Why do bodybuilders make fun of skinny guys?

Question

And say stuff like "abs on a skinny guy is like big breasts on a fat chick". That is totally different.

Plus lots of girls prefer guys to have a lean look with a medium amount of muscle rather than the bodybuilder look.

I'm telling you, as a chubby guy with health problems right now, I would much rather be skinny ripped than any more bulky.

I have never found this, I have read some body building forums and sometimes they can talk really mean to I muscular guys who say they want to get jacked like Arnold Schwarzenegger

When they have no idea how to work out, eat properly or supplement and have never seriously done any of this before.

But honestly, if you have, look at that. ^^ It's a thing of beauty. If I was jacked like that and had spent my life training and becoming like that then I might become pretty douchey too

Agreed, I'd rather have Bruce Lees physique than Arnold Schwarzeneggers. Not talking about height just muscles. I think an athletic/lean build is the best in terms of functionality, mobility, and aesthetics. Ivery never been insulted by a body builder but I feel like the ones that go around are just bodybuilding to overcompensate for poor facial aesthetics or just confidence issues. I imagine their thought process is like this " if a bench press 400lbs, people will respect me and forget I look like a neanderthal. "

Probably coz they are bullies! but to be fair to them, I attend a gym , and the bodybuilder guys there would never talk like that to anyone. You say you would rather be skinny ripped than bulky, that's your preference, but its not theirs, so there is no reason to feel angry, upset or whatever you feel towards them, they work hard to get the way they are, and should be admired for that.

I think they are insecure. they probably used to be skinny and are afraid of ever losing their muscle so they push themselves and make comments like that to reinforce their ego. a confident muscular guy wouldn't give a fuck about a skinny guy

I like guys who are skinny, there's nothing wrong with that. And besides I think too much muscle on a guy is extremely unattractive.

I've never gone that far. But when you get to a certain point I'm your training and you have excess testosterone pumping, you "feel" like you're better than the guy next to you. In the primal sense. That if it came down to any form of competition that you would beat them.
That's the mindset that you have to keep in check.
Anyways, some guys are already dicks so when they get that feeling they will immediately act on it without thought

They also compliment other bodybuilders cause secretly they are bunch of insecure gaysexuals. They try cover that up by saying 'bruh or brah' and 'no homo' a lot.

Most importantly of all, bodybuilders aren't healthy. They ain't athletes. It's all about 'aesthetics' when in reality they look like a lump of rocky shit.

Because they believe being bigger makes them better, sure some guys prefer to have "aesthetics" but if anyone who makes fun of someone for how they look is bad character. But its true "abs on a skinny guy is like big breasts on a fat chick" there's a big difference between the two. Muscle abs and skinny abs are different.
