Is it considered down upon to be Fit (Ripped) in public?

[PatientLifter22]

I was thinking this because when I left the Gym today still having my Gym clothes on of course shorts and a Body Building Stringer Tank. I went to the mall to go to GNC (Supplement Store) because I had to restock my supplements because they were becoming low. As I enter and leave the building I get stared at by a lot of people and some glaring at me. I mean really, it's like no one has ever seen an Asian Body Builder before. I just came there to get what I need and leave and people just stare at me and glare. So is it down upon to be Fit in public?

I don't think it has that much to do with th fact that you're Asian. I find that many people tend to look a bit longer at guys, regardless of their race, if they're ripped. Especially if they kinda parade it around, like wearing that new style of tanktops that for whatever reason have arm holes that go really low on the sides.

NOOOoooo
Our ego says people are mirin' our GAINZZZ

@Illusive_Man
lol not to worry, not saying this longer glance isn't accompanied by some mirin'. If you get quite a bit of such glances yourself as I think I remember you frequent the gym quite often, the ladies especially are just trying to capture your gainz at every angle as quickly as possible. :P

whaaat

I thought people looked down on that.
Especially now it's like 16C

[kaylaS91]

looked down on what? being ripped & parading it around in that ridiculously douchey new style of tanktops for guys

yeah, when I see a guy at the gym in one of those, I'm not gonna look at him in a positive light. If you're ripped but don't feel the need to prance around showing it off, we'll notice and most will like it.
It's all about finding the balance.

Men with ripped & shredded bodies = HAF anywhere dude.

Fyi, I used to date an Asian cage fighter + an Asian body builder :P
You guys ARE sadly rare though :P

Just put a jacket on.

People ain't mirin' , they just notice you because you're out of place where everyone else is dressed for daily activities lol

It'll be like if she's walking around lol

I do that, I walk in Chipotle sometimes after and all eyes on the tall guy in the stringer lol.

by the way, GNC is a waste of money

If your gym kit that you wore is the same as the stuff in your profile pic I can see why you got that reaction.
