I get the message

A couple times recently at the Tae Kwon Do school i attend i have been reminded of the fact that i am a large person. example #1. I went to judge some people testing the other day. the head instructor called all the black belts to gather for a conference before it started. At one point he told the group "Now when we get to self defence, i want you all to switch in and out a lot. we have some big guys testing today. both Levi and Mark go about 210." then he looks at me and says, "well they are big to us normal people." then the other night i went to demo practice. the instructor way giving out assignments for every one on self defence. when he got to me he paused for a sec and said "i think we will just have you be a fall guy(the person every body get to smack around and generally abuse), your so big it would just look like you where picking on every body." so basically i get to go get beat up by several people, and hold boards for breaking(take the chance of getting my fingers kicked). i will git to have one bit of fun though. i get to be a chucker(nun-chucks) during the weapons section of the demo. but only because every body loves to watch nun-chucks and I'm the only person at the school who can do it well. other wise it would have been "why does that big guy need a weapon, what a jerk." just because i look like i could break you in half does not mean...... well maybe he has a point.

Are you bragging or complaining? I think most people would rather be intimidating than intimidated. Also, you know big does not necessarily mean out of shape right? Because you're tall too :)

i think you complimented me there so thanks. i didnt get intemidated when i was 175lbs eigther. but i am complaining just a little. i think every body want to be normal or at least close to it. above average is fine, but freak show is not what i had in mind.

You know, every skinny guy I know complains about needing to "bulk up". Being a big guy must be more desirable than being a big girl. I never hear women say "I really need to put on some bulk!"

there are clearly some girls that need to bulk up. ulta skinny is not atractive. if i wanted a 12 year old boy i would have been m jacson. you notice its only little guies that want to bulk up.
