Has this happened to you at your gym?
No. Next question.
Yes I workout in my garage and sometimes my neighbor or the Amazon guy will ask something like that
>>75453254Have you considered that they might have a crush on you? How would you react
>>75453261I've let him eat my ass before
>>75453244>parasocial
>>75453254Lester?
>>75453244lol, lmao even. no.
>>75453244No but I will literally be greeted by random people in a forest I see for the first time in my life while hiking, like why does this happen?
>>75453244Kind of. When I was still a cripplingly shy sperg, I wouldn't talk to anyone in the gym, but if I saw them in public outside the gym I would stare at them like when two dogs see each other. Now I'm one of the chatty ones so it would be normal if I walked up to you outside the gym.
>Don't pay attention to any girls>Don't even remember any girls>Only remember the really big guysI am not gay I swear
>>75453411Hiker etiquette
>>75453244A young woman came up to me and asked me to help her figure out the hip thrust machine but she was stumbling over every words, nervous smiling, and looking at the ground only taking brief glances at my eyes. I don’t think she liked me though, I think she’s just new and intimated, maybe anxious or something.Women don’t really talk to me, maybe once every 6 months.
>>75453411its very awkward to see someone walking at you on a path for 30 seconds and try really hard to pretend theyre not there
>>75453254I burp and fart in my garage and neighbours can hear me, I also blast RAC and nazi music
>>75453411Western societies truly are lawless places.
>>75453555whenever a girl asks me to work in I just leave
>>75453244I'm not a faggot, so no, no homo activities have ever happened at the gym. Can you faggots just be faggots in gay bars, Jesus Christ I don't give a fuck if you're gay. The fascination of portraying bedroom characters is beyond mentally ill. Trans are even worse. They're like flaming faggots with doodoo brain and body dysmorohia
>>75453411This: >>75453543Only pajeets and Asians don't seem to get the rules or more likely, they don't care. >>75453558The part I hate is when you both first track each other but we're not in indoor voice distance yet. So we have to look anywhere buy at each other until we're 3 feet apart. Then bam, eyes lock, hey how you doing, good, me too, enjoy your hike as you each keep walking.
>>75453611Weak. I would never alter my workout for a woman
>>75453244kinda, a woman told me on the gym that she had an abortion and some guy told me that he felt miserable because he was taking care of his dying mother.i guess some people just mix small talk with oversharing without noticing it
>>75453244>male pfp>gym crush>himwait a second that fucking homo is a gay faggot
I've gone out on two dates with a gril and I keep having giga-cringe PTSD from all my social faux pas and spaghetti spills.
>>75453244How is asking someone "how has your week been?" seen as a bad thing?
>>75453558you lack autism
>>75453611I work in and fumble my way through. One of these days a chick asked and if I was done with a bar and I dropped all the pasta in italy unloading it to give it to her. I'm not proud of myself.
>>75453411People are easier to remember if they greet you So, it's standard hiking practice in case someone goes missing
>>75453818It really shouldn't be, but phones have had an extremely terrible impact on society and everyone's ability to interact with strangers.
>>75453818Literally asking "how is your week going" is my opening move and it works.
>>75453818It's not, he is forgetting the spaghetti portion.Alternatively some kids have become so pseudo-autistic they are afraid of change when someone new comes to talk to them.
>>75453244No but I matched with some girl on tinder who went to the same gym as me and said she admired my squat depth.
>>75453411hiking paths are usually narrow, so, it's less weird to greet someone while passing them than not.
>>75453818Because zoomers are antisocial freaks who fear normal friendly social interaction
>>75454424t. old guy who comments on pictures of girls half his age saying "youre so beautiful"
>>75453705Men would be happier if they admitted their crushes on other men
>>75454445I'm a zoomie too, when I was in college the people in the library would have panic attacks when I'd ask if I could sit by them, and talking to women outside of a dedicated social setting made them quiver in fear half the time. Even now >50% of zoomers don't even return a nod or a "hello" or thank me for holding a door for them.>inb4 w-well YOU'RE the problem!Gf haver + White + immaculate hygiene + I'm stronger faster and smarter than (You), young people are just hella weird and lame these days. I blame social media.
>>75453818it is a crime if you are gross
>>75454309>admiredgtfo outsider
>>75453244This is me. I will talk to him tonight I swear
>>75456321I'm not going to be in the gym today. I'm banging the slut that actually approached me instead.
>>75456336You’re always there nerd dont lie
>>75453631Bullshit. Greeting people on trails is the norm in japan too.t. Lived like 45 mins train ride from a mountain with trails in tokyo and went regularly
>>75456412Omg he wasn’t there :’(
>>75454805+ Still water + lithuanian respect moments + those who know: + moroccan stock market
>>75453818>How is asking someone "how has your week been?" seen as a bad thing?You sound like a sex pest, I hope you have an ankle monitor.
>>75453411You have to embrace the cringe and make the interaction as uncomfortable as possible without actually breaking any social boundaries by saying something like “Hiking hard or hardly hiking? Hahaha”
>>75453411They're hoping you're actually a bear in a human disguise. Much safer to come across a bear you see. If you say hi back they will run screaming, however if you roar and them and strike them to the ground and rip their flesh from bone while they lie screaming and crying and slowly bleeding out, then they will feel safe.But seriously, it was so easy to tell none of those dumb histrionic cunts in the man or bear thing have never actually gone into the wilderness. You see people out hiking all the time and just say hi and carry on, even in the most remote parts of New Zealand I only know of a couple of trails where you aren't likely to see another person.
>>75456799>trailslol fuking casulgit gud
>>75454102That’s crazy so many people experienced this, I’ve never once had a woman try to work in with me after lifting for 9 years. I guess it’s because I don’t do feminine exercise or I use too much weight for it to make sense. Also I’m kinda tall so even working in on machines wouldn’t make much sense either.
>>75456790I have not laughed this hard at a post for a very long time.>>75456807I mean I go straight bush occasionally but it's easy to get lost or get stuck and need to backtrack, since I don't hunt it's not really worth the hassle.
>>75453614Most men are attracted to other men. Specially the ones that are obsessed about looks and spend time on fitness forums
>>75456810I was doing reverse curls on a shorter adjustable bar and she wanted to do RDL or whatever. Older women sometimes will also ask to work in on shit life calf raises, but that's about it.I guess because it's so rare it threw me off desu. I've been going to the same gym for like two years with this particular girl there and that was the first time we interacted.
Nice threadHire a hooker and get laid so maybe you can stfu about pussy. I'm so tired of all the /r9k/ tier posting on this board.
>>75453818It is pretty weird when you haven't even talked to them before.
>>75453818it implies that you have somehow know about previous weeks, and you are looking for an update on this particular week>>75454246this works because you arent assuming anything about previous weeks, much more present and in the momentits a very slight nuance in language but one you should spot after thinkgen about it for more than 2 seconds
>>75453631This screenshot is wild
>>75459310Fuck off
>>75456790
>>75453631lmao that screencap
>>75453244I don't understand this picture at all. Male profile, crush is a "him", picture is of a female in a diner. And why would this get so many likes?
>>75453411please get mauled by a bear faggot
>>75453354Wow, Prime is really good where you are.
>>75461011shit wrong thread.
>>75453818if a guy asked me that I would kick his assIt's NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS
>>75453555a woman who always gave me intense eye contact asked me to help strap her into the glute drive machine, some cougar cock blocked me by stepping in as I was about to strap her in and offered to do it herselfannoying
>>75453555>Women don’t really talk to mewe know you get ignored
>>75461895You thought you really did something there, huh?
>>75453244Home gym masterrace so no but I have frequently imagined my caveman ancestors angrily grunting at me for being a pussy
>>75453411it's called being friendly
>>75453244Despite going to the gym damn near every day around the same time, I've yet to find a singular girl as a "gym crush". Most of the time I don't recognize anyone besides the staff.
>>75456790Hahaha this guy gets it. I literally say the most stupid shit as a joke but people always take me seriously since they don't get I'm being a faggot. "How about that weather huh?"
>>75456790i usually go "SEEN ANY ELVES? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA", works like a charm.unless they're actually elves, in that case use something less offensive.
>>75453244I too have a crush on Ziggy Stardust.
>>75453244A random girl once gave me a fist bump after I finished a set of cable crunches.
>>75460889It might be one of those gays.
>>75466794>A random girl once gave me a fist bump after I finished a set of cable crunches.*A fat girl once gave me a fist bump after I finished a set of cable crunches.
>>75453597I usually listen to EDM in my garage when I lift. Gets me really pumped for some reason.
>>75461056Cougar wants your d.
>>75453244Do you guys actually talk to people at the gym? I've been going for 2 months now and the only interaction was one fella asking how many reps I had left on the pec deck. Nice fella, even gave me a fistbump as well.
>>75468517most of time it's mainly asking how long someone is using x equipment, asking to work in or explaining what "working in" means to dyels. there is a group of regulars that chat with each other entire time they are resting. apparently it used to be a smaller community gym before franchise bought it so they are old regulars from that time. some times they've couple of them have tried to chat me up but I just tend to keep minding my own business after polite nod or saying hi or answering whatever they ask. I can't be arsed to come out of my headspace for chitchat. I'm not going to gym to make friends. most I've talked at gym was when I asked to work in with some newbie arab kid (we were both waiting for the same bench at that gym) and he wouldn't stop yapping. legit kept going for 30min asking me shit about training and what not.
Only dyels ask if they can work in
>>75453244>I had a normal conversation with a stranger omg I'm so quirky
>>75468517There's an old guy named Bill I chat with regularly. He seems to chat with a lot of folks.
>>75456790That's brilliant but you will never outcringe an old hiker.Get ready for some clapback if start a cringe off with the wrong old sod
I saw my gym crush once at target. I said hello to her and she screamed and visibly jumped. Saw her staring at me later in the week at the gym.How did I not see it bros, she's my gym Nemesis. I have to out lift her.
>>75454665I HAVE A CRUSH ON CBUM AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS
>>75468517I chat with people in the Sauna. There's something about those Sauna talks that just hit the spot. You need a full sauna to have some conversations going
>>75456790>Hiking hard or hardly hikinI'M FUCKING CRYING HOLY SHIT
>>75472012>she screamed and visibly jumpedIt was out of excitement and you just misinterpreted it. She's yours.
>>75472408It's too late Anon, I have a new gym crush who is also out of my league. I will do it the german way and stare at her until she acknowledges me.
>>75472036Everytime I've been in the sauna it's ex military men chatting in there and trading stories. It's comfy.
>>75453411etiquette
>>75456790>Hahaha
I recognize people but I rarely talk to them
