Although it's something they use, it's still factual. It's been studied that regular weight training alone easily increases testosterone to a measurable degree.

Macho men on the decline

This study makes me so sad I want to curl up in a ball and softly cry myself to sleep.
If you want to meet some serious macho men I could direct you to some gay bars. They get really excessive about it sometimes.

Change "study" to "thread" and you have how I feel.
Really, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the "macho man" on the decline (if that article had a shred of truth to it - asides from that a man's testosterone will decline over the course of nearly 20 years). If there is anyone more prone to explosive tempers, violence, and is very insecure in their masculinity, it is the macho man who is terrified of all things that even resemble feminine.

Kilgore is known for sarcasm and hyperbole. Of course he isn't going to actually crawl up into a ball and cry himself to sleep. It is, however, a more colorful and interesting way of saying something like "people are stupid."
You won't like that answer either, more than likely.

I think that your best moves, then, would to either reply without being a jerk, or to not have mentioned anything in the first place.

I figured you'd have been thoughtful enough to join the dots initially.
When responding to you now, I can't be sure what you might construe as "being a jerk" after what went on in that obesity thread.
I know I crossed the line with a few members in that thread and I believe I, more or less, publicly purged myself and changed my posting angle more accordingly with the rules. I can't be completely sure what you might consider to be something worth reporting me for - for all I know, you could find this very post to be offensive.
Ultimately, I feel like my dialogue with you has been hindered significantly as a result as I can't really recall anything that I said to you that was grossly offensive or against the forum rules; although I could be wrong and I don't really want to waste my time revisiting that thread.
This being considered: "how ironic" was probably the best route to go.
As far as that thread goes, I've only stopped posting because of holiday business, I'm not done with it, but that's beside the point. Don't act as if I'm some oversensitive crybaby who reports you for being a meany, I only got pissed off because of the blatantly rude and insulting things that were said, not directed to me personally, but to people like me, and the dehumanizing tone pushed against us and those who can see see beauty in us. But that is a separate thread, and we shouldn't be discussing it here for the sake of not derailing. As for what "being a jerk" entails, if you really aren't able to understand what the majority of people find to be rude or offensive, I think your problems run much deeper than the one you have with me.

I don't think that I did. As I said, I can't be sure whether you "told the principal on me" or not; all I know is that it was a thread in which I genuinely apologized to you and offered a positive affirmation.
Additionally, I admitted to deliberately breaking the rules, promptly apologized and changed my posting habits accordingly.
Out of curiosity: were you one of the members who reported me?
I'll admit, I was having fun in that thread at others' expense which was wrong for me to do. I believe the issue has been resolved.
And please don't imply that I have deeply seeded "problems" either on account of that thread. That's an incredibly passive aggressive thing to say.

That's not passive aggressive. It's being direct and assertive about some of the crappy things you have said. And, yes, if you can't see how much of what you said was very dehumanizing and degrading, you really need to start living outside of your own bubble some and try being sensitive to others. That doesn't mean holding hands and flowers and kumbaya, but it does mean making sure what you say isn't just random crap based on nothing more than ignorant prejudice.

It's passive aggressive to imply that a series of posts I made are somehow reflective of my entire character and presence in the world.
You know virtually nothing about the type of person I am outside of a few hundred posts that you could dig up on this forum. To put things in perspective: you don't know me at all.
I believe I am a sensitive person who is respectful, kind and accomodating to those around who are in my life. To "live in a bubble" so to speak would be to confine yourself to an internet persona.

I'm going to kick your *** for saying that!!!! But only when you are ready, because I'm sensitive to your needs.
