Inspired by Burning Inside's post, I think there are a lot of misconceptions, stereotypes, and unnecessary judgements as to why people pump iron. I myself do it to
a. be healthy & in shape
b. improve self image
I don't work out to get girls, but if they're attracted to it well that's another benefit.
Another point is that even though I myself am natural, I don't think people who use gear should be criticized for using it, unless they try to pass as a natural in some drugfree comp. It's their choice, who cares otherwise? Let everyone do their own thing, and don't get pissed when you see people flexing in the gyms either, that's half the reason they have mirrors there in the first place. Pull the bug out your ass and just lift for yourself.
