• I went to the gym for about 9 months straight in 2021. I didn’t have one conversation, and that was exactly how I wanted it. I don’t want to meet a banging girl that has a thick gym body so all my bro friends can think I’m the man while she walks around the entire gym pretending to not be showing off in those tight pants that go up her cracks. I don’t want a bro friend to give me diet suggestions and brag about how he has figured a workout regiment better than all the physiologists in the world. I want to workout, listen to my music from my ear buds, stim and process my anger between sets, and talk to myself without anyone looking at me.

      That’s fine and you’re entitled to that experience. If someone misunderstands your body language, all you have to do is politely decline the offer to talk.

      Generally speaking I don’t want to talk to people at the gym, or anyway really. But if a hot girl wants to talk to me and then sleep with me, I suppose I’ll put up with it. You have to be polite right.
