Roided vs Not. We walked away from the turbo roided up aesthetic. Ish. There's still obvious steroid usage within a lot of male actors, but it's been toned down to look more realistic. Body standards for what is considered aesthetically pleasing change over time, and I'm honestly not sure who creates these trends. I haven't met any women that really like that ultra low body fat, turbo muscular look-- but those older action movies weren't really made with women in mind. Look at women's magazines from the 60s til now, and you see obvious changes there for women too. Maybe society hit a bigger desire for immersion, and since the 2nd row of body types are more obtainable than the first row?

Roided vs Not

Exactly. You can't look like that top row without boosting.

I don't think it's really for women's benefit, or sexual since those roids fuck that up, but more about physical power.

I was at a gas station picking up beer, and this tall legged beauty was parked in a handicap parking spot. A dude said "shouldn't you at least walk with a limp." Which is a dick thing to say. And her roided out bf just happened to come out of the store at that moment to hear it. I thought I was about to see a man murdered. Oh he was mad... And I'm not even going to try and break up a fight between a human hill of muscle and some mouthy dude.

What was wrong with the dudes comment?

I hope I'm never getting the shit beat out of me by a human gorilla with you around.

Because she could have had any number of issues wrong with her that limit the distance she's able to walk. Unless she was just being a lazy bitch and just parked there without a tag.. in which case everyone involved is an asshole.

I wouldn't jump to "maybe she has a hidden disability" right off the bat. I would figure her roided bf parked there like an asshole. That's the likeliest event, let's be honest.

I can see where you are coming from, though.

She was the one driving though, according to the story. Roid guy didn't come into the equation until after the dude made his shitty comment.

There are invisible disabilities, it's not always apparent why someone needs accomodations.

I find it hard to believe that applies here, but I see where you are coming from.

I had ankle surgery in my early 20s. Even after the boot came off I couldn't walk long on it. People were pretty nasty when I had to go shopping in those electric carts. If you look young and healthy they assume you don't really need it, if you're old and fat they assume you're just too lazy to walk. Even using a cane inspired ire.

That was just a temporary situation for me but it made me consider people who have to deal with that constantly. Sure, there's fakers and people taking advantage, but since we can't know without grilling a person about their medical history and we shouldn't do that to the legitimately differently abled people, it goes to reason you shouldn't do it to anyone. At least not over something as minor as a parking spot. Panhandling is a different story.
