and an obese/scrawny lazy unhealthy person does??

And if they've spent their time learning new skills, such as additional languages, or spent time in creative pursuits - would that be equally worth of respect from you? Or would you just have made assumptions.

No, because I respect people for what they say and do, not how they look. I know an obese guy who is an absolute genius. Unbelievable intelligence and interest in and knowledge of an incredible range of topics. I respect that a lot more than I'll respect some popcorn brain who works out every day.

know what they want and get it

aren't lazy

love sex

have better mental health than people who don't exercise

are more confident

etc

there are other ways to be confident then exercising and just because u dont work out dosnt mean ur lazy also most people love sex, there are many ways to have self discipline other then working out studying for example.....really your whole post is nonsense and your username is far to close to geordie shore for me ot habe any respect for you

Jesus, you're a condescending ass.

I've met a person recently who is obese, yet is dedicating every free minute she has in programs to help youngsters struggling in elementary schools.
She is trying her utmost to help them catch up with the rest of the class, to give them a fair chance.
She sometimes has to pay for the material for her classes out of her own pocket, as some of those kids have parents who don't really see the value in being able to read and write properly.

And the OP here asks (in all seriousness, apparently) if I would respect people less if they didn't "go gym".

I'm sorry, but I am being quite polite considering how I currently feel about the OP.

OP based on your posts so far you appear to epitomise every thing I dislike and don't respect in a human being. Respect is earned by being a decent human being, your attitude reminds me a lot of Lance Armstrong "I'm perfect and it's everyone else's fault". I don't think I need to tell you how little respect I have for that gym going individual.

What makes you think people that are ripped/well built don't have good careers or a impressive education???

Alot of them are more successful than lazy slobs

Shehshen have some respect. The OP works out

Kev_2012 · 28-02-2013 03:28PM

I train a lot and get annoyed with people who say they can't lose weight despite the fact that they won't exercise but I'd respect an intelligent friendly fat person a lot more than those Tallafornia wannabe shapers that frequent most gyms.

So you'll respect intellectual achievements, but not physical ones?

What if your friend lost weight and got ripped, would you not have respect for what he achieved through dedication and hard work?

Or would you decide he's now a popcorn brained idiot?

Your post wasn't about the OP, it was a blanket generalisation of anyone who lifts weights.

what makes you think people in great shape aren't successful?? :rolleyes:

infact the majority of people that train consistenly i bet are alot better off than the people that don't

lukesmom · 28-02-2013 03:28PM

No I'd be more likely to respect somebody who has a sense of humour than go to the gym. Hate the bulked up, tanned sensation that is around at the moment. State of it. Now if someone goes to the gym but doesn't come out looking like the incredible hunk but just toned and strong that is more admirable. Or a skinny guy deserves respect too. I know a lot of hot skinnier guys that haven't hopped on the steroid wagon.

They may well be and I would respect them. But for thta reason, not because of the uy.

Define "more succesful". Getting more sex?

educated,finacially secure,fit,more positive attitude on life

OP. Just wondering, why are you not in the gym pumping iron ? You clearly have some free time.

Get off the internet, its only for fat slobs, you need to be in the gym! not on here exercising your potato....

EDIT: brain, not potato. (but potato in frequent shallow gym users cases)

Prove it Gerald.

Your hypothesis has been disproven by your continuous trashing of the English language and inability to spell.

what makes u think that anyone who dosnt go to the gym shouldn't be respected, you are making fairly stupid generalizations perhaps people cant find time to go to the gym or cannot afford it or dont particularly want to be surrounded with people like u.
also what about people who train at home? do they earn your respect or do they actually have to be a member of a gym, because while i do weights at home i dont like the gym....its full of heavy things and sweaty people and terrible terrible music!!

Trolls are indeed very muscular

you don't need steroids to have mass and be defined..shows what you know

so someone that trains hard,has mass,is well built eats a clean diet is automatically classed as someone who has no sense of humour??

god the envy is high in this one

But he wouldn't be a popcorn brained idiot, he'd still be a genius, just fitter. And I respect plenty of physical achievements, but 'getting ripped' for its own sake isn't one of them to be honest.

When muscle heads workout the body releases a hormone( I think ) called seretonin. It's basically a feel good hormone. So they feel great bout themselves, especially in a tight t-shirt! and almost put themselves above non muscle heads so they think they need respect for this

Do you respect people who don't go gym
