Bigger is Dumber?

[Master X]

What is it with buff people and stupidity? Most buff people get buff and then talk about fighting and say things like ill beat your ass if you mess with me?

The guys that say the strong will survive are also the guys that can’t read a map. Also the skinny guys are usually the smarter people that don’t trash talk and if they do then it looks like they are bashing themselves. Does anyone know what this is about?

What happened to being big because you like to and being big because you need the extra strength and wont brag about beating people up? Which is a sick thing to do by the way.

Someone's a pissy skinny guy.

My fiance is 5' 10", almost 200 lbs., muscled, and he's brilliant. Speaks Latin, amazing musician, and is just traditionally gorgeous, you know, the blond and tanned sort. Mm.

Honestly, I find a lot of really smart people are also really attractive:

Oscar Wilde was a beautiful man.

Marilyn Monroe was said to be highly intelligent.

My Slamhot Boy is brilliant and amazingly sexy.

I'm considered traditionally attractive in some ways: I'm blue-eyed, tall, slim, have proportionally large breasts, but I'm damn smart.

The truth is though, assuming the outside package represents what's inside is dangerous at worst and silly at best.

Those are probably guys with low self-esteem that started bodybuilding to get some better self-esteem. Seems like it didn't work.

YES ! That is exactly what they are and that is **** on a fence if you ask me.

Is this a puzzle? You're not a buffed dumb person, or you wouldn't be complaining about big dumb people; you're not a skinny smart person, or you wouldn't be trash talking (by your definition).

Are you a medium-sized person who feels powerless and intimidated because of other people's behavior?

If so, you're in a really good position. If you assume 100% responsibility for the way you feel, and stop throwing away all your power by telling yourself that others can "make" you feel anything, or that they are wrong and "should" be some other way, you are in a position to be the person you most want to be. Reading between the lines, I think you want to be powerful and intelligent. So, BE those things (or whatever you really want to be) and give up blaming and complaining about others. Blaming and complaining are neither powerful nor intelligent.

So, Master X, what are you willing to give up, and what are you willing to take on, if it means living a life you love?

Actually Angela I was just testing you guys to make sure that this really is personal development for SMART people and it appears that you have passed the test

I am in real life a medium sized person that wants to be what you described so that was a great observation thanks for your advice

I think you need to expand your sampling outside of the Gold's Gym.. I deal with a lot of professional, relatively intelligent and motivated people who include exercising and treating their body right as a priority. "buff" is a relative term, but my experience is that after high school, relatively few people are training their bodies to have the capacity to throttle skinny guys.

Hey! Stop calling me names!

The part about skinny people being smart made me laugh. Believe me, it doesn't take any work on my part to be skinny. I think if I could gain about 40 pounds of muscle, it wouldn't mean I was turning dumb, it would mean that I was using my intelligence to its fullest. True, some people have a hard time managing their body fat, but so many people are just skinny because they don't do anything.
