Price has only gone up because people are willing to pay it. Being in good shape, lifting weights, etc., has always been popular, regardless of sexual preference.

Look, don't mistake my comment for being anti-gay. I was only pointing out that many of our current "masculine" heterosexual trends (in fashion, body image, etc) stem from earlier trends in homosexual culture (just look at the "metrosexual" trends of today). To my knowledge, working out regularly and sculpting the body was more widely adopted in homosexual culture before it became popular in heterosexual culture.

My intent was more of an attack on homophobia than anything else. Sorry if I was misunderstood.

Gay or not, odds are that they're still gonna kick your ass. :D

lol I guess it's ok then?

The article is obviously tongue in cheek but he probably still believes these things on some sublevel, else he wouldn't have bothered writing it. I suppose it's mildly entertaining when you distill meaning out of it. It'd be interesting to read a retort about mindless steroid popping, 2-inch-cock, jocks and their inability to see the world in the wonderful shades of gray, but alas, the truth is rarely as entertaining as fiction.

Truth is a relative term, CR. In the same way that you see truth in equating fiction to his article and truth to your evaluation, others see truth in equating his article to truth and your evaluation to fiction.

Yes, but they're not actually sh!t, they're just wussies like CR, above. Kind of like how bacon is not "bake-on" but is instead pork. Either way, meat.

Basically, I have no idea.

This kids in college right? University of miami? What I'd like to know is how this 80's child is so bad ass or Hard. I mean by then, in the 80's, you had crap like time out, no dodge ball, padded playgrounds in full effect.

What's amusing is his drive to work out is to improve his appearance, the same as the guy who spends his time focusing his efforts on his hair or clothing.

Both are equally as vain and both are equally as pointless.
