petalbabe: Oh, come on, RD, with the greatest of respect!!
Firstly, he asked for opinions..which he is getting. Honest ones.
Secondly, if anyone is stereotyping, he is doing it to himself..
He is, in all seriousness, a great looking man. But if he wants to be taken seriously, then he needs to tone the physical down a little, dont you think??
But what if he wants to be taken seriously as a body builder ? He is free to portray himself that way and many ladies might like that. I personally agree with you that he would probably receive more attention here if he put a shirt on to supress the initial " book by it's cover" judgments.
He has asked for opinions and these can be given cordially, there is no need for rudeness to get one's point across. And sure isn't very welcoming to for a newbie IMO.

Yes, true, RD..
All I will say is that I make contributions to the profile reviews all the time. I try not to be rude, just objective.

StressFree: You must have put in a lot of hours in the gym and I know you have tremendous discipline, especially with dieting...
Good work man. My best friend used to be a body builder and he now trains them. The sacrifices you guys make is impressive. Do you compete?
My ex competed and just watching what he went through made it look painful/tiring .From the daily supplements to always remember to take from the diet to the actually training itself .It can take years to have a body like so and there's where i give up .Hats off to the man .

Yes, it does take years. I find it remarkable how disciplined they have to be right before a competition. Some days they go really low on carbs and then go in the gym to do an excruciating work-out. Then after the work-out, they can't eat much...just protein and no carbs...wow
I learned some great techniques in the gym from my best friend who trains body builders.
