Re: Public Perception of Bodybuilding
Fab post!!!
I don't take much notice about public perception though... if someone takes drugs, is gay, is too big.. so what! Accept them for them and get on with it.
You don't have to like it - just accept that each and everyone one of us is different! Public perception and society is cruel enough in this day and age!

Re: Public Perception of Bodybuilding
If you think it is bad for the men, it is even worse for the women.

If you say 'female bodybuilder' most think of a woman who looks like a man in a bikini.

Very few like the look of comp condition on a woman, unless of course they are also BBers, then they appreciate the effort, or schmoes

Re: Public Perception of Bodybuilding
I dont really care about the publics perception i do it for myself not them i dont comment on my friends whos only exercise is a brisk walk to the pub.

To me its normal and so i dont give a toss what others think about my choice to go to the gym and be muscular and in the end if someone is taking the p!ss on your choice whether your a female BB or male BB its because they are jealous that you have achieved something that they have not.

Re: Public Perception of Bodybuilding
Two things that annoy me about people who don't lift weights ...

Number One: they say it's boring.
I guess this means they just don't have the discipline to train consistently. It certainly isn't boring if you are actually thinking about what you are doing and not just doing pointless s 4x10 with the same weight every week!

Number Two: they don't want to get that big.
If only it was that easy ....

I dumped a BF that helped me to put on all the muscle in the first place.

He also got all weird after my first comp.

It is totally mad, as it is not like the fat doesn't grow back.

I think the thing is that men don't want women to change, they want the girl they hooked up with.

Re: Public Perception of Bodybuilding
Oh, this is something that really p****s me off, the comments and the attitude of some people really stinks......

It's bad enough for the guys, but when me and my gf go out (particularly when it's warm) and enjoy the sun we are like the local freak show....it's a bit embarrasing to be honest......

My personal opinion is she's hot as hell, so I couldn't give a F**K....and I support her in whatever she chooses to do....bigger or smaller......the annoying thing is she busts her **** to look like she does and her diet is second to none, she's also natural (unlike myself), so doubly hard for her, but they are just ignorant *****......OOOpps ranting
