nice, a fellow clowncel.
i know what you mean, i quit going for that same reason. i couldn't cope with being surrounded by guys who height+framemogged me and who were better looking. why bother bench pressing when you have 5" wrists? it's utterly pointless. also i have a quick story to tell that happened last fall, back when i started up. there was a group of 3, 2 guys and a girl. the girl was hot, her bf was a chad-lite except he was a manlet at 5'9", his friend was maybe a 4.5/10. anyways i recall being near them one time when I overheard him say that someone who goes to the same gym "looks like an incel." he made comments about him balding and just having an ugly face. hearing that made me stop what I was doing, i had never in my life heard someone use the word "incel" in public. that's when I realized how serious this shit has gotten. that you can actually be targeted as an ugly male, through no fault of your own. just being ugly makes you a threat, it's fucking ridiculous. how can these people be against some forms of discrimination, like racism or sexism for example, but then hate on a guy for his ugly looks (that he doesn't control nor can change!)
