Why is fitness culture so cringey?
Pic somewhat related.

This is fitness culture the same way someone who played one zelda game and spams zelda memes is vidya culture.
New/fit/ here, and even I can answer that question:
Those who are autistic enough to post lifting/gym memes on social media are the same people who make working out/lifting//fit/ the most interesting thing about themselves.
that's it.
Get hobbies and be social, and try not to be an asshole in the process. That's all there is to life.....
>bottom tier memes represent fitness culture
good thing we make our own and don't rely on outsourcing
All those instragram fitness fags make me sick. What kind of man tans, shaves, and takes shirtless selfies with some faggy inspirational quote alongside it. Absolute faggotry!

pic is so accurate that it almost made me feel, but then I realized even I'm not that much of a fag
>>36489007
agreed.
>Look at me! Look at me!

>bottom tier memes represent fitness culture
They do though. The culture here does not represent mainstream fitness culture.
>>36489007
I know, shit is annoying.
>>36489027
you're talking about 'fitness' near year resolutioner culture or cringy mom's doing crossfit
i don't think anyone who takes it seriously would post memes like that unless they haven't honed their autism like we have
>>36489007
What kind of man cares about other people doing that stuff? Having fun in that closet?
>>36489048
Faggot detected

>i don't think anyone who takes it seriously would post memes like that
Wrong.
Also I work in a gym and it's an endless parade of faggots wearing shirts that say SWOLE PATROL or some other ridiculous shit.
>>36489007
Guarantee you those "Fags" get way more pussy than you could ever get the courage to talk to
>>36489110
Zing!
>>36489087
Those people don't take fitness seriously. Stop kidding yourself.
It's the sensation of feeling powerful and superior. It's easy to get self absorbed when you look better than you used to.
>>36489087
have you ever seen someone doing anything besides curls in one of those shirts?
probably not
>>36489172
No, they do. Most of them are in pretty good shape and come to the gym 5 or so days per week.
>>36489173
That makes sense I guess, but I feel like there are more intelligent ways to peacock.
>>36489184
Yes.

>>36489203
Dat feminine stance.

If this guy is just lifting for girls there's really no issue with this. Lower body might as well not exist in a busy club, you can hardly see it when it's crowded.
Before you flip your shit, I don't support this personally. I'm just saying he's probably only hitting vanity muscles.
>>36489007
My lifting bro is gay, dude posts so much shit to insta, FB, Twitter etc. He plasters his progress pics with quotes and flowery script along with a wall of fucking hashtags, he used meme arrows in his last post.
I let him take one fucking pic with me and now I've got dudes and spray tan yoga sloots I don't know trying to add and message me.
I just want to be stronk hate myself less and look good naked, I don't even post progress pics on my own profiles.
Most people who post LEG DAY xD stuff don't even work-out regularly.
>>36488957
I checked out a guy at my gym's instagram (well I was checking out his qt gf and stopped by his profile), and he had some pictures and some "deep" quotes posted, but when I see him in the gym he's just another dude lifting.
Instagram posts makes it seem like they have these epic, meaningful lives where their gym time is amazing, but when in the gym you couldn't tell them apart from any other common gym goer.

Probably should stay away from wearing shorts that just expose & accentuate the problem, however.
>>36488957
Because just like gaming, sports, bars, gambling, coffee houses etc it goes to shit when women and normies get involved and there's money to be made.
I never tell people I lift weights. It seems like such a vain thing to do - not to lift, but to tell people that you do. I just want to look good, and if I look good it should hardly matter how it happened. I don't need to be associated with bro meathead culture to feel validated.
Lifting culture is cringy for two reasons:
1) It is filled with people with serious mental health issues, nariciasism, social anxiety, etc. Put a bunch of people like that together and it always gets cringy.
2) Almost any subculture is cringy. Look at the tech/hacker subculture, bikers, gun culture, etc. They are all filled with cringe. When people try hard to conform to a specific subculture it's bound to look sad and pathetic.

most ppl at my gym are still on their broscience and hodgetwins phase. I use to my advantage because I know the stupid ALL KINDS OF GAINS shit.
whenever I exchange instagram/twitter with them. mind is the only normal one weirdly enough. it's just them taking selfies and posting gym memes. with 20-30 hashtags each post

>coffee houses

You sure got him !

Fitness culture is full of normies
Normies tend to have a shit sense of humor
