You the idiot. I presume rat that you meant whining?

We can all understand each other with more education, use of proper grammar and spelling and less bicep curls.

But if you surf the net all day when do you have time to work-out?

Sugardaddy seeks muscle boy. Im filthy stinking rich, richer than Malema’s hand in the cookie jar. I need perfection in my life – you dont need to work a day in your life again, just make the old codger happy.

I can so relate to this. I have been gymming now for at least 7 years, and though I had times where I had the “athletic look” I have never been a steroid bunny with huge muscles (even though I secretly want them). I also had a rough year, and since January, work and all the other excuses caused me to not go, for the first time in 7 years. But as winter ended, and workloads got lighter, I awoken out ofthe ashes, and decided to reclaim that energy I just did not have previously.
And yes, all the people that bitch and moan about how gay culture is all about looks and getting laid, should really start making peace with it. It has always been and will always be like that. When I was younger, I fell for that, and perhaps it was the reason I started gymming. But anyone who has ever put in the efforts to actually gym hard and look good (for whatever reason), will know that in the end, being healthy and the self confidence it brings, as well as how good you feel, in the end, is the reason you do it. It has nothing to do with being vain. If you think that, you have obviously been too lazy to actually try it yourself. And in the end of it all, this cross of gay culture to “have a good, fit body” is good, because it makes the average gay guy much healthier than the straight guy of the same age.
