Guys who workout?

rpsheepdog · 2019-05-15T18:33:56+00:00

yeah dog its called swoleshaming

vandaalen · 2019-05-15T18:43:47+00:00

envy is the biggest compliment

Flamethrowa21 · 2019-05-15T19:03:15+00:00

"Wow man you've really filled out!" Proceeds to mock

KarlskyWB · 2019-05-15T20:02:05+00:00

Make it your number one goal to piss these people off. Use their envy as the fuel for your workouts.

When you piss off losers, then you know that what you're doing is working.

MisplacedSanityP · 2019-05-15T19:54:01+00:00

Just like ugly women who insult pretty women. "Wow she must be a whore" "Does she really need all that make-up?" "She's like a stick, guys like thicc girls". Pure envy.

hatethiscity · 2019-05-15T19:16:38+00:00

Not so much resentment for working out, but I've experienced a lot of people shaming me for being disciplined with my diet at times. I've had coworkers try and make fun of me/ shame me for not getting ice cream or eating donuts or cookies that they brought in. Fuck em... let them get fat.

Zanford · 2019-05-16T02:57:36+00:00

Yes. Crab bucket mentality.

The best burn on his front was by Ahnuld. Some guys tells him "I wouldn't want to look like that" and Arnold replies "Don't worry, you never will."

TheDero · 2019-05-15T18:59:52+00:00

They're just unhappy. My beer gutted, undisciplined , manchild of a father consistently made negative comments towards me when I was gaining mass for a few months.

patacsiipse · 2019-05-15T21:33:55+00:00

Dudes constantly get insecure when I’m around them. They question my strength, become self declared nutritional experts, shame my discipline, make fun of me for not consuming alcohol and get extremely hostile when they see their girls checking my gains out.

On the other hand, it always gives energy when I happen to meet with other disciplined lifters, they tend to be very stoic and cool people.

Red_Pill_Brotherhood · 2019-05-15T19:11:52+00:00

No, if anything I've gotten some compliments and people that respect the dedication. And don't worry about those people, they secretly feel worse about themselves because they don't have what you have and they don't have the work ethic to do it.

obiwanshighground · 2019-05-15T18:35:41+00:00

Yes and if I ever went out to eat with them I sometimes got judged on my food choices. I also go the “hey big guy” and all the gym bro jokes for a while. For me it happened more when I first got serious about lifting, but after a while when my results spoke for themselves people actually started coming to me for advice. Just ignore it

HurricaneHugues · 2019-05-15T20:05:27+00:00

My mother swoleshamed me with feminist bullshit like "your muscle size doesn't matter when making money your brain size does" or "women don't care about muscles" funniest and dumbest shit she's said is " a man without a belly is like a Mercedes without a logo" now I'm making triple the average person does and I have sex on call.

TheStumblingWolf · 2019-05-15T20:38:04+00:00

When I started lifting people (I have a circle of superficial friends that I play board/video games with) were like "you're just doing it to get laid". I just laughed and said "so what if I am?".

Aymane221 · 2019-05-15T18:50:47+00:00

All the time

Rnee45 · 2019-05-15T18:29:53+00:00

Yes. Ignore them.

Sylvester_Sterone · 2019-05-15T19:36:57+00:00

Sure. Keep going. I've seen dudes mate guard their ladies by hold on for dear God. I've also seen people give plenty of respect and ask for advice and polite conversation. Finally, there are also the ones that try to compete with you too.

It's funny how when you start out people seem to give all sorts of unsolicited advice. It'll stop though.

Aymane221 · 2019-05-15T20:18:44+00:00

It’s gottten to the point where dudes have made comments to me at a bar saying they want to fight me cuz I’m lean and ripped. Of course while there girlfriends eye me up and down and grab me

FereallyRed · 2019-05-15T18:29:56+00:00

Tallcrab poppybuckets.

Platinum247365 · 2019-05-15T23:27:43+00:00

I don't recall people who have looked at me with disgust, but I have had people encourage me to take a break from training or eat something unhealthy once in a while.

kayfab · 2019-05-16T06:39:55+00:00

I will be 47 this year and all the time, people are jealous, because even the younger one can't keep up with me, fuck them, train your ass off

8647_69 · 2019-05-16T01:58:31+00:00

OfficerWade · 2019-05-16T01:59:33+00:00

It’s just not kind but yeah I experience myself hating on people who watch tv all day drinking beer, who have no friends, same shit As yesterday

RRBeachFG2 · 2019-05-16T02:31:26+00:00

I've noticed that everyone wants to talk about their future plans to get into shape, or their sudden need to get in the gym. It is pretty annoying.

Mescalean · 2019-05-16T02:34:47+00:00

Yup. Get use to it man. People who can’t compete at the game often times try to change to rules of the game. See current social/identity politics got example.

Fat or scrawny dudes will shame you. Patriarchal shitlord/s

garebear19959 · 2019-05-16T03:19:47+00:00

Went from 320lbs to 190lbs.some of the younger members of my family were jealous AF since they were and still are obese.but mostly they were all supportive.they ask for tips and when I tell them “diet is everything” they retort with “thats too much work”,then I say “try intermittent fasting”, 340lbs cousin says “I don’t want to starve myself”.

Other than that sometimes there is somebody that tries to compete with me,I’m 6ft 1 and I have a bad temper so I inadvertently intimidate the rare male shit test.

14Einsatzgruppen88 · 2019-05-16T03:20:13+00:00

all the fucking time, and i know its because of that. usually short fatties get passive aggressive

Rimefang · 2019-05-16T11:12:04+00:00

I got buff so people WOULDN'T give me shit. I was a quiet fat kid growing up, and was bullied/ridiculed alot because I always felt helpless. Didn't help that my dad did it at home too emotionally.

Nowadays, if anyone wants to give me shit, usually just a staredown will make them back the fuck off. Never again.

XXXMersenne · 2019-05-15T21:43:21+00:00

Deathstare

Not like some stick insect soyboy's gonna confront you about it.

send_it_for_the_boys · 2019-05-16T02:01:19+00:00

I get the “only dicks and douche bags go to the gym” shit like that all the time. “Yeah, girls only put dicks and douche bags in their vaginas” or fuck them up with logic, you’re such a nice guy yet you’re calling me a douche bag for bettering myself because you’re too lazy to do so? See who the real douche bag is in this scenario. I get shit about how much I eat all the time as well, “you know when you’re older you’re just gonna get fat right with all the food you eat” “you’d be a lot happier if you ate some candy or something”

Anasthaesium · 2019-05-16T03:22:19+00:00

Yeah, they stereotype me as a dumb jock.
When the chicks get to know me - they think am just a jock and ho. They never get past it to get to the nerd businessman inside

SpinPlates · 2019-05-16T03:56:05+00:00

Absolutely. Nothing is worse than diet shaming. Try to bring some meal preps into an office and watch people lose their mind.

My nickname was "catfood" for a while because my fat fuck coworker saw me eating albacore tuna right out of the can and was like "oh emm geee is that CATFOOD!?"

Also i love the "Come on man, ONE DONUT isn't going to hurt you. You workout"

jenovajunkie · 2019-05-16T04:46:00+00:00

Jealousy comes from everywhere. It's like "survivors guilt" bro, people hate you because you adhered to no one and you fought through.

You didn't just give up and become a fatty.

stiffmiester786 · 2019-05-16T06:13:33+00:00

Nothing new they're just bitter that they can't make good life style choices and that your are improving in life. I've been accused of taking steroids since I've been 12yo , I've never used any supplements apart from abit of creatine, always ate clean and worked out. Its more like they're looking at themselves in disgust as why there will power is so low that they can't do these things

celincelin · 2019-05-16T06:26:14+00:00

No idea what kind of autistic kindergarten do you live in. I’m not even big, just lean with some definition, and I only get positive comments.

The-Wizard-of-Oz- · 2019-05-16T07:01:07+00:00

Who gives a damn?

BusterVadge · 2019-05-16T11:47:11+00:00

It's the HAES (Health at any size*) movement.

*Except extremely fit. That size is NOT healthy to the HAES people.

ChadTheWaiter100 · 2019-05-16T13:09:54+00:00

Of course. What do you care if someone doesn’t agree with it? I’m younger than everyone that I work with by 25 years and I’m 28. They’re all fat fucks who drink daily. They think I’m cut bc “I have a fast metabolism”

Aymane221 · 2019-05-16T17:52:31+00:00

I’ll be waking into a bar and I can tell people look at me and want to say something and I’ll just kinda make eye contact and you can tell what they were about to say they just swallow those words right back down there throat. It’s a look they have of “god im a piece of shit guzzling down these shots and beers” and fuck this guy puts in work”. I’ll be friendly and talk to people and I can tell they want to be a dick then they look at my arms and chest etc and they just have nothing but respect.

Then you get the occasional aggressive betas
