yeah, and I'm not even halfway there
t. ex-skeleton
No.
Yes people move for me when I'm walking down the sidewalk now. Before I was completely ignored.
Yes. I've experienced 3 stages.
Fat: being fat defines how people see you (first impressions especially) and treat you, negatively.
Average: You are not fat nor fit, and your physical appearance doesn't define how people treat you in a significant way.
/Fit/: Being fit defines how people treat you (first impressions especially) in a positive way. Girls smile at you instead of looking away. Surprisingly biggest change is with men. Dudes take you more seriously and treat you like an equal. Ask you advice (about lifting mostly, but still) and want to spend time with you, instead of just letting you drag along.

Getting huge normally gets you a lot of respect with the guys. Girls don't care as much unless you have a nice face.

I started as a spooky skeleton and no one would take anything I said seriously. People often simply ignored me when in group conversations and if standing in a group id slowly be pushed out of the circle so it's more like I'm standing next to a group than being part of it. Now I'm 185 lbs and people treat me based more on what I do and say personality has become far more important and if people like me or not is now based on my words than how i look I'm looking forward to getting big so people will just like me without having to put in so much effort.

The most I've ever been called "sir" or "mister", I had a big moustache. No lie, felt pretty gud.
And not some fuccboi bush tickler, a real Stalin.
Yeah. Quite.
I have always been very fit my entire life, that is, low body fat, defined, but by no means big at all. (did very cardio heavy sports all growing up, all year round very avidly). so my baseline of how people treat me is just that. not particularly special in any kind of way, just general regularness' if you will. im handsome, never had a problem having a cute girlfriend,
but during my second year in uni, i was just like 'fuck it, maybe il go see what the gym is all about,' keep in mind i had never -lifted- in the real kinda way.
3 years later - pretty big, not in the thicc manbeast kinda way that fitizens take to mean big. but as close to aesthetic as a natty can pretty much possibly get.
people treat me way different.
-When the group of friends is deciding on something, my opinion is looked to first, and given the highest priority, and not necessarily because of the opinion itself, but simply who it is coming from.
-it is way easier to convince people of things
-things that i do or say that might normally make someone mad, or irritated, or annoyed, just dont
-people are more inclined to do favors for me
-i get the sense respect from people, even without really doing or saying anything that might make me deserve their respect
-people agree with me much more frequently and easily
-if i correct someone on something (not necissarily on lifting or nutrition or whatever, but on some general thing) they take the correction happily and gratefully, whereas if it came from someone else, they might not take kindly to it
there are probably more things, but these are the main ones that come immediately to mind
when I was skinny my girlfriends who were close would make fun of me being a fucking idiot.
now that i'm even remotely buff they call me even worse names. but I've fucked two of them who were for sure no go prior to my gains. so idgaf about them calling me stupid.

Just LOL if you aren't Young Stalin
Fuck yes.
Men respect me and talk "up" to me rather than talk down to me.
Women are much more submissive around me.
This might be more a result of my confidence gains than the physique, but I dunno.

Yes. I act Driver-esque(quiet, don't speak much when I do etc.), they're cautious at first but friendly after we've been introduced. People also love unloading their problems on me for some reason.
