    Not all men are like that. But they mostly want to impress their s.o or other ladies around them.

    They think the more built they are, the more attractive they get.

    Opiates are narcotic-like that your human body rewards you when you are undertaking heavy exercises. I have had memberships with Bally Total Fitness(now called Blast)and 24-Hours Fitness for 23 years. I exercise about 30 minutes a visit until I become well-saturated with sweat. Exercise physicians say 30 minutes a day of exercise until you sweat is enough. What happens is guys, young guys, think the more they exercise with too- heavy weights, that they will look great and impress women.

    Exercise physiologists in Sweden conducted experiments in health studios where men and women exercise. The scientists covered all the mirrors with paper so no one could watch themselves exercise. It was learned that people improved their work-outs so well, that the average person who exercised increased their performance by 15% because each person focused on their own exercise programs.

    I watch guys over-work certain muscles until they become muscle-bound and walk like grunts. Opiates rewards you if you push yourself beyond what is normal. The same is true of long-distance runners. People describe that they got their "second-wind" and was able to keep running.

    It's not just men. In fact, I would say that more women than men are unsatisfied with the way they look. People in general are pressured into looking a certain way so they can fit in with the popular crowd. To me, if I'm dating someone who isn't happy about their body, then they should do something about it instead of complaining about it.
