I talk to guys ALL THE TIME about bulking up. It's common.

Replace that phrase with "in my experience". Most women are VERY concerned with upper body training. Find me a woman who wants to wear a sleeveless dress (especially a wedding dress) or a bathing suite that doesn't care what her arms look like. I can't even tell you how many times I've had women ask me how to "get rid of the flap" (flabby triceps).

True bodybuilders will be rare, sure. But skinny teens looking to bulk up is almost too common. I'm in a college town, so maybe I just have more of them... but they're not hard to find.

I really feel like you've taken your limited experience in one area of the world and projected it as blanket "reality". It's so bad I often wonder if you're just fucking with us.
