Each Friday we’ll try and bring you the perfect meme to distract you — if for just a moment — to get you through that end-of-week homestretch.
This week’s LOL comes courtesy of the seasons changing and the best-laid gym plans having fallen hopelessly by the wayside.
Any truth to it?

Have a body and go to the fucking beach if you feel like it.

HA!
once upon a twink i cared. not so much anymore. enjoy your body, whatever its shape, but if you’re truly hoping to get a Certain Buffed Look – be real about it, and understand that what you see in others is not always, or often, merely the result of “diet and hard work”
a truly appalling article made the rounds in toronto last year right before pride, about getting your “pride body” ready, and how “important it is to look good” – the imbecilic writer went on to tout how he helped get his boyfriend into shape…but he left something very important out. in fact, the most important thing ABOUT he and his boyfriend’s bodies: steroid use.
yes. he got his boyfriend on steroids so he could be buffed up to a degree that he’d deem him acceptable to date.
and yet….no mention of their steroid use in the article on “workout tips”? that’s all kinds of B.S.
if you used roids to get your damn body, be honest about it. don’t pretend you just hit the gym and consume lots of lean protein. you have full body acne. you smell bad. you have facial and neck bloating. you look like a steroid user because you’re a steroid user. and don’t get pissy when people call it out.
enjoy the body you have. and try socializing with people who care about your mind and personality and not how you look together in a circle on a beach.

Beach body? I’m slim and healthy and that’s all that matters. Steroid use and bodybuilding is not (check out what happens to bodybuilders later in life).

@GC1985: indeed. and it’s not always “later in life”, either.
a former boyfriend of mine had a heart attack last summer. at age 33. from years of steroid use. that’s the price he paid for wanting to fit in and be accepted by a social circle of other Steroid Users. a heart attack at age 33.

Even Queerty’s favorite Davey Wavey had an article on this a few years ago:

It’s good to exercise and be fit. But when it is done excessively it’s dangerous… and with steroid use it doubles the dangers.

I find one of these guys attractive – and Im pretty sure he’d still be good looking if he didn’t spend all his time at the gym. For me, it’s not worth the trade off after a certain point. It’s great to be fit, but if you’re whole life is about getting the look you need to get some sort of validation from some part of the gay community… it just doesn’t seem to be the most meaningful way to spend time.
