“… or are you just pleased to see me? ”
A friend of mine and I were at a university gym working out. We’d just finished and we were standing around for a moment and talking, when a friend of his walked up to us, and asked the question that has, over the last year, proved to be one of my biggest pet peeves, “How much do you bench”. This question is often preceded or succeeded by colloquialisms such as “Bro” or “Dude”, but, invariably, its purpose is this– To start an epic pissing match. In addition to this, rarely ever are both, or even one of the parties involved, honest about their actual physical limitations. What you lift has no bearing on your masculinity, nor will it make your dick bigger, so when it comes to a pissing contest, while you are busy unzipping in preparation to do battle, don’t be offended if I just continue my conversation and go on living my life.
