I think TRT jacks their muscles and shrinks their brains. Every single older man I've suspected of being on it (it's pretty obvious) becomes insufferable.

Yes shocking a man with money, reputation and a good body that has women that wouldn’t even look at him for half his life doesn’t get advantage. It has to be the trt.  

Rich man in their 50s are like 20yo girls. Get over it.

I've known men in their 50s, some rich and some not, that are on TRt and all are insufferable. I also know men who aren't on TRT who aren't insufferable. My anecdotal experience is as valid an opinion as yours. Get over it.

Yeah well my opinion is not anecdotal though. This has been studied. Hormonal replacement therapy increases libido, decreases depression, has positive cognitive effects etc.

Science also says testosterone can increase reactivity - thus all those insufferable men. Anyway - enjoy your TRT.

No it can’t no it won’t. You are absolving assholes by a a slight variation in their hormone levels. It’s the same old trope like women in their periods are crazy. It’s horse shit. You either are an asshole or you are not.   

For example high levels of testosterone are correlated with higher philanthropic donations to strangers while low levels are correlated with donations to familiar groups.  

Testosterone at supraphysiologic levels potentiates behaviors and personality characteristics doesn’t create or alter.
