How fucking big did this dudes arms get in one year? I’m calling bullshit.

If this is actually real I would suggest using interpersonal relationship skills and ask these hordes of women to stop touching your biceps yourself. Given that anon is a green texter, he may be lacking in this department.

Lol I'm not saying this is definitely real, but it's completely plausible that an otherwise socially competent person freezes up when someone grabs them wantonly and unwantedly. And I fully believe that someone who would do that in the first place would also not stop when they're told no.

[-] nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 27 points 11 months ago

You're both skipping over consent; if the genders were reversed, would you consider it normal for men to touch women however they want until they're told to stop?

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 16 points 11 months ago

I responded to the person above me implying that OP should end the grabbing with interpersonal skills alone. Obviously no one should be grabbed without consent in the first place.

[-] nehal3m@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Paraphrasing the person you responded to: "Don't talk to HR/sue, use your interpersonal skills to stop the problem" You: "Could be that anon is too socially inept to say something"

Your response makes sense in context, all I'm saying is keep your eye on the ball; the actual problem here is consent and so if these hypothetical women are breaking it they should feel the consequences like men would.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

Pretty victim blamey, NGL. Norms should be in place to ask for consent (tacit or explicit) before touching someone else

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago

Yes and we should also require chaperones on dates as well. No sex out of wedlock either.

Dude got his bicep grabbed and went to HR instead of telling the person. This is beyond stupid.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

You're assuming that they didn't tell that person to not touch them. They didn't mention it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

There's not enough information from the OP to have reasonable knowledge of the events to say either way.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

You used a lot of words to say absolutely nothing.

It is on 4chan, so there's an approximately 99% chance it's completely made up, and the poster can barely lift his keyboard.

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's wild how we all forgot ON DAY ONE what the whole point of 4chan was, which was that since there is no barrier to entry, no identity, then you as the viewer are supposed to wonder what's real or not, but always have to assume anything said is false, even if it's tantalizing. It's a game, you're not supposed to take anything seriously there... and yet the place has impacted international politics repeatedly.

Discuss as if real, react as if fake

[-] Turun@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

50/50 chance between normal keyboard and no arm muscles whatsoever and normal arm muscles and the thickest, full metal mechanical keyboard you've ever seen.

My one average coworker got a good routine going between Christmas and Easter and by the time I ran into him in the summer he was a shithouse

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Shithouse? Meaning he let himself go and got fat & flabby again?

[-] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

No as in the phrase "built like a brick shithouse", implying very structurally strong, overbuilt for it's purpose.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

This really depends. I have seen people go from meh muscle build to pretty damn jacked after a year of hard work, and as much gear as they could find.

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The story says more about the offenders than OP's actual body. That question has "but what was she wearing" vibes.

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I wasn't commenting on any of that. Regardless how dude looks, assuming it's real, consent is absolute. Just pointing out that I have seen people get jacked in a year, if the right risks are taken and the hard work is put in.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

If you do it during puberty, there aren't even much in the way of risks. I went from 4'1" tall and 230 lbs, to 5'6" tall and 145 lbs in one year by joining the swim team. Never got jacked, but I can still bench 200 lbs without any real effort or training in my 40s.

Yeah, my growth spurt was painful.
