The Danish experience has been my experience at home as a Bong. Is it just me? The only people I've spoken to in the gym are people I started convos with (mainly girls I wanted to frick).
The only convo I’ve ever had in the gym outside of “are you finished” or “are you using this bench?” was a random black guy telling me “hey man, you’re doing a great job” as I was finishing my bench set.
it turns out he was just going around and telling everyone that.
🙁
I will try to work out away from thots. At small country gyms I made friends to the point I stopped paying my membership and the owner didn't care since we're now mates.
We don't socialize anywhere else either (stores, bus stop, outside)other than socialize on work where (at least me) I make offensive racist jokes with some boomers. Why change something that's nice and peaceful? I'll also die solving stuff myself rather than call an ambulance or the police.

saying more than "hi" to them instantly causes a chain reaction of absolute boredom since I don't care about them and what's happening in their lives, they have nothing interesting to contribute to my life so why would I ever choose to willingly interact with my coworkers?

Most of the guys are friendly. There's a few hardcore people but my gym doesn't have frick boys who wear wife beaters / backwards hats.
Unless you are the most attractive guy there, you're invisible to girls. They're only there to chase Chad. That's their main motive for doing everything they do. Their entire life aged 16-35 is an attempt to get that individuals attention.
We had a new girl join this week who immediately attached herself to the Chad of the gym. She only goes to classes with him, follows him around everywhere. Chad is married and his wife goes here and is even hotter than her.
>moron doesn't stop talking >try to be polite >still doesn't stop talking >eventually move on from polite tolerance to full on ignore while doing other things >moron fricks off
No better feeling.
Plenty of introverts aren't socially awkward, anxiety riddled, autistic, whatever.
They just don't want to talk in situations they derive zero pleasure interacting with complete strangers. It's not the 1950s anymore. You're not being friendly at the checkout line doing us both a favor to kill time when you try to chit chat, so much as being an intrusive prick interrupting the film, music, people I already know and like that I'm texting, etc.
It's not hard for me to talk, it's hard for you to compete for attention with inane bullshit if you're not a girl I want to frick, there's some legitimately weird shit happening near us to comment on, some coincidence like us both wearing a shirt with the same band or something to establish common interest, or whatever. Minding my own business is polite by default. Don't put me in a situation to be impolite if you find my ignoring your weak conversation rude.
i hate people who think that "their way" is the right way. If people preferred it otherwise, then they'd do it. Not every culture is the same or wants to be the same.
If you're from a chad culture like me (brazilian) that's how you feel basically everywhere, everyone seems cold and autistic in comparison, it's funny to me that he's mentioning the UK positively for comparison because that's literally how I felt there
>If people preferred it otherwise, then they'd do it
It's not like it's easy to break cultural conditioning, you face social resistance and you don't necessarily know how to behave differently from the get go. White people try to mimic other, more extroverted cultures all the time, they just fail at it because their upbringing has made them fundamentally socially inept
The hotter the country the warmer the personality, and viceversa.
Sounds stupid but thats the way it works.
Latinas are the best lovers while east europeans are frigid b***hes
The more often I go somewhere, the less I want to socialize with people I see there regularly because it sets a precedent that they can waste my time whenever they see me.
I'm at the gym to workout and I'm on a tight schedule (I time my breaks inbetween sets)
Don't fricking talk to me
Sometimes I even put in headphones with no music, just so people won't bother me
Nordics are cringe when talking about history. They have nothing to speak off. No ancient civilization like Greece, the Chinese, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Indians, or Egyptians.
This is true though. Scandinavia has zero ancient history. While the Sumerians were doing advanced math, nordics were livings in mudhuts and digging holes in the ground.
Fast forward a few thousand years and they're traveling the'yre spreading and expanding over the whole world, while the "sumerians" are basically just Black folk
This is true though. Scandinavia has zero ancient history. While the Sumerians were doing advanced math, nordics were livings in mudhuts and digging holes in the ground.
Success in what, lgbt society?
Denmark is the biggest sperm donor exporter per capita. Your brown women want babies with fair skin and double eyelids. Also Nords contributed more to science and technology than those shithole countries.
Notice how defensive anons are of their autistic behaviors here, and keep that in mind when later today you see a thread about loneliness full of: >making friends after college is impossible! >i've given up socializing! >i just don't know where to meet women! >i just have to accept my fate as a pathetic loner! >if you don't have a group of friends from school it's over!
And all the rest of the usual whining you get from this board.
The human mind can hold a lot of contradictory notions together, never connecting them so as to not expose the incongruities.
Why is the onus always on me to initiate and talk to people?
I've spend literally thousands upon thousands of hours in public places surrounded by other people, do you know how many people have approached me for the sake of starting a conversation? 0. The only time anyone approaches me is either a homeless person asking for money or someone asking for directions
Is this normal? Do I just give off creepy/unapproachable vibes?
>live in a very social part of burgerland >lift in the dead of night with all the other ghouls and freaks >zero conversation, just bitterness and lifting
Same. I hate having weak gays clog up my gym and love going at midnight when I get off work. Just one or two people in there normally with some big black dude that practically lives there. Mother fricker always has a whole ass setup with a cooler and everything and is in there for hours doing a powershitter routine
It's not just in the gym. Scandis are incredibly autistic, especially in the big cities. I used to be fine with it before having experienced nothing else, but after living abroad for a while I dislike it.
I live in Germany and no one interacts with me unless they ask me about how many sets I do
I see others interacting with eachother occasionally
Maybe they are more approachable? Dunno what I'm doing wrong
>homegym
My dog lays in the floor nearby and I talk to him about all sorts of stuff while lifting
I also call him a fat lazy moron and make fun of his DYEL status in between sets
I don't get the criticism. Are you all women who need smiles and social interaction from randoms? We make friends in grade school, high school and university then don't befriend people after that. From age 22 to death we interact with the same people.
it's a different kind of social here >no one talking to strangers >IF they talk to strangers they're unconditionally helpful >but you won't ever break out of polite acquaintance mode unless you met at school/work
whenever i hear about "mogging" and people sperging obnoxiously with the weights (more than you simply do from lifting heavy) it's so strange, just doesn't belong here
being in shape is your
but just like anywhere else the closer you get to the capital the more people live and behave like fatherless homosexuals, so that's bound to contribute to the br*t's warped perception
The social stigma against meatspace interactions is legitimately the most depressing and dystopian aspect of my life on earth. It’s not longer socially acceptable to talk to the people you see everyday and breathe the same air with. Only if it’s mediated by some mega corporations using AI to sort you into neat cohorts is interaction allowed. Truly bleak
Yes. Smartphones and the internet are to blame. I'm old enough to remember the before times. When you were out somewhere you interacted with the other people there, because what's the alternative? Much more social times.
Social media and such are the most anti-social bullshit to come about probably in all of human history.
>ignore the heck out each others existence
I hope some big Dane gives that söylapidated reddit homosexual the attention he so wantonly craves by stabbing him in the liver.
31-y-o boomer who got back into lifting last year. I don't know if it's corona-chan making everybody autistic or the rise of the goyphone, but I remember my gym being a tad friendlier when I was 18. Maybe it's just me getting old and less approchable.
Gymceling is an inherently autistic activity anyway. We're all confined to our autistic bubbles and people are like summer gnats that get in the way. Gym buddies are a mixed bag and a good deal of the time they just get in the way of what could have been a seamless workout.
I live in Sweden and I made like 3 friends and six or seven acquaintance in about a year. Mostly other regulars. I regularly talk to a guy. At the previous gym, I talked to 3 or 4 people. I went there for about a year too.
Just say hi once in a while and people start being friendly
I think I found my people. Socializers at the gym piss me off. What is it about lifting heavy weights and sweating like a pig while out of breath that invites small talk? Just frick off and mind your own business unless you're an 8/10 or above gym thot, in which case I will allow you a free mire. I get enough forced socialization with people i dont care about at work.
not really, its annoying when youre in the middle of something and some random starts talking to you. especially when its some old boomer homosexual, those are the worst and they always try to drone on about stupid garbage. people my age are alright and can understand if i want to talk or not
>nobody dares make eye contact unless they think you're trying to pick them up
I wouldn't make eye contact with other people if that meant they would try and pick me up too tbh.
Swede here, I only really talk to people when they ask me for advice which happens from time to time. I used to be the scrawny shit who was given unsolicited advice from skinny fat arab manlets, now I'm the one people come to for advice. But yeah if you're gonna come up and make random small talk with me about random shit while I'm busring my ass off I'm just gonna assume you're weird.
I don't seek out other people at gym unless I want/need something from them, and usually always have a friendly chat with them.
I don't expect people to seek me out unless they want/need something from me, and I usually happily oblige if I can.
I'm there to work out and get my lifts done.
Yeah.
I go to the gym around 2-3 in the morning where there is a buff manlet who works as security in the only soapland in town, met him through a half-American friend who manages the soapland, so now that we're acquainted we've become gym buddies.
It's nice, he helped me re-rack my 2pl8 incline after I failed a set.
>Ukrainians are honorary Nordics
all slavs are silent as frick. Dont believe the memes, slavs are 99% silent, and once in a while they go into cyka blyat overdrive
The problem is if you talk to someone 1 time, then you end up having to talk to them a billion times, its just not worth it.
Now imagine you did this with 10-15+ people at your gym? Its basically over for you at that time, you're now forced to interact with people constantly purely based on previous social engagement..
Ive got myself into that position one time, and I had to change gyms because of it, I basically hit a point where I was constantly being interrupted in my workout having to catch up with people, sure my social skills sky-rocketed at that time, but that wasn't the frick point of me going to the gym, I want to lift, get a pump, look ripped, etc, I never intended the gym to be a social club
I dont make eye contact with anyone at my gym, at the very most I'll ask in an really autistic blunt tone how many sets they have left, and thats it. I dont give a frick if I see the same person 1,000 times at the gym im not saying shit to them anymore, that period of my life is in the past now, and id like to leave it there.
Yes, but only because this b***h comes to interrupt me with her kid in tow what feels like every time I'm there at this point. Anyway, home gym master race.
I don't talk to anyone in the gym aside from wondering if they're done with specific equipment. I put in my earphones, turn on the Ruizi, and focus on my routine. I got like max 1hr to 1h15 to work out, so I don't have time to chat with people. Nor the will to.
I've had people talk to me though, I have a generic square face, so people come up to me from time to time to ask if my name is "insert random name", or if I'm so-and-so's brother or cousin, because we look a lot alike. I've had one dude tell me my "physique was amazing", then I never saw him again.
But yeah, I'm not into talking to people I don't want to talk to.

Never spoken to one of them

I've lived around Europe (Sweden, Germany, Switzerland)
Northern Europeans are generally autistic. I've drawn a neat map to illustrate. Bongs are the exception for some reason, but they are very ugly.
>germany

and Im saying it as a slav
>binland & karelia
ebin :DDDD garelia bag :DDD one boddle a dime :DDD
I lived in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Sweden.
everything north of Italy is pure autism. boring af
forgot I now live in UK, which I also found incredibly reserved and boring
why don’t you go back to Morocco finally?
you wish. I do whatever the frick I want and you can't do shit
you don't seem very happy
What constitutes as not boring?
being able to say more than "hi" to colleagues you see every day for years would be a minimum
saying more than "hi" to them instantly causes a chain reaction of absolute boredom since I don't care about them and what's happening in their lives, they have nothing interesting to contribute to my life so why would I ever choose to willingly interact with my coworkers?
This homie projecting hard. Tell us your interesting life, oh great IST browser.
pretty much this Uncle Ted was right the over socialized plebs are cancer to sanity
Literally me
I must find my people
Most of the guys are friendly. There's a few hardcore people but my gym doesn't have frick boys who wear wife beaters / backwards hats.

I fricking hate extroverts
We hate you too you socially inept taint
Jk but seriously is it that hard to talk to people?
I have zero issue talking to people, I just can't stand those who don't shut the frick up and need permanent social interaction
You seem to be confusing extroverts with narcissists
and you seem to be confusing a need for social validation with narcissism.
I love pissing you folk off.

I always give the eye to the good looking guy on the other side of the gym, but then again I homegym and that's a mirror.
You can be friendly and helpful while also not being chatty/wasting people's time. That's what I do at least.
I bet that guy is a pajeet.

This is true though. Scandinavia has zero ancient history. While the Sumerians were doing advanced math, nordics were livings in mudhuts and digging holes in the ground.
And who's living in mudhuts now?

1. Norway
2. Iceland

And the jump from 3 to 4 is large
Finland just doesn’t go on the list then?
Fast forward a few thousand years and they're traveling the'yre spreading and expanding over the whole world, while the "sumerians" are basically just Black folk
Name one Sumerian Nobel Prize winner
My point is that no ones stays on top forever. Scandinavia will fall very soon, due to rampant hedonism and lack of morals/tradition.
More like due to getting invaded by illiterate goat herders
Yeah and now Denmark is a paradise and former Sumer is a total dump
your point?
Denmark is the biggest sperm donor exporter per capita. Your brown women want babies with fair skin and double eyelids. Also Nords contributed more to science and technology than those shithole countries.
I interact with people all the time.
>don't go to the gym to socialize

That's the principle, yeah, but actually doing it to that degree is fricking autistic

But yeah, I'm not into talking to people I don't want to talk to.
I only talk to people if its a group fitness class, and half the time it’s “What do we do next?”
