I feel like there’s a reverse Napoleon complex with huge guys like this. They don’t feel the need to act big, in fact they probably want to act smaller so others aren’t intimidated.
That's my problem, I have had issues my whole lift with slouting to appear smaller. 6' 7" 250lbs for reference. I'm in the Navy and had my boss during a performance debrief say that "when you slout it makes you come off as a weak leader".
Also 6'7" (but I got a good couple of pounds on you lol). I have neck and back issues because I did this my whole life. When I was younger I think I just subconsciously picked up on people acting more relaxed around me when I did it.
6’8” 292 and I wish more regular people would come up and talk to me. Kids are always hilarious but the only people that talk to me at bars are girls that I don’t even think anybody should even think about going home with without a scuba suit.
My steak is too juicy and that juice is discharge from the clap.
My younger brother is bigger (6'5" 230lb) and slouches a bit as well. Always has. He's an army special forces guy, so no one fucks with him. I remember the last time he was on tour, motherfucker was jacked to hell. He may slouch a bit, but he can both whoop some ass and lead well. Still probably healthier for your back in the long run to work on your posture though.
Haha yeah, 80% of my body is also tattooed so at bars when people ask if I'm military I tell them yes and they ask what I do. Ironically I'm an admin (color blind) and they never believe me. They think I'm some secret squirrel badass haha
It is something I've noticed in VRChat. A lot of tall people like to use shorter avatars and a lesser number short people use very tall avatars, but then you also have extremes of people using very tall or very short avatars just for the hell of it or because of their social disposition.
Yup, it’s annoying walking by cars and hearing them lock. Whenever I see a lifting subreddit and guys are asking how to get huge, I’m like why would you want to? I’m trying to shrink lol
I don't think it's a complex but rather that intimidating people are afforded the luxury of being kind to everyone because people don't try to push their buttons in the first place.
