She's 100% correct. You go to a club on a regular basis with a ton of people who want to make themselves look more attractive by doing the same hobby you're doing. Autists and redditors can seethe all they want, I don't think there's a single place where it's easier for me to make friends than the weight room. Still prefer bars to get girls, but the gym is probably a distant second place
nice bait but one place is there two show off how you attractive are with the expectation of being approached whereas the other is there to work on how attractive you are with zero expectation of being approached (I'll let you figure out which is which dummy)
>the expectation of being approached
If you're a guy your expectation of this should be 0 regardless of where you are lmao
It's not to say women don't show they're interested in you, it's just that women have terrible game so the ways they show they're interested in you are pants-on-head moronic
I came up to a guy in the gym and he immediately started rambling about his gf and then I was like aww you're cute you two must be a cute couple where is she? Then suddenly she was his crazy ex or something. I immediately physically ghosted him just pretended he was invisible and left. 0/10 will never approach a short king again
Yeah the zero expectation is kinda true because guys do not randomly get approached, ever. And if you do well it was definitely not expected, lol.
Honestly gym is probably the next place right after a bar as the best place to make friends, female or male. I have been lifting for 10 years and made zero friends but that's because it's my own choice. I purposefully zone out and want to be alone but I could easily go ahead and start bantering with 5+ different guys that I've seen frequenting the gym same time as me and it would be extremely normal and socially acceptable.
And the same goes for women. It would be incredibly natural to start talking, ask about how her lifting is going, goals etc. ask if you could workout with her and maybe do it again next time you are training same shit. People who go to the gym usually have a type, and it's other people that go to the gym. It's definitely a common denominator and something that bonds you together.
The only downside of this vs bar is that if you don't hit it together at all and it comes out as awkward then you have shit where you eat and it may be uncomfortable to train at the same time in the future with her.
I go to the gym to be stronger and faster, I wear my most tattered clothes to it because I'm showering as soon as I get home, why don't you twinks stop pretending and just go to bars already? You're cluttering up the benches
The gym is not a normal place to meet people. You have to go out of your way to do it and it will always be awkward. How many couples do you know who met at the gym?
I've met two girls at two different gyms I used to go to. I've been rejected by many more while doing a bunch of different sports - lifting, climbing, rowing, swimming (expert mode)
It's a normal place to meet people, but I wouldn't say it's like a bar. Unless you're the biggest/most attractive person (you're not) at the gym, hitting on girls is cringe and just going to make everyone uncomfortable most of the time. It's a good place to meet other young people who share a hobby with you, but it's not a shortcut to getting laid.
Do you catch her looking at you often? Does it seem like she's been showing up there more often lately at the same time as you? If so, consider approaching
I'm really not in the gym to be bothered by a women. They need to realize men actually need to focus on working out to stay fit and its not the place for that kind of thing.
If you can pick up women at the gym, you can do it anywhere anyways. The issue men actually do need to be putting in active effort at the gym in their workouts, so unless the man is desperate its really not appreciated.

I like women at the gym simply for the test boost. I don't even care that they all fraud now with the leggings that gives every thot a 10/10 ass. Just stare at their ass and breasts between sets, but never make eye contact or otherwise acknowledge their presence. And especially never talk to them.
due to being on no fap I do this involuntarily now. I don't even care anymore and if I get caught I just smile or look in the air making it obvious I was caught while smiling. Case in point a few days ago some girl in a sports bra was bending down constantly near me and whiel I was turning around to grab something got a full view of her tit meat hanging down. At that moment she looked up and saw me, we both caught eyes with each other and I just looked up embarrassed while smiling and looking away. I looked back and she was smiling back at me.
this autist didnt even approach at that point, the hardest part was over, the ice was broken and she caught you red handed, and she didn't turn away in disgust. She even SMILED at you. Thats basically her saying: "if you play this and the first date right, you can plow my fields cowboy"

Absolutly based
I also developped a technique that might interest you guys.
I basically combined the effects of Sun-maxing and testosterone boosting by watching thots
15 minutes before my scheduled workout I just go outside and look for a spot that get both a lots of foot traffic and sun exposure, then I just stay there and watch hotties going by while indulging my whole body in the power of the sun
I always lift like a madman after
I focus so hard on my training that I only found out a girl had been deliberately setting up and doing hip thrusters in front of me almost every day for months because I took my friend and she told him, I never spoke to her. Lost 21kg bwt and kept my squat at 230kg over 6 months while I was there, they had a nice squat rack.
Anytime I been to a gym and never met anyone except people being grouchy and asking if I will be done with the bench soon or the bar or whatever. You hear all these stupid phony penthouse letters style stories of someone met so and so and they banged in the sauna or some big guy becomes
your gym buddy and helps you every time you're there. It's just a room with a bunch of people doing random shit with whatever equipment they can find. However the chick seems pretty cool and doesn't like fatsos but she is not going to any gym I've been to.
Every gym i've been to, I just put on headphones and hyper-focus on my lifts. I'll do the occasional 'bro nod' if i'm passing somebody but that's about it.
Are there really people socializing and shit in gyms? That just seems crazy to me, idk why.
The party only starts when you take your headphones out. I think I knew 2 guys when I had my headphones in for the whole time I was in there, I think I know maybe 10-15 of the people I see a week now that I only listen to music when doing my actual sets
How does it happen? Do you just make eye contact and start talking? I'm not anti-social or anything, I just feel like everybody is doing their own thing in the gym.
Just pick something and talk about it until it's time for your set, or you get bored, or the other person looks like they want you to stop talking, whichever one of those comes first. First thing that comes to mind and isn't "your form is shit" or "that's a nice ass". Save those for when you actually know them already
The best way to form a quick bond with someone is to laugh together at a third party. So next time you see some dyel deadlifting, mock them with someone else and before you know it you'll be best buds.
i have worked out with headphones like twice in my life, and still dont talk to anyone. you need to actively try and talk to people, even at the gym. I dont, so the only interactions are me asking if/how long theyre using something
I made some good friends at the gym whenever I bench. I'm DYEL so I only bemch 80kg and I get a strong guy to spot me (since they actually spot you and only assist with the bar when it goes down), and then after that, we have a slight chat. I have a bunch of friends at the gym now, all from spotting and form checking on deadlifts etc.
>Are there really people socializing and shit in gyms
Me because I'm a gigaintrovert and realised it's the only place I frequent where socializing can occur naturally. It helps that I'm easily the strongest in the gym.

Yes, but they would never do this. Men today are convinced that they must get laid at all costs, regardless of the consequences. Thus, the current paradigm persists.
to be fair co-ed is an antiquated term, from times when education was gender segregated, which is rarely the case anymore, not all that many womens colleges and girls only/boys only shools these days.
I think it's a lot less awkward to approach people at the gym than at a bar.
You see the same people regularly, you most likely share a common interested, conversation can be somewhat genuine.
When I go to a bar with friends we get a table, have a few drinks and then leave, never talking with anybody we don't know. Sometimes a group of women come and get a table, then what? Are you supposed to walk up to them, grab a chair and be like "sup ladies, looking good tonight"? Now that's real awkward. Hitting on women at the gym is amazing, you're missing out.
I wish less incels would visit IST. I’ve chatted two women at the gym. One was married and we became friends, the other I ended up fricking. Was pretty funny because my buddy made a bet with me that every day I didn’t ask her out, I owed him one of those $5 protein drinks at the front. The very first day we saw her I fricking fast walked over to her while she was leaving and awkwardly asked for her number. Was worth it though.
why would you come here and insult teh bottom of the barrel of people, you'd only do that if your own house is a mess, people who get laid and are happy don't come here to shit on bottom feeders.
you can get pussy and also enjoy the memes
sorry but the memes here are topkek

first part is based, second part is delusional. There's only going to be a "resurgence in traditional values among women" insofar as post-wall roasties will suddenly start pretending to be "traditional" in order to sucker in a beta provider. This is already a known behavioral pattern, with bawds pretending to have found jesus and find a good christian husband to take care of them after they've had their fill on the wiener carousel.

Yeah I'd say the problem is the conceptualization of traditional values in our culture; a lot of the time I think women only understand them as a representation created by media versus men who understand traditional values by what has conventionally been effective/ practical.
Like if I grow my own food or cook and do dishes or make furniture it is because it is convenient or practical to considering the cost and quality of product. And when this is done habitually it becomes a way of life.
However women seem to see it more as an identitarian thing, like an aspect of identity that you can adopt with little to know effort in order to accomplish specific social goals.
For example before I moved in with my buddy and his girlfriend she talked about how she was traditional blah blah blah. However it turns out she has never done anything by which people would ordinarily qualify for that label. Like she's bisexual, queer, never cooked or cleaned dishes, doesnt read or do art, drinks like a fish, tattoos, piercings, dresses like Billy Eilish. It's a wierd view on identity.
Basically women's entire existence revolves around appearances. This includes any """hobbies""" she might have. As in, she doesn't intrinsically like doing something, or doesn't care about any productive aspect of what she's doing. She does it merely for appearances. So she can label herself as something, for status. Like modern women who don't tend to a garden and prepare homecooked meals because they care about health and nutrition, but because they want to take pictures of their garden/food to upload to instagram so that they can be known as "the gardener" and "the cook".
Likewise with fitness, the insta-thots who clog up gyms wearing skimpy gymshark shit and doing exaggerated buttsquats with a whopping 65lbs purely so they have an excuse to upload pseudo-softcore-porn to social media with tons of #fitnesschick hashtags
What you guys are saying is correct but there has to be a better way to explain it.
I could be on the wrong track but it's almost like a fictitious play structure that kids have, where they create fictitious realities that are more enjoyable and complex than base reality. And they guve themselves imaginary ranks and responsibilities and imagine situations where they will be heroes or villains. Adults do the same thing, but it's always slightly more grounded and less disprovable. Like adults might associate with a sexuality or role (like militiamen or those dudes who buy zombie survival guns) but won't identify as a doctor or the president. And similarly this play structure seems to apply to women who decide to go through a 'trad' phase. Is that right? I feel like Im off here
The point is that a woman will self-identify as "trad" and decorate herself with the superficial facade of traditionalism purely because she knows that men desire a truly traditional woman. That's really all there is to it.
I kind agree with your take here. You see this kind of behavior in men and women, albeit for different things, with the main goal of either projecting a higher level of perceived status or to increase desirability by others (sexually or otherwise). I think social media plays a HUGE part in these type of behaviors as people are able to extend their projections beyond their social circles and communities in real life.
I find the same kind of behavior in men that want to project a "master of my own fate" persona using ideas seen on social media from guys like Peterson or nowadays Andrew Tate with the same intentions mentioned above
I wonder if the male equivalent is as transparent as it is for women.
Like my friend used to have some crazy liberal girlfriend who would try to get in on our conversations, and she would try to build rapport by saying things about how she was secretly racist and didn't like immigrants or how she was happy that mass shooters killed more people that year than previously etc. Like in her statement is a projection of her perspective, which is totally nonsensical and proves how fake it is. Like to pretend to think something you have to see the underlying rationality in it. A lot of the time women who claim to be trad can see only a social but not a practical utility in the whole trad lifestyle, so obviously it's fake since they obviously don't agree with it.

Hard to say. If you wear a mask long enough and with conviction you will become the mask, and that will become the new you, but I find it's a lot easier to say "I've read Peterson and he says ____" instead of "I hold ____ as a core belief", to use your example
I gained a lot of my charisma in conversations from reading books and watching youtube videos, and of course lots of practice, and my gf was genuinely surprised that it was all learned

I didn't communicate my idea properly. What I mean is that the 'trad' mask is seen by many women to be disgusting, oppressive, or unattainable, and that their attempt to don it inevitably turns into a mockery of everything traditional values are supposed to represent.
Similarly women might find it ridiculous that a man can identify as conscientious and upright if he still jerks off to porn or doesn't have a career in the works.
I found the army good for building charisma, also customer service. Hard to say which was better but the underlying discovery was that most people are barely maintaining their facade/ personna and if you're genuine and straightforward they'll usually be willing to work with you.

i had a halfchub and i was wearing short shorts and loose boxers, so i stuck it in the waistband, but it fell out and was poking out of the bottom of my shorts
you mean everyone gets a place where they can go and makes them happy with likeminded people instead of cramming them all together and making sure everyone is miserable?
inconceivable. are people actually trying to get rid of co ed gyms though? this sounds like stupid online bullshit
Not the time or place. Unless a girl goes out of her way to indicate blatant interest or talk to you dont engage with random women. Just get an app like everyone else
I DON'T FRICKING CARE! GO WHINE ABOUT WAAAAMEN ON /LULZ/ OR /B/ STOP FRICKING MAKING WAAAAMEN THREADS ON IST GOD DAMN IT! POST LIFTS OR GET THE FRICK OUT!

She's 100% correct. You go to a club on a regular basis with a ton of people who want to make themselves look more attractive by doing the same hobby you're doing. Autists and redditors can seethe all they want, I don't think there's a single place where it's easier for me to make friends than the weight room. Still prefer bars to get girls, but the gym is probably a distant second place
Yes, it's just a bar with weights.

Anywhere that puts you in the close proximity of chicks where you have something to say to them is a good place to meet them :^)

How do I approach my gym crush bros?
Walk towards her
>I can't pound your ass unless I get closer
Give her The Look
never fails
Just flex a cep, she'll come around
Find out her max on bench, then crush yourself under it one day. Scream for help until she comes over and lofts the weight off of you.
What is heaux?
The French way to cheat at scrabble. Instead of writing 'o', you write 'eaux' and read it like 'o'
Frick French people
>Frick French people
Norman pussy was made for Anglo wiener
Strange then how the opposite occured irl
what is co-ed? ESL here
means both genders are participating/present, normally sports and activites are gender segregated
Thanks, I'm fine with that I like seeing girls getting those gains too.
I don't care about woman in gym. I lift there bro.
What the frick is a co-ed gym?
See
> heaux
Does she realise this literally means hooker?gkek
Mf I’ve benched 3pl8 and deadlifted 5pl8 for reps where the frick are the women
Gotta lifelift aswell bro
>roasties genuinely believe this because they literally can't imagine having other hobbies
kek
What would happen is most of the young men checked out of society over night?
Would roastie society collapse?
Yes, but they would never do this. Men today are convinced that they must get laid at all costs, regardless of the consequences. Thus, the current paradigm persists.
Looks like porn is getting even more popular along with coomers, they probably don't care about getting laid if they can cum easily.
Soiciety collapse and rise of rule of the strong tyrant
>zoomers don’t know what co-ed and heaux mean
what the frick is wrong with you kids
a lot of us are esl so shit like this is confusing, they are moronic terms anyway
>thinking everyone is american
typical morons
>my moronation should be accommodated on this american website
you are the only one to blame for not knowing. the world belongs to america
to be fair co-ed is an antiquated term, from times when education was gender segregated, which is rarely the case anymore, not all that many womens colleges and girls only/boys only shools these days.
I think it's a lot less awkward to approach people at the gym than at a bar.
You see the same people regularly, you most likely share a common interested, conversation can be somewhat genuine.
When I go to a bar with friends we get a table, have a few drinks and then leave, never talking with anybody we don't know. Sometimes a group of women come and get a table, then what? Are you supposed to walk up to them, grab a chair and be like "sup ladies, looking good tonight"? Now that's real awkward. Hitting on women at the gym is amazing, you're missing out.
I wish less incels would visit IST. I’ve chatted two women at the gym. One was married and we became friends, the other I ended up fricking. Was pretty funny because my buddy made a bet with me that every day I didn’t ask her out, I owed him one of those $5 protein drinks at the front. The very first day we saw her I fricking fast walked over to her while she was leaving and awkwardly asked for her number. Was worth it though.
>I wish less incels would visit IST
frick off normie
Maybe if you got a gf you wouldn't be so mad all the time
why would you come here and insult teh bottom of the barrel of people, you'd only do that if your own house is a mess, people who get laid and are happy don't come here to shit on bottom feeders.
you can get pussy and also enjoy the memes
sorry but the memes here are topkek
plus im a mixedchad and enjoy reading palefaces struggle with dating and mental health
>plus im a mixedchad
>mixed
Ah, a bottom feeder
Fricking neurotypical scum
i have literally never approached a woman at the gym. it almost seems gay to do so.
>talking to women is gay
Haha Nick is so cute 🙂
Yeah so gay only gays do that
She's right about filtering fatties, but seems every woman is annoyed if someone talks to them, even if they are attractive.
I don't talk to people at the gym. am I doing it wrong?
>gym with one common sauna so you can concentrate on training and then talk to half naked sweaty girls afterwards
Based
first part is based, second part is delusional. There's only going to be a "resurgence in traditional values among women" insofar as post-wall roasties will suddenly start pretending to be "traditional" in order to sucker in a beta provider. This is already a known behavioral pattern, with bawds pretending to have found jesus and find a good christian husband to take care of them after they've had their fill on the wiener carousel.
Yeah I'd say the problem is the conceptualization of traditional values in our culture; a lot of the time I think women only understand them as a representation created by media versus men who understand traditional values by what has conventionally been effective/ practical.
Like if I grow my own food or cook and do dishes or make furniture it is because it is convenient or practical to considering the cost and quality of product. And when this is done habitually it becomes a way of life.
However women seem to see it more as an identitarian thing, like an aspect of identity that you can adopt with little to know effort in order to accomplish specific social goals.
For example before I moved in with my buddy and his girlfriend she talked about how she was traditional blah blah blah. However it turns out she has never done anything by which people would ordinarily qualify for that label. Like she's bisexual, queer, never cooked or cleaned dishes, doesnt read or do art, drinks like a fish, tattoos, piercings, dresses like Billy Eilish. It's a wierd view on identity.
women like the idea of things, not the logistics of what it takes to have/be the thing. it's why they cling to instagram and tiktok
What you guys are saying is correct but there has to be a better way to explain it.
I could be on the wrong track but it's almost like a fictitious play structure that kids have, where they create fictitious realities that are more enjoyable and complex than base reality. And they guve themselves imaginary ranks and responsibilities and imagine situations where they will be heroes or villains. Adults do the same thing, but it's always slightly more grounded and less disprovable. Like adults might associate with a sexuality or role (like militiamen or those dudes who buy zombie survival guns) but won't identify as a doctor or the president. And similarly this play structure seems to apply to women who decide to go through a 'trad' phase. Is that right? I feel like Im off here
The point is that a woman will self-identify as "trad" and decorate herself with the superficial facade of traditionalism purely because she knows that men desire a truly traditional woman. That's really all there is to it.
insightful post
I kind agree with your take here. You see this kind of behavior in men and women, albeit for different things, with the main goal of either projecting a higher level of perceived status or to increase desirability by others (sexually or otherwise). I think social media plays a HUGE part in these type of behaviors as people are able to extend their projections beyond their social circles and communities in real life.
I find the same kind of behavior in men that want to project a "master of my own fate" persona using ideas seen on social media from guys like Peterson or nowadays Andrew Tate with the same intentions mentioned above
I wonder if the male equivalent is as transparent as it is for women.
Like my friend used to have some crazy liberal girlfriend who would try to get in on our conversations, and she would try to build rapport by saying things about how she was secretly racist and didn't like immigrants or how she was happy that mass shooters killed more people that year than previously etc. Like in her statement is a projection of her perspective, which is totally nonsensical and proves how fake it is. Like to pretend to think something you have to see the underlying rationality in it. A lot of the time women who claim to be trad can see only a social but not a practical utility in the whole trad lifestyle, so obviously it's fake since they obviously don't agree with it.
Hard to say. If you wear a mask long enough and with conviction you will become the mask, and that will become the new you, but I find it's a lot easier to say "I've read Peterson and he says ____" instead of "I hold ____ as a core belief", to use your example
I gained a lot of my charisma in conversations from reading books and watching youtube videos, and of course lots of practice, and my gf was genuinely surprised that it was all learned
I didn't communicate my idea properly. What I mean is that the 'trad' mask is seen by many women to be disgusting, oppressive, or unattainable, and that their attempt to don it inevitably turns into a mockery of everything traditional values are supposed to represent.
Similarly women might find it ridiculous that a man can identify as conscientious and upright if he still jerks off to porn or doesn't have a career in the works.
I found the army good for building charisma, also customer service. Hard to say which was better but the underlying discovery was that most people are barely maintaining their facade/ personna and if you're genuine and straightforward they'll usually be willing to work with you.
>or unattainable, and that their attempt to don it inevitably turns into a mockery of everything traditional values are supposed to represent.
>Similarly women might find it ridiculous that a man can identify as conscientious and upright if he still jerks off to porn or doesn't have a career in the works.
Oh I agree with this. I don't know how well women can detect it but I can definitely smell out larpers irl.

Which ones help
Basically women's entire existence revolves around appearances. This includes any """hobbies""" she might have. As in, she doesn't intrinsically like doing something, or doesn't care about any productive aspect of what she's doing. She does it merely for appearances. So she can label herself as something, for status. Like modern women who don't tend to a garden and prepare homecooked meals because they care about health and nutrition, but because they want to take pictures of their garden/food to upload to instagram so that they can be known as "the gardener" and "the cook".
Likewise with fitness, the insta-thots who clog up gyms wearing skimpy gymshark shit and doing exaggerated buttsquats with a whopping 65lbs purely so they have an excuse to upload pseudo-softcore-porn to social media with tons of #fitnesschick hashtags
it's the last shared space in this sick, collapsing society
my dick fell out of my shorts once and I didn't notice and a girl told me to "put that thing away before someone gets hurt"
what did she mean by this?
you're dick comes off?
i had a halfchub and i was wearing short shorts and loose boxers, so i stuck it in the waistband, but it fell out and was poking out of the bottom of my shorts
>entertaining "kicking men out of gyms" as if this is constitutional to begin with
you mean everyone gets a place where they can go and makes them happy with likeminded people instead of cramming them all together and making sure everyone is miserable?
inconceivable. are people actually trying to get rid of co ed gyms though? this sounds like stupid online bullshit
who cares about a women opninion. do you really waste your time reading womens tweet? big L
>a co-ed gym is basically a bar
Does this b***h realise you're not supposed to count the bar?
Not the time or place. Unless a girl goes out of her way to indicate blatant interest or talk to you dont engage with random women. Just get an app like everyone else
I DON'T FRICKING CARE! GO WHINE ABOUT WAAAAMEN ON /LULZ/ OR /B/ STOP FRICKING MAKING WAAAAMEN THREADS ON IST GOD DAMN IT! POST LIFTS OR GET THE FRICK OUT!
Wtf is heaux?
at least shes honest on why she goes to the gym
What about middle aged and old peope of the opposite sex? Or more specifically, one middle-aged male and young female?
