Anyone here go to the gym even though they are not welcomed?

After months of searching I finally found a gym that accepted manlets. At least on the surface.

Yeah training hard is important but not gonna lie, going there solo does get lonely and boring at times.

Don't expect people to go out of their way to welcome you. They are focused on their own workouts. If you want to go over and talk to someone, just chose a moment and go over and try and spark up a convo...about lifting of course. It's a good way to make gym pals.

I was going to talk to this guy who was by himself watching tennis but he head earphones on. There was another group of lifters but they were talking in their own little group.

Being able to join a gym is one thing, but are you truly welcomed and accepted within the community there? or do you train as an outcast like myself and not really fitting in

Stares and compliments are great, but not really indications of welcoming or acceptance

I don't go to the gym to socialise, I go there to work out and lift heavy chit. No judge though, I've got some middle aged men groups who stand around one machine and chat away but I feel like I'd lose out on the intensity of the workouts if I buddy buddied with others.

Your arms are too big for your body bro.

Also, no one will hang with you when you sound like a loser. Not even guys

Everyone on this planet has good and bad qualities, just roll with it
The misc is full of a bunch of simp ****ots

I thought you were trolling, op. But no.

I’m in the gym to do my workout and get out.

I’m on my way to look at a gym today where the local language is not one I speak. Zero fcks given.

Do you have any friends that lift? Just go with them. Either that or try going at different times so you see the different regulars. Plus it’s pretty easy to see who is open to conversation and who isn’t. Not to mention you already have tons of options for openers since you both obviously have an interest in lifting.

Most are busy with families or live too far away. If i go early i know a lot of regulars but theres not much going on besides handshakes and small talk
