If you are in any way intending to use this to negatively depict aas users, fuck off. If your are non biased and just gathering info, right on.

I would also like to add that my use of aas has a very positive and motivating effect on my lifestyle. No drinking, clean living, good work ethic, keeping myself in the gym and out of trouble and etc.

1 male
2 33
3 Currently working on my degree. Worked as a bouncer/escort and a finish carpenter before. Also worked at a gym for a while.
4 no
5 used to be 4 months out of the year for only a couple years.
6 Varied a lot
7 Mostly test.
8 Seldom
9 Seldom
10 Seldom
12 This needs to be clarified. Have I gone to a party gotten drunk and wound up in bed with another drunk girl? yes its happened a few times. But the desires for these actions were mutual and I’d get their # and sleep with them again unless they were unattractive. So my answer is Never.
13 Never
14 Never
15 Seldom
16 Seldom
17 Never
18 Seldom
19 Never
20 Seldom I have when I was younger.
21 Hell no.
22 Seldom but it was in self defense and they had weapons too. No one was killed.

I’ve never had a problem controlling my temper because of AAS. Never did tren though.

I have too add this, I’m not sure about this survey. Some people (feminized males and gutless women) would look at my answers and come to some rather negative conclusions about my personality, but those who know me personally wouldn’t think this at all. I’m the type of guy that will say something most of the time if someone cuts in line or does anything disrespectful. I’ll go up to people at the gym who left their plates on the bar and call them on it. Thats my personality and I’m proud of it.

    500mg/week

  3. What are your preferred anabolics?
    Testosterone, dianabol, whatever I can get my hands on!!!

AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR:

  1. I have initiated physical fights:
    NEVER - unless my teenage years count. But that waaay before I before I used steroids, so it doesn’t count.

  2. I have initiated verbal fights:
    NEVER - only the occasional angry exchange of words on the road, but that’s when they beep or yell at me first, lol

  3. I have threatened physical violence without a weapon:
    SELDOM and only when other guys tried to hit on a girlfriend at the time…this was before steroids too.

  4. I have threatened physical violence with a weapon:
    NEVER

  5. I have taken advantage of someone who was in an intoxicated state:
    NEVER

  6. I have hit someone when they were unaware:
    NEVER

  7. I have hit someone when they were already down:
    NEVER

  8. I curse out loud:
    OFTEN

  9. I have purposefully broken things that are not mine:

  10. I have purposefully cut or burned myself:
    NEVER

  11. I have purposefully caused physical injury to another person:
    When I was younger I’d start fights and I don’t know if they came away injured - but since then, I have never purposely injured someone.

19)I have stolen money:
When I was younger I took a couple of dollars out of my parent’s wallets, but never now.

  1. I have defaced or desecrated public property:
    When I was younger, as I said, I was a hooligan, but never now.

  2. I have abused animals:
    When I was a kid I used to pour salt on snails to see them shrivel up, and sometimes I hunted birds with an air rifle. I also used to kick the neighbour’s dog at one point in time because a lot of dogs in the street used to chase me and try to attack me, so I took it out on that one. That was in my childhood.

Now, I occasionally kill cane toads (species Bufo Marinus) on sight, usually with a blunt object, because they are a menace to the environment here.

So that’s about it - the only cruelty I’ve done apart from kick a dog, is pretty much pest control hunting on vermin-type creatures.

  1. I have used weapons in physical altercations: NEVER

Just gathering info man. By the way, I’ve used a number of times myself.

25

Thats reassuring, and in that case I suspect your intentions are probably biased positively if anything. Also I just realized I didn’t answer the questions in the correct format. Sorry I am borderline retarded sometimes

I didn’t imagine there would be as many responses to this as there are.

I’ve been wondering about that too. Is everyone that nice? Or am I a monster? Everytime I read through someone’s answers it makes me feel like I’m Grendel because of how I would answer them.

36

There’s a huge problem with the available answers. Say I’ve beat someone up once, or even twice in 30 years of adulthood. Do I answer that I SOMETIMES beat people up? It just doesn’t work.

As far as education and age, I can’t really see why people would care. It’s not like having a Ph.D. is going to make you any smarter about this stuff (potentially) than a high school diploma would, so social status in this context won’t change.

The education status can be used as a dummy variable to make correlation coefficients between dose usage and socio-economic status. In economic research there have been numerous studies that exactly do the above scenario. This is due to the fact that the salary range is generally not a indicator.

And no you don’t need to have a Ph.D. to know about steroids, but you do need it to construct meaningful demographic regressions, not just for descriptive statistical purposes. Which is evident from the questionnaire’s structure.

38

I meant people wouldn’t care about what their own education was in regards to this forum, meaning they would likely not have motivation to lie about it. I understand the implications in statistical analysis.

    *I need to make note that I am counting military time in a combat zone. If that doesn’t count, mark me as never for all weapon related questions.

On a side note, it is interesting to observe that most admitted AAS users here are well eduacated men over 30. Without knowing you guys in person, on paper it blows away the meathead stereotype.

Guys I appreciate all the responses that have been put forward. However, I got the needed number of responses for my research project. The results were not surprising, the aggression reported by users and non-users was roughly the same. Or in other words too statistically insignificant to justify that there was even a correlation negatively or positively. There were of course probably several people that lied about their past behavior and level of use. Once again though, the project is finished, and I really appreciate everyone who contributed!
