He's pretty cute, ngl. Sometimes you just gonna admire the human body. ^(and worry less about labels!)

My great grandfather worked on that dam!

I don’t think that’s him, though.

Go shovel concrete for hours/days/weeks on end and start your day with oatmeal and bacon, and end it with beef stew and a whiskey. Drink bucket water throughout.

And all this time, I thought it was hose water that maxed gains.

He cerlainly is! But in this case the fact that you're cis is not really relevant, it's more the fact that you're heterosexual, which is not the same :)

The Hoover Dam project was one of the first (the first?) where hard hats were mandatory for workers on-site!

People need to lay off the pizza and do some exercise, any exercise.

So many people are so overweight. That's how most young guys should look!

Kids: It’s your fault for not performing grueling manual labor 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no worker protections, in the Mojave fuckin Desert, whilst contending with food scarcity, during the Great Depression.

Shame on all y’all not-willing-to-die pudgekins.

I'm Gen X. It's amazing when I go back and watch shows and movies from my childhood that had a token fat character in them, because that character looks like an average person today. Look at Chunk from the Goonies. He was considered fat enough to have a nickname like Chunk, but he looks like the majority of kids I see now.

Ever see old photos from around this era of what a muscled attractive man is supposed to look like? It's always some barrel chested fool with a mustache and piss poor muscle definition. If history is to be believed, women would have taken one look at this construction worker and (classism aside) thought "ew no thanks".
