[@KotleKettle]

There is no such a thing as "toxic" masculinity. Masculinity is masculinity.

[@mortdeus]

They hate it because they can't have it. If you haven't noticed these peoples primary complaint is that they arent positioned to succeed in this country. They believe that things like the "American Dream" are too fundamentally hard to obtain and they even go as far as saying that its impossible for everybody to succeed. And they are 100% right. That doesnt mean the people who can actually win in society should give it up. Its not our fault that God (or mother nature, whoever you believe the dealer is in this cosmological poker game) dealt them a bad hand. Im just saying I am getting really tired of these people trying to justify the reasons why they need to enslave the rest of us who get up everyday and work hard to get the things we want in this society. They just want everything to be free. Well ill tell you something there is no such thing because somebody had to work to produce the resources they consume like the rest of us. They want us to bake their cake so they can eat it too, and it just doesnt work that way. And no matter how many times they try to argue with us like little children in a candy store. The answer is no. Ill literally eat the candy i bought with my own money right in front of you to show you how little i care if you allow yourself to starve to death... Im just saying they say impossible beauty standards when they literally work hard everyday to make themselves ugly. Im just saying i would rather send food stamps to a really poor country in Africa than to keep paying for LAs unsustainable economy and to have these people riot because the handouts arent enough. When will people understand that welfare is slavery of the contributing class so that democrats can get all the power? This is just the same old con of slavery sold under a different banner. Until people wake up and realize these woke people intend to enslave all of us and our children to their needs, FOREVER... Im just saying Americans are stupid that we keep arguing about an acceptable degree of societal slavery. The founding fathers would be turning in their graves right now realizing we have given up our human rights of autonomy so easily to people who dont see welfare as a form of reparations. They say welfare is christian charity. I say its egyptian slavery all over again...

[@nukiesduke6868]

[@parkersmith8997]

Dude if that’s what is talked about at the gym I better start going

[@vaskar1017]

Really? most people who go to gym have/ start to develop low self esteem because when they work out and start to look better, a standard is being set in their mind that they feel like they need to meet or maintain but as working out need dedicating and hard work which is not always an easy case in life when they fail to meet their self established "minimum standard" they become miserable and bitter, also no matter how much you say 'i work out for myself', there is always an element of wanting people's admiration and attention to a degree being one of the key elements in motivating to work out in the first place. What I'm saying is people are superficial and this superficialities can manifest in various ways and lifestyles. And many times superficialities and philosophies often sound similar.

[@RecklessInternetting]

Go to gym, turn on podcast, work out brain and body. Or just pump iron while listening to Brett Cooper

[@sabintee9232]

I used to be liberal. Then I started working out and got out of depression. Eventually my brain fog cleared. This lead me to thinking clearly, leading me to be more conservative. This is a true story

[@aaronwylie6928]

Its amazing what happens to your mind when you strengthen yourself such that you are no longer chained by anxiety and self-doubt

[@LaMach420]

This is so fucking funny

[@n.mw3_]

Yo me too bro

[@kpegc]

I relate to your story as well. At first, working out was a way for me to relieve stress induced from school and the general awkwardness of being a rather directionless teenager. It was a much better outlet for me as someone who had just overcome self-harm and was working on getting out of depression. Then, I felt so good after that first gym visit that I decided to keep doing it. I started using either little or no extra weight on the equipment, and then worked my way up as I got used to the equipment and felt the time was right to make my workout a little tougher and longer over the years. COVID hit, and then the option to go to a gym was taken away from me. I had already learned about the importance of fitness and good health considering that my dream job is rather punishing on the body, so I came to a realization. If I wanted to stay fit, I'd have to find a way to do that at home. I bought some dumbbells and a push up bar, and came to use those as often as I used to go to the gym (around 3 times a week) and combined them with "bare-body" exercises like burpees, pull-ups, and sit-ups. Then I learned about just how fit I would have to be not just to do my dream job, but do everything else I wanted to do my life and considerably reduce my chances of developing long-term health problems. By the time I chose to cancel my gym membership since I had been exercising at home for about a year, I had already started working out for at least one hour every day and doing smaller ones in addition to that one if I had been just sitting down for more than 30 minutes. Now, I work out every day for a little over an hour, and I think I do so on average for about 2 hours everyday when these little workouts are combined with my big hour-long one. Perhaps coincidentally, my political views became more pro-freedom and populism; similar to yours, and I no longer consider myself depressed. In a way, the lockdowns unlocked some new potential in me. Now, fitness is one of the best parts of my life because I feel the rewards for doing it even when I have doubts are so massive. For anyone who's nervous or intimidated about how or when to start: just do it. Start with what you know you can handle, make a routine out of it, and you'll be amazed at how far you go. You can do it.

Each time even if my weight goes back up my size doesn't go as high because I'm stronger each time and have more muscle to rely on as my base.

He never actually said that in any philosophical text. Bodybuilding was only popularized in the late 1800s by Eugen Sandow who was from Germany. Before that, there were strong men but nobody built muscle for the purpose of looking good. Those who were muscular were genetically gifted or had lived through a lot of hardship and developed their muscles for survival in a harsh environment. Socrates was talking about the mind and maybe even cardiovascular endurance, not aesthetics. The person who wrote that quote and popularised it is extremely misinformed.

Thank you. I remember when I was a kid my dad making me feel bad for not being that strong. He made me do push-ups pull ups. I went to work and lifting heavy rocks all the time, and I started lifting weights in high school. Now I’ve learned that lifting training it does make you feel good, and I am impressed with what the human body can do. There have been times where I tried to show people what the human body can do by doing certain pull ups, or lifting certain things, and they call me a show off. I used to get confused because I thought I’m not trying to glorify what I can do. I’m trying to show you what you too are capable of with the right amount of effort and time.

Ya not many but they’re obnoxiously vocal about it. Its also just a really large misinterpretation of what the idea of fat acceptance is. The idea behind fat acceptance is built on this idea that you shouldn’t judge someone cause they’re fat I mean most people who are fat know it and don’t need a wake up call. What they may need is to be appreciated for who they are and probably therapy to deal with why they gained weight in the first place. Otherwise most people who try to lose weight fail because they don’t keep it off after losing it.

They tried to sabotage it from the beginning & they still is, but it doesn't stop the game for being the number 1. Non-gamers even bought it & gave it to their nephews or cousins.

When ppl talk about fatphobia, it makes want to workout. Story time: I did track and field all throughout middle school and high school. One day I was at a family reunion and met one of my dad’s cousins. She was morbidly obese and literally could not walk. When my dad mentioned that I did track, she then said, “Oh I did track in high school too! I loved running.” In that moment, I hid it, but a new fear was unlocked. How could someone who loves running, become so overweight that she can no longer walk?? That moment has always stuck with me, and now that I’m out of highschool and not training everyday, I’m not as in shape as I would like to be (not overweight in the slightest, but I don’t like not having abs lol). I try to eat healthy and workout when I have the time, but sometimes that moment pops back up and legitimately get scared. I never want to be immobile. Ever. I never want to be unable to run, much less stand. If that makes me fatphobic, so be it.

[@HeKenMars4Ever]

I just found new inspiration to stay on track! Thank you! Also this 'fat-phobic' movement has made me want to do it harder and better, just out of spite.

[@scromly1169]

Damn that's a powerful realization. I have always been very strong and healthy growing up because my dad made me wrestle from second grade to my freshman year of highschool (and I thank him for it every day). But now that I'm on my own, I hadn't been working out like I used to, and I've never gotten fat, or too unhealthy, but I've always remembered how great I felt as a healthy young man and how I used to be able to do any physical feat that I wanted to do without question because my body was just simply capable of doing it. I saw my younger brother one day working out and he was starting to get huge and that motivated me to get a gym membership. It's been around a month and a half now and I've gone every week, six days of the week. I see my muscles coming back, and I'm watching my strength come back as well as my energy levels and motivation. Being immobile is a terrifying thing to imagine when you can remember what it feels like to be healthy. One big motivator that got me back into it consistently was that multiple friends of mine went to the gym so now we hold each other accountable. So, what I wanna say is if you struggle with the consistency a bit (I've been there big time) reaching out to a friend and getting a gym membership together will help immensely. Anyways, take it easy and I wish you happy days!

Also, I had a similar situation. I was in track only for a few semesters of highschool. But when covid hit The States in 2020, that summer was so bad for me. Since I was actually a bit nervous to go out and infect/get infected, I simply didn't move. So I became disappointed in myself for making great progress with my stamina, body, and mind only to let myself go even worse in about the same amount of time it took me to become at my best. (Sorry if this was put into words a little weird). It's an important lesson to learn, so I am happy I got to be taught it. Anyway, 20 US pounds gone and ready to lose more!

[@cydrych]

I’m a fat guy, far less so than I was a year ago but still working to get to a healthy weight. They are right about one thing, I am fat phobic, I am afraid of what being fat has done to me. For most of my life I was in good shape, I worked out and trained in various disciplines of the martial arts until I had some serious injuries that made me stop. I gained over 100 pounds in less than a year and developed heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and lost physical strength. Depression kicked in and I started eating more and put on another 75 pounds in 6 months. I went from 195 pounds to 380 pounds in 18 months. I am now 230 pounds after 2 years of hard work and strict diet. I’m off the blood pressure medication and the diabetes medication, I’m regaining my strength and my joints don’t hurt nearly as bad as they used to. So yes, I am afraid of being fat, it is a dangerous way to live and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. For the inevitable question, I am on a nearly carnivore diet. I eat beef, pork, eggs, cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, mushrooms and spinach. I give myself one day each month to eat whatever I want. For exercise I walk. I’m hoping to be able to get back in the gym soon.

I never acted like I was superior, never put it in anyone's face, or tried to make others feel bad for not doing what I chose to do. We all have choices, right? But I still received that attitude.

I started out as a fat nerd with people in my age group making fun of me for being ugly and uninteresting, so I always thought going to the gym full of big strong dudes would be horrible. Went there, lost weight, and became one of them since all those men did during that time was cheer me on to become stronger and healthier. Now the people that previously made fun of me for being an ugly nerd made fun of me for taking the gym too seriously and told me I was hating fat people now. Then it hit me. These people don't really care about self improvement, neither for themselves nor for other people, all they do is drag people down. The people at my gym praised me for my progress, found my nerdy interests to be fun and wanted to see me grow as a person instead of being depressed and dragging other people down.

@@ttv9329 Thank you for your carefully constructed genuine answer. It certainly clarifies your stance. I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with those people so frequently but It’s great to see you’ve bettered yourself and experienced authentic support while on that journey. When first reading your original post, I thought you hinted on a negative spiral. That going to the gym only isolated you from “society” even more. I’m relieved that initial assertion of mine turned out to be false.

I started boxing some weeks ago and it is amazing. The training is intense and every day I feel more in control of my body, but the thing I love the most is the people. I had some fears before starting boxing because I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others, and I am a fat man who can't follow the fast pace of the training. But the people in the gym aren't how I imagined them to be. They are friendly, they give me advices to increase my resistance, sometimes they help me with my training to push myself beyond my limits. I return every night with my body destroyed but with a warm feeling that I acomplished something great. It's a shame I have no time to talk more with them, they seem like people I want to hang out with. I used to hate exercise, but this feeling of accomplishment and the atmosphere of camaraderie in that gym is great, almost intoxicating. I prefer this feeling over the sadness of being in my bed doing nothing. So, all of the positive things I talked about are now things of the evil nazi far right? Then this article does wonders to make it seem more apealing than being on the left. Congratulations, you played yourselves.

Fun fact: Many ancient Greek philosophers typically congregated at the gym. From the Wikipedia dumpster fire: "Historically, the gymnasium was used for exercise, communal bathing (Thermae), and later scholarly and philosophical pursuits." Plato himself was famous for his wrestling ability and was himself an Olympic athlete.

I always disliked my body size. I always felt fat and I hated it but I never had enough motivation to do anything about it. I recently decided I was gonna start exercising and eating better and I was in a different mindset this time and really wanted to do it, not because I wanted to be thin so much as I just enjoyed taking care of my body and it felt good. I feel much better, I have more energy, I'm more active physically and socially and I'm finally happy with how I look. And looking good wasn't even my goal, it was just the cherry on top.

I am Apache Indian. Extreme mountain running has been part of our culture for thousands of years. When I lived in FL I found it was flat, so I resorted to gym training to train for mountain running races in the Rocky Mountains. I am also Catholic and went to Notre Dame. Gym training is part of campus activities. It’s like that in FL and AZ. Regular exercise is important for prevention of health problems like diabetes or heart disease.

When I was at my lowest, dealing with past trauma and depression, I started going to the gym after less than a year of pretty much training at high intensity and achieving what people usually do in years in months. I have to say nothing feels better than maxing out equipment, putting enough plates on so there is no more space on the barbell or using the highest-weight dumbells. After you get a pump and finish a 2 to 3-hour workout, you get a sense of accomplishment and happiness you don't get from stuffing your face or watching a movie. On the other hand, people promoting fat acceptance hate everything about themselves and are trying to get everyone else fat to feel better about themselves. Even current media, instead of promoting hard work, promotes stagnation and laziness. Any current cartoon or animation children watch nowadays promotes being a loser that lacks discipline until you are given a special ability or just wake up fit or beautiful, and any stories that do otherwise or disagree with diversity for the sake of diversity get cancelled and reviewed bombed. Parents leave their children to be indoctrinated by such ideas until they actually do join the gym and learn; otherwise, they will not know any better. This also leads to many people that quickly give up if they do not see results quickly enough. Out of all the bad that came from TikTok, the new wave of young men joining the gym is great, and I wish I had also been convinced to do so when I was a young teen. Seeing people with physiques you can aspire to achieve can be a high motivator, and with GymTok and KZbin, men do have that.

My grandfather was a 4th dan in Judo, a 4th degree black belt in BJJ, and a black belt in Ju-Jutsu. He was a combat instructor while he was in the Marine Corps, and he started training my brother and I in these martial arts from an early age. My brother is 13 months older than me, and my grandfather told us both we had to be a whole hand before he would start training us. So my brother started training a little over a year before I did. By the time I was 18 I had obtained black belts in these martial arts myself. I later joined the Marines and obtained black belt instructor status in MCMAP (Marine Corps Martial Arts Program). I grew up in the gym in order to stay fit enough to effectively practice these martial arts. During my 3rd tour I was severely injured. I was shot twice. One of the bullets ended up hitting my ribcage and sent fragments hurling into my spine. Luckily the trauma I sustained didn't cause any permanent damage, but I did end up having to learn to walk again in physical therapy because of the injury. I could have given up and stayed in a wheelchair for hell of a lot longer than I did. The reason I didn't is because of the never surrender attitude taught to me by my grandfather as well as my time in the military. Going to the gym helped me to regain strength and function in my legs. So if going to the gym makes me a far right extremist, I'll gladly wear that badge with honor.

[@TheBaumcm]

I thank you and your granddad for your service! Awesome that you were able to appreciate and honor his legacy. More amazing still that you were able to recover from that. One thing I know is that spirit has a lot to do with it. Met a guy who had been a career Marine from WWII through to just before Vietnam. He was 95 and still up and walking around. Even with everything he saw, he said that every day he could put his feet in the ground was a good day. I think Marines are just built differently in the head, in a good way though, built to endure.

[@rebeccaanderson4445]

[@xSamWaynex]

@@TheBaumcm I appreciate the compliment, and I agree *some* marines certainly are built different haha. My grandfather was awarded two purple hearts (well one purple heart, and then a star indicating his second if you want to get technical haha). He was one of the bravest men I ever knew, and I can honestly say if it wasn't for his guidance, not outright direction, but clear guidance I would never have become the man I have. Talking with some of his older Marine buddies, they were definitely cast from a much tougher mold. I don't think I could ever put myself on their level, especially my grandfathers. Call it hero worship or whatever, I just hope to be someone he could be proud of day in and day out....sorry for the rant haha.

The gym mentality is all based on you get what you work for, you work hard, struggle thru pain and suffering, being proud of your accomplishments. Having something to show at the end that you worked hard for. It also shows drive and determination. Dedication and and a will not to quit. These are qualities we should encourage in everyone.
