super selfish etc. I'm an open book type too and just don't have it in me to be consistently mean or anything like that- I can get there if pushed or when a situation calls for it. But, for the most part I don't want to live like that either. I guess, for me, there becomes a fine line between being kind and "spoiling" someone. If someone is taking advantage of me in any way I have to "pull back" a bit and rethink my approach to the situation.

This is a silly example, but... I have one rental building at the moment, 5 units. One day I was working on this lady's apartment who is consistently rude, abrassive, and demanding. I'm up there checking on the wiring or something and on the way out she just hands me a bag of garbage like, "Here, you take this out!" I calmly looked down at her and said, "I've got other things to do Rita, I'm not your bitch." And, then walked away. I wouldn't have done that with someone nicer, but someone nicer wouldn't have been that rude to me in the first place. If anyone asked for my help I'd gladly give it, but don't bully me or try to manipulate me. That's my take on it. I try to love everyone, but respect is earned!

LMAO true story. Wife tells me daily she could care less if I go to the gym or not. She could give a fuck less what I look like and this is not what she cares about.

So I stop going to the gym ( not stop but stop going as much) and now She is telling her friends, people at the stores we reg go to and everything that ( Well I am pissed. He only goes to the gym 1-2 times a week now). Lol for some one who swears to god she don't care she sure tells a lot of people about it when I am not working my ass off in the gym

SOME (not all) gals don't want their man to be TOO happy or contented with life away from them. they somehow think that if their man is happy away from them that they have somehow lost their control/influence over him.

this is also known as "Feminine Logic".

Yep, I have a girlfriend that couldn't care less that I am a bodybuilder and it really bothers me. She doens't work out at all and doesn't acknowledge my hard work at all. I want a girl that appreciates it. After all, I bust my ass in the gym 4-5 days a week to look this way. I feel I deserve it.

i feel you on that one

Hey Needto we all think your a sexy beast. Thank's for all your help bro, you have helped everyone in this thread so much and so many other as well, I'm sure it's countless. They should give you the Sandow just for all the help you've given others.

I have to say the last six weeks have been a crazy time for me with the heart attack and surgery and all. I have to say that my girl has been the best women I have ever been with throughout it all. If I'm bummed out about being out of the gym and not lifting for the last six weeks she tells me how sexy I look and that she can't tell I've lost size. If I complain about this huge scar running down my chest, she tells me she thinks it's sexy. Kristine has been great to me and I just want to give a shout out to her.

By the way bro's just started lifting again this week. Gonna take it easy and work back up to get my strength and size back. Then blast off once again.

needto bro, no matter what cards life sways your way remember to always remain cool and collected and stay positive.

my dad always taught me to stay positive no matter what.

people who are negative don't even deserve to be acknowledged.

I'm pretty sure most people don't like bodybuilders, especially girls, but to me its a hell of a lot better then being an unnoticed average guy. Fuck em.

 

[iggy]

lololol. people must hate bodybuilders.

especially overweight americans.

all my friends that don't lift regularly say steroids as soon as i say bodybuilding....
