Do you ever get depressed at how common being Veeky Forums is these days? Working out and steroid use is more common than ever now. You aren't anything special anymore if you have a six pack, good chest definition and arms that stretch out a normal t-shirt. Tons of other guys have that.

I've recognized this and I've lost a lot of my motivation.

I dunno, does anyone else see this?

I think I get what you mean. Fitness was supposed to give you an edge over other people, but now every fucker has muscles.

I live in a DYEL country though, soall good

I disagree. The average person is getting fatter and fatter. So many overweight people.

I live in one of the fattest cities in one of the fattest countries, so it's still working out really well for me.

I guess it depends on where you live. It shouldn't demotivate you though

Nah senpai
Go to the beach and you'll feel better

Also, I work out and eat right to better and challenge myself not to get attention.
The perks of having a good body just come with lifting.

Regarding steroids, I see no point in not hopping on once you hit your genetic limit unless you just want to get diminishing returns each year

>looking good and being strong isnt easy anymore
>i dont want to do it anymore
pussy

That's because you're in a gym
Go to your local grocery store and you might be the biggest guy in there

Not sure where you life but i guess somewhere in australia where everyone roids for festivals lel?

im from germany and if you take 100 guys, 60 look average, 20 look "sporty", 15 athletic and only 5 guys look realy jacked.

I work in a company with 350 emplyoees and i am the only one who lifts.

Is AJ on roids

Yeah this is bullshit. Everyone is fat as fuck or untrained skinny. Evn here in europe.

Roiders ruined everything. Girls standards are much higher because of these retards.

No, that's exactly my point, I go to the grocery store and see steroidbrahs. I live in Toronto

I'm probably older than most people on this board, 29, when I started lifting in 2003 it was like no one else worked out, and most who did were DYEL mode. It just feels like it isn't worth it anymore, for the very reason that I can go to the grocery store and always see one or two guys with their gf walking around in sleeveless shirts and trying to look casual flexing

So not fatties? Fuck off

This. In the gym im skinny.

Outside im fucking beast.

>Even here in Europe

You say that like we expected you guys to not be effeminate weaklings? Your entire continent is literally ran by women lmao. Of course you're feeble.

Post pics

being Veeky Forums =/= being fit

normies jog a couple of times a week, sometimes go to the gym to use the machines and that's it. steroid use is only rampant among PTs and people's whose job it is to look big, at least here in the UK

>You aren't anything special anymore if you have a six pack, good chest definition and arms that stretch out a normal t-shirt. Tons of other guys have that.

yeah nah, stop baiting. if you picked 100 men off the street at random at most one or two will look like they lift, the rest will be skinnyfat, fat or skeletons.

I can't, I'm a public figure. lololol. in b4 'no ur lyin'

I get what you mean.

I live in South FL and I swear like every other guy is on roids, especially when you go to Miami on the weekends. Every other dude has triceps like a body builder, it's ridiculous. Lots of people on here saying OP's claim is not true because they don't live in a major city where competition is highest.

nice try amerifat, it's pretty obvious there's oestrogen in the water supply over there. the average white male must be well under 5'10, and in two weeks of travelling i saw maybe 10 people who looked like they had done something more strenuous than drive a car for the past 10 years.

>If you picked 100 men off the street

And here we are back to this meme again. The top 10% of men have 90% of the women. Women would literally share with a high value male than go for a man that is not up to standards.

If you want to be competitive nowadays you pretty much have to roid.

yeah, you can fuck all those disgusting fatties you live with

Block face it's literally that simple
Post pics and stop claiming bullshit

OP, I know what you mean, but you've gotta put that shit behind you and realize that you exercise for yourself. Even if everyone on the planet becomes swole tomorrow, that doesn't make you any bigger or smaller. Every man is born and dies naked and alone. You can choose to make yourself better, or you can choose not to.

>live in America
>35% of the population is obese
>70% of the population is overweight in general

even if the other 30% of the population was all jacked it still gives you an advantage

this is true.

there is always going to be someone bigger and better than you. I'm 6'2 but there will always be a guy who is 6'4. I could weigh 210lbs of muscle but then someone like Klokov comes along and weighs 260lbs of solid muscle. then someone like The Mountain comes along who can deadlift 1000lbs.

there is always a bigger fish. And even if you can maintain your position, eventually you will get old and whither while a new younger man will be there to take your place.

see here:

I lift because I enjoy it
I don't get why people get so mad when they find out steroid use is more common than ever

Idk maybe its my location but i live in the suburbs and wherever i go im usually the only Veeky Forums guy there. Whether i go to a store or college theres usually very few big guys.

...

>people actually responding to /r9k/ shitposting threads
They come here to try and make you feel bad because they look like shit, just ignore them.

Look at the statistics and people out of the gym. There are more obese and overweight people than ever. You're still better than all of them.

again 30% are not overweight
that still means there are people that are skinny or skinnyfat

being fit still means something
it doesn't mean you will fuck everyone you see but it means something

nice projecting, who mentioned women?

>If you want to be competitive nowadays you pretty much have to roid.

competing for what? the girl in the gym who is obviously on gear herself? if you need to juice to get laid then you have serious issues that juicing isn't going to fix. i hate to break it to you but most girls aren't attracted to mass monsters with a busted face. when will you learn? it's all about HEIGHT, FACE and FRAME

>If you want to be competitive nowadays you pretty much have to roid.

You're a fool. Yes, women like men who are big and in shape, but like most things in life there are diminishing returns involved. As long as you look reasonably good and aren't notably weak, then you're fine. Once you've met that criterion, the bitch is gonna start to look at other things about you, like your face, sense of humor, hobbies, wallet, etc. No bitch is gonna start to nitpick over the fact that your chest isn't Arnold-tier or that you can't squat 3pl8.

Using roids, however, WILL turn off a lot of women. The very few extra women that you manage to pick up by getting bigger through roids is certainly going to be outweighed by the many women who will view you as an insecure meathead. Every time.

Shouldn't the fact that people want to get fit make you feel better? Nice ego trip lol


Just move at your own pace and don't give a fuck about how fast or good other people's progress is, once you stop caring you'll feel better

Besides, it doesn't even take a lot of effort to start impressing the average person anyway

Clearly you have never been to a major city where competition is high. Go to Miami or LA, even Chicago (although not as bad) and you will see what I am talking about.

This is a discussion thread. I'm not interested in your opinion of my physique.

This chap gets it, and I think we're onto something now. Around major greater metropolitan areas, the competition is fierce. I get the feeling Miami has the problem even worse than Toronto because it's a beach city.

This is another good point.

I was thinking the same thing, but you said it for me.

>living in florida, california, or chicago

turns out you truly are retarded

I think you have a sampling bias. since you are into fitness, you probably frequent communities (online and irl) where people are above-average fit. you browse fitness forum boards, go to the gym and are of course bombarded with images of fit people. you are also training yourself to notice fit people. if you weren't fit, you wouldn't notice them as much. in reality, the average male is weak af and can barely do 10 push ups. there has not been a single year since who knows when when there hasnt been an increase in obesity. normie standards are low as fuck, if you have broad shoulders and defined abs, your body will not limit you with the ladies.

what you *should* be worried about is that the average female is getting fatter and fatter. soon chubby will be the norm, and only the top alpha males will have a chance to get a hottie

>waaah I'm a public figure I can't post pics

Get your head out of your ass

I guess you missed the posts where I talked about the grocery store.

>I see no point in not hopping on once you hit your genetic limit

lol, how many people actually reach their "genetic limit"?

it's like 1 in a million, if that
steroids are for failures

I can't believe you saved pictures from that disgusting pig's photo gallery.

This.

I live in an effeminate metrosexual European country and virtually every man I see has smaller legs than me.

*even* that is a sampling bias. fit people buy chicken and veggies at the grocery store. fat people buy processed shit at walmart or eat at fast food. and there is also my point about you noticing the fit people but not the unfit ones. you can't argue with the numbers brah, we are a nation of lardasses, now than ever before in history.

i saved a bunch of them. great reaction pics for when someone is going tootles xD im sucha quirky female

I can confirm the Miami thing

It's ridiculous desu everyone goes to the gym

People who train smart and can't add size no matter what

Like when you're a competitive bodybuilder and your stage weight stays the same after bulking for more than 2 years

I don't need to argue with numbers when the premise is flawed, brah. The entire point I'm making is that I am seeing this everywhere. Grocery store, subway, restaurants, city streets, wherever I go.

Made me rage so hard when I saw that gallery. Just the mentality of it - "if I embrace my disgusting pig body it makes me more le funny and down to earth". People actually found her "sense of humor" to be attractive. We already saw this with Amy Schumer. Scary to think about the future mating prospects when women can start to embrace their disgusting bodies and men are supposed to find it attractive.

>average
>not fat

nah brah your premise is broken brah. what you're seeing is no reliable model of the population brah because what you are seeing is flawed brah. what you are seeing is biased by
A: sampling bias of who you frequent and
B: confirmation bias of who you notice

I live in America where this will never be a problem

dont worry they're miserable inside and hate themselves. being quirky and receiving positive attention form online fuckbois is all they get

go to the gym everyday user and take steroids and feel subconscious about your height, facial hair, abs, and hairline so you can date a strong independent woman who embraces her body and doesn't adhere to sexist societal expectations of the female body

>only 5 guys look realy jacked.
5%ers confirmed

This desu. Seeing another fit person out in public is so rare. Always surrounded by fatties when I get groceries.

actually the oposite. feels good to not be jacked like every other dumbass walking around.

also feels good to not have hipster tats, a nazi youth haircut and raybans with a beard.

feels good not being a trend hopping little faggot desu

>smaller legs
>not smaller muscles
Spotted the T-rex

This is just blatantly not true. Spoken like a true DYEL.

I live in LA where everyone is supposed to be thin and pretty...

Bunch a DYEL fatties everywhere, I tell you.

Except for gay communities. Fags are pretty jacked.

you probably live in the pleb minority part of LA

>go to gym

>you are one of the few people not on steroids

such is the natty life

I feel like this sometimes because I live in a college town. When I travel outside of it, I see it is not the norm.

Brah, I know you're half way through college brah and think you have everything figured out, but nah brah.

I didn't run a scientific sampling on what I see, I'd be writing this for peer review if I did and I certainly wouldn't be posting that on Veeky Forums. Your premise is flawed because you are simply assuming biases, as you made many other assumptions that are incorrect. If you had bothered to read the thread, you would see that I am not even American, so your numbers about American population statistics are not specifically relevant.

Just hop on

nah, my goal body isnt bulky anyway

besides I like a good challenge, I want to see how far I can go naturally

Top Kek

everybody's into crossfitting or powerlifting here
good chunk of people walk around in gymshark or nike gym shit 24/7. don't get me started on how many ppl have tripods filming themselves at them trying to cash in on that IG/YT money

I wouldn't mind it but everybody full on narcissist mode and takes this shit too serious. Now I just take my small gains and hang out at art galleries and concerts.
Atleast at those shows me and the security guards are the biggest ppl in the venue

deffo

Unless you live in Place likes Rio de Janeiro,Portland,Sydney (mostly are beach cities for obvious reasons) or some other "gym culture city" you have nothing to worry about.

And if you live in one of those cities you got a Lot of fit girls surplus.

my tip: just don't give a fuck and do your thing.

Not really.

I workout because its fun and meditative.

Its good that fewer people are fatasses.

The guy on the right looks trashy as fuck and the guy on the left is weirdly proportioned.

Too lanky for how much muscle he has.

>The top 10% of men have 90% of the women.

Patently false.

Get off the internet and talk to a real human being for fucks sake.

>there is no point in improving yourself cause everybody else does so as well
betamax as fuck better just kill yourself

as far as sex goes it's true.

the attractive and semi-attractive women share the same men.

get off the internet. you have lose sight of reality

Yeah more people work out now. But there are still just as many fat people. If not being 'special' because of lifting anymore makes you want to stop then fucking stop because you're a faggot.

Fuck reading this thread pissed me off. Veeky Forums could not be more DYEL and insecure if it tried.

>attractive women go after attractive men

wow, incredible, it's disgusting how humans are the only animals to do this, right? it's not like it's instinctual for women to go after the most attractive men they can find, right?

fuck off

>le steroid makes you bulky meme
>le pushing my natty potential meme
kill yourself

This so much

Jesus you're an idiot.

Get off RoK and r9k.

90% of all women do not share the same 10% of men.

90% of all attractive women do not share the same 10% of men.

That's a lie which you readily believe because it feeds into your underlying sexual insecurities and allows you to feel more control over your own life and destiny because you believe you're privy to information hidden from the vast majority of the population when in fact you've garnered this information from sketchy "pickup artists" or alternatively women hating basement dwelling misanthropes both of whom have a tenuous grasp on reality and a strong bias towards cherrypicked facts and stories that fit their prefabricated narrative.

tl;dr you're an idiot. Turn off your computer. Go outside.

>wow
>right?
>right?

Seriously fuck off back to rebdit, I'm not even kidding. Stupid cunt.

This.

Beta faggots who are currently typing out a reply telling this user he's wrong should stop and promptly kill themselves.

>im not even kidding
fuck better do what this cunt says he has a reddit picture saved. pls no bully

I was outside earlier today. Going back outside in an hour or two after I finish with dinner. Stop projecting.

that sounds like something a redditor trying to fit in would say

you sound upset, friend, what's wrong? did mommy overcook your tendies?

if you get your motivation from being an edgy hipster with an obscure hobby than fuck u anyway because that's dumb as shit

>the patronizing "mature adult" comment

It's like you redditors aren't even trying

>stop projecting

Literally nothing in my post could even remotely be construed as projecting.

Next you're going to tell me to stop strawmanning.

Just stop it with the rhetorical terms that you pretend to understand.

You're an idiot.

You don't know what you're talking about.

It's fun to see neckbeards trying to parody other neckbeards, without thinking they are neckbeards themselves, and failing at it because they are awkward neckbeards

>i'll just call him reddit again, that will show him lmao xDDDDDD

>strawmanning
>rhetorical terms

go back to tumblr you ugly fat piece of shit. might as well give up on that weight loss, god knows your whiny attitude will never get you anywhere. go eat some more chocolate cake, quit your crying.

this is what happens when you "lift" for other people.

ITT: overweight and out of shape liberal faggots who are mad that young, wealthy aesthetic conservatives are fucking 90% of the desirable women

I notice there are a lot of people who say this. Who do they think they're fooling?

If anyone was wondering, this is what a narcissism complex sounds like.

Don't get all angsty and insecure on us because you couldn't resist, bb.

this comment is hilarious because I literally don't even know what RoK stands for yet you clearly do. And I've only been on r9k maybe once or twice since first coming to Veeky Forums in 2009. you clearly know more about the r9k board culture than I do.
