This was in Australia, where gently making fun of complete strangers to their face is traditionally considered part of being friendly with them, but assholes can use it as an excuse to go too far and assholes are overrepresented amongst guys who start conversations with strangers in gyms.

Moridin920 posted:Maybe I just live in a weirdly nice community or something but do adults really just make fun of other adults who they don't know whatsoever in real life like that? Like to the point that going to a new gym is uncomfortable? This may shock you but adults are giant children and pick on people.

Oh that's the other thing - you don't have to talk to anyone at the gym. I go to the same gym 2x daily and only ever talk to a few vets I recognize from work or introduced themselves. If someone talks to you shrug and point at your earphones. What you hinted at, and Nice Guys don't seem to get is that real life isn't highschool. You don't have to pine after some crush because there are thousands of other women, and you aren't limited to who you sit behind in math class. Similarly, dudes at the gym have zero bearing on your life. They aren't the "cool kids" or "jocks" they're guys that you might see for 45 minutes once in a while and they can't do anything to you.

Business Gorillas posted:edit: that other dude is right a single off the cuff remarks didn't cause the issue, its your zero self esteem and massive sadbrains. go get help I was exaggerating the effect on me to go with the hyperbole about men being incapable of true friendship, but critical comments when you're already feeling kind of poo poo about your appearance will rattle anybody at least a little. I don't think you need impenetrable self-esteem armour to not be 'sadbrains'. Hell, most of the current lifecoaching lit that I peddle suggests the opposite, that knowing you have vulnerabilities and accepting them rather than trying to defeat them is actually more productive.

Moon Atari posted:Women lack penises, so must use material trinkets as a symbolic replacement serving the same function that the oral transfer of semen plays in male platonic bonding. The true tragedy in this is that gender wage disparity means that women are doubly burdened by this extra expense. Men!

My life got way better after I decided pining after some dumb girl who showed 0 interest for the last 5 years was retarded. I even asked her out and she said no and I still pined for a year after that.

life got easier when i gave up on things and became a nihilistic cynical rear end in a top hat. It's weird how women actually pursue you when you show no interest and are kind of a jerk because literally nothing matters.

Eeh if you hang out with military, cops, EMT or fire it's inevitable that someone will do a martial art of some kind. Wearing Everlast or Tap-out stuff in public though, that's a red flag.

One of my friends is a flight attendant with an MMA boyfriend. One day she texted a male friend to tell him that she had his favorite celebrity on one of her flights and he texted back a smiley face. The next day MMA boyfriend showed up at the guy's former workplace because it was still listed on his Facebook bio saying he'd kick his rear end. He bellowed a bit more, shoved over a shelf, and split before the cops showed up.

Pick posted:Yeah but people's thresholds for this are so low now. Like if a guy gives another guy a nice clipboard suddenly he's Mr Homo Clipboard who wants gay times from the recipient. Just nuts. Yeah. My male coworkers from my first job thought I was gay for a long time because I was equally as nice to them as the ladies. The thing is, you have to be pretty dumb to date inside your office gay or not. Being nice helped the day go by faster. Learned my lesson. It's better to treat everyone indifferently. In other words, give everyone an equal chance to disappoint you. Salty Josh fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Aug 23, 2016 |
