Does anyone else feel better when other dudes more your gains as opposed to women?
No homo
For example: I'm 6'5" and 2,3,4,6 lifts. I have other guys constantly saying that I'm strong as fuck or "Yeah man you're the last person in the room that I would fuck with. It feels better than "anon you look pretty strong, how much is your bench press? Teeeehheeehehee."
Feels good mostly because I'm extremely competitive with other men but also have very low self image even with gains.
Is this normal
probably the result of dudes admiring and acknowledging the amount of time and effort it took and also the practical benefits
women just admire the aesthetic aspect because they don't care about what it took to get there
