In your opinion, what are the fundamental advantages in life to being jacked? Any disadvantages?

You guys forgot one of the biggest things. After your shoulders hit a certain size you can't wipe your ass anymore. I have to put a leg up on the toilet seat and do this weird gymnastic shit to wipe my ass. Usually I just jump back in the shower now if I shit.

You need to learn to wipe from the front bro, unless you have Trex arms then go on lol.
 
As an almost 50 woman literally everything is better and I’m not even jacked, YET, just beginning to see a 4-pack. Being strong and seeing muscles is so….god it’s just so f*ckn awesome. Is there a BB division for 50+ women? :P

Sex
Self love
Mental wellbeing
Resilience to the shit life throws my way
Being strong
Feeling confident
Increasing love for “the work” - loving the grunting and sweating at the gym.
Me, in the mirror, ngl I love my body in a way I never have before and that’s not nothing
Eating for performance and gain instead of pleasure, which is a far more satisfying pleasure. And way better than dieting to get rid of imperfections.
Sex

Get a bidet. They cost like $50 on Amazon and are very easy to install.

I'll start by a simple list of my own:

1) I can do other things in life well that do not involve lifting weights. Dirt bikes, chasing the kids around, hunting, carrying in groceries or whatever else is much easier when you are fit and strong.

2) I get noticed everywhere I go (though this can also be a disadvantage). Especially out here where I live where so few people are in great shape. Everyone wants to be fit but statistically so few people are. Women stare and dudes look on in admiration or jealously. For better or for worse, people notice you.

3) People tend to respect me more, even in professional settings. Not sure why this is or if it's possibly subconscious. I guess it's because it shows commitment, self discipline and the ability to maintain these traits over many years. Employers, clients and colleagues all seem to respect this by nature.

4) An overall positive frame of mind. I find that when you take care of your body, your state of mind is similarly elevated. It's self love and it shows in how you carry yourself and interact with others. People tell me I am always smiling. Well, that's because I am a pretty happy camper 99% of the time.

5) Sex. I am flat out better at it and more confident since I got into bodybuilding. The drugs I take can sometimes cause performance issues that I have to mitigate, but at 33 years old I am more of a sexual dynamo now that at any previous point in my life.

6) Lower stress levels. It's well noted that exercise can be crucial in managing stress, and for us gym rats that workout 5-6 days a week, therapy from stress is only a session at the cage away.

7) It gives me a sense of control/power. So many factors and circumstances in my life are out of my hands. It can be overwhelming at times. What I can control with military precision is my diet, my workouts, etc. I am truly master of my own destiny when fitness is the metric.

8) It gives me a hobby that is all about me. So many aspects of my life are taking care of others. My wife, my family, paying the bills, making sure everyone makes it to their practices or events and whatever else. I felt like a cog in the machine that served no real purpose other than being a provider before bodybuilding. This life has opened up my eyes to my true potential and made me face down demons that had been haunting me for years. Bodybuilding did not save my life per se, but it has improved it's quality dramatically.

That's all I got off the top of my head.

Another disadvantage is in sports. One look at your size and everyone sticks you in a role regardless. Step onto a "soccer" field and after a few juggles, you're either a Centre-half if mobile or a goalkeeper if slower.
Rugby was the worst. It's always Prop :D :D, or spend a whole game listening to complaints from the lads on why you should be playing Prop

I don’t know about this.
We always tell the fat and/or short and fat blokes to get into the front row. If you’ve got height or speed you’ve got other options.

Anyway, I always thought that prop looked like the most fun on the field. Don’t get me wrong, I never wanted to look like a prop…
 
Bodybuilding will help you with REAL WOMEN and mostly middle aged women, I find that most females under the age of 35 are intimidated by it and not into it. I probably put off more than I attract, the only ones I ever attracted seemed like older chicks and degenerate stripper bitches! Oh yea, and don’t forget abt the gays and obese black women. Bodybuilding to the fat black chicks is sort of like giant chrome rims on a car, you stand out and it’s a status sort of thing

This can swing the other way. I have found that some folks in business will be more aggressive with me compared to others. This is usually men and a byproduct of "small man" syndrome.
 
Mostly positive experience as quality of life improved quite significantly. But also lots of jealous people who try to put me down by any means necessary.

Side effects do annoy sometimes, but nothing unmanageable. There's no free ride. Pros and cons everywhere.
 
I know plenty of jacked folks... I manage little league and the fit dads are always out there helping me out. One of them is the reason I am here on Meso. He turned me on to BCP/TB500 which has literally changed my life and I am very thankful to him... but, and dont get me wrong, they are some of the nicest people I have met, and they clearly love their kids but I have yet to meet one without serious relationship problems and all of it seems to revolve around finances (more like financial irresponsibility) and this alpha dog BS (comes off as childish rubbish).

For example, most seem to suffer from is not being honest about themselves. They tend to be show offs... and I really dont know why they do that. For example, one dude literally told me last season that his GF cheated on him and he mentioned several times that he is getting a new job because the one he was at wasnt paying well etc. I figured ok, maybe he is asking for advice? I am older, have a happy marriage, and wealthy so maybe I can help right? Nope... when I try to guide them a bit it almost always resulted in them clamming up and telling me how great things are. They got a new car (lol), the new job will surely be great! Then they show me pictures of all these girls on their phone and im like... werent you about to get engaged to that other one before she "cheated?" When did you have time to get a dozen new fuck buddies? Something you didnt tell me perhaps? If I mention investing in a better college degree or learning finance so they can invest in stocks, they ignore that and ask me what stock to buy now or what I think of this crypto (aka gambling)... I mean come on...

The irony is all these guys clearly have some sort of disipline... Body building isnt easy. Its dedicated work in itself, but they seem to refuse to do the same with their brain... bring up college and they get this annoyed look on their face like I insulted their ancestors. Bring up NOT dating folks from gym or bars and its like their balls dropped out their ass...

So if you ask me, the advantages of being jacked are only physical. Dont expect more. Obviously better quality of life like you can play with your kids till old age, you are likely to live a bit longer than average, you have better injury recovery, you know how to care for yourself (because lets face it... doctors dont always give a fuck). But when it comes to girls or money? None that I can see. If anything it attract the wrong people. im going through that now because im back in shape. All of a sudden every single mom wants to share just how long shes been divorced... even my friends sisters, who know im married, are making advances. Its fucking wierd. This is not a good thing at all because of the social implication.

@op

Points 1 & 2 - Yes
Points 3 to 6 - No, not from what ive seen
Point 7 - Yes
Point 8 - Dont think its relevent to being jacked

Pros: You can open stubborn jars. You can lift heavy things.

Negatives: Always having to open people's jars and being asked if I can help someone move something.

maybe this is just banter, youre supposed to make a joke, they are trying to bond by talking about "guy problems" in a flippant way, thats half serious and they expect you to reply in the same type of way.

like guys that go to the bar and bitch about their wives.
They are showing you hot chicks you're supposed to talk about their tits

Its entirely possible i might misread people. I was a nerd/geek growing up in the late 80s and 90s back when it was not cool to be that way. So its not like I know the various cool kid cultures. Never understood drinking, partying and all that. But that was so long ago... Im definitely better with people who are direct, be it male and female.

But honestly, we roast each other all day out on the field. Its not like we dont joke around. But I dont know. There are certain topics and some reactions that raise a flag. For example, the dude who was cheated on was literally in tears. The other dude who has financial trouble is always talking about how he wants to spend more time with his kid but cant because he has to work a lot and isnt paid well (this seems to be the most common theme).

I mean shouldnt I be trying to help being the elder with some success and all? Am I supposed to pretend I have the same issues even when I dont? It feels like such a waste given these guys are still fairly young, mostly in their 30s. And really it doesnt take much to improve finances or to select better partners... finances are just exercizing the thing between your ears. It takes time and effort like anything else. Partnerships are all about compromise but also an "grown up" mindset really.

oh ok i get now.

honestly Its a generational thing, I don't mean that as a cop out, and you might not agree, because its kind of a heated topic, but the two things that have changed the most in the past 10 years have been the economy/job market and relationships/dynamic between men and women. these two things have changed drastically

not saying they don't do dumb stuff like buy cars they can't afford but these mistakes are a lot more costly nowadays and its much harder for younger men to find a good woman because the whole dynamic of relationships and dating has changed.

i dont know what i would do in your situation other than say that sucks itll get better and try to make it lighthearted and turn it into a joke
