Respect someone who's 'ripped' ?
What an odd question to ask

I respect eloquent people who don't struggle with basic grammar.

Why would I respect anyone for their body? What an odd assumption.

I don't respect people who go to the gym yet wouldn't walk to the shop or carry anything heavier than a handbag.

Obligatory ive a keg, not a six pack comment...

Might be a cliche but I respect people based on their character and their actions.

So Gandhi gets my vote ahead of Mike Tyson.

Every day I get Facebook messages and pictures from several local gyms. They are all pretty much the same. All of the women have well defined shapely bodies. The images imply that if I attend their gym then I too could look like those women in the pictures. But I've seen the female instructors from those gyms in the local shopping centre and without fail they all have an androgynous body shape.

I'd rather keep my curves than pay someone to give me the body shape of a teenage boy. I like my double D's why would I want a flat chest and no butt, like the gym instructors they employ?

Bloody false advertising.

Are you about to tell us about the great gym you go to? Which you have no connection with, whatsoever

I would have assumed most people view bodybuilders as narcissistic people who have nothing better to do than spend all their time in the gym.

We narcissists don't need gyms. We are always perfect.

I asked the trainer to put on more weights.

He said there are no more weights!

Theresalwaysone

In all seriousness though. Fat people are a serious cost to those of proper weight.

Tax the fat people!!!

And someone who trains and has muscle doesn't exactly make them a bodybuilder

bodybuilders do contests/shows big difference :rolleyes:

because it shows they have self disipline.

aren't lazy

love sex

have better mental health than people who don't exercise

look better

Because getting a good body requires dedication and commitment.

Those two traits are worthy of respect in any field of training be they intellectual or physical.

I'd repsect someone to kept kit and looked after themselves, but not people who pumped iron and went in for shows, as I always felt it was a bit vain (perhaps unfairly). Same as those x-factor/x's got talent/voice of... shows.

I did it for a few years back in my early 20s but gave it up because I found it to be mind-numbingly boring after a while. Too many mirrors as well.

By bodybuilder, I meant somebody who trains with the main goal of building muscle.

Because people who are " ripped " or whatever have an overwhelming love of themselves and expect admiration from others and want to be noticed.... Hence the tight t-shirts and fake tan

1 - what goes on in the gym....

2 - Better mental health? Maybe than someone who doesn't exercise but as you said, there is a difference.

3 - Look better? I take that bit about pehaps unfaily being vain back. Looking better is not a positive trait.

I'd also question the "lazy" bit. I know very smart, inteeligent people who work hours on end on various projects, but never go to a gym.

Self discipline or just nothing better to do in their lives?
I'm not too sure about the mental health claim based on personal experiences.
And look better... ah, no. Maybe to themselves, not to me.

I don't see much to respect.
I would treat people who work out pretty much the same as I would other people. I might talk a bit slower when addressing them, but that's about it.


Respect is earned by achieving for everyone, not for yourself.

Being ripped/great shape/built like a tank does not make me respect someone.
