Why are dudes on forums always 6'-6", 260 lbs., and ripped?

First post, here.

In general, people maintain a concrete image of themselves and an abstract image of themselves. When standing in front of the mirror, the concrete rules. Given anonymity, the abstraction rules. So if an individual says they're 6'6" and ripped, that's probably because that's how they wish to see themselves. It doesn't really matter if it's true or not--it's true inasmuch as no one can tell them differently, and they'll usually defend it to the digital death even if they're 5'2" and 300lb. Let them live with their illusions while they post pics of boy-band members. You know better, and I know better, so the only injured party is the poster themselves.

By the way, I was 6'7" but lost an inch to knee injuries. That makes me a 6'6"broke-down ex-rodeo cowboy, and the only thing ripped about me is my back, but it's healing.

Reading this thread made me giggle like mad. (laughter is the best medicine) i myself am teeny 5'2 and i weigh about 125 altho that'll be changing soon as i'm pretty sure that i'm pregnant

I am five foot ten, 167 pounds, with an ever-growing paunch. I also have next to no muscle mass, I rarely shave (though it doesn't matter, because it takes 6 months to grow 2 cm of stubble), and I refuse to cut my hair, though it looks ridiculous with my balding crown. See, we don't all lie.

I choose to take the opposite route simply because it is more fun.

I am short ugly and am missing both my arms. I type with my feet and it is quite a spectacle when I clap. I often bark like a dog for no apparent reason and I have this odd twitch that never quite goes away.

6 feet tall, and last I checked some weeks ago I was at 240 pounds. I consider myself alright in the martial arts, nothing special. But I do have the glow, and the only belts I have are the ones I use to hold my pants up.

But sometimes I just use a piece of rope to hold my pants up. I'm a lover not a fighter, and not much of a lover at that... What can I say! I am just not that great at anything.

Well, i am only 6'4 and only weighs 90kg, i also have a fan belt in street fighting. Average in my country.

I was going for my 10th dan in karate, but i took an arrow to my knee.
