Girls, don't you sometimes think that muscular guys want to compensate for a hang-up?

You certainly know that short guys often try to compensate with a sports car or dominant behavior or muscles.
I had two guys in my gym class when I was still in high school :

One was maybe only 5'5 or something and thought the world himself because he could beat anybody of us when it came to badmino.

The other one was like 5'9 and I had overheard the girls saying that his muscles won't help him get a girlfriend - he was very conceited in my opinion and had huge eye brows. He also used to be overweight.

Have you observed this kind of behavior too before? Do you agree with me

There's muscular like fit and too muscular.

I know 2 guys who did heavy lifting and were really huge. They have the a common thing: they were not in the average "guy height" kinda smaller.

One of them learned to live with it and today just work out to be fit and healthy. I think over the years he also realised his dreams. Worked hard to get his dream job, and money..

The other still trying to make it. He's not happy in his life and his behavior about his body is clearly about compensating.

I saw that the same pattern could go in another friend of mine. So I told him bluntly: you can work out but dont overdo it dont turn into those kinda guys, you're enough. I think he listened to me.

I find insecure people tiresome. Yes, sometimes men compensate for one attribute with another equally annoying trait, but sometimes they are legitimately trying to improves themselves and their self-esteem. I try my best not to judge anyone, as tiresome as I may find them.

So what if some of them do that? Not all do. That doesn't make muscular men any less attractive. I don't think most do that though. I think most work out because they like to.
