    Fr gym bros tend to be super wholesome to newcomers if you ask for advice. Not all of them, for sure, but I’ve had good luck.

      Absolutely. Everyone started somewhere, vast majority of the time everyone at the gym is rooting for you. And the people who aren’t are probably not worth respecting enough to care at all about their opinion

      it can be scary to talk to strangers at the gym, but I’ve had nothing but good experiences asking for help whether it’s form checks, spotting, asking to work in if the equipment you need is being used (help them load/unload their weight if you do this!), or even asking for help finding some weights or equipment (i wasn’t sure if the gym I was at had 2.5lb plates, asked, dude helped me look between his sets and found some). Of course there are always the occasional assholes, but I think they’re pretty rare, especially if you’re not an asshole first

      Incels

      I’m so sick of how this word has become a slur for any guy that isn’t a “Chad”

      You can barely even approach a woman respectfully without coming off as a creep for having the audacity to approach a woman at all.

      You don’t even have to be ugly you just have to have the wrong “vibe” which means anything other than being a well off attractive man with no hint of emotional baggage.

      This isn’t even a solitary incel talking point it’s even brought up by women about how men no longer approach them.

      Almost like every man who isn’t overly attractive with a well paying job being labeled a “creep” has caused most men to just say “fuck it it’s not worth the effort”

      And you can call me an incel but the statistics don’t lie that men have stopped approaching women because it’s not worth the potential headache

        Incels

        They’ve touched a nerve, have they?

        aproach a women respectfully

        I hear this over and over by the likes of you. What does that even mean? You walk up to random strangers and expect not to come of as a creep? Yeah right…

        statistics don’t lie

        Ah yes all the numbers ans studies you’ve provided lol

        Here is a intreresting fact: Nationwide, 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime. https://www.nsvrc.org/statistics

        I wonder why women might be more carefull…

        Touch some grass, smh

          you walk up to random strangers and expect not to come off as a creep

          Yes. That’s the norm. That’s been the norm. How the fuck else are you supposed to meet people?

          Y’all can wave sexual assault statistics all you want but thinking anyone that approaches you is just a creep only deters people who aren’t creeps.

          All this extra hostility just makes guys who are even slightly insecure (me) just completely nope out entirely.

          But I can sit here and try to explain how I’m not an incel and don’t really have anything in common with most actual incels but this is the Internet and you’ve already made up your mind about me so this whole conversation is pointless.

        Apparently “wigger” means white + n-word. Like for white people who ‘act black’.

        (Just repeating others in the thread, I’ve never heard this word before)

    10 years ago when I started going to the gym I was ugly as fuck. Pimples in my face, fucking 55kg (121 American bullshit), weird face due to fucked up teeth. A buffed dude noticed me in my 2nd week and started to talk to me and asking me to reach his weights for him, spot, etc. He told me that he started skinny AF too and I would grow eventually. I think if it wasn’t for that, I would drop the gym and hate it for the rest of my life.

    Thank you wholesome chads
