I'm gonna lose all my gains. I'm doing a phd in econometrics and I'm only the person that lifts in that entire field. everywhere I go people look at me weird. I feel very out of place, and when I go to conferences I constantly get asked if I'm in the right place.
They fear you, because if you look like that and can also brainmog them what excuse do they have?
Is this board full of people who've never had a job in their lives? Never been in a professional position? Do you actually believe any of the things you're saying, like, the world can be categorised in an archaic, barbaric, dichotomy of strong v weak, even in a technical field?
OP, there's a reason why running is the wealthy persons exercise. Swap to cardio instead of lifting or you won't even get hired.
shut up retard, they fear that which makes them contemplate their own inadequacies
Or you look like an insecure loser.
>working on your body makes you an insecure loser
You better stop showering, grooming, cutting hair, using all your fancy perfumes and caring about clothes then
>Do you actually believe any of the things you're saying, like, the world can be categorised in an archaic, barbaric, dichotomy of strong v weak, even in a technical field?
Our brains are the same as they were 10k+ years ago you fucking retard, no shit the "world can be categorised" like that. It's all subconscious. Fuckinh idiot.
This Gumby doesn't even realize that bouldering is filled with brainmogs who are jacked to the nines.
Anon sounds like he couldn't do a V2 even if he locked his crimps.
>people look at you and think you're a meathead
>mog them by showing you're in the same field
How is that bad? You're mogging them physically and matching mentally - it generates seethe I guess but just embraced
this
Its ok. You had shit gains to begin with. Now youll have no gains to pair with your unlikeable personality
Why don’t you want to mog your peers?
They're intimidated. Keep lifting and studying to MOG them to the max.
Be the best, in every department. When the new crash tm starts and thos limp wristlets start dropping out of buildings they'll remember their utter inferiority compared to YOU.
>too stupid for real science or tech work
>too uncharismatic to already land a good high paying finance job
econometrics phd bros....... we lost............
imagine being so beta that you let a bunch of DYEL nerds bully you out of lifting because of their seething jealousy
OP, do you dress and carry yourself like someone doing a PHD or do you dress like an insecure gym bro douchebag, because that might be it
Lmao I'm imagining him wearing the Monkey Tanktop at conferences
those things will tear your face off
dont stop lifting gay
What is she checking for?
Prolly shit stains
>no tits
Another one fell for the t-rex meme kek
She's insecure and wants ego boosts and validation so she shows off the only thing she has that might be valuable: overtrained lowerbody i.e. big ass.
I went to the supermarket today and everyone was staring at me
I felt weird too.. and often dudes seen intimidated my me for no reason. People dont look me in the eyes
It is so weird.. i am the same dude as before. I dont miss it but I feel bad for they to be exposed to that instintive reflex
Probably because you are ugly
Wtf bro. I’m finishing last year of MD and at least half of the people there are jacked. What are you even crying about?
>Econometrics uses economic theory, mathematics, and statistical inference to quantify economic phenomena. In other words, it turns theoretical economic models into useful tools for economic policymaking.
sounds like some lame nerd gobbledymoron my man
Just cut to 10% so u dont look like u lift in a tshirt, its that easy. despite what IST says looking fit is not optimal in any professional environment if you’re not in a position of power.
imagine having a subordinate that’s 6’3 and 200lbs of pure muscle, u’re inherently intimidated to order him around and like him less just for that. if u cant make ur bosses secure with their power and develop trust in u u’ll never get anywhere in a hierarchy.

Could be worse. I didn't lift until after my phd (different field) and I was much older, and after 3 years of lifting I don't have anything impressive without my shirt off. If I had started when you did I would be so much happier because I could focus less on the gym.
Grad students are still a very young crowd, just develop a personality so that you can own your muscles playfully. If someone throws a jokey reference to your physqiue, do soft laugh and a throw quick flex of one arm. You want to come off as a person who is 100% comfortable in their own body when normal interactions are going on, but when outside attention is called to your body you want to come off as socially astute. Your playful-ness and ironic flexing should send a message like "yeah, guys with big muscles usually aren't like us!"
I'm actually surprised about the conference thing. When you arrive at the conference, are you being proactive in meeting other people so that they know who you are right away? If you are the first one to go "Hi. You here for the econ conference too?" then it establishes in a natural way that you are supposed to be there. It's also possible you are letting an insecurity get to you. Conferences are filled with lots of strangers, and I would get asked who I was/was I there for the conference too, even though I didn't look out of place in any way.

Go clothes shopping at Nordstorms/Macys and ask the employees to give you some good professional wardrobe options, but which wouldn't be too formal for working at a university campus as a teaching assistant. Or just buy some chinos, henleys, plain sweaters, and button ups.
Same here, bud. I’m an entomologist and I stg I have only met one other man who lifts. When we made eye contact he just nodded at me and we went out separate ways.
Sounds gay as fuck
So your gain are going to... regress to the mean ? ahahha jk jk
you should.. pull youself up by the (non parametric) bootstrap ahahah jk jk
don't forget to reshape your bo- i mean dataset ahaha jk jk
Was vaguely thinking about starting B:econ next year part time. Redpill me on econ degrees
If we had a /fitlit/ conference somewhere around the Baltic sea I'd go in a heartbeat. We'll find a hotel with a good gym and then work out and present papers or hold panels on /fitlit/ topics.
t. economic history-fag.
Anon, you have to follow this guy's example
