Why are guys at the gym so pretentious? I go to my local gym 3 days a week after work just to keep in shape and improve my mental health as it keeps my depression away and the men there are insufferable. If they aren't hitting on me they are talking to other men about how hot some woman is or making comments about someone else working out. Not a single thing they ever say has substance it's just mindless babble about tits, sex or muscles, I have also found this to be the case with gym rats outside of the gym. I get that men are men and talk with the guys about whatever but it seems to be a 24/7 thing. I would ideally like to find a guy as into fitness as I am without it being all they think or talk about and without them being just a flat out moron. Tips?
Why are guys at the gym so pretentious...
Go to other gyms.
What the fuck kind of tips could be offered for how you can find someone you like?
You know you don't like who is at your gym. Change your environment.
Don't look for fit guys in the gym. How about places like the library n shit?
That's kind of the problem is I find that no matter where I meet them they all sort of end up the same.
larping faggot jelly of chad
I am not looking for dating tips I am looking for tips on as to why they are like this and how to get around it I guess?
Then you aren't actually looking for tips at all.
i don't talk to anyone at the gym
not because i don't want to but i am such a sweaty guy, i figure anyone that doesn't break the ice is grossed out by me
I found the meathead gymrat to be completely wrong in my experience. I'm still new and DYEL, but I've done Gold's and my local PL gym and everyone I've dealt with for the most part has been a total bro. I'm a fucking nerd, and lifters are way less pretentious than most "nerd" subcultures that I've dealt with, from worst to least

conversation is difficult.
unless you have a real gift of gab, you need the other half to contribute.
maybe you are too passive in conversation and they don't know how to move beyond simple topics with you
