Back in the day, Men used to work real fucking jobs where they had to use their body all day. Think agriculture, factory work, non-mechanized construction; the shit that actually made the world go round. Now all we have are a bunch of lazy do-nothing types who sit on their asses and code for 50 hours before attempting to justify their pitiful existence through garbage food and video games. The gym wasn't needed for people 50 years ago because the world was their gym and they were actually allowed to act like Men in public without some purple-haired baboon telling them to check their privilege.
I lift because, in spite of my otherwise grotesque looking features, I take pride in my health and don't want my testosterone levels to drop to Buzzfeed staff levels by the time I'm 40. It certainly isn't a requirement to go to the gym if you're a dude, but any Man with a hint of self-respect at least takes time to keep himself in shape. I would recommend gym coping to everyone on this server because it does absolutely help your mental health. Anyone who goes to the gym for Women is a fool though, a chiseled body is only an accessory item to them.
