Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

    A lot of people don’t realize how much of a lifestyle change and commitment it takes to even begin to look kind of like a bodybuilder. A lot of genuinely smart people think going to the gym twice a week would give them more muscle than they know what to do with. Yeah it’s stupid, but it’s a common misconception.

    Edit: here’s a post I found about it: https://www.girlsgonestrong.com/blog/articles/big-and-bulky/ it’s about women, who worry about this a lot more than men, but I’ll bet a lot of it applies to both genders.
