I feel so dumb. Although she was pretty much out of my league in terms of age difference 17 , she's 20 I still failed pretty hard

She was talking about moving and I said that was my summer job and then she said I don't look like I can lift heavy stuff and I cringily responded "I can hold my own, I'm strong" and then she had to clarify that she was joking, ugh what a fucking fail.

I should have pressure flipped and said " I'd like to see you carry a marble table up 9 flights of narrow stairs"

She also confirmed that I look like I don't even lift, and I do. But this is exactly what a very popular TRP post said, friends and people you know/have known will recognize your gains and you may even aquire some mirers' ( I definitely did) but to others, you're still a skinny shit who looks like a twig compared to guys in the magazines and media.
