There's this one old man at mine who goes out of his way to talk to just about everyone and it's hard to feel depressed with that kind of energy around.

I lift alone and I suffer alone

You are not alone, anon

HEE HEE

I lift alone. Never talked to anyone at my gym

>>76291419 (OP)
Depends on how many calories I'm currently eating and how many zoomettes are in the gym.

>>76291419 (OP)
Id rather negative pessimistic twats than someone putting up an act and facade to garther a certain image in a gym out of all places

>>76291419 (OP)
There's one short guy who is always chatting up the hot girls trying to laid. They all know him snd its kinda sad because they all go hey buddy or what's up bro etc. I guess one day he'll bag one. I dont talk to anyone at the gym unless approached. There is a nice old guy who likes to talk to everyone and I chat him up for awhile. He's got a lot of injuries and surgeries and actually looks pretty damn buff for his age. Nice dude.

Ironically, ignoring the hot girls makes them pay attention to you. I've seen them perving on me when I lie on my back to stretch my obliques. Then again, I happen to be tall and often wear short shorts.

>ignoring the hot girls makes them pay attention
This is on par with the "if i tell her that i have 20 girls waiting for me back hole she will jump on my cock right on spot"

Believe me if you want, or don't.
Get your physique/look to a certain level, wear clothes that accentuate your body, and see what happens.
This short, wide backed Latina powerlifter chick was eyefucking on me from the elliptical on the other side of the room, and then got on the treadmill directly in my line of sight, walking very slowly, before her BF/husband walked up with their gym bags a couple of weeks ago.
Women are bound by social acceptability when it comes to what they do and they're very sneaky about this stuff, much more than we are. If you ignore them, but not in a protesting, incel kind of way, it makes them want to get your attention to reassure themselves that they are attractive.

>I happen to be tall
Your drivel doesn't matter and isnt worth reading since it's just a justification that you've done some magical trick or tip that you think works for others when in reality it's something you take for granted
Most men "ignore" women, the exception (the manlet who approaches them frequently) proves the rule

>>76291769
I see short, ripped dudes get flirted with all the time. A lot of them have good energy. None of us can help if we're tall or short. You just sound like you have a shitty defeatist attitude. Then again, this is 4Chan.

>>76291780
>I see short, ripped dudes get flirted with all the time
1 you rarely do, women dont usually just flirt with men unless you take looking in their general direction as flirting and 2 it only proves the rule again
stop with the just world bullshit, being realistic and calling you out on your attempt to lead on guys isnt defeatist
You get a modicum of attention because of things out of your control not magical brain waves you exert

>>76291419 (OP)
It doesn't matter because my discipline gets me in and out with an effective workout and no days skipped.

>>76291730
>>76291757
>Then again, I happen to be tall and often wear short shorts
Why are you arguing after admitting the reason they glance at you, while mention how they friendzone a SHORT guy
This must be some elaborate humblebrag

>>76291790
I understand where you're coming from but I'm personally trying to move away from all that blackpill shit. It doesn't solve any problems long term. We're all apes, evo-psych, blah blah blah. So what? That just means we don't have to take ourselves so seriously.
>You get a modicum of attention because of things out of your control
I think you can too, you just have to figure out what you have that they like and then play that up. You probably don't acknowledge the existence of a lot of women who would respond to you.

>>76291812
I'm tall and I still don't get all the women I want. It's not a fix-all. I'm not a guru.I don't have a course to sell.

The only guy I ever used to talk to was a 160cm Filipino guy, super kind dude. He stopped going and now I never talk to anyone.

Not positive, but am sociable and open enough to talk to the people I know. After my set, of course.

I've been going to the same gym for 7 years and have never said a word to a single person

>>76291419 (OP)
I used to work nights until April this year, and at my old gym about a year and a half ago, I used to go anytime between 2am and 4am. Was pretty quiet but there was this one old dude (around mid 40's) who used to come in around 3'ish and was super social and we got along pretty well.
I remember this was about only the 3rd or so time we talked to each other and I mentioned I was going on a hike after my session and he had talked previously about how he was into all that shit too and some random extreme sports. Dude was giving me some tips and stuff on how to deal with things as I hadn't hiked before and he was talking about Dextrose tablets and having a few when you're in a pinch and just need a burst of energy. Dude just straight up gave me the keys to his car and said he had a few in his dash that I could take and let me go grab them. Absolute fucking bro

I miss working out at night, was super chill and the nightwalks there and back were max comfy.

lol how can anyone give up on being a woman that completely

>lol how can anyone give up on being a woman that completely
I don't know if it's art, but I like it.

>>76291419 (OP)
No, I try to keep away from people and would like for people to do the same for me. I've had times were people were even copying exercises I'm doing like hyperextension side bends but I can't bring myself to help them understand the exercise because again I don't want to bother people

>>76291730
It's the reaction to posts like this that makes me think this place is filled with either very young dudes with no experience with women, or actual ugly incles. The reason this works for those that don't know is that you denying them attention signals that you're higher status than them.

YES! YES!

This is it. At a certain age a man starts to do something with his life, whether it's work, fitness, whatever. It gives you a confidence women pick up on. Also, after you date enough or interact with enough women, even just at work, you start to see what actually drives them.

That coworker you friendzone, the girl at the coffee shop who knows you by name, that kind of stuff is them sending choosing signals. Some guys get so fixated on cardiobunnies or "hot" chicks that they ignore the universal aspects of how women seek and leverage attention. It's like food to them. That's why they doomscroll social media and post about themselves all the time.They seek attention the way teenage you looked down your English teacher's blouse. Understanding that is how you manage relationships with them. The modern Western woman often has a functional level of narcissistic personality disorder and it makes them easy to read. I don't say this in the sense that you should look down on them or whatever, but it's just understanding the nature of the game we are all playing.

>>76292205
Incel rationalization. Women don't think that deeply even on an instinctual level. They are not sitting around waiting for the "highest status" guy who ignores them. Just look around you. Are 90% of the paired men you see "masculine" or "high status" or "extra confident"? Of course not, they are more often than not aging beer guzzling wageslaves, and a good amount of them have girlfriends/wives you would consider hot. What they all have in common is that none of them asked their man out. This "hard to get strategy" is feminine in nature and does not work for men. If you want women, take the shot. There is no other way. Your games are why you are here.

fuck no everyone at the gym is my enemy

>>76292396
I agree with you to an extent but I've gotten very selective about who I go to the trouble of pursuing

>>76292396
My nigger you're misreading the conversation. It's not playing "hard to get" it's literally just ignoring them and their reaction to it, since they feed off of attention. No one is saying it'll get you married.

Touch grass bro
Improve yourself in ways that matter to you
Blackpill YouTubers aren't helping your life at all

>>76292396
This is mostly true tho I do see a decent amount of girls that are straight up checking me out even with their BF present.

>>76292090
So do chicks on roids have like a man's musky taint odor in their pussy? Testosterone can't be good for that smell.

fake or real, she still has boobs at least. Usually strong chicks' boobs just fade away, like tears in the rain

Still wont get you women, stop deflecting

>Still wont get you women, stop deflecting
What are you even talking about?
I don't want to wallow in my own despair and self pity like (You).
"Getting women" doesn't stop the heat death of the universe.

>>76291419 (OP)
anyone bothering me just to "talk" when I'm in my zone training is getting the stink eye

fuck off and leave me alone, the gym isn't a place to "hang out" and "chill", you worthless layabouts

>>76295877
Truly one of the alpha males of all time. In awe of your stoicism, bro.

>>76291419 (OP)
Only with the staff in the reception. I despise the trainers tho
