    If you became more aggressive it's simply because you were an ar$ehole throwing your weight around cos you were bigger and stronger than before.

    Saw an interesting program where they gave athletes steroids to see what would happen. They got stronger of course, but the expected 'roid rage didn't appear. If anything, they got more suggestible. The ones who got most agressive where the ones who thought they were on the steroids, but were actually getting a placebo.

    Bit harsh. The op said how they felt and asked if anyone else felt the same. Don't see the fail to be honest and from a respected poster like yourself.

    I bet the same 'aggressive alpha male' atitude rears its ugly head when your drinking!! Yeah, it's your **** personality mate, not the weight.
