Why do people think really high testosterone is a good thing?

[Desserter4]

It comes with all sorts of adverse side effects, just like low testosterone.

I don't know his whole back story but old school guys always used to tell me that getting the muscle is easy, maintaining it is hard and the easier it comes the easier it goes and that's why weightless in the way to go.

I always kinda assumed he was doing some form of steroids around the time he was doing fear factor

[NathanDavis]

stupid people don't really think about things...

[Abbycado]

Bragging rights? I don’t know if that’s a guy thing or not. Just a guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[NicholasofAustralia]

There are other bragging rights in life 🧬😉

Having high T is so much more beneficial to a man’s life than low T. It’s not a good thing. It’s an amazing thing. I messed around with hormones a lot during my early and mid twenties when I was bodybuilding and have seen both sides.

[Desserter4]

I wasn't comparing low T to high T, I'm saying average to high average T levels are most optimal

[ammar12343]

Nah man High T is amazing lol. It optimizes everything in your life. It becomes a disadvantage when you cannot control it.

[Desserter4]

Nah man, you're factually wrong. It makes you hormonal, age quicker, bald, hair all over body, hungry all the time, horny all the time, angry, higher stress, heart problems, blood clots, etc

[ammar12343]

DHT is a whole other conversation. I can find so much literature that disagrees with what you’re saying though. Cardiovascular issues are present and real with with TRT and androgenic steroids, but there’s really no added notable risk at naturally high levels. Also, what’s considered average these days? Last I saw was 300ng/dl which is LOW.

[ammar12343]

Hungry and horny all the time isn’t a bad thing at all.

[Desserter4]

Everything I'm saying is backed up if you just look at a prison lmao

[ammar12343]

There was a scatter plot that shows testosterone to IQ which made me laugh. Negatively correlated although I didn’t actually see the study behind it lol. I think having high t is such a life hack if you can manage it correctly. I want to be hungry, horny, and get stressed about accomplishments and forward momentum. Sounds like a nice life.

[Desserter4]

Heart disease, lower iq, less empathy, poor impulse control, anger, balding, aging, yeah, sounds great

[ammar12343]

You’re mixing up naturally high testosterone with abnormally high or synthetic levels which are two completely different things. Every one of those side effects you listed comes from steroid abuse or hormonal disorders, not from a guy who has naturally high T. The actual research on men with high natural testosterone shows the opposite.. lower cardiovascular risk, better mood regulation, and longer lifespan. I can’t link anything here but if you actually want to talk statistics and studies message me.

[Desserter4]

No I'm not and why would the two be different? Tgis all just sounds like cope

[WonderingManII]

I think normal T is the best for you all the way around.

[Anonymous]

You sound like my wife complaining about my high levels of testosterone

[Desserter4]

Is that why you're anonymous, cause of high testosterone?

[Opinion Owner]

No because I dont want to not be anon when talking about how my wife complains about the large amount of fluids I ejaculate and how im always on her.

[ammar12343]

😂😂

[exitseven]

they just want to get jacked.

[Desserter4]

I see them attribute good looks, virtue, stoicism, being a good person, etc to it

[exitseven]

I knew a guy from the gym that used steroids. One night I watched him put his fist through the windshield of his brother's Firebird. He was crazy.

[Anonymous]

I never thought that.
