This Comment by Charly on the post I Know My Shirt’s Not On. (You Needn’t Keep Reminding Me)
“Your article was well written, and I genuinely felt you had a reasonable gripe about the the way other treat you with regard to your physical being. However, this was all the way until your line that states “… it’s enough to make a bodybuilder go back to being lazy. ” The implication there is, if you’re not bodybuilding, you are lazy. No, you are normal … average … maybe even overweight or obese, but these things don’t necessarily equate to lazy. While pointing out other’s insecurities, don’t forget to acknowledge your own.”

As a guy who’s been pumping iron at a local health club for about five years, I agree with you. I don’t judge other men by their physiques. That’s stupid! It’s none of my business what other men do or don’t do with their bodies. If a guy has the proper sort of self-esteem despite the fact that his physique is less than ideal, I say more power to him!
