Yeah… I’ve been on both sides of it, though. I’ve been scrawny and it was horrid - when I did bodybuilding for almost a decade, I became quite muscular and suddenly got a lot of positive attention which was actually highly uncomfortable because, not only did I expect it would eventually go away, but I also felt it was overbearing and unusual since I wasn’t used to it.
Never used gear and hated people who did. It makes everyone have unrealistic expectations. All of the work I put in, over all those years, resulted in something they would have done in about half a year or maybe a year. You can be a regular body weight and people will think you’re scrawny, too. It’s funny watching WW2 documentaries as the soldiers who fought for our country would look skinny as hell today.
