Now you have my attention.
but client side rendering :(
Anons reading this:
Last time I was at the gym I got COVID, and it was really bad as the virus got deep into my lungs due to deep breathing while working out.
And no girls there either, just bros pumping iron. Would not recommend.
Aww man, I JUST got my gym membership and planned to start this weekend. Now I’m afraid and don’t want to go anymore.
I got triple covid vax tho, should I be ok?
You’ll be fine. Don’t let fear rule your life.
Isn’t fear a big part of human survivor instincts?
Fear is literally the thing that keeps me away from trying drugs, stopped smoking, and stopped drinking in my early 20s LOL.
I love my fears. I’m a cowardly bastard who can never be peer pressured into doing any dangerous or stupid shits.
But I’ll still go to the gym. However, I’m gonna be that weirdo who wears a mask with a bottle of Purell in the corner. :)
Sure, you have a good point. Fear isn’t silly, but there’s a balance to strike. If after three vaccinations you’re still so scared of the possibility of getting COVID (as long as you’re not extremely frail or elderly) that it’s causing you to not enjoy yourself or do healthy activities like go to the gym, you might be overly cautious.
Fear is a good indicator to think rationally as bout things. But if fear becomes irrational and compromises your everyday life, that’s when you should ignore it. Everything you feel can be in a healthy or an unhealthy way you gotta draw the line somewhere. And for extreme cases, we have therapists.
You’re just telling them to go die and not take precautions.
If you want to be really safe you can choose to never leave your house, but I’d say that’s no life. There’s always going to be some risk involved with whatever you want to do and it’s not always going to be a risk that’s reasonably manageable.
I think telling someone not to worry about getting COVID after three vaccinations (as long as they are not extremely frail or elderly) isn’t telling them to “go die” in your words, it’s common sense.
The vaccine just reduces the likelihood that you will get seriously ill if you get the disease, it doesn’t make it zero. With it being a zoonotic virus it does all sorts of mutating and random things over time, so the vaccine may not permanently work for anyone long-term. It’s not far beyond the realms of possibility that we could end up in another global outbreak situation. Wouldn’t that be fun.
At the bare minimum I would recommend everyone to stop licking each other. Also wash your hands when you go to the bathroom so many people don’t do that it’s ridiculous.
To be fair, I never said three vaccines makes COVID zero risk, the implication was that you shouldn’t be living you’re life in fear due to COVID unless you’re seriously frail or elderly.
I’m not precious about the precautions that other people would like to take and I respect the wishes of people that do want to take their own further precautions, it’s a free country.
The health benefits of exercise likely outweigh the negative effects of COVID for most people, especially vaccinated
I was vaccinated four times (in Germany) but I also had some light issues with respiratory diseases all my life and I’m in my 50s which also elevates the risks of infections.
Decide for yourself. Gym definitely is a good place to get healthier. Most of the times.
When if I go to the gym it’s a combination of terminator wannabes or people who are just hanging around sitting on the equipment but not actually using it because they are conducting a 45-minute conversation.
Fake and gay
Fake: anon went outside and spoke to a woman
Gay: anon had sex, obviously not with a woman
Fake: anon met a woman
Gay : anon went to the gym
I can spot a lie when I see one.
- Be hot
- Don’t not be not
*1. Be ATTRACTIVE *2. Don’t be not ATTRACTIVE.
You don’t have to be hot to be attractive.
Exactly. As long as you’re not horribly ugly (1. Don’t be a slob 2. Shower, brush your teeth, wear clean clothes) the right personality will beat looks. Being funny, like legitimately witty funny, will go miles
Or if you’re not hot, be attracted to people who are also not hot. This is where I have failed in life.
Ugh, don’t go to the gym to meet people
True, but it’s also inevitable that you’re going to meet people by going to a gym. Don’t interrupt people, but if they appear like they’re open to conversation it’s ok to ask if they want to talk.
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.
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.
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.
100%, but no one is misunderstanding my body language lol
The key is social awareness, if you have it my comment doesn’t apply to you, haha
Don’t go ouside and you won’t meet people 🧠
Here’s a list of acceptable things to say to strangers in a gym:
- Are you using that?
- How many sets do you have left?
- Could you spot me? (only for bench)
None of these should turn the stranger into someone you know. None of these should lead to intercourse.
I kept to this rule, but it was so fucking annoying.
I did bouldering to lose weight, and played card games for fun, went to death metal shows for art and worked in software.
No women at work, no women at gigs, no women at card games, shouldn’t be picking up women at the climbing center.
I’m married with a daughter now , but Jesus Christ it wasn’t easy getting there.
EDIT : To clarify, the “no women at work” thing refers to adding women to my friends circle for networking to meet non-work women. OBV I wasn’t hoping to pick up women at work for the same reason as not wanting to pick them up at the climbing center.
I didn’t, but I did.
