Most body builders are dumb as all get out too lol. I basically grew up in one of the most competitive gyms around, and most could not really do anything else lol. All they did was look in the mirror and talk about which suppliments made their body odor even worse that week.
I need a man with an actual career and a brain. Anyone can pick up a heavy object and put it back down. Hell, that's not a sport it's indecision!

Yes, there are no shortage of knuckle-dragging, neanderthal, steroid freaks at the gym and it's true that they seem to be weirdly competitive with each other, but that being said... people should be encouraged to exercise and they should strive to keep themselves in shape, and doing so shouldn't automatically be viewed as an indictment on their intellect, or perceived lack thereof.
In other words, the two don't have to be mutually exclusive. It's entirely possible to work out, have an athletic body and yet still have a career and be able to think and converse at an intelligent level.
And let's face it, this is not exactly a country where barely literate, beer gut morons are in scarce supply. So... in all fairness to the gym rats, of whose ranks I can be counted amongst... I would say nothing is dumber than not taking care of your health and your body.
Sure, people can take it to unhealthy and obsessive extremes, but if you eat unhealthy food and live a largely sedentary lifestyle, well... how smart is that?
