But all of you would marry Christian Bale. LOL
No, I wouldn't...Also I wouldn't date anyone that uses or has used steroids.

I like how people say they are so dangerous and unhealthy, next time a new medicine commercial comes on TV actually pay attention to the side effects at the end, someone then are pretty scarey.... yet our kids grow up watching this, they don't think anything of it.
True to a small extent but control group analysis is extremely dificult to complete with steroids as the (a)-testosterone levels can vary greatly ( 4 times at the higher end) so counter-parting hormones are almost never in a similar concentration, thus causing a varying difference per person in the unwanted effects they receive.0 -
Have you seen "Natural" Body Builders? They look fabulous! I would much rather see a man who does natural body building than that unnatural, vein popping, ..... eugh... gross. XP

I assure you that the FDA is the biggest enemy we have. I refer to 99% of medications as nothing but bandaids that the government gets rich off of. Let's treat a headache with medication that will cause high blood pressure that we will treat with blood pressure medication that will cause....you get the pattern here. If medical professionals would use more logic we would find the CAUSE of the headache and treat that instead of the symptoms. While there is a time and place where medication is necessary, I will forever believe that anything made in a lab is by far worse for you than anything you can grow naturally.
I've never pushed milk on my children for calcium, instead I push broccoli.
So...while I do believe steroids can be dangerous and unhealthy, I also think medications are! It all goes into the same category in my world and I teach it to my children as well. Just an FYI.0 -
The comments regarding steroid use are interesting. I wonder how many of these people feel about dating somebody that has a couple drinks a week, smokes regularly, or maybe even smokes Pot. Are steroids really worse or are they different because our country has made them illegal? Despite the fact they can be safely cycled much of that information never comes out. People that abuse steroids are obviously putting their body at great risk but isn't that the same as abusing anything else? What about men that are on Testosterone Replacement Therapy? Their effectively taking steroids and maybe even estrogen blockers. Is that bad too?

I actually think he looks great and have serious respect for anyone with that level of dedication to their craft or sport. I think he looks way better than this guy:
Yes, I know guys who juice still have to work hard at it, but I just think the natural bodybuilders look better.0 -
I'm attracted to lean skinny guys and thankfully they don't need steroids for that.
My bf is 6'2" 148lbs. That should give you an idea of how skinny he is.0 -

I don't think either of them are attractive nor would I ever even look twice at someone like that in terms of wanting to get to know them or date them. I couldn't get turned on by rubbing someone and feeling mass amounts of veins. Sorry guys lol!0 -
Never used roids. Never had any desire. Never wanted to mess up my body trying to change, transform or develop it. No hard work, no dedication, no point.

Not quite based on the actual question (I answered that earlier) but it's in relation to steroids so I thought I'd mention here:
A family member of a friend used to work out at the same gym as my bf and I. She was very "anti-lifting" as she didn't want to build huge man muscles, and would warn me about that on a few occasions
One time, this woman got a chest infection and got prescribed steroids from her doctor to help build herself up again to health. She refused, and I remember her mentioning it to me in the gym before, along the lines of "I'm not taking steroids!" etc etc It made me think WTF?? They're completely different to anabolics!0 -
too much muscle is a turn off for me so... no.
And if you need to "short cut" into things, like using steroids, then you aren't my kinda guy, or the kind that can keep a relationship together.0 -

Haha this made me laugh , people have a hard time believing me when I tell them cholesterol is a type of steroid.0 -

I actually think some of the natty bodybuilders are really goodlooking guys. Most of them are pretty proportional also, which is very nice.

We also have a few on MFP who look great too.

Women might find muscles attractive, I find broad shoulders & a thick neck a great turn on but very few women find aggression & loss of control attractive. Roid rage is not sexy. It is not a turn on. So I would not date or even socialise with someone who took steroids, equally if he is happy to "cheat" at getting fit or even more important at sport I would not trust him.
Vain men are not attractive & men who are so vain they would be willing to be impotent, violent & suffer osteoporosis in later life are not for me. Give me a nice builder/ truck driver/ biker who is strong and fit naturally any day!0 -

Good to know. Sorry for the bad pic, but I think the point I was making still stands. I prefer the natural bodybuilder look to the juiced look.0 -
More pics please. Idc if Manu is natty or not, he's worked his *kitten* off for his body.
