Expressing her frustration, she questioned, “What exactly is your problem? What’s this useless iron you’re carrying around? We asked you to bring home a wife, you’re there building useless muscle.”
She went on to say, “Is it muscle we want to eat? Do you even think every woman likes bodybuilders? There are plenty women at the gym, you refused to bring one home. With all the muscles, we have not seen a woman following you.”
