    In reality, almost no one gives a fuck or notices anyone else in the gym. The only time this isn’t the case is when you’re nervous about fucking up or doing something wrong, or you’re a woman and you’re worried that guys are perving on you.

    • As a woman, men in gyms can be the worst. And it’s not just perving, there is also the approaching to “help” with clearly ulterior motive (why help me who already figured her shit out, why not help the boy on the other machine who struggles?)

    The exact same joke would work without the girl looking down on the guy. Just being increasingly impressed with his commitment rather than assuming it doesn’t exist.

      Almost, but because they never mention anything about her wanting to date him or not it’s more of a “hater” comic. The woman character could just as easily been a man, but they chose woman and I think thats great.

      Yo just saying that first goal is easier to achieve in the kitchen than in the gym. It’s not the first time you heard it probably but I recently lost some weight to be back to 70kg without any exercise, just watched my intake for a while mostly just cutting on alcohol and high sugar stuff tbh.

        I know; I’m down almost 20kg over the last couple years by cutting out snacks and caloric drinks and portion control.

        Increasing muscle increases metabolism, makes you burn fat faster. Do both

          Both work. But going to the gym also means you start on your next goal much sooner— build muscle.
