    Its not the labels or the pics themselves, its the fact you didn't look at the chart and say wow 4 of those guys are on drugs.

    Talk about not realistic I would think most of us would call this guy a body builder

    arnold-schwarzenegger-movies__span.jpg

    but when you look at the chart hes not even close to bodybuilder. Not only that but Arnold is on record as having taken a lot of very powerful anabolic steroids.

    I think what is more telling is the fact the op would use that chart and maybe just how little women(or maybe just the op) pay attention to how men look.

    What is most telling is that you missed the other thread for women and don't realize that there is a lack of availability of such charts, thus she worked with what was easily available.

    Lol.

    I think its not OP's issue. Just a very unrealistic top line body image set with the extreme tanned, shaved, (probably at least last 2 medicated) stereotype image. I agree, Arnold doesn't quite "live up to" "bodybuilder" image on that chart...which is absurd, he is the "perfect model bodybuilder"! Chart "Athletic" is really closer to "built" with lower bodyfat, that is no general "athletic" bodytype there, and "built" guys do not have such low body fat and popping veins, thats a "bodybuilder"...I think the whole line needs to be moved to the right there, with "bodybuilder" off the chart in a new category: extreme competition photoshopped bodybuilder...

    The other chart is kind of the other extreme: too many out of shape bodies, no high end of fitness past #5 - athletic, the #4 is close to, but not enough muscle for a "builtfat" guy. No I don't have a better chart, just agreeing no good ones so far.

    "Built" without the popping veins or the tiny bf% of the first chart sort of is my goal, but I very closely resemble "builtfat" on the first chart with a little more love handles and more muscle or #4 with a lot more muscle, hair and lovehandles ...damn you charts for still putting the "fat" on my body type still! :)

    I was under the impression that their caretakers hadn't found a cause.
    It turned out to be mange, though?

    Also, I wouldn't say appealing. I would say that that bear frightens me.

    I wasn't keen on the descriptions on the first chart either, so I won't bother posting a photo. However, I do think that what my mind "sees" is really what I look like. In other words, my self-image is probably the same as my photo-image. On the other hand, I've always thought of myself as smarter than what I am really, just in case people think that my opinion of self-reflection is always perfect.

    I do think that men don't have body issues as much as women, not sure why that is, probably a combination of factors. BTW, does anyone know the difference between #2 and #6 in the naked photo? They look pretty much the same, except age.

    Its not the labels or the pics themselves, its the fact you didn't look at the chart and say wow 4 of those guys are on drugs.

    How do you know what I did or didn't say about them? Do I need to say "hey, there bodies aren't easily or naturally attainable." To a bunch of, I assume, grown men? At what point does "which one do you think you're closest to?" Require a drug PSA? What baring do some unrealistic bodies have on the question, exactly?

    And I acknowledged to people prior to you coming in here to add nothing that I didn't care for the chart but the only other one that came close had lables like 'Auschwitz' and 'Cardio Bunny' with pictures of thin women to imply that doing cardio makes you a woman. I suppose that one would have been less offensive after all?

    If you can find a better chart with as wide an array of body types feel free to provide. I'll have the mods edit it into the OP, but if not then what's the point?


    This, by the way, is why I didn't want to do a male thread. The female one has managed to roll on, even if some people dislike the lables or feel some of the models are photo shopped/unrealistic. They were able to learn and take comfort from it; meanwhile this one is a bunch of 'I don't like this chart' 'these pictures are ridiculous' and 'I won't post because of these labels'. All I can do is apologize to those who asked me for the male version and hope they arent too disappointed in how it turned out

    TIL that men are bad at this. That's probably why we don't have 80 different fruit shapes either.

    Hilarious.

    I can't read though it because I'm at work, and we have a no naked photos policy here.

    The boyfriend is built fat, going for athletic.

    I guess built fat in the other one. I'd like to be a bit leaner with a more athletic look...but I really like beer.

    I don't know about that particular bear, but I have seen photos of other bears with mange.

    Ottermode? I've always been a pretty scrawny guy (170 lbs in this pic), and I've worked very hard to get the muscle that I've put on. I wouldn't mind getting to athletic in a couple years.
