Yup. In have a decent face and put a lot of work into being positive, fun etc. Also (was) about 40-50lbs over weight. I never had trouble slaying or a desire to bulk up for anyone, there was no need. Now that I'm married I feel like I want to be healthy so cut a lot but no one to impress but myself.
i’m an attractive bodybuilder, but that’s only because i adopted the habit purely for health’s sake as a means of coping and recovering from childhood trauma, among many other healthy habits I’ve adopted such as yoga, therapy, and power banging
As a conventionally attractive guy '' break it down into the two different reasons men use roids:
For Women: if you are attractive you realize you get all the female attention you need once you start working out. Having a bicep vein, some muscle definition, lean 'swimmers build', etc. will have women throwing themselves at you if tall with a good face. Uggo dudes dont receive that positive feedback and think the issue is they just arent big enough, not that they are ugly, and go on cycles to get massive which obviously doesnt help and at that point it's too late. Getting peak attention from women is possible natty so why roid
For Men: Using steroids comes from a place of insecurity of being around other guys in the gym that are bigger than you simple as. If lifting weights is your sole identity then yes running into your natty limit will be frustrating and eventually you will want to achieve the same linear progress you had when you first started working out. But if you are already better looking than roiders, more successful with women, and likely have more well rounded interests as well then frankly you dont care that they are bigger. Outside of lifting I do other sports where being bigger either wouldnt create an advantage or in some cases like endurance sports even create a disadvantage.
Not saying there arent reasons to roid. If it contributes to you earning a living (pro sports, fitness influencer, etc.) then by all means let it rip
>muh insecurity muh women
Dude maybe I just like grinding for my physique like an mmo, and roids are basically new game +. Its an addiction to making progress it honestly doesnt have to do with external validation
Same, I’m pretty body blind so I can barely even tell the difference as I progress. All i know is i was obese once and now I’m jacked. I just focused on a steady progress as a habit, like brushing your teeth every day for healths sake rather than doing weird things to have super white impressive teeth to pick up chicks
they lift to compensate for not having facial aesthetics
These pretty much.
as much as everyone hates to admit it, bodybuilding is, in most cases, a huge cope.

The cost-ratio of using high doses of steroids gets worse the more attractive your face is.
If you're an actual 3/10, you could hobgoblinmaxx with steroids, making you very attractive to women who like your type.
For attractive guys it is better to twinkmaxx, get as much muscle you can without getting fat or aging your face with steroids.
What’s good brother, how’s your morning going?
im doing good how are you :3
Bodybuilders in the current day are just roidtrannies.

oh my god
At the pro level they're basically proto-incels that read too many comics or watched too much DBZ and decided to model themselves after that.

because modern bodybuilding is for losers
say that to my face and see what happens
You act tough but then go home and abuse yourself?
The practice is mainly driven by deep rooted insecurity.
