How can I make friends at the gym? I am a lonely person but I am very passionate about working out. It seems pretty common with guys my age. Male friendship is under attack by insane culture. How would you approach making friends at the gym?
>>76602800got to know my gym bro by just asking if i could work in with him on a machine. being reasonably big helps a lot when making gym friends
>>76602800have a short conversation when youre in close proximity with people and see where it goes from therelike when someones waiting for you to finish offer to let them work inmaybe mention a few things about your workout and see how they respondif you see someone with a cool shirt compliment it or ask where they got itif you and the peson next to you are resting between workouts maybe comment on your workout or something in the environment (I love coming at this time its not so crazy like it usually is after work!... Man I havent done legs in weeks I feel like I'm gonna pass out... Bro I don't know how you can do so many pullups I feel like my hands are gonna fall off when i do them...Or when talking to a girl "why are you working out? you are already beautiful, are you trying to be an athlete? whatever u do dont try to correct peoples form and shit i actually hate the gym i go to rn because its not very social and its hella crowded. theres a buncha high school kids and zoomer that go there in groups. And the crowded environment creates pressure to hurry up and get your workout in and leave.ok my main tips for making friends at the gym1. go at a consistent time and day so you see who the regulars are and they see you. opt for times that are less busy so that theres less distraction and pressure. 2. get cool with the staff because the staff is usually cool with the members too3. pick a gym that has a nice environment for you. some gyms are more social than others, or have different members youll vibe with more. 4. if you take a class, take the same one consistency so you get to know people over time
>>76602800Do you look like shit, whats your age? Typically people after a certain age have no friends for a reason, did you have friends in school or were you bullied or ignored? I had people come up in school to talk to my friends group and they wouldn't fuck off when we were making it pretty clear that we didn't want them around, which is typically for socially inept retards. Its really the same with girls, if your personalities don't click then it won't really work.
>>76603080This is helpful my gym is very friendly and it’s a good mix of boomers and people my age in their 20’s. It’s packed every time other than when I go around 7:30-8 AM. As I lift a bit more some of the bigger dudes are even throwing me mires and saying hey. The staff is also pretty cool I did pull out of a personal training contract with one of the sales girls but the front desk guy is super cool with me. >>76603174You sound like a real NPC cunt who derives his entire sense of self worth from the gay public school social hierarchy. It’s the only superiority you ever felt so you won’t let anyone forget it. I skipped school a lot, I made plenty of good friends at work and just around, had girlfriends and unforgettable times, and still ended up very successful in career and schooling. You grow up, you lose touch, it’s whatever. I’m over 6 foot and very handsome. I’m 25 and have friends, just want to make some I can work out with, you cunt.
>>76602800>>76602902Careful. Your new gym bro might think ur gay and try to fuck your ass
I just go up to woman and critique their form
>>76603461How do they react?
>>76603461Unironically got my first gf by doing this.
>>766028001) The TV; if you're into sports you can start talking about whatever game2) Shirts; talk about the band or college or pro team of the shirt the dude is wearing3) Just time; friendship comes naturally at smaller gyms when you see the same dudes over and over
>>76602800Hang out with your siblings friends or cousins friends
>>76602800Are there any twinks to fuck
>>76602800Have you tried making fun of other people or insulting one another? Works for me.
>>76602800People are trying to be friendly to me at the gym but I'm depressed and my mind wanders off. I have also extremely low iq and I'm a virgin.
>>76602800I can easily overpower and ass-rape their little tight white assholes
>>76602800Ask others for help or advice if you need it.Give advice and help to others if they ask you for it.Simple as that, really.
>>76602800getting friends at the gym doesn't work if you are at one of those soulless places where people don't interact and just workout with headphones and look at the ground their whole visit. you have to go to a more old school place where they have a couches for people to eat food and hangout before or after their workout.
>>76602800Get amoniac salts pot and replace the contents with cocaine. Pass it around the gym. Profit
>>76602800Just download Grindr, it'll keep you from wasting time with straight guys that just want to work out.
>>76603417>I’m over 6 foot and very handsome. You're a giant faggot, go touch grass incel.
>>76604840If I were to swing that way it’d have to be with a curious straight guy not with some hiv positive cum dump who takes 30 dicks a week
>>76602800I do not make companionships with other human beings. The road I walk is carved by my own steps - a path no one else can follow. To initiate such interactions with other living souls would divert me from my purpose, my goals, and my higher self.
>>76604947In layman's terms, if grug speak to other grugs, grug no get strong. Grug becomes weak. Grug gets bullied. Grug is not going to make it.
Hey OP hope it works out for you wouldn't mind making some gym friends myself. So far I've just been keeping an eye on who the regulars are, and who looks cool/friendly. >>76603080>"why are you working out? you are already beautiful, are you trying to be an athlete?"holy kek that's not how we talk in the west saar
I thought I made a friend one time.>Jacked squirrely looking dude sees me benching 315>I can tell he’s looking at me>Next week, walks up to me and asks to work in>Dude is close to benching 315 but is a spaz and doesn’t allow time for rest>Turns out he’s a personal trainer>The following months, bombards my IG bugging me>Asks what my goals are like it actually fucking matters if you’re not competing>Ignore him and never see him in the gym again TL;DRTrainers are faggots and most people only will talk to you if they can get something out of you.
>>76605076That’s just a salesman dude is desperate for clients.
>>76605076>Trainers are faggots and most people only will talk to you if they can get something out of you.I was in psychiatric hospital and people talked to me to have fun and conversation, not to get something from me - I didn't have anything anyway.I recommend visiting psychiatric hospital.When I was in prison, it was similar, people talked for fun.
>>76603080>Or when talking to a girl "why are you working out? you are already beautiful, are you trying to be an athlete?This is cringe and will never ever work unless the woman in question has already signaled that she likes you.
>>76606014If you are not attractive to a female, she will not talk with you anyway, she will treat you like devil.
i tried talking to some guys in my apartment gym but they seem unbelievably adverse to social interaction. Like they'd be struggling to bench a plate and whenever I offer to spot they just decline. Most of the time I have to save them from a fail anyways. Zoom zooms would rather listen to music and yell some schizo motivational shit to themselves than talk to another person (yes Ive seen this happen multiple times)
>>76606187I’m a zoom zoom I think it’s just the coddling and sheer anxiety. Zoomers were taught that anybody you haven’t known for ten years is a molester.
