Small guys with big friends

[LittleArm]

This may sound a little sad or pathetic to some of you, but maybe some smaller guys can relate to this- particularly the ones who are not open about their appreciation for muscle.

I'm a slim guy, about 150lbs (but toning up nicely, if I may say so.) I have a good friend who is really well built. About 6'1, 185-190lbs, rock solid. He is not freakishly large, but has the kind of body where you can always see his nipples through his shirts because his pecs are stretching the fabric all the time. Although he has big quads, he almost looks top-heavy when he walks because his waist is disproportionately small compared with his chest/shoulders. I have seen him shirtless several times and every muscle is well-defined under the skin. Anyway, you know the type.

Here's my problem: he's a good friend, and yet it drives me crazy to be around him. I struggle not to look down and check out his physique. He may be chatting about whatever and all I'm thinking about is just wanting to reach out and grab on to his arms. I'm frustrated that no matter what I ever do, he can never feel the same thing for me as I do for him. And because of that I find myself snapping at him and getting angry for no reason at all, which is completely unfair to him. I feel bad and guilty about it, but I can't help it.

So anyway, I'm not really looking for advice, I'm not going to do anything to upset the status quo, just wondering if anyone else has similar experiences.

Nope, my friends are almost as scrawny as myself.

oh littlearm.

first, stop getting mad at the big musclestud. this does no one any good. you "can't help it"? nuts. stop it now. you want this guy, right? treat him as you would a "good friend".

since you are smaller, use your desire for muscle to get him interested in you. have him help you to grow muscle.

have you had him flex for you? will he? have him show you the power man. can you give him a massage after a blistering workout? can you help him with his nutrition? can you help him by buying him supplements? i can guarantee he is into muscle or he wouldn't be as big as he is. flatter him, but be discreet, he will eat it up with his muscle-ego........mention how much you want to grow, to be like him.

think littlearm. this guy is your dream, so start dreaming up ways to see and feel the muscles.

help him to grow.........anyway you can.

I agree. He'll completely dig you praising his muscles and size, but take it easy at first. Soon he'll be flexing on demand

My workout buddy is somewhat smaller than me at 6' 175#, but he's defined. He loves his abs and talks about them and has let me feel them a couple of times. When I first met him at the gym I thought for sure he was bi or even gay because when we lifted together he was constantly looking at me when he was lifting. But he talks about women a lot. I really value his friendship and I don't want to freak him out. We hang out quite a bit outside the gym too. I'm just taking it easy and making sure to praise him for his progress whenever I can.
