Personality
-
Do muscular guys who obviously put a lot of effort into their bodies have somewhat egotistical personalities? I've never really met one personally but I would like to know what the typical kind of personality they would have. In entertainment media they are always represented as stuck up jocks that don't have much of a charming personality.

I know some of these and they are a bit egocentric… maybe then they are also funny and easy-going, but often they think the others like them are dickhead or simply don't care about others when they speak or do their things... one I know has 3-4 girls at the same time (or so he say) and ha has no problem cheating them with the others because I believe he think only about himself...
It's also very annoying when in gym, next to me struggling to put some mass and lose some fat, he start to flex complaining he's not big enough (oh, yes... instead I'm a monster, right?... -_-) when its twice as large as me and has the perfect genetic for a bodybuilder (wide shoulder, narrow hips, etc...), while I have instead hips as large as my shoulder and bad genetics... -
I can't help but wondering why do these guys who are already muscly enough still complain about not being big enough. Even gaining 1 kg seems to be a horror for them. Makes me think to certain degree they act like females, afraid of gaining even the slightest weight even if they can lose it very easily

Well… as one that was fat (84kg of almost all fat), then fatty-slim (68kg but again all of fat), and then after months of gym and diet I'm changing, I can understand.
Adding 1kg without knowing if it's muscle (good, diet and gym work) or fat (bad, I'm eating too much or I'm not doing right in gym) can be a nightmare because I'm giving blood and tears to make myself as I want to be... they probably worked years to be like that... it's easy to become fat, muscles are growing in a logaritmic curve, easy at start but growing with mass and aging it's more difficult (you add less and less with the same time and intensity of training) till you reach your maximum and then is only maintenance, not growing...But I'm not standing those who brag (because this is a type of bragging) about their size complaining near someone that is half their size... or start to show off perfectly defined abs near someone that is desperate to just feel them under 5cm of fat...
I look at them like my arrival point (and it's also people that if they add a bit more they cannot find a shirt to wear) and they complain this is not enough... not nice... -
I would imagine that to some degree, muscular guys/bodybuilders have a bit of an ego - I mean you basically have to if you're going to devote so much time and energy + blood/sweat/tears towards sculpting your body. It's practically a lifestyle change - diet and exercise/weighttraining to get built - so yea, I'd expect muscular guys to have some level of egotism if they pour so much time into molding their physiques.
