I’m a pretty skinny guy so it’s not like I have much reason to lift my shirt in front of the mirror at the gym to see how that latest set of crunches is taking effect. But if Scott Herman tells me that flexing in the mirror can be part of your fitness routine, then hell, I’m going to see if anybody notices.

When Scott Herman Shows Off His Abs At the Gym, He’s Technically ‘Working Out’

Just what we need another muscle-roided-narcisstic, monstrous looking arse role model. Next he’ll be telling us his rate for personal training.
edgyguy1426
I guess with Davey Wavey wearing out his welcome, Queerty needs a new whipping boy.
James Davis
@Random Rashes: Random Rashes, you should do some investigation about Scott, he’s hardly the ass you insinuated him to be. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and a very vocal supporter of LGBT rights. So quite frankly he is a wonderful role model for many gay and straight folks.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@James Davis: C’mon you must know the drill by now. There are some BQs who by their very nature must start tossing the hate all over anyone who appears on these threads, especially if they are attractive. Queerty itself today called Ellen DeGenees “America’s biggest brand whore”. How many times does someone post something positive or humorous on these threads and immeidatley the “thumbs down” icon is clicked? Scott is an ally of the Gays, he has never said anything negative about us, has marched in pride parades and lent a hand to no on Prop 8 campaign. Yet every time he is mentioned on a thread the BQs start tossing hate all over him. The rightwing nutbags have a feverish devotion to all their icons no matter how out of touch with any sense of reality or how based on hate their statements are. Some Gays can’t wait to attempt to tear down our allies.
Seems they have not yet figgered out a circular firing squad kind of defeats the purpose………
Mike L.
Exhaled. He’s such a cutie.
Hilarious
He’s actually a great guy who seems to post here sometimes. I didn’t realize myself until after I said something snarky about him. I’m sure he’ll post on this article eventually too and you’ll see for yourself.
He handles himself very well and isn’t an ass or seeking attention. Check out his channel he’s doing something productive rather than just being a talentless whore like 95% of Youtube’s “elite”.
Aaron
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: That’s because some of can see through him and call him out for what he is. Experience tells me that Scott is not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Not by a long shot. It merely flatters his ego to have gay men drooling all over him. Ever notice that every time someone calls someone out and points out the truth, they get a thumbs down? Funny, that 🙂 Every word written here has to be so goddamned politically correct. Heaven forbid should you have to face the reality of narcissistic self-promoters like this guy! Anyone with an opinion different from yours automatically gets a thumbs down. Within minutes, my post will get dozens of thumbs down. Just watch!
Aaron
@Hilarious: Oh, so you’ve met him? Remember than an online persona is quite different from real life.
Aaron
@Mike L.: You don’t get around much, do you?
Damien
I think very little people would want to insult Scott, he is a great ally of the gay community and a good person, it is just that this is a stupid post.
Joe K
I have several guys at my gym who do this. Very straight but very narcissistic
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@Aaron: Of course he desires mens to drool all over him. You don’t think every built guy at any gym isn’t gettin off by knowing other guys are checking him out?? I been going to a gym since I was 15 and once I began to develop half a body, I noticed guys who am pretty sure aren’t members of our team, checking things out. Its just the way guys are wired. Point being not a whole lot of them go out of their way to promote causes for the Gays. The Real World is a great vehicle for Gay acceptance. Lotso teens watch it, they always have at least one Gay on each season. And to have a real well built straight guy totally accepting all things Gay may make some straight guys not so inclined to harrass of bash some out Gay kid……..We have literaly tens of thousands of people who wish nothing but harm on our community.. Why hate on our supporters???
Scott Herman
Thank you for the continuous support and kind comments @PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS. It is because of honest kindhearted people like you that I have the strength to continue to push to accomplish my goal of teaching fitness to the world.
@Aaron. Why don’t you take some time to do some research before you continuously badger me. Jump on the community page. http://www.facebook.com/scotthermanfitness See the community support? People helping people? All the comments I leave.. all the support I offer for FREE? All the people helping EACH OTHER? I have built a super strong and positive environment where people feel comfortable going to no matter what their goal is or how their body’s looks.
If it was so easy, then why isn’t everyone else doing it? Why don’t you also look at the other people teaching fitness on YouTube.. What are their videos like, how many do they post a week? How many comments do they respond to? Also, I don’t care enough to thumbs down the haters… because then I am just wasting time. But I will send a response message to them every now and again because at the end of the day it is MY CHANNEL and there are MILLIONS of different ways to workout. The fitness industry changes ALL THE TIME… So me being wrong? How about just a different way of doing something? and 99% of the people saying I am “WRONG” open their mouth before they even try something new.. or even before they stepped into a gym for the first time.
PS: Obviously this video was meant to be fun and show off a little bit. Stop being so negative and get a sense of humor.
PSS: Unlike you YOU, I am the same person online that I am in real life and I have enough YouTube Time and footage from Real World to prove it.
I know you wouldn’t say half of the things you said here to my face.
So shut it because I will never stop going out of my way to help those in need to teach fitness to the world and I love my gay friends and will take each step of success in my life as another step to be vocal and push for gay rights to fight for my friends and even those who are as ignorant as you.

EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@Scott Herman: Get of this damm site you freaking closeted homo! you are the “straight” version of Davey Wavey. pathetic, narcissistic, vapid, empty-headed. Enough with allegedly straight guys wanting our money and our attention. Go after your chicks, if you have any! Loser.
OhYeah
Is this guy for real!!?! now hes giving us the birdy and he drags in his “Real World” credentials. OMG, this is tooo much, dude, go away!!!
JonathanHasHasIt
This man is sooooooooooooo sad… Will he also grow manboobs like his buddy Davy Wavy Gravy?

@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy:
Jealous much?
Justin Smith
I love Scott Herman for what he does. Stop bashing and criticizing someone you hardly know. Go live your own life, with your own hatred, in your own negative world. We’ll be our usual happy, content hermanites.
TonyD
You cannot tell me that body doesn’t take a hell of a lot of discipline; in addition, six-pack abs are extremely difficulty to get if not hereditary. I tried my ass (or stomach off) in high school and university to get them. Now I’m perfectly content with a physical and cardio routine suitable for me, but Scott’s body is amazing to look at. Wow!
joshua Rawlinson
Dude your obviously just jealous coz your not as hot or as fit is scott! you take it mate your never going to be either! Scott has put his heart and sole into this community and it does him proud. you can either join in and appreciate what he does or back off because if your like that then nobody wants you in his community!!!!!
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
All you delusional self-loathing queens obsessed over bodies. That’s why you support this clown! God, you make me ashamed of being gay. When will you realize that it’s all about the money!!! That deep-down these guys hate us?
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@joshua Rawlinson: his heart and soul? really? and how is that?
Scott Herman
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy Help me to understand how you expect anyone to love you when you are not confident enough to believe that anyone else can?

@Scott Herman: man u sure spend a lot of time checking out gay sites! what a closet case. Dont u have some chick to bang?

I do think it’s not very becoming to come on here and flip the bird Mr. Herman.
edgyguy1426
@Aaron: If your online persona is different from real life, you must a great guy!
Guy Paul Wayne
I like Scott; I like Davey; I like this blog—why do we have to eat our own young? Scott is a friend; and supporter of gay rights and gay causes…so what if he makes money off us or others…he makes his living via fitness…do we have to trash him for being a little self-promoting? Deep-down there are people who hate us, but it’s not Scott…ur running off our friends! GUY
jeb
I think its great that Scott has this hobby that he is developing into a career. He is passionate about sharing with others and provide FREE advice and help on facebook and other forums. His body is not for me. I will never have the ambition to look like that but it does give me motivation to eat right and exercise. I could careless what his motivation is for being gay friendly all I care is that he provides positive support to our community.
OnCloud9
who is Scott Herman?
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@Random Rashes: Well said Rashes, well said. I laugh at those saying “oh he offers free advice, he cares about us, blah blah blah.” Delusional freaks.
lalitha epaarchchi
ok so u guys say tht scott has a different online persona and tht since we havnt known him in real life tht we dnt kwn who he really is.
i can ask u the same thing how many of u guys who insult him knows him personally ,how do u knw tht he has a diff persona.
as a hermanite i idolize scott for what he does for our community and i can tell u tht he has helped me more than any one of u so he deserves my support and loyalty
Scott De Buitléir
Hmmm… I’m not sure who to side with on this one…
While Scott does a lot of good for people who want to become more fit, his reaction to this blog entry definitely doesn’t put him in a good light. Yes, he’s supportive of LGBT people and rights, but when it comes to his fitness videos, what difference does that make? His passion is fitness, not gay people, so his opinions of LGBT rights shouldn’t come into play.
What does come into play, however, is “flipping the bird” on this site, which is hardly a mature reaction. I think I know where @Aaron is coming from (to an extent) and I have a lot of respect for Herman, but his reaction is probably more damaging than the blog entry itself.
TheProfessor
@Scott De Buitléir: My God, a voice of sanity! How refreshing sir…
Elliott Good
After reading all these post its ridiculous that anyone thinks they have the right to bash n hate on people.
Scott is trying to help people, promote fitness to as many people as he can. Why would he put in as much effort that he does to his followers,friends? He wouldnt unless he cared. Take being straight outta the picture why does it matter yeah so what he’s straight you think that makes him unable to be a postive influence in the lbgt community? Because if so that just dumb and also very close minded. what you have to be gay to be able to make an impact, get over yourselves. Im Bi and I have no problem with what Scott is doing because he is helping people.
You want to call into question is character and persona with real life/online. If you havent noticed he spend most of his time infront of a camera recording videos. We get an accurate view of the type of person he is. This guy wouldnt take the time to respond to comments, emails, post on facebook, and youtube,if he didnt wanna make a difference.
Scott Herman is an inspriration to millions and he is inspired to continue to help those who are lookin for it. He will not stop because some people wanna be judgemental. He will not stop because some one wants to bash on him. Scott will not stop because he know what he is doing for be it for gays,lesbians,bisexuals,transgender or straight is the right thing. He goals and aspirations and you better believe he’s gonna reach em. no matter how many haters get in his way.
Sean
@Scott Herman: Scott! just keep doing your thing man! You have given me so many great ideas for working out and you are such a positive role model! Some of these people are a little upset because they havent been able to look down and see their feet for a while! Instead of making negative comments about your vids they should watch them and realize you are sharing valuable information that people pay hundreds for a personal trainer to tell them. It’s like a great magician giving us all his secrets. Scott has my support 100%!
edgyguy1426
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy:
man u sure spend a lot of time checking out gay sites! what a closet case. Dont u have some chick to bang?
Dude don’t you have some parole officer you need to report to?
Damien
I really don’t understand why people like EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy get so angry with Scott. WTF? Really? I’m not a fan of that other youtube guy that does the shirtless videos that I see posted here a lot, but I don’t go watch his videos and then have some sort of mental breakdown on the web. Please redirect all that anger at something a little more productive.
wannabegay2
i like all the “flagged” comments. they are the smartest, but c’mon, when gays see a little muscle they get all crazy and don’t like anyone commenting anything bad about their boy!
here’s the thing: this guy might be cool, but he seems like a major DOUCHE! the same way any guy obsessed with his body at this level is. small penis, frustration, shame, lack of confirmation – all these lead to going to the gym 24/7
adrian
Scott, I wouldn’t worry about some little “queen” making a bitchy comment like that. You’re freaking awesome dude and all the possitive things you do to share your fitness gift with us is just amazing.
Call me a Hermanite because I’m moving to the Hermanation.
Haters Gonna Hate
@Scott Herman, don’t worry, haters will hate. it’s what they do and that’s okay. haters are a key in our society because they push most people to do better instead of sitting at a computer and passing judgement on someone they don’t know.
they do it because of their own shortcomings and insecurities. if they had 1/4 of the drive you have to be successful, they’d be too busy to hate on you.
google “haters gonna hate” and click the image tab to see all the different struts you can do when people hate you. for every hater you have, there’s roughly 100 (or more) of us who appreciate the things you do.
ps. every time I comment on your YT channel or facebook community, you personally respond and I just wanted to say thanks. 🙂
Amy Rogers
I jumped on Scotts Facebook today and came across this. First and foremost who cares if Scott is Gay or not. By being a supporter of any person and their desire to be better is what he supports. Secondly, I am a person who reached out to. Scott for some advice and guidance. He reached back and offered me some great ideas. Oh, let me add I am an over weight woman in my forties who is appreciative that a stranger took the time to give me some tools to suceed. So please get off the gay woe is me crap and just give a guy credit for bettering himself.
Aaron
@Scott Herman: Giving someone the birdy is real mature there, buddy. And it’s also a sign that my comment really got to you just in the way I was hoping it would. I’ve lived twice as long as you have so you are not going to tell me my business. I saw through you and you didn’t like it. You obviously are in great need of validation. Someone who needs his ego constantly flattered is not a sign of self-confidence. Quite the contrary. And nobody likes a show-off. That won’t win you any points. And vanity is not a quality, btw.
I won’t bother going into more details because you are to young and immature to understand. Talk to me again in 10-15 years. By then you will hopefully have understood what I am talking about now.
Aaron
@Amy Rogers: Good god, could you be any more clueless?
Haters Gonna Hate
@Aaron: lol? are you joking or something? I can see right through you and I don’t like it. internet know-it-all who hates someone because of his looks?
as of right now, you look like a bitter old man, complaining about how Scott Herman is immature while you’re sitting in your house (with a gut and little to no muscular definition) making hateful comments over the internet. his goals are clear, his followers are loyal and you’re just making yourself look ignorant.
Scott preaches nothing but positivity and tolerance, even for people like you. what good are you doing with your life?
Aaron
@Haters Gonna Hate: Clueless, ignorant moron 🙂 You did give me a good laugh 🙂
haters gonna hate
@Aaron: You’re right, I am a clueless moron. I apologize. I will now go back to my cage.
Scott Herman
@Scott De Buitléir
Thanks for the posting a neutral comment that didnt really pick a side but saw the faults in both arguments. and yes… maybe “the bird” was a bit immature.
But again, your response was very diplomatic 🙂
Anonymous
@Arron, Obvious troll is obvious
Terry
@Aaron
Whatever Scott is doing to gain respect from the community is obviously working, because through his efforts he has build a great foundation of people working to help each other out. And as for him showing off, I mean why wouldn’t you? If I put as much time and effort as Scott has to develop the body that he has right now, I’d be showing off to everyone. It’s nature, people express they’re accomplishments. So please don’t spoil it for those who have bragging rights, especially those humble like Scott.
Haters Gonna Hate
@haters gonna hate: lol if you’re gonna use my name, at least use it properly.
also, Scott is half your age, yet you’re still talking about him, still calling him names, still trying to put him down…
and he’s HALF YOUR AGE??
hate to say it, pal, but you need to grow up.
Haters Gonna Hate
@Aaron: LIVED TWICE AS LONG AS YOU, SCOTT, BUT I STILL TRIED TO GET A RISE OUT OF YOU. BOY SCOTT, YOU SURE ARE IMMATURE.
jeffree
Yeesh–enough with the hate, folks. Scott must be stirring up jealousy or memories of some jock that was mean to you in school. Give him some credit for being a friend to the gayz, and for teaching people how to be healthier & look better.
Scott’s message includes *acceptance* of the gayz & we’re shovelng cràp on him ?? Makes no sense.
“Self promotion” is not a bad thing. Thats how careers get made. I don’t get paid speaking gigs without shaking a lot of hands & doing lots of free talks. Scott like most of us has gotta pave his own road; no one else will do that for him or us.
@Amy Rogers: Good luck with getting healthier. Thankx 4 stopping by.
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: I think you are often the voice of reason here on the queërts vs the BOQ patrol.
@Sean: You got that right.
@Scott Herman: Thanks for stopping by. You are an inspiration to lots of still trying to make our way in the wild world.
The “finger” was probably a not so great idea, but it’s very artful. Ignore the haters– in any crowd they always try 2 dominate the discussion. Keep up the good work, please….
Amy Rogers
@ Jeffree, thanks. I was sad to read all this angry crap. At the end of the day nothing positive comes from hateful words. No one wins. Oh and for Aaron, I am not clueless I just don’t judge others, I got enough baggage of my own to focus on rather than using positive energy on being mean towards others
Cliff Bouvier
I am ScottHerman’s administrator and videographer for ScottHermanFitness.com as well as a longtime friend…what anyone who questions Scott’s integrity or sincerity in helping people to learn about fitness and nutrition for free, needs to know that, Scott is a man who truly cares about his fan-base as if he were their friend for life! He works harder than anyone I know and together, we film at 10 pm when the gym closes so that there is no distractions when we set up. I am a gay man and Scott has always made my partner Tom and I feel just as natural of our friendship as he does his straight friends! I’ve never heard him say anything derogatory toward any gay person, unless that gay person was a douchebag! I am proud to be part of Scott’s mission and feel blessed to have input and skills I can use in helping him achieve his goal of bringing fitness to the world! I know his family and many of his other friends, including his girlfriend and they all respect him, so where does someone who has never met him, get the nerve to say anything negative about him! To all those who support Scott…be prepared…this type of stuff just gets him motivated. So I am sure he’s already cooking up some new and inspirational ideas!! Have a great day all!
JonathanHasHasIt
@Elliott Good: How, exactly, is he trying to help people? Is he in Haiti aiding in the reconstruction efforts? Is he with the US troops in Afghanistan? Is he with Dan Choi asking for equality? Has he done videos requesting President Obama and the Congress to repeal “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”? And I can go on and on. No, the guy is harmless, and his videos are someone’s cup of tea. Fine. Accept them for what they are. More YouTube day to day little clips of people trying to do their schtick and stand out. BUT, please, let’s not go overboard here. At the end of the day, he is another “straight” boy trying to make a buck off the gays who can’t seem to see beyond a nice set of pecs and a pretty face. When he really joins our cause, then I will celebrate. Until then, I think I’ll go back to my wii.
JonathanHasHasIt
@Cliff Bouvier: Scott’s mission? Motivated? Dude, you sound brainwashed.
JonathanHasHasIt
@jeffree: what good work, can you specify?
JonathanHasHasIt
@Terry: HUMBLE? LOLOL, u are delusional. And I love it when people here dare to have dissenting view and all you can do is flag them down, call them haters, tell them to grow up. Blind masses following pretty boys.
nikko
Love you, Scott. You’re a fantastic guy inside out. I’m shocked at some of the ugly haters. Peace, bro. And continued success.
JonathanHasHadIt
@nikko: Shocked? Oh poor baby.
Scott Herman
@jonathanhashadit you are so blinded by your own ignorance and insecurity.
Haters Gonna Hate
@JonathanHasHasIt: there’s a difference between disagreeing and straight up hating. a person can say “yeah, I don’t think he’s doing much help” or “Scott Herman doesn’t do it for me”, but to sit there and pass judgement on his character or personality is hating.
lol since when is there only one way to help people? he’s helping people reach their fitness goals by giving out free fitness information. he has never claimed to help people in any other way.
the bigger question is, are you in haiti? are you trying to help soldiers overseas? are you doing videos requesting equality?
if you are, more power to you. if not, why would you expect someone else to do something you’re not willing to do yourself?
btw, I don’t know why everyone keeps alluding to him being gay. he’s already said a bunch of times that he isn’t. also, I don’t understand why anyone would hate him, considering he’s an ally. I didn’t know there was some sort of checklist that one had to fill out before they were considered an ally. I always thought an ally was one who supported homosexuals and their rights.
JonathanHasHadIt
@Haters Gonna Hate: How much is Scottie paying you to write this crap?
Haters Gonna Hate
@JonathanHasHasIt: by the way, I told Aaron to grow up because he was accusing SH of being immature while he was trying to “get a rise” out of him.
what’s more immature, Scott’s age or being a troll?
this whole thread is lol worthy. just goes to show what the internet isn’t good for.
JonathanHasHadIt
@Scott Herman: For someone who is supposed to be spreading the good news about your achievements, you sure spend an awful lot of time on a gay site. Um, is it not time to work your triceps?
JonathanHasHadIt
@Haters Gonna Hate: yeah, u said it troll.
Haters Gonna Hate
@JonathanHasHadIt: so lemme get this straight. you’re allowed to make comments about his personality, calling him brainless or vapid or whatever it was, but his fans aren’t allowed to say how much they like him?
I always figured gay men would be more tolerant and accepting of people. you guys are doing a good job of proving me wrong.
JonathanHasHadIt
@Haters Gonna Hate: I love it when YOU of all people come here to defend an allegedly straight man, but then rip gays apart. Patheic.
Haters Gonna Hate
@JonathanHasHadIt: what did I say that “ripped gays apart”?
JonathanHasHadIt
You have pounced on every single person here that has a different opinion. If you see my original post, I did not insult the guy, but question what it is that he has achieved that is so great to the gay cause. So please, spare me your sanctimonious bs. Good night to you. Pleasant dreams with Scottie.
Haters Gonna Hate
why wouldn’t he spend time on here? you guys are spending an awful lotta time talking about him..
Jim
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy: Seriously, you sound like a really ugly person. You sound unhappy with your life and bitter…. perhaps jealous? I feel sorry for you. Whether you like Scott or even believe him, why not give him the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I feel he is offering something to so many to take advantage of. By the way, I am curious who your role models are and who gives you inspiration?
Haters Gonna Hate
@JonathanHasHadIt: and if you notice, I didn’t reply to your original post……..
in fact, I only said something to you and Aaron. that’s 2 people out of I don’t know how many because I’m not gonna count. the only reason I said something to Aaron was because he was being a hypocrite.
the only reason I said something to you was because, well.. I mean, you said a lot of things that just didn’t make sense. you act as if being an ally requires a slew of work instead of just support.
you’re right, though, it’s fine for people to disagree. I’m gonna agree to disagree with all the people who were clearly hating on Scott Herman because I try my best not to associate myself with people who hate other people simply because they’re jealous.
of what, I’ll never know. could be they aren’t as motivated, good looking, successful, whatever. all I know is, people on here tend to throw hate at guys who like to work out and are proud of the effort they’ve put into their bodies.
Bubba
This thread is getting really boring. Can we change the subject?
Damien
Don’t worry Scott and Cliff, no one sane is questioning Scott’s sincerity…it’s just your typical troll.
Bubba
can we talk about sex instead?
jeffree
Please FLAG jonathanhashadit’s posts. It (jhhi) obviously has some unresolved psych issue with the subject of the post. It has no place here
Disagreeing with someone is one thing, but spending hours spewing hate indicates a serious problem with it’s logic and sanity.
Responding 2 trolls only encourages
their pathology…. ignore it (jhh) and it will go elsewhere.
Aaron
@Haters Gonna Hate: I sincerely hope you’re either 500 pounds or just joking! Jealous? Of what? Vanity, arrogance and immaturity are nothing to be jealous about! You monumental idiot! And at my age, I don’t do the jealous thing. I outgrew that a long time ago. How old are you, anyway? 20? 25? I hope you’re young because if you’re my age and still write and think in the the way which you have displayed here, like a silly, stupid little teenager, then you have a bigger problem that I thought!
Aaron
@Cliff Bouvier: For free? You’re joking, right? You have to pay to be a member. You have to pay for meal plans, etc., etc. You have to pay for almost everything. So much for “doing it for free”!! And if this doesn’t prove that he is solely trying to make a buck on the back of fat, lonely, miserable gay men, I don’t know what will! And of course you will “plug” him and his website. It’s your job! You get paid to do that! Like I wrote before to another poster here, wait till you’re a bit older and with more life experience and you will (hopefully) see things and people (like Scott) for what they really are.
Bubba
@jeffree: Whoa dude, who are you to be stopping others from commenting? Scary.
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@Aaron: BRAVO.
Aaron
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy: Thanks. Do you remember Scott being so terrified on the Real World? Remember his choice words, “they’re all gonna hit on me”? Remember that? And did you notice how he suddenly became so “gay friendly” once he realized all the money that could be made off of insecure, lonely gay men? You’re absolutely correct in saying that it’s all about the money. But of course, so things will look good and not too obvious, he flatters gay men by claiming he “cares” for them and wants to “help” them and os oh so “gay friendly”. And did you see the incredibly large number of gullible idiots who fell for it? But people like us who se this for what it really is, we get flagged and branded as trolls and haters. The fools!
mikeandrewsdantescove
Scott definitely is looking hot. However, HotMuscleDaddy who was also featured on this site crawls across the gym floor in just a jock strap. Think about the calories burned on that one.

@Aaron: Yeap man, I am with you guys on this. And that is why we have no respect in the straight community, because we do not even respect ourselves first!
Would it not be nice, for a change, to have a gay out and proud certified fitness expert that really wanted to help our community? So what are we left with: that alien creature Davey Wavey or this straight guy milking our pockets. Because, yeah, in case many have not noticed, you have to pay for his “friendly advice”.
Aaron
@joeyB: Exactly, joeyb, exactly! Finally someone else sees this for what it really is. In one way, this Scott kid is no fool. He knows where the money is. He knows most gay men are obsessed with body image so he knows full well he’ll make a bundle out of it. That’s really what this is all about–money! And his hypocrisy about it makes me want to barf! Sure you care, Scott, sure you care…..as long as gay men line your pockets with their money!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@jeffree: TYVM!
@Scott Herman: Thanks also, you have been very supportive to the community. Unfortunately some people who really need to run real quicklike to the life store and purchase one, seem to thrive on tossing hate on an ally of our community. It boggles the mind that there are so many who get a public platform who spew vile hatred towards all things Gay and when someone shows us support they are the target garbage that would fit right in a grammar schoolyard. And those who have issues with your fitness, I am sure they too are very in shape ‘Cause remember round is a shape!
Aaron
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: Good Lord, another dumb one! Young, gullible, blind and stupid! Maybe when you’re just a wee bit older you’ll understand what I was talking about.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@Aaron: So why exactaly does Scott not have a right to make money? He has chosen a field and from the looks of him, is pretty successful in his chosen field. To be sucessful in any endeavor you need a good product and be able to marked said product to consumers who are willing to purchase said product. No one is forcing anyone to purchase his exercise info. There are plenty of businesses that appeal to the Gays and the ownership does zero to further Gay causes such as Scott has. Or how bout the ones who do actual harm to the Gays? Why not cast the hate towards the scumbag who owns Curves? A rabid homophobe who funds anti-Gay orgs:

Aaron
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: How old are you? You do not seem to have yet grasped how the world works. Of course he can make money. It’s the pretense and hypocrisy I have a problem with. His only reason for kissing up, so to speak, to the gay community is because it is a money-making opportunity. It has nothing to do with caring and helping.
Look at it this way : What would sound like if he simply said, “Guys I’m here to make money off your misery, lack of self-esteem, and obsession with looks”. How would that sound? Not very nice, eh? So, instead, he dresses it up real nice with phrases like “I care”, “I want to help you guys” and, of course, “I’m an ally of the gay community”. Don’t you think it looks better and less hypocritical and opportunistic if he kisses up to gay men to make money rather than coming right out and saying it? Yes, it does. See what I mean?
Want to know what pisses me off even more? The fact that people like him are doing their darndest to convince gay men that they have to look like him or similar to him to feel good about themselves. That’s a big load of crap! You can feel perfectly god about yourself just as you are. Try that for a change!
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
@Aaron: If we extrapolate out your thinking,any group or person who markets to the Gay community effforts shold be labeled as “pretense and hypocrisy”? The crusies that cater to the Gays, the resorts?, the tv programs?, the 14″ dildo manufacturers? etc……He has created and is running a business. And along with his running his business he is actually vocally supportive of the Gay community. I don’t know about you, but I go out of my way to support businesses that support us. I drove my friend crazy recently when he need to replace his tires and I insisted he purchase Bridgestone tires. He was like “whats the difference? they are all round”. I explained to him that they are the only company that supports Gay publications by advertising in them……..I cannot understand you hating for doing what thousands of other individuals and businesses are doing, and the vast majority are silent on any kind of support for the Gays and many do actual harm to the commmunity……
Aaron
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: You still don’t get it, do you? It’s all about money! These people don’t give a crap about you and me. They don’t! They’re only in it to make money! Go take a crash course in advertising. Of course Bridgestone will advertise in gay publications. Duh! There’s tons of money to be made there! I really truly hope you’re just pretending to be so incredibly naive and stupid. But if you’re not pretending, you’re in trouble! I feel truly sorry for you.
JonahthanHasHadIt
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: You ask why he doesn’t have a right to make money? Of course he does, but why does it have to be OFF the gays? Now I want to ask you: please specify what concret ACTIONS Scott Herman has done to benefit our community and its issues? (and no, I don’t think pec size is one of them).
TheAwfulTruth
Humm, let’s see, I have some ideas for Scottie he could try as well and prove his noble motives. Piece of cake!
1. why don’t you take your show on the road and teach inner-city kids how to keep in shape, since there is rampant obesity in our country’s schools? Why not videos directed at them? (oh, I forgot, because you like to show your ass a lot, my bad, and they could not afford your membership dues, oops).
2. how about, instead of posing and flexing with your mirror or with Davey Wavey, you instruct people wasting away from AIDS, whether straight or gay, men or women, how to keep in shape and prevent further muscle loss?
3. could you provide a 10 percent discount off your memberships to aid people with HIV groups since funding has been cut off so much?
4. would you join gay groups (HRC, straight-gay alliances, etc.), in our quest for marriage equality and the right to serve openly in the armed forces, and would you release statements about it and march with us?
5. can you explain why on the “Real World” you appeared a slight homophobic, and then changed? maybe an apology and an explanation are in order?
Hummm, I hope that this wouldn’t take much of your busy schedule. Because in the end, that’s what friends do. They give, and stick with us through thick and thin. Correct?
Cheers.
Kristina
So let me make sure I followed all of this…poor Scott is being bashed because he is straight but is also being bashed for supporting gays, and any one who defends him is also being bashed?? Ok you people need a life. YEs I am sitting here reading every comment, because both @Cliff Bouvier and @Scott Herman are friends of mine. I met Scott through Cliff and he has gone out of his way to help me and support me through everything with my workouts, running and figuring out my diet. He answers all of my ridiculous questions and never loses patients. You people really should learn what it is like to support and receive support from others. Your lives must be a very lonely place with no help.
Aaron
@TheAwfulTruth: Excellent post! I couldn’t have said it better!
Aaron
@Kristina: Intelligence is not one of your dominant traits, eh? What several of us have been writing about has completely flown over your head. You are a perfect example of the naive and gullible people who fall for this shit. You are completely unable to see this for what it really is. A money-making opportunity at the expense of naive, gullible gay men with low self-esteem. I almost feel sorry for you. Re-read what the poster by the name of The Awful Truth wrote just above. He nailed it!

Out of all the people posting, I wonder who puts any effort into their physical and mental well being; you don’t have to go to the gym 6 days a week, but it would help to say “No thank you” to a bucket of chicken and get away from the computer once and a while. =P

@TheAwfulTruth: .Scott Herman Heads To The GLAAD Awards Tuesday, 20 April 2010 23:48 Written by Scott Herman 0 Comments This weekend I had the opportunity to attend the 21st Annual GLAAD (The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) awards. I was there with some of my cast mates from “The Real World: Brooklyn” because we were nominated to win an award for an “Outstanding Reality Program”. One of our roommates was the first transgender to appear on the Real World and she helped to bring awareness about what it is like to be transgendered and provided a place by developing a website with The LGBT Center in NYC for others to go to who have nowhere to turn for information.
I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first time attending GLAAD, but it felt right being there. Since the show I have become an active member in the LGBT community as a straight ally fighting for the rights of my friends. I met a lot of great people and heard some stories that really put me beside myself.
The most inspiring/emotionally upsetting was the story of Elke Kennedy and her son Sean. Her son was murdered a few years back simply because he was gay. A man punched him so hard in the face that his brain disconnected from its stem in his skull killing him 17 hours later. I applaud Mrs. Kennedy because it is through strong people such as her being able to tell their heart breaking stories over and over again that people are going to finally wake up. You could feel the tension in the room as she spoke. I know every single person wishes they could have been there to stop it because that is how I felt. I don’t have any kids so I don’t know what it is like to bury a son; but if you read this Mrs. Kennedy, I commend you for your bravery.
At first it was my hope to leave with an award. We didn’t win, but what I left with was so much more. I am very thankful for this opportunity and I will continue to do what I can do raise awareness about equality and support my friends

Also, maybe you should rewatch the season. Scott NEVER came off as homophobic. In fact, he was the one defending Katelynn as soon as everyone started getting into her business.

Anyone notice how OBSSESSED the Scott Herman haters are? Wow, I dislike Lady Gaga so I dont buy her music, but I have MORE important things to do (like fight for rights of LG couples to adopt, to get college students to register to vote and then actually vote!…).
Why would I spend my time trolling the Gaga fansites writing dozens of look alike posts to trash her unless I had a personal grudge ??
Aaron
@edgyguy1426: You’re here too so you are in no position to say anything.
Aaron
@edgyguy1426: You still miss the point. He’s not doing this because he cares. And he’s not doing this to build a fan base either. He’s doing this to build a clientele. And did you ever wonder why a “straight” guy is so obsessed with all things gay? Btw, attending the GLAAD awards means nothing. Let him do some of the things the poster by the name of The Awful Truth suggested. Let him do those things sincerely and without any publicity and money-making. Then, maybe, juste maybe, I’ll be impressed. Until then, what he does is all for show.
God, don’t you know anything about how things work, how the world works? Do you know anything about showbiz? About publicity? It really is all for show. It’s all about appearances. And he is no different. He was a compllete unknown before doing that “reality” show. He needed something to jump-start his “career”. Gullible gay men with low self-esteem were the perfect niche and were/are willing to pay for his “friendly advice”. See where I’m getting at? There’s nothing wrong with making money. We all have to earn a living. It’s the hypocrisy I have a problem with. You are incredibly naive and stupid if you think he cares. And it is actually quite common for some of his cronies to come here and plant stories of his supposed “support” for the gay community. Publicity, my friend, publicity. All about apearances.
Ask yourself this. Why doesn’t he do his whole schtick with straights? Oh sure, he has some straight clients. But the large part of his clientele are gay. Why is that? Two reasons. 1-He knows gay men are suckers for a young muscle kid. That will flatter his frail ego. This, in turn, leads us to number 2-Money! He is making a huge bundle off the backs of insecure gay men with low self-esteem who are convinced they need to look somewhat like him to feel good about themselves. Ever studied psychology? Ever studied advertising? Ever studied marketing?
I don’t expect you to understand any of this. From what you have displayed here so far, I doubt whether you can understand much of anything. Ask yourself another question. If he were average looking or less, if he didn’t kiss up to gay men so much, would you still fall for his thing? Didn’t think so. And you are lying if you say yes. Look everywhere. Magazines, tv, billboards. A very large portion of products, ideas, etc., are pushed onto the general public by physically attractive people. Beauty sells. Surely you can understand that. Look in any magazine and see for yourself. Now tell me again that you would still come under his spell if he were average looking or less and with a so-so body.
Aaron
@Don: Yes, he was “defending” her. It is called manipulation. Or rather emotional manipulation. Goddam, you people are stupid. But then again, it should be expected from losers who watch “reality” tv. You couldn’t pay me to watch that crap!
declanto
@Aaron: Age is no guarantor of wisdom, wisdom is not neccesarily linke to intelligence. From one old fairy to another, silence is golden. Your hate-spew has reached critical mass. At your age, you need your rest, now. Have you taken your medication? Nitey-nite, dear…
Aaron
@declanto: Another clueless idiot! And his when is pointing out a few facts “hate-spew”? Your stupidity is astounding! If anyone should be on meds, dearie, that would be you 🙂 I don’t take any meds. Don’t need them. Besides, that crap is highly addictive and can really screw up your brain chemistry. They dumb you down. I can see such effects on you already.
declanto
How astute of you! Practically clairvoyant even! is this your sectret? Some superpower to see through all the misty distances that separate us and perceive my “true” character at a glanse?! maybe we’ve all stumbled onto a superhero that comes to the rescue of all us poor opressed homos so in need of your insight and OLD wisdom! How exciting to be in on the thought processes of total strangers at infinite speed and unerring accuracy! Please, share more of your SUPERWHATEVER with us poor misguided mortals! we’re so in need of (yawn)enlightenment!
Aaron
@declanto: Yep, you’re off your meds alright 🙂 Keep going, though, because you’re only making yourself look more ridiculous. You offer no insight, no opinion, no nothing about the subject at hand. And yes, there are people smarter than you out there. From what you have written so far, that wouldn’t be very hard to accomplish. And for someone who says he’s in my age group, you write like a silly little teenager.
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@edgyguy1426: Please, that is pure PR bullshit from the GAY producer of a reality TV show. What did you expect, that he was going to go AGAINST gays?
declanto
I didn’t suffer from arrested development at the age of 9, either. i see how quickly you’ve taken my little snarky remark about meds to your own use. I also see how you’ve obsessed with this thread for HOURS!!! withstanding any reasoned opinion other than your own. I also see you are the type who will always resort to name-calling, belittlement, denigrating terms with anybody who differs from you. Yes, I am an ancient faggot queer who has learned to adjust to my time. I am still alive in 2010 and my lessons of survival tell me that generosity is a survival trait. Dear Aaron, please be generous and give an apparent friend the benifit of doubt. Scott Herman SEEMS to be a decent guy. What’s the problem, again?
TheAwfulTruth
@Don: Well, now isn’t that a GREAT video! Because he is hawking his channel, and instead of talking about WHAT the LBGT Center DOES, he mentions that he has a card and, oh, by the way, subscribe to MY channel. And to top it all off? He takes off his shirt at the end, cause of course, sex sells and us gays that’s all we can think about? This only give more credence to what Aaron has been posting here. So your feeble attempt at defending Herman backfired. Because NOWHERE in the video does he say “if you’re HIV”, for example, you will get a discount. No, this is an appalling example of self-serving promotion.
And in regards to “The Real World”, he DID say that all the gays would be hitting on him. So what do you call that?
Take off your blinders sir.
Jones
@declanto: What I find terribly sad here is that so many gay men, myself included, are reading these comments both in favor and against, spending all this time bickering over a straight guy, and yet, so many other issues explored here on Queerty that really affect us only get a handful of comments. Now that says something about where our priorities are.
declanto
@Jones: You’re right, of course. And defending an apparent friend should be a priority.
Jones
@declanto: Declanto, the word “apparent” here is key. Plus, I don’t think Herman needs an army of gays to come to his defense, or does he? I think we should worry more about our own people. He’ll be fine.
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@jeffree: Umm, and have you notice how DESPERATE his defenders are? Like you?
EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy
@Aaron: Aaron, you’re right again. If Herman looked like Danny DeVito, how many gays here would be rising to his defense? ZERO.
Aaron
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy: Correct again, my friend. Absolutely zero!
declanto
@EnoughisEnoughwiththeHipocrisy: Or bothering to verbally mug him for that matter. How you can percieve him as “the enemy” is really perplexing. Seriously, I have nothing personal at stake in this debate, but I see how it has degenerated into a rant that has no end. If exploiting gays were a serious offence to us we’d have never invented the gay bar. Or a gay website, for what that’s worth. If he’s giving value for the gay dollars he’s apparently rolling in, who are we to desparage him? God Bless America, we have such trivial conceits to quarrel over.
Aaron
@declanto: There’s a huge difference between what he does and what gay establishments do. A little thing called hypocrisy! This is what I have a problem with. I’ve been saying it all along. At least gay bars and gay strip clubs who empty your pockets are blatantly putting it all out in your face, literally. You know what you’re going to get when you walk into one of those places. No pretense there. You go in there, dance, get hustled, etc. Unless you’re a complete idiot, you know what you’re going to get and you know you’ll have to pay for it. But this guy, please! Hypocrisy thy name is Scott Herman!

Bless You All, It’s T.G.I.F. and I’m outa here for whiskey sours and laughs! ENJOY!!!

@Aaron. Scotty’s a good guy. I am neither male, nor gay, nor interested in how solid Scott’s abs are. However, the kid lives and breaths fitness. He offers fitness advice to people who need it, posts FREE fitness videos all the time, and supports the gay community. Despite your idea that he is targeting or somehow scamming the gay population, he isn’t. He is trying to build a business, and building a business requires that he have a marketable product. Fitness is marketable. Do you think gyms give you free fitness advice? How about personal trainers? Scott will answer basic questions for people, but anything further requires a fee. Just like a gym membership, personal trainer, or dietician would cost you. What is so wrong with what he is doing? Is it because he is supportive of the gay community? To gain your approval would he have to come and personally train each gay fan for free? So he makes money doing what he’s good at…that’s life. But he does CARE about his clients and fan base, which is far more than a lot of businesses can say. In a world where there are SO many hateful people, Scott is a guy who truly accepts everyone. It’s not a facade. He works hard. How many 20-something, attractive young men have you come across that spend their entire days working. The kid doesn’t drink or party ever. He’s a genuinely nice person. And yes I know this first hand. My comments about him are not based off of his internet personality like yours is. His product is marketable to straights, gays, men, women, etc. Gay men just happen to find him hotter than the average fitness expert. The guys confident, so what? Welcome to the fitness industry! Feel free to call me stupid, ignorant, or whatever other names you insist on. Scott is a young, intelligent kid with a bright future. I am certain that when he reaches your advanced age of maturity and wisdom that he won’t be spending his days on queerty.com insulting people for their opinions or hard work!
Aaron
@Lizzay: Girl, you are so full of shit, it’s not even funny! And how do you know this first hand? Let me guess. You work for him and he pays you the write these nice little blurbs about him” You ussed to weigh 400 pounds and he helped you to get rid of your blubber? You’re his ex? You’re his sister? Mother? Aunt? Niece? Please, bitch, give it up! Youère just as phony as he is!
Lizzay
None of the above. I am 5’8″ and I weigh 125 pounds FYI. On the other hand, I would love to hear about how great your figure is, since you insist on insulting EVERYONE! You know NOTHING about me, therefore your opinion means nothing. I’m pretty sure I said nothing that should have been construed as offensive to anyone, yet you still feel the need to insult me. And really, I’m sure Scottys not offended either…you’re just giving him publicity by all these posts. So post away! And insult me more, please. You’re just making yourself appear miserable, defensive and insecure. And me…well I’m just laughing at the fact that you are sooo hateful to someone you know nothing about!
Aaron
@Lizzay: Well, one thing is for sure. You must have a pretty miserable and lonely existence if, as a straight woman, you bother to log on to a gay website, read, and reply to posts. Seriously, why bother? What’s in it for you? And do tell how you know this first hand? Prove it. Till then, you are, as I wrote, full of shit! And the fact that you came back to check for replies tells more about you than me. There are tons of other websites that you can go to root for him. Why come here specifically? Answer that!
And since you asked, I am 50, 5’10”, 165, very few wrinkles, no hair loss or gray hair, and in excellent shape. Genetics are on my side. My mother is 75 and often passes for my sister.
But do tell how you know about everything you wrote “first hand”. This is the internet, girl, anyone can pretend to know things first hand.
Aaron
@Lizzay: Let’s look at this a little closer, shall we? By saying, in your own words, “none of the above”, you are acknowledging that you are not his ex, you are not related to him, you do not work for him, he did not help you lose weight and get back into shape. So how can you know all of what you wrote “first hand” if you have no ties to him in any way, shape or form? I’ll tell you how. You are lying, girl. You are flat out lying! You made up everything you wrote! Your story is so full of holes, it’s ridiculous! Give it up!

Passer quelques minutes par jour ici n’est vraiment pas indicatif d’une obsession donc tu va chercher ça un peu loin. Niaiseux!

@Aaron: Bilingual vituperative!
jeffree
@Aaron: Quelles gaffes!
–“tout” goes before “savoir” [very common error]
–“comme exemple,” actually “par” is preferable
–“tu est” dude, you can do better than that!
–“mal jeune” –whaaaaaat?
–is he “épais” or merely an idiot?
–“c’est mes affaires” ok we’ll let you slide on that one, but it’s pretty much a disaster
–“tu va”? My six year old nephew just ran circles around you on that mess! He also cannot pronounce the word “ceux” so I’m thinking speech therapy may be in order!
Anyway, you just outscored about 99% of Americans on your French, so if you get to Indiana, I’ll buy you “un demi” unless I escape from here first!
Aaron
@jeffree: Ok, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. And french is obviously not your first language. If you had any brains, you would know that french is spoken and written in many different ways depending on where you are from. And yes, grammar, spelling, syntax, etc. will all vary from place to place. Whether it is right or wrong or mis-spelled or whatever is not the issue. That’s the way it is, period!
I think if anyone looks like an idiot, that would be you! There is nothing wrong with my french because that’s exactly the way it is spoken where I come from. Just like english is spoken in numerous different ways depending on where you are from. So your pathetic attempt to make me out as the idiot has failed disastrously! You write like a narrow-minded idiot who has never been out of his own backyard. If this is the best you can do, I have no worries at all.
Let’s look at this again :
-“tout” can go before or after “savoir”. Depends on where you are from.
-“comme” or “par” exemple can both be used. Both are accepted.
-There is nothing wrong with “tu est”. Commonly and widely used by all. Whether it is proper or not again depends where you are from.
-“pas mal jeune” — Dude, where are YOU from???
-“épais” is commonly used where I’m from. And yes, a person can be both an idiot and épais.
-“c’est mes affaires” is in no way a disaster. It is frequently used where I’m from.
-“tu va” again, nothing wrong there. Learn to get around more and you’ll see. But I’m assuming by your comment about your 6 year old nephew that he actually reads what you write here? Isn’t he a little young to be logging on to gay websites? Creepy!
Basically, your nit-picking, pathetic attempt has failed. Languages are written and spoken in many different ways. There are many different dialects, expressions, etc. which are proper to certain areas. This has obviously escaped your narrow little mind. I don’t know what you attempted to prove with your message but it has failed big time. Your obvious lack of knowledge of the french language and all it’s variations make you look like a fool, not me. Good luck in life, you’ll need it!
Tessie Tura
Okay, queens – as much as I might be turned on by Richard Karn (the guy who played Al on “Home Improvement”), I don’t think it would do me much good to have HIM as a personal trainer.
Scott Herman has promoted himself as a fitness model, trainer, e-advice columnist, and quite frankly, his bod shows that he practices what he e-preaches.
I don;t see that his discussion of his own body and what we can do to look like him is any worse than say, a master pianist giving advice on how to interpret Chopin. Or an opera singer giving us tips on how to approach an exposed high note.
It is obvious that he possesses a certain – shall we say, talent.
And no one can deny that he has been an ally to the gay community – he has also guested on gay podcasts (Feast of Fun, for example) as well.
Aaron
@Tessie Tura: Being an “ally” to the gay community is somewhat diminished, almost nullified, when it is done for blatant self-promotion purposes. Any “straight” guy who fancies himself an “ally” has an agenda. And it ain’t gay rights! Anyone who has been around the block will tell you the same thing. He’s not the first and certainly not the last.
There have been many “flavors of the month” in the past. Remember “straight” guy David Rich? He posed for Playgirl and used that fame to peddle his exercise routine and diet, much like this Herman dude is doing. Even had his own line of undies. And where is he now? Oh sure, he’s still hanging around. But try and find someone who even remembers who he was? Good luck with that!
The same thing will happen to this Herman guy. A couple of years from now, nobody will even remember who he was. Bet on it!The gay community being so fickle, he’ll quickly fade. So enjoy him while he lasts! He’ll soon be replaced, just like all the ones before him. That’s the way of things. Oh, btw, guesting on Feast of Fools isn’t exactly way up there. In other words, big deal.

@Lizzay: I STILL don’t know what it is that Scott Herman does for the gay community. Can someone be specific?
Scott Herman
@Aaron… at the end of the day it comes to this. Leading by example… for instance… you hope by putting me down repeatedly that others will do so thus increasing the size of your ego.
I follow the same philosophy however instead of increasing the size of my ego, I am increasing the number of people who will now look at the gay community in a different way because they look up to me as a leader.
I am not going to sit here and list all the things I have in store for my involvement in putting an end to the continual assault that goes on in the gay community. In fact I am going to spend less time at my computer and JUST DO IT..
So.. go ahead.. write a book about how much of a pompas ass douche piece of shit I am… because I’m not going to be sticking around to read it. I am going to be out getting involved in more events and organizations to help fight for gay equality; even if it means that someone as hateful as you will benefit from it because that’s what it means to be a leader.
I hope you one day find happiness in your life @Aaron, then maybe you won’t be so quick to judge those who really do want to make a difference.

@Scott Herman: Bullshit! As others have pointed out, the only thing you clearly care about, as evidenced by yourself, is self-promotion.
Copy & paste from another poster here :
“Well, now isn’t that a GREAT video! Because he is hawking his channel, and instead of talking about WHAT the LBGT Center DOES, he mentions that he has a card and, oh, by the way, subscribe to MY channel. And to top it all off? He takes off his shirt at the end, cause of course, sex sells and us gays that’s all we can think about? This only give more credence to what Aaron has been posting here. So your feeble attempt at defending Herman backfired. Because NOWHERE in the video does he say “if you’re HIV”, for example, you will get a discount. No, this is an appalling example of self-serving promotion.
And in regards to “The Real World”, he DID say that all the gays would be hitting on him. So what do you call that?
Take off your blinders sir.”
So, Scott, don’t come tell me and others that you care and that you “lead by example”. Answer me this. What’s in it for you? You claim to be “straight” but are involved up to your neck in all things gay. What’s in it for you, I wonder? Will you surprise us by coming out of the closet?
Give it up, buster. The only thing you care about is promoting yourself and giving your fragile ego a boost. And yes your ego is fragile and needs a boost. The fact that, in your own words, you need people to look up to you, proves it. You are a hypocrite and a manipulator. Case closed!
P.S. : Seen a couple of pics of you. Your chest is already falling. Looks a bit flabby already, at age 25. Better work on that, kiddo, or else you’ll develop some serious moobs by the time your 35 or 40.

Hi, Aaron. You should really watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tOCXPYeyLo&feature=related. Start at 13:14, and you’ll understand Scott’s inspiring desire to help the gay community. Hopefully, it’ll change your mind about him. If so, go back and watch the entire video. He really is a good guy (and you’ll see why he reacts so strongly to bullying…). Peace and love.

haters gonna hate…yeah people trot that one out a lot when confronted with the unpalatable truth, things they would rather not hear.
Unfortunately not everything in this world is good, some things are far from it, and when that something is potentially dangerous to others who don’t have either the knowledge or experience to be able to tell the difference, it is the moral duty of those that do to intervene, and at the very least offer a sane alternative.
Mr Herman’s shotgon approach and poor exercise form with regards to fitness/muscular development is not only counter productive but downright dangerous.
Unfortunately people don’t seem to be aware of this, and take it on faith that because his bf% is relatively low and he has a modicum of development in some muscle groups that he knows of what he speaks.
But it’s the same tired old stuff you’ll find in the likes of mens fitness, flex and muscle and fitness, six days a week training, 15-20 sets a body part with ‘cardio’ thrown in for good measure.
This nonsense started in the 1970’s when steroid use took hold and mitigated extended training sessions for those daft enough to experiment with them.
What the public didn’t realise at the time is a person training naturally simply can’t recover from these kinds of training excesses and the hand full that could tolerate it couldn’t do so for very long.
the trend of volume training continued..you have to fill a magazine with something right..that deadline come round each month and you have to put something in the mags between all the adds, it doesn’t have to make any sense as long as it sells.
Hermans has a vast number of on-line video’s carrying on the time honoured tradition of quantity over quality set by the above named magazines.
The truth is the form he displays in his videos is atrocious, he’s lifting weight rather then contracting muscles against resistance, he might be more tolerant to injury then most because if others try to emulate this type of poor bio mechanics and fast exercise cadence there’s gonna be a lot of injury’s.
And while even a very poor exercise routine will work to some degree in the early stages it wont give very good results and will stop pretty quickly…which is why Hermans physique is stuck at the level of lean schoolboy.
He talks about ‘tearing apart muscle’ in the gym to make it grow, and the way he says it make you think he actually believes this is what hapens…I’m afraid that isn’t the way it works he’s suggesting a wound healing analogy, bit more complex then that I’m afraid, to many this gives out the wrong message and could easily be misunderstood to an even greater degree then Mr hermen misunderstands it..
I could go on and on about the numerous error, inaccuracy’s and general gym dogma that he litters his video with, suffice to say I wouldn’t let him clean the toilets in my gym.

I must say I am three years behind in regards to this post, however I felt I need to chime in and add my two cents.
I have watched Scott on the “Real World Brooklyn” and at one point I did subscribe to his youtube channel, but later unsubscribed. Fitness is and has always been a major part of my life, and I have a very strong sense of self, so I have no need to “hate” on anyone. I am being totally honest when I say I think Scott Herman is as fraudulent as they come. He strikes me as a very self absorbed, narcissistic individual, who is looking for attention. When I would view his fitness videos I started to notice whenever a subscriber would have a difference of opinion with Scott in the comments section he would really go back and forth with them like a middle school student, which I found to be really juvenile. Why not take the high road and ignore them like any professional would.
There are some people who are going to like Scott and there are some who will not, but due to the fact he is attractive and has a nice body his followers will deem any negative comments as “hating”. The fact that this man is supposedly straight, yet visits gay blogs frequently and even takes the time to get in to flame wars with posters strikes me as very odd and questionable. I personally think the attention Scott get’s from gay men boosts his ego which Im sure was damaged during his adolescent years due to the bullying. I think he decided to pursue a career in fitness because that is all he knows, and like acting and modeling it will allow him to be seen and acquire attention. I see so many “straight” men like Scott in the gay community, but rather than work on our own self esteem we would rather idolize someone who only views us as a quick buck. There is a slight possibility that I am wrong about Scott Herman and his agenda, but at the end of the day this is my opinion and just like everyone else who has commented on this post I have the right to have one.
