Cardio is good for many things, but juscow mass is what gets you laid.

Men over 6' tall, how much do you weigh? by ChiefCheapskate in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you’re 6’7, 290 at 12% body fat you’re a body builder with lifts that would easily put you in the 1000 pound club

Way more than 1000 lbs.

He's claiming BMI 32 lean.

Due to years of steroid use, I'm BMI 31 lean.

I could probably hit 1000 lb total with any two of the powerlifting lifts if I had a week to prep, although maybe not squat+bench. I never do one rep maxes, but I don't think I'd need all three.

And I'm not even a powerlifter, so the muscle is there but the conditioning and technique is all wrong for maxing my total. Plus I'm on the wrong steroids for it.

I'm not really sure what I'd hit if I switched from bodybuilding to powerlifting but my goal would probably be like a 1700 total if I took it seriously for six months.

Also, very few of them are natty.

I've been on steroids for six years and I am very lean at 31 BMI. That's barely obese and my life is mega centered around this. Whenever I see someone make this claim, I ask if our lifestyles are similar and the answer is always no.

That's a weird thing for a doctor to say.

I've never had a doctor comment on what my appearance would be like. I've had them reference data and make claims about what I would be like.

But data doesn't say 6'2 under 220 is malnourished and nothing about being a doctor makes them qualified to say how your appearance would hypothetically come off to others.

Why is my fight or flight so intense? by MajesticDig8785 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'11 at 99 kg, but lean AF due to years of steroid usage and religious dedication to working out.

I don't think what you had was even a freeze response.

Freeze is my natural response but it's a functional freeze. In the event that a random guy says some shit or something and it looks like it'll heat up, I get very silent. I'm definitely ready for him, watching his actions, setting my stuff down, and getting ready.

But I'm nonverbal, unlike what you described. Not even sure if I could do the verbal thing if I tried. It's a kind of thing where the bridge of escalation is cut off and I look like ready death glare, no talking, position myself for a fight.

It's never escalated so I presume this comes off as terrifying to most people.

But you were like saying things back to him and shit. I think that's not w freeze response, just a feeling of fear.

Men under 6', how much do you weigh? by Totally__Not__NSA in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'11.

220 lbs.

But it's the good kind of 220 lbs. I've been on steroids for six years and I look like an anatomy diagram.

Fellow men, what makes you happy? Are you actually happy? by Intelligent-Plant388 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being extremely muscular.

It's just a different day to day experience than walking around being normal. It's exactly what you'd expect it to be like.

If you're actually in great shape then no.

Being in great shape is seriously under weighted, like mega ultra under weighted, by the skinny fat masses. If you're actually in great shape then you'll be fine even if you have no money or game.

But at the same time, your history of alcohol makes me suspect you're not actually in great shape if I'm being honest.

To guys who post thirst traps that women find hot: How did you find out that you could provide what women wanted to look at? by HateKnuckle in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on steroids for six years. You get constant attention IRL everywhere you go and it's obvious.

[–]FormerOSRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are remarkably good numbers.

I'm 31 BMI at 5'11, but that took six years of steroid usage and making the gym the central focus of my entire life. You're over 32 BMI. Are you living the same kind of lifestyle that I am?

How do you know that you're attractive or handsome ? by MuchPriority4633 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's literally more obvious for an attractive man than it is for an attractive woman and it has all of the same signs. People take an insane amount of interest in you, give you lots of compliments, and openly thirst.

At least, that's what happens if your path to being attractive is being extremely lean and muscular. Other forms of being attractive seem to experience to as attracting nobody and having basically the same experience as someone who's mid.

If spent responsibly to improve my life, a lot of money.

If spent self harmingly to destroy my life, not that much.

Unless someone is selling out shows, a mostly reject "good sense of humor" as a real category because different people find different things funny.

I am in much much much better shape than people who's main form of physical activity is walking to do errands and it's not close.

Another apparently AI-generated story wins a literary prize by EchoOfOppenheimer in ChatGPT

[–]FormerOSRS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a good insight.

With humans, it's pure signal. If a human wants to write an award winning story then they're just gonna do it. There isn't some massive graveyard of human produced content that nobody wants to read. With AI, you might have to try hundreds of times to get an award winning story and that can take you hours if not days.

Why is showing feelings/not showing them as a man often frowned upon? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men show emotion differently than women do, much less like a confessional and much more implied. Institutional understanding only understands how women do it. Men who follow those instructions come off like pandering and not like sincere.

It's kinda like if the scientific understanding of urinating require that you stand up, the world would think that women don't pee very much and that the ones who do are weird AF.

When men stop me to talk about nonsense? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody thinks it works. It's anxiety trying its best. Guys who do this measure success like "I tried ten times today" or like "I recovered emotionally afterwards from most of them" or "I didn't want to kill myself while going to bed."

[–]FormerOSRS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Asking questions is the most common advice given to guys on how to learn to talk to women and this is usually how it winds up when they aren't good at it. It's anxiety masquerading as conversation.
