A buddy of mine experienced a transformation from a brony (basically a gamer basement dweller) to a weight lifting dater of women... After he got some testosterone shots to make him approach modern average.
Note you can search engine the decking testosterone in men. Literally modern are not their grandfathers. iirc, each year testosterone declines 1%. Also lower sperm counts.

Imagine how the world would look of men had the testosterone of their grandparents.

Doctors were extremely hesitant to give him any testosterone as they don't trust men with it.... They think men will go crazy.

A brony is an adult fan of My Little Pony.

Nothing to do with gaming rofl

Now I want to know if op actually associated himself with a grown man who went to my little pony conventions, or he was just using the term wrong

Boys who display anything but docility get put on nasty drugs.

Yeah, the middle school tried to tell my parents I should be put on meds.

My father entered what I call "Master Chief Mode" and gave them whatfor. They never heard anything more about it.

I had no idea the school wanted to do that until decades later.

When my older brother was in 2nd grade the school tried to put him on Ritalin. My mother's response was to pull us out of school, and then proceeded to homeschool me and my 5 brothers for the next 20 years. (Some of them weren't born yet.) Every day more and more I appreciate my parents and what they've done for me.

Given the type of person my mother was, and knowing now more about her "issues" I'm unfortunately glad I wasn't home-schooled because the little amount of time I had to spend around her was already enough to do some long lasting damage.

That makes it harder for the kids to get into fights.

My kids get in arguments with their friends that they visit though.

As with any supplement, overdosing will always have consequences, too much testosterone might transform you into a gorilla. But boosting it reasonably shouldn't hurt, especially if you match the decline plus a slight increase and document the difference.

Also, best way to increase is not via pills but doing it the natural way, like grandpa did, some tips on the way: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/8-ways-to-boost-testosterone#2.-Eat-Protein,-Fat-and-Carbs

Yep. Alcohol slows skeletal muscle growth.

The odd bit? It appears that testosterone may follow aggression, and not the other way around. You need to be more aggressive to get by? Testosterone boosts up to allow you to be the buff king you need to be to survive.

If my generation was even 1/10th the man my grandfather was....

Jan 6th would have turned out much better than it did.

Don't try to pin that on gaming, he might have also been a gamer but a brony is a grown ass man that really likes My Little Pony.
