Meatheads

Meatheads are guys who realized at some point in time that their most attractive trait was that they were physically strong or excelled at one particular sport. In high school these traits will probably put you in the more popular crowd.

However, as they get older they cling to those traits and fail to develop other skills that help them blend well with their more mature surroundings. In college they probably play a sport but not well enough to make a career of it and that frustration forces them to do idiotic things. The list of these is endless but probably begins with throwing a sofa or chair out a dorm window. It may even include things like breaking elevators or stealing large objects from public places. In college that is borderline acceptable.

In the adult world these guys really stick out. They will never totally excel in business as they probably didn't spend enough time studying in college and their competitive nature makes them confrontational. A difficult mix if you don't always know the answer. I'm sure you know a guy at the office who thinks he's bright and widely liked (because he was in his formative years) but really is neither.

This guy is not a bad guy and can often be fun at parties. However, he is a meathead or simply, a "meat."
