It ain't about the looks, it's about the Testosterone, Part 2

Here we go again.  Sunday morning, I was in the health food store buying some grub.  As I'm standing in line to pay, I see this guy in a tank top in another line across the way.  He was standing there...actually not standing, this guy was posing, and posing in a big way. Chewing gum like some character in a cheesey 1940's gangster movie, and squinting with his eyes,  like he was doing some sort of a strange, overdone, Clint Eastwood impression. He's got his arms crossed, his legs spread wide in a classic, "I'm Bad",  body language pose. Now, with all that posturing, of course this guy was constantly glancing around the room, checking to see if anyone was looking at him.  I was, because I knew what this guy was all about, and I'm always entertained when I'm around fools like this. 

He was fairly well put together, 6 ft, decent built.  He'd been hitting the iron, but he was no Arnold, not even close.  He had made the classic rookie mistake of radically over training his biceps, and under training his triceps.  Anybody who's been around for a while knows, it's the tri's that really make an arm look bad.  Big bi's and weak tri's = rookie in my book every time.  

Anyway, he clears his tab, and starts heading for the door, and this is where the real fun began, as his act went from comical to absolutely ridiculous.  He put his grocery bag in his left hand because that arm was facing the crowd, raised his arm up so his forearm was parallel to the floor, and flexed his bicep hard as he walked to the door. As he was flexing, he was quickly, almost desperately glancing around the room to see who was looking him.  A lot of people were because this dude and his act were so transparent, it was hard not to. 

If he only knew how asinine he looked, and how repulsive that type of behavior is to the ladies. They've got a nose for this type of stuff that's way better than any guy I know, and it turns them off big time.  Insecurity is not an attractive quality.

Now, compare this dude to the one in my last post.  Who do you think is happier?  The tall insecure guy, or the short balding guy, with the girl, the confidence, and the T.
