Pros and cons of being big.

[Ulcasterdropout]

I've been big my whole life and it never really made a difference besides clothes and car shopping.

Maybe if you tried interacting with other people you'd see the difference.

Kidding man, how's things going?

The whole flying thing that Becoming and others mentioned, makes the little bit of extra money for first class all the more worth it.

Seriously, it's not that much more, and even when it's booked solid, it's easy to scam yourself into an emergency exit aisle seat, lot's more leg room, and you usually end up by yourself.

The arm/leg/foot falling asleep thing is a circulation problem moreso than a "being a big dude" problem.........and forget about sleeping comfortably when you're big and on GH.


Oh yeah.....and wait until you have kids......the stares from other parents are comical at best.

I always try to get the exit rows for the leg room. My circulation problem is I tend to sleep on my side/stomach and trap my arm under me and have it go dead for a while.

I love going places with my bro and his daughter people are freaked out by the two of us with a six year old swinging off of us.

Not a lot going on here. Not in the big WY right now, did a stint in New Mexico and have been home a little over a week. I head back to New Mex on wednesday for a while.

... but just trying to get comfortable sucks. i don't sleep on my back, i just lay there and stare off into space. i have to sleep on my side or stomach. then my back starts hurting, or my shoulder. then i move. then my hip hurts, so i move again. then my pillow is either to hard and lumpy, or it's a piece of shit and too thin. then i move again. by this time i've worked up a sweat and overheated and have to throw the covers off. finally when i'm cooled back down, the cycle starts all over again. i'm seriously starting to have a complex about going to bed cuz i can never fall sleep

I go through that routine a lot, and I'm not even very big. (5'10" 245)

actually i sleep better with dakotah next to me, whether we play before bedtime or not. that parts psychological i know, but just trying to get comfortable sucks. i don't sleep on my back, i just lay there and stare off into space. i have to sleep on my side or stomach. then my back starts hurting, or my shoulder. then i move. then my hip hurts, so i move again. then my pillow is either to hard and lumpy, or it's a piece of shit and too thin. then i move again. by this time i've worked up a sweat and overheated and have to throw the covers off. finally when i'm cooled back down, the cycle starts all over again. i'm seriously starting to have a complex about going to bed cuz i can never fall sleep

When I'm 240 + I sweat like a mutha...thats the worst thing for me...also the gyms here are never air conditioned.

my matress gets all flat on my side. so my wife ends up sleeping up hill from me. and then I have to buy a new matress cause the shit is uncomfortable as hell.

breaking beds, couches, chairs, especially folding chairs.

there are not enough buffets, and no one else likes to go to them except other big people.

everyone is always on a diet and won't STFU.

I hear you on the chicks intimidated thing. Not a problem for me anymore now that I am married though.

I also get arm/legs falling asleep all the time depending on how I am sitting/standing.

Seats in airplanes and cars just suck for the most part.

Wash your back? I went with the wife to check out a condo once and I couldn't even fit in the tiny ass shower. Forget about 90% of tubs out there too (no tub sex - thank god for pools/hot tubs!)

I am sure I have more. I can't imagine for you 300lbers..

Tough to do your own glute shots

When clothes shopping and you find something you like, they rarely have your size

Sweat like a pig in the summer. Especially when on

musclehead/juicehead jokes

feet hurt all the time. I have flat feet and stand all day.

Annoying people kiss your ass and ask you about lifting/juicing all the time
