except for some few wankers, gym is a awesome place for male socialization. people mostly help, encourage and assist with your journey, for free.

Middle-Fuel-6402@reddit

Yeah, in 15 years I’ve had only one slightly negative experience. (And the angry dude was definitely not Chad). Everyone is friendly and supportive.

[-]

fandorgaming@reddit

Quite a lot of angry people in gym, they scream on each rep and looks like they'd get into a fight really fast with how unrespectable they're talking

[-]

the only people i had horrible experience with were 50yo perverts and betas who ego lifts just to impress women. other than that, most of them are decent. probably because they understand the journey and the reason why you are in the gym.

Also from my experience most of the hardcode gym peeps are nerds. I wear my anime/gaming tees at the gym and every massive dude, or woman with 20 plates on her hip talk to me about the shirt I have.

People tracking their work outs and macros to the gram tend to be more nerdy. I’ve made entire raid groups in destiny from the gym; I have a friend now and we trade manga, she’s put me on too some good shit too.

All this while I’m just a chubby dude that lifts to stay somewhat healthy.

Gym is my safe space.

A good number of the biggest dudes at my gyms are engineers. These guys are powerlifters or bodybuilders, many of the bodybuilders have their IFBB pro cards and compete in Classic Physique or Open. It makes sense. It’s very numbers driven.

i had a math professor who was a power lifer

So this story is decidedly neutral in this quite red/blue pill topic but I think it's pretty funny.

I signed up at one of the bigger chains in London, Puregym, and thought I'd start off with this induction course. Thought it would just be explaining how lockers work, etiquette, classes etc. So I show up in a baggy tshirt, thick cotton shorts, skating trainers, and he's like okay we're gonna do a little circuit! It's me and one other dude. We're like throwing a medicine ball around, squats star jumps shit I was not prepared for.

But the way I am, especially when it's an organised activity, I'm suddenly having a lot of fun and I fucking throw myself into it. I realise halfway through the normal people on just treadmills and ellipticals are watching intently, like not smirking or judgemental but I have to imagine they were thinking this guys nuts. I can picture one attractive woman and thinking how do i ever follow this performance up as a person. Meanwhile the other guy just disappeared, possibly embarrassed by the office team retreat level of energy that is now in our group.

Anyway, gets to the end, a different guy tries to sell me PT. I go yeah definitely I'll think about it. Never go back to the gym

The only time I get negative in the gym, is when all the quad extension machines have a like of 4 people

THELEGENDARYZWARRIOR@reddit

This, I greet 10+ people a gym session, I know 2 names, I been told all their names just forgotten it

Impossible-Pizza982@reddit

Is he Chad because he looks good, or does he look good because he is Chad.

[-]

nedovolnoe_sopenie@reddit

in general, strong people just want everyone to be strong

so that's kind of expected

they also are usually disciplined which naturally leads to chadness

it's that simple really

BamaBlcksnek@reddit

Apparently felonies radiate.

[-]

super_landrum@reddit

What do you mean?

[-]

BamaBlcksnek@reddit

I mean women love to date "bad boys." Nice guys finish last isn't a saying for no reason. I've tried it both ways and being respectful and nice has never gotten me anywhere.

[-]

TheYeast1@reddit

They’re probably talking about Jeremy Meeks, was a felony in prison on gun charges but was so attractive he got a modeling career off his mugshot. He also dated a British heiress shortly after getting out. He himself says he got hundreds of letters full of nudes, money, etc just because his mugshot went viral.

[-]

MrBlueW@reddit

More than likely a boy like you saying that is a good indication that you do not in fact have a good soul.

[-]

Exhil69@reddit

Yea bro, youre right. My women joke (which is overplayed in this sub) makes me literally Hitler.

[-]

Secure_Narwhal4045@reddit

Some people like bitter, nobody likes overly bitter

[-]

IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE@reddit

There’s a lot of bad between “good soul” and “Hitler”. You’re probably not Hitler. But you’re probably not as nice as you think either.

ImportantResponse0@reddit

And maybe neither a good face.

But is he fake?

Middle-Fuel-6402@reddit

Unrelated observation: I’ve noticed that when my intended machine gets taken by Chad, he’s done in 5 minutes and I go next. Skinny beginner or older woman sits down, and is there 30 mins later checking his/her phone, doing one set every 5-10 minutes.

[-]

The_Bloofy_Bullshark@reddit

We had a guy at my old gym who used to just sit on the pec deck machine, chew on an unlit cigar and yell into his phone (on speakerphone). I don’t think I ever saw a single rep performed.

[-]

Middle-Fuel-6402@reddit

Haha what a character!

[-]

The_Bloofy_Bullshark@reddit

Guy would legit get pissed if someone asked to use the machine. It was pretty funny to watch.

> Can’t you see that I’m on it?

Place was wild. At another point in time there was a couple there who were covered in track marks and would make out in between sets on the lat pulldown machine. Full on straddling each other.

Commercial gyms are wild. There’s some lady who I guess lives in her car and does extremely sexualized pelvic thrust workouts. Like that’s all she fucking does. Also wears bandaids or something on her cheeks under her eyes like Nelly did back in the day. But yeah, climbs on machines and does these really sexual pelvic thrust motions.

[-]

bartardbusinessman@reddit

Got some similar characters at mine. Old Botox lady who wears basically a bikini with high heels and just catwalks in front of mirrors, sometimes moves a dumbbell around. "Pickme" girl who does this overblown full body workout classes on her phone dead in the middle of the gym, but brings her own floor mat and weights. Old dude who only ever does these very odd hammer curls where he's like dancing as he does it, then crouched down shadow boxes all around the gym. Looks very funny but in fairness he's jacked as fuck

[-]

My biggest gym pet peeve. Check your phone somewhere else, get out of the fucking machine!

maniacreturns@reddit

I know it's a meme but most of the roid users are actually gentle giants.

They take that shit to make up for insecurites they have about themselves.

[-]

bartardbusinessman@reddit

True, but there are also many who deflect from those insecurities with macho aggression. Often a coin flip

Getting adopted by a knowledgeable gym bro got me into the best shape of my life years ago. It’s like the gym equivalent of when an extrovert adopts an introvert.

Undoubtedly the realest of outcums.

Undeniably heterosexual because it's not gay to have such strong make companionship.

Fellas, is it gay to fuck your homie in the ass goodnight?
