    How are there people out there who don't even know what they're attracted to? Is the npc meme actually real?

      A lot of men deny it.

      It’s more cognitive dissonance than being an npc. Especially for bi men, it can be very hard to get them to recognize that they are attracted to men. They get very attached to the label of “straight” and can’t bear to part with it even when they clearly get aroused by men. After all, they are manly, based and trad, stoic chads and definitely not homosexual and gay. How could they not be straight?

      This is why there are so many people that argue endlessly over whether or not traps are gay. I mean, who fricking cares? Does the physical act of sexo with femboys change if you call it gay or straight?
      Only people who want to convince themselves that they are still straight care about such labels.

        Very well said. There's some mainstream recognition of female bisexuality now, but men still face huge pressure to be either 100% masculine and straight or 100% gay. It's understandable that many guys would deny same-sex attraction in these conditions.
        That was certainly the case for me as a teen. Growing up, everyone around me thought that you are either straight, good, stoic, masculine or gay, bad, hysterical, effeminate. I was a masculine boy but attracted to both genders. So I considered myself straight and repressed hard, denying the extent of my same-sex attraction even to myself. That fricked me up quite a bit with the constant doubt and self-hatred. I thought I am uniquely defective, cursed with a problem nobody else had and nobody could possibly understand.
        Fortunately, in my college years I chanced on an Internet community for bisexual men and discovered that there's a frickton of people like me. Soon after I realized that all these stereotypes are bullshit anyway and don't apply to gay people either. But by then the damage was already done and I was socially behind my peers.

    A few months back I’ve met a bodybuilding coach in a language exchange, we quickly became friends and we lift together regularly, go out for drinks, talk about girls…
    He’s pushing me hard every time and my gains have been great ever since, loving it.

    My gymbro is my childhood best friend, we hangout several times a week and have since we were like 12, were 30 now.

    I’ve been lifting for 5 years and I finally convinced my friend(who was always skinny but had notably good genetics) to come lift with me around 2 years ago, he’s since blew tf up and responded very well

    I cope with him creeping up on my PRs so soon by blaming it on him being ~5 inches shorter than me

    I stayed in my previous gym for about 8 years or so, I got to know one guy. I did say hi and the occasional small talk to other people but he was the only one I held conversations with, talked about diet, routines, exercises.
    In my "new" gym I have no friends.

    I have no friends, gym or otherwise. I hardly talk to anyone, I work where I don't have to talk other than if something happens, i just write paperwork most days and then goto the gym.

    people with gym buddies are annoying
    they gossip like women instead of working out
    might start wearing headphones because of it, it's so distracting trying to break a PR while 2 homos chit-chat and gigle in the rack next to you

    I had a friend who I did starting strength with during our freshman year of college in 2016. We went to a private 24h gym and we would just go in at like 2am when there was no one there and just frick around and hang out and lift. I kinda miss those days sometimes, even though my life is better now

    I meet someone on my first day at a commercial gym and I've never failed to interact with him since. We don't go at the same time usually, so it's not like we hang out every day, but sometimes I can't get a lift in during the day so I go later in the day and he's always been there. He's strong as shit (can ohp 2pl8) but he'll lift lighter with me and give me some advice. Just the other day he taught me some Olympic lifts and other niche lifts, it was pretty cool
