Both men and women. Is it to do with the way they smile/pose for the camera or something? Seriously, I can almost tell someone is American by the way their neck looks in a photo

    Guessing football and wrestling in high school, growth hormones in their meat, and an element of obesity. These are all guesses though, not shitting on the yanks.

      When i was 16, two of my friends went to study in america for a year or so. They went individually and didn’t know eachother. One of them cam back obese and the other one was shredded and gained like 20kg.

        I had a French roommate that put on 20 lbs while on a three month tourist visa. He was actually pretty skinny but he was nervous about flying back because he knew his friends/family would give him shit for putting on so much weight.

        At the same time, in his last few weeks he wanted to hit every burger joint he could before leaving. He even tried Mountain Dew just because vegetable bromide is illegal there.

      This is me. Competitive swimming and wrestling as a youth, along with many years of rock climbing.

      My upper back and neck is disproportionately larger than my lower torso and legs.
