“A girl can talk about my nose, my teeth or my accent - anything that gets a conversation going is fine with me. It is weird, though, the way women respond to my body. Maybe 50 percent respond positively right away, while another 25 or 30 percent need a while to adjust to my size and to realize that ordinarily my muscles are soft, just like anyone's, only bigger.” WayNeedsBodyGirlRealizingFineConversationPercentBiggerSizeTeethNosesMusclesAccentsPositively Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
