Alright, I'm going to post this little story for you guys and invite you in for some insight on matters. I'm 23, I used to be skinny till I decided to hit the gym and rev the engine up with diet plan and supplements, good and consistent workout programs that eventually helped me gain some natural mass. I wanted to post a pic but I think it's not an option on asktrp, pardon me because I'm also new on the way reddit works overall. Let alone the subreddits and tons of options on PC as a platform.

Take it in mind I stopped visiting the gym as I'm on and off in to different places a lot nowadays, I work out ocassionaly with calisthenics so before I start I wanted to point out that these events aren't much far back in the past, it's just when I started gaming again after a cold period.

So, some months ago, I was on a casual day to the gym to work on my biceps and triceps. I got in, and at the mid of the workout I saw this girl who I've had plausible deniability with because of knowing each other for approximately two weeks, I had opened her on a cafe bar. I approached again, spoke for some minutes and then after the small talk I got serious and asked her what she was up to for the rest of the week, she replied with a " nothing much, just going to stay home at the village, why don't you visit? " I was in. Next thing I know I ended up visiting her village ( which I also come from by the way, mutual shit ) with my parents car and we went for a stroll, I closed in after some escalation like kino and negging etc. ( Worked my way through classic pua mystery method in case it matters ). We had this thing going on for two weeks after that day ( but scarcely, as I couldn't visit the village all the time because of being busy with work and the gym and in general, life ) until I found out she was not sure about the thing going on between us, she told me that I don't spend much time for her even though she thought I wanted to but couldn't, and since she's busy studying for the june exams to enter a university, we should talk about it. I agreed and saw her for a while, I skipped the small talk part and decided to give it a break, I knew this was over by this moment so I let it go and now we just see each other ocassionaly, she's trying to seek for my attention out of nowhere while she has a Boyfriend. What the fuck? Should I totally bail?

Second thing I teased another girl at the gym which I wouldn't say was fat nor skinny, had good proportions, not exactly my style but anyway ended up getting her number, since I got IOI's. We went out for a few times and had sex after some days. I flaked her the days coming next as I had to leave town for my unfinished university exams and was away for 2 months.

Girl doesn't talk to me now but that doesn't bother me much. What bothers me and I really want an opinion here, is the other dudebros at the gym, they were stalking all the time and some of them speak ill of me behind my back as I hear in town, saying stuff like " Who does this guy think he is? " or " This dude thinks he's jacked up and acting like a thug " shit like that.

I live in a really small town so almost everybody knows each other, so I get it it's normal for this to happen. Although, is this because I did something wrong in the gym maybe, acting more jacked up than I was, as they say and I should clear things up with them even if it means a fight, or are they just mad and jealous beta fucks who crave for my future unsucessfulness?

This didn't use to happen often while I was living in a bigger city, I'd meet beta idiots who are jealous during times but I cut them off by not seeing them. Here I'm forced to see those idiots almost every day but I act as usual, with an attitude of I don't give a fuck straight on their face but that's just making me tired.
