The kid may still come around some day, but it's probably going to get worse before it gets better.
I have no idea what it feels like to be a horny teenage boy roiding up to get muscles, but I can say for a fact that messaging girls and having nothing to show but a muscled-up body and roid-induced anger isn't going to work the way he seems to think it will. When I used dating sites, seeing a guy's shirtless, muscled profile pic was always a turn off, if not a red flag in itself. Include the picture if you want, but put it amongst all the other normal pics you might have, because seeing it as a default pic smells of desperation. If that's what you want to put out, don't be surprised when your only responses are from shallow people (if you're lucky) and (if you're unlucky) catfishers that can sense your need for validation from a mile away.
This isn't hating on muscle bros. I'm sure there are plenty of good guys that just like exercise, or who get caught up in the idea that big muscles are what women want to see. But when they get burned by shallow women and/or scammers that just want to use them, it often reinforces misogynist beliefs, making the cycle of manosphere nonsense harder to escape from.
I always felt this way too. Not only did I assume they would nit pick my body, because they seem to want perfection, I couldnt help but imagine they would at some point scare me if they ever got upset with me.
A friend of mine had a 17 year old son who just got broken up with for the first time. My son, was only 5 at the time, but the teen said to me, "make sure you teach him how to handle a breakup, I wasnt expecting any of this". He shortly after tried to tell me the earth is flat, with split screen tiktoks as his reference. So, we know what road he was on. The kid was angry, confused, and hurt. It made me very sad. Ive now opened the conversation with my 13 year old about dating and break ups just recently. Im do my best to prepare him.
The chances you meet your life partner in the first shot is SO low. Everyone gets broken up with at some point, best to be prepared for it.
The gym bros would do a lot better if they focused on full body, rather than gains on certain muscle groups. No girl really wants a guy whose pecs are bigger than her breasts.
No one cares how much you can bench other than other gym bros, it's such a weird exercise to focus on. Why not curl or squat weight? At least some women are into big legs or biceps.
I like the implication that women with big breasts are more willing to date gymbros because they still have bigger breasts than the pec, and that women with small breasts are relegated to dating only scrawny guys. Hilarious mental picture.
Ha! Yes, my husband works out heavy, I am small of bust, and yep he is more stacked than I am.
We think it's funny though and small boobs is his preference, nice for me.
He does say though that if he could go back in time he would tell his younger middle aged self not to bulk, just focus on strength. Having put on the weight, he cannot seem to lose it and now wants to be leaner as he gets older. It's not practical to maintain that much muscle mass, and if you try to ramp down you usually end up fat not smaller.
One of my best friends in college told me basically verbatim what I wrote in my comment. She said that she was glad she was a D cup and on the shorter side because it meant she could date guys who go to the gym and her pool of options was big because of her height.
So I think it might happen more often than you think. Probably not as big of a thing as height differential, but seems to be a thing from my personal experience.
Because that's seen as less manly.
Which is kinda the opposite of ironic, because obviously, manly things are things men like.
Imagine a man's reaction to a breakup would be to get into things women like, like exfoliating, trimming your eyebrows, etc. People would probably be like "He's so much better without her".
So bizarre that people would do that. When I was single and on social media and on dating websites (before smartphones), I did want to show off a bit that I worked out, but I had the discretion to, like, wear a T-shirt or a polo in the right lighting to show that I had strong looking forearms and a hint that there's something pretty solid under that shirt. Actually taking my shirt off would have felt way too desperate, and besides, just isn't something that I'd naturally have a picture of myself in.
Just seems to be a mix of validation-seeking insecurity and confidence in one's own muscles. Seems like a lot to unpack, and that combination probably doesn't really send a message that "becoming intimate with me is going to be a rewarding and fulfilling time."
Pics with a pet cat were always green flags, and pics doing an activity
The most attention I ever got from a pic on an online dating profile was when my main pic was me on a unicycle.
Activities, yes! Shows you have interests/a personality
Better get some better lighting in my basement so I can get good pictures of the empty beer cans at my computer desk.
