Social Intelligence Fail



Unbelievable. Today in the cantina I witnessed an early 20's dude make a big production out of 1) buying a carton of milk, 2) pouring it into a shaker already containing protein powder, 3) shaking it vigorously while still in immediate proximity of the counter, and 4) starting to imbibe the protein shake whilst walking, invisible suitcases in hand, towards a vacant seat accompanied by his buddies.

Now, fixin' yourself a protein shake in a crowded room and even trying to get attention for it is a great way to becoming a social pariah, save for amongst your three or four fellow short bus-riding compadres - irrespective of whether or not you look like your body requires extra-dietary protein. So; you might ask yourself - did he at least look the part? Was he the second coming of Kevin Levrone or Yates himself?


....the answer to that depends on whether or not you find the guy from the "Mr. Muscle" ads to be a monster.

LOL!

Yeah, I wonder from time to time if I should go out and meet other bodybuilders myself. :-)

But, personally, I don't feel it would have been any better if the dude looked the part. Epic SI fail regardless...

I completely agree that it wouldn't have mattered if dude looked like Lee Priest - it'd still be a social intelligence fail of equal magnitude.

However, the observation that his behavior and his appearance severely mismatched indicate that he also sucks at other things in life.

Methinks you should bring a camera more often. A photo story from this and similar posts from you would be the awsome...

Yeah; I can picture it now: "strike a pose, Diesel, show that front lat spread"
