Genetics ain't fair!

[Dominus]

If you don't know, I'm a fitness freak. I work out all the time. A little on the muscular side. I try to eat healthy all the time.

My physique doesn't look anywhere near as good as my bf. He's got great pecs. 6 packs. Great beach body. He also never works out ever. Like ever ever. And he never watches what he eats. He loves burgers and pizza.

Earlier today, I took him to the gym with me. He had trouble even doing 80 pounds dead lift.

And again, he never works out. Ever. And he has much better looking physique than I do.

This isn't the first guy I date that's like this. Pretty much half the guys I've dated in the past were like this. Never works out. Never have to watch what they eat. And somehow still got great beach bodies.

So, the next time you see a guy with good physique, it's not always dedication to the gym. Sometimes, they just hit the jackpot with the genetic lottery.

You make a good point.

Sometimes we see a "gym rat" and look down on him for his shallowness and lack of a life, but it's just genetics, so he only resembles the meatheads.

And you are 40.

But yeah...some of us are genetic pudges...I got all the Dutch Burgher genes in the family while my sis got all the rail thinness of my paternal end of the gene pool.

And you are 40.

Did you have to remind me?

The sooner one accepts that fact that "life ain't fair" the better off they will be.
We must reject the Barbie and Ken syndrome and realize that we all have attributes that are important.
Someone has to have the smallest dick in the locker room...

I'm so jealous of your BF!

When I was attending college in 1984 a group of friends joined me in the campus library for a study session. Among this group was a new guy, with the biggest muscles I'd ever seen. We needed to move several tables together for our study area, so I grabbed a table and moved it with little effort, maybe 30 lbs.

To everyone's amazement, the muscle guy couldn't move a table without help! He even broke a sweat from the exertion.

There's actually a way to gain muscle without gaining any real strength. The point is to look good. It was actually really popular in the 70s. I forget what it's called. I remember learning about it back when.
