Anecdotal observation of course. Only just started lifting weights and I have possessed the often termed 'noob gains' and already I'm being hit with the don't get to muscly schlock. I've noticed friends make the same complaints and it is often noted in fitness boards.

So what is the deal. A little muscle and suddenly the fear of you becoming that bodybuilding guy kicks in?

This is a fun thread of course, I'm not actually complaining.

They want to feel they can still give you a good paddling when you need it.

 

[bjork]

They don't want you to be hotter than dad. There's a lot of weirdo porn out there, you know.

 

[Currygan]

so it's too much or just a little ? I don't understand

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Just tell her, 'mum, I'm a 35 year old man, I can do what I want. And stay out of my room.'

 

[TimeEffect]

my mom wants me to be fat

I think it's a third world upbringing thing.

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Because she doesn't fall for your tinder lies.

6ft my ass.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Wants you to keep that dough boy look..

 

[Kozak]

Put on a little muscle, then you start putting on more cause you like that little you have and want more.

Now you're that guy who schedules his life around the gym.

It'll be hard for him to be hotter than a dad bod

Muscles are a sign of power, which is basically sex. Moms don't want that.

Grow those goddamn muscles, fellas.

Tell your mom to stop being a beta

 

[Kusagari]

No mother wants a meathead.

 

[John Kowalski]

moms feel very strongly about their kids being attractive, they're probably just asserting that they don't think their sons are pretty

you are ugly basicaly

 

[see5harp]

What's the deal with incest porn. There are actually a few porn stars that I think look like my sister and I can't even climax to that shit.

 

[- J - D -]

How old are you? Maybe your mom's taste in men coincide with the era in which she was at peak sexual thirst. And that just reflects how she views modern women still perceive attractiveness of men.

In the 70's, a lot of men were lanky.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Also, anyone who warns you not to put on too much muscle doesn't fucking have any. Muscle takes work. You don't slip and fall into a puddle of mass.

Increased testosterone makes people do crazy shit
See NFL, MMA, etc

zyzz looks disgusting according to my mom

Better than than all the weird CEI videos and shit on the sites nowadays. Like I want to see some guy's dick in a plastic lock with a lady talking shit about how little it is or whatever.

 

[Lizard with a ladder]

You'll hear the same comment from wives and GFs. It's a comment based on ignorance. It takes years of dedication to build up enough mass to a point where the women saying this will find you unattractive. Most men that hit up the gym to bulk up will never get that big.

Next time you hear that just nod your head and smile.

 

[riotous]

Mom's comment on how their children look in general; it's probably entirely anecdotal that you've noticed a pervelance of comments about not having too much muscle.

The people whose Mom's tell them their muscles are hot probably are curled up in the fetal position in the shower and not commenting on the Misc.

Which porn stars are these?

 

[triplestation]

zyzz looks disgusting according to my mom

zyzz and scooby are memes

they look like action figures and thats why the non muscle crowd think its extreme

 

[Pizoxuat]

Could be worried about you developing body dysphoria and constantly chasing after a larger physique.

 

[FZZ]

You're her baby boy

Of course she doesn't want you looking like some jacked up muscle head

Yeah.

Most women would agree. The bodybuilder look isn't that preferred.

Athletic bodies tend to score higher in female desirability surveys. So think MMA fighter or swimmer.

That said you should pursue your physique goals for yourself not for others.

 

[moggio]

Probably just don't want their son to look like a walking haemorrhoid.

Ima go with this.

Gonna take decades of training plus tons of drugs for that to happen.

Most are incredibly ignorant about what weight training can do to the natural trainee.

I've read this doujin before.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Whats your moms opinion about this?

 

[highrider]

It's not like people accidentally get buffed out overnight lol.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Moms are tough.

 

[Tathanen]

Mothers see their children as their babies. A big muscle-man is about as far opposite as you can get from a baby. She wants you to be her child forever.

 

[Omega]

Just tell her, 'mum, I'm a 35 year old man, I can do what I want. And stay out of my room.'

lmao

[PlayALLtheGames]

You're British, right? Culturally I don't think the Brits are really into that. Sounds like you belong in 'Murica, son.

There are somethings that should not be learnt...

I do love America. hmm...

This post pretty much nails it.

He really nails Moms.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Women prefer dad bods

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Man, this thing has baffled me since I heard it for the first out of like hundreds of times by people IRL. Like Arnold just picked up a barbell one day, and three months later, he had his Atlas figure.

These people have no respect for just how much work, dedication, consistency, and drive goes into bodybuilding. It takes years of hard work to even look appreciably bulky with a shirt on.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Just tell her, 'mum, I'm a 35 year old man, I can do what I want. And stay out of my room.'

:lol: avatar quote

they probably think you will stop growing taller and will become a short stack of muscles

 

[barik]

They probably just don't want you to become a roided-up asshole.

 

[Duracelllll]

She doesn't want to have to buy and cook you twice the food and your probably being a lot more selective about what you eat now too... bulking up ain't cheap.
