Yeah, well, in the rush to "get buff," a lot of guys take steroids, which
makes *keeping* a girlfriend rather difficult. It also induces a rage that
is VERY unsexy. (I have done the bodybuilding trip; I understand the guys
and have worked out with a lot of them. I was never serious enough to
compete though)

If you want to really read about what "testosterone poisoning" can be,
there's a wonderful autobiography of a guy who was a weight lifter who
talked about what his life was like on steroids. Honestly, body builders
are worse than models.
