Im 9’2, 700 pounds with 30% body fat. I look like a hexbear. I act like a hexbear. Nobody has ever confused me for anything other than a Hexbear
I don’t identify as cis
So you’re trans then?
Trans people say “We’ve come up with a naming scheme for ourselves in relation to you, it’s trans/cis.”
And the cis person replies “No thank you, I’d rather pretend you don’t exist.”most cis people don’t introspect and come to an understanding about themselves and attach to the category label
in his mind he’s not cis, he’s “normal”.
i’m a white american and i’ve disincorporated those characteristics from my identity but my politics don’t change my skin color or give me a pile of money to renounce citizenship.
I think you will always be those things, but that doesn’t mean you have to support them. American culture will always shape the way you view the world, and having been raised white will always have an impact on how your life goes. There isn’t anything you need to do to be american, it’s more about what happened to you. Gender is a performance, so it is actually something you can choose how to do.
i generally agree but i could definitely be performatively white and performatively yankee, and not just on holidays or in sports stadiums.
“Women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.”
I am a cis man, but there where multiple times where I got misgendered as a woman, despite having a three-day beard. I don’t buy the whole you can always tell.
my bf looks like hafthor body wise and he had a phase where he had long hair and somehow got misgendered because of it
long hair is a life hack for transfems tbh
Don’t these assholes listen to Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band?
Most times you can’t hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés, is it a woman, or a maaaaaaaaaan?
As my gf says, I wanted you because you’re all man. My last gf said the same thing.
This is a bit

It’s great that all of these internet alpha chad dudebros have girlfriends that say exactly what they want women to say to them, and also say things that I have never heard from a women, girlfriend, or platonic friend. Not saying there aren’t women who are like this, but it sure is lucky for them they happened to find exactly the right alpha chad who is “all man.” and yet spend his free time having meltdowns online because someone called him “cis.” Which is apparently super attractive to some variety of woman that I personally have never interacted with.
angrily emphasizing how much of a big strong man you are definitely means you’re very confident in being a man, huh?
the most truly masculine men i’ve ever met never felt the need to be this aggressive about how strong and manly they are.

The flip side is there are plenty of eggs who had an “I’m a manly man who does manly man things” phase.
What’s an egg?
Someone who is trans but hasn’t realized it yet. Usually experiencing some form of internalized transphobia or denial before coming out.
Breaking out of your egg is like the trans version of coming out of the closet to yourself
Okie doke. In NZ, calling someone an egg means something else.
It’s like a lighthearted jibe usually delivered with no malice behind it to mean someone is being silly/ a clown.
yeah we have a similar term in Aus. Calling someone an “egg” is the same. And “good egg” vs “bad egg” is also used

What, you egg? [He stabs him]
How much you bet his porn history includes an obscene amount of gay and trans porn?
I put 99% odds on that so I’ll wager a dollar and you give me 100 if he’s not a chaser
Has anyone in here posted the “I have over 300 confirmed kills” copy pasta yet?
So, if they don’t identify as cisgender then wouldn’t they be trans or nonbinary or yknow, not cis?
“Are you straight or political?”
10% bf
He’s lying, I can already see the dialog tree:
No I haven’t done a DEXA
No I don’t actually work out anymore but I used to do high school wrestling and the coach there told me I was 6% bf and I’m a bit chubbier now so 10% seems right.
What do you mean I’ve been lied to?
As I said I go to the gym, I’m not a cardiobunny.
Why do you want to know how much I squat?
Why do you say that I don’t lift?
Why do you want to know these things I’m a manly man not a soyboy cuck beta like you.
He might be in decent shape but yeah, that 10% body fat is almost certainly nonsense. I’m 6’1 and work hard to be part of the swoletariat around 200 lbs. and probably somewhere close to the 15% bodyfat range if I had guesstimate.
225 at 6’2" and 10% bf is almost literally Arnold fucking Schwarzenegger. He’s either an active competition level bodybuilder juiced to the gills or he’s full of shit.
I knew someone who cared a lot about bf snd got down to 5%.
It did not look healthy. Mostly dehydrated.
It’s definitionally not healthy. I’ve been sub 10% body fat as part of a personal goal/experiment before and it’s pretty fucking awful and totally unsustainable. 10-15% is maintainable for most people and you still have visible definition…but when you’e talking about stage ready bodybuilders or even some more modern shirtless scenes in movies it should always be stressed: they’ve literally starved themselves in preparation for this brief few minutes/hour long window. Absolutely nobody in the world looks like 24/7 365. It simply isn’t possible even with drugs and even if it were nobody would want to live that way
The thing is if you are at that amount of bf% you know it because of how miserable you are and there’s no “yeah man I’m about 10% bf” it’s all high school wrasslin bullshit. Which is why I’d literally just ask them if they pulled it out of their ass or if they did a DEXA
I had mine legitimately measured at 10.2% by bioimpedance in a gym this year. It’s definitely possible to legitimately get this number as a result of a measurement, although this certainly might vary by body type and measurement, etc.
BIA is honestly not that good, just depending on how much you drink you can read as 5% lower than you actually are, there’s a reason why most lifters will generally ignore all the non DEXA results. Yes it is possible to get low bf% but the person that did it would know once you get towards single digit it is something you mentally and physically feel. It’s genuinely miserable and doesn’t look good, when you see some somewhat built guy with ok definition but not super dehydrated they are probably around 15% so many people just don’t know how much fat is needed to like fill out our body.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I dunno what a DEXA is, but when I certified for wrestling the athletic trainer was purposely generous with their measurements and I came in at 10% body fat. This was after cutting 15 pounds of fat and when I started I had a six pack. Those last few pounds were a miserable time.
So anyway, what’s the point of this story? If I had to guess, my comfortable floor is probably 10% body fat. I was probably a bit lower when I certified and miserable because of it. When I was probably around 15% body fat I looked great.
Anyway if you actually know your body fat percentage you’re either a wrestler or have an unhealthy obsession. Hell if know what I am now, I’ve lost loads of muscle and gained a little fat. You can still see a few abs, but I don’t have the full six pack anymore.
DEXA is basically an X-ray of your body, high school wrestling is notorious for giving people the impression that they are at a way lower bf% than they actually are which leads to people saying “yeah I was at 10% bodyfat when I did wrestling because my coach said so”, at that percentage doing actual wrestling would’ve seriously impacted your performance it’s generally just not where most athlete wants to be even endurance athletes like Ironman runners and triathletes will be around 12% bf
Ah. I’d love to see some data on the DEXA vs the pinch test. We certified at the beginning of the year and were forbidden from going below 7% based on those numbers, but I don’t know of anyone who actually bumped up against that limit, even with the deflated numbers (according to you, anyway). The bottom of my cut was absolutely no fun, and I refused to wrestle that low in part because of that. I had to flex my legs a few times before getting out of a chair or I’d get light headed.
I don’t really care what the real number is, so long as we’re all working from the same methods and data and the advice is being given based off those methods. Ultra low body fat isn’t something to be proud of any more than ultra high body fat or extra “perfect.”
my bf usually hovers around at 15-20ish bf without cutting through daily weightlifting. 10% bf latently means youre putting your body through a lot of stress as a bodybuilder, my bf purposefully avoids doing that and is his main reason he doesnt do competitions which youll generally want to get down to 6% for. though my bf is much bigger than this guy tbh, hes was at like 310 pounds of muscle or something at one point 🤔
i fucking love my bf hes so gorgeous 🥰 and he would list his fucking pronouns.
He may be one of the newfangled gymbro/gymcel (part of the incel to liftcel pipeline) types of chuds? I have known plenty.
I doubt it, if he were a gymcel he’d mention how much he lifts or how much time he spends in the gym this guy does the height, weight, bf% combo which is something people that aren’t gymcels do. Different vibe than “I look like a man I’m 6’2’ 225lbs and bench/squat/deadlift x plates”. This is guy did some sports during high school and is coasting on that nowadays.
Homeboy is just posting fanfic of himself for the whole world to see. Why yes, I sleep in a massive bed with many naked ladies.
plus my bf could crush him 👀

It’s amazing how some simple questions about what gender means can get someone to show their whole ass.
Good job queen on getting it started
My gf who goes to a different Lemmy instance said that I’m way more badass than this guy actually
My three weed smoking lemmy girlfriends
how do you know when a dude is 6’ or taller?
don’t worry, they’ll tell you
Wouldn’t exceptionally tall people also get tired of hearing about it all the time or standing out that much?
I knew a ridiculously tall guy once, like 6’8" I believe. He was black but non-athletic and so traumatized from people trying to get him to play basketball his whole life that he constantly moved huddled over, like bowed head and shoulders rolled forward, to look as small as possible. It was pretty sad.
I knew a tall guy that was really confident but stood like this all the time and he said it’s because he can’t hear people talking at normal volume without hunching down.
I’m very tall. That’s part of it, but also you kind of just default into a hunch if you’re not actively doing back exercises.
I know a very tall guy about 6’11 or 210cm and he constantly complained about back and knee pain and having to switch jobs due to his health. He is 22 and he became a cop lol
oof ouch owie chronic occupational pain at 21, time to hit up the donut shop and spend all day reclining in a ford explorer
People irl ask a lot tho.
My height is my most attractive physical feature, you best believe I’m telling everyone
What a bizarre take. I could be this dude to a “T” (though I’m a touch taller and have a little bit more body fat, if we’re being pedantic) and I have zero issue with pronouns at all because I’m that secure. Like, if you don’t care as the super secure male alpha you’re pretending to be, then you really don’t care if you have to add pronouns. Because you don’t care.
Homeboy does care. And that’s pretty weak.
Guess he’s not the alpha he pretends to be.
yeah he is correct on him acting male at least. now please look at this cute pit
We don’t know what you look like bud. You’re on the internet.
