    How fucking big did this dudes arms get in one year? I’m calling bullshit.

    If this is actually real I would suggest using interpersonal relationship skills and ask these hordes of women to stop touching your biceps yourself. Given that anon is a green texter, he may be lacking in this department.

      Lol I’m not saying this is definitely real, but it’s completely plausible that an otherwise socially competent person freezes up when someone grabs them wantonly and unwantedly. And I fully believe that someone who would do that in the first place would also not stop when they’re told no.

        You’re both skipping over consent; if the genders were reversed, would you consider it normal for men to touch women however they want until they’re told to stop?

          I responded to the person above me implying that OP should end the grabbing with interpersonal skills alone. Obviously no one should be grabbed without consent in the first place.

        Yes and we should also require chaperones on dates as well. No sex out of wedlock either.

        Dude got his bicep grabbed and went to HR instead of telling the person. This is beyond stupid.

          Should a woman “just tell everyone she doesn’t like it” if random people start grabbing her?

            First of all, unless this dude works at a strip club, I very highly doubt random coworkers are coming up and grabbing his biceps.

            I would buy this story more if it was a single female who continued to do this, but this just doesn’t add up.

            Secondly, if a woman’s biceps were being grabbed by a man, I’d have no idea what the fuck was going on.

            This story is fake as shit and ya’ll are treating it like it’s a case study.

              No, we just treat it at face value, knowing little of the real situation.

              And reality is, men ARE abused and harrassed by women, and it’s much harder for them to speak out about it. Which makes it even more important not to distrust these stories straight from the start - they get their dose of distrust and victimblaming everywhere else.

          You’re assuming that they didn’t tell that person to not touch them. They didn’t mention it, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

          There’s not enough information from the OP to have reasonable knowledge of the events to say either way.

      It is on 4chan, so there’s an approximately 99% chance it’s completely made up, and the poster can barely lift his keyboard.

      This really depends. I have seen people go from meh muscle build to pretty damn jacked after a year of hard work, and as much gear as they could find.
