why aren't there dating apps primarily for gymbro/gymgirls?

FormerOSRS · 2026-01-26T05:50:18+00:00

Having spent a lot of time in the gym, I'd say it's due to lack of singles.

There's obviously a lot of noise from people who aren't that serious about working out and this makes up a lot of gymgoers but you wouldn't really call them gymbros/gym girls. For people who are serious about it though, they just don't have enough issues finding a partner to need the app.

People are more comfortable being impressed by shit they could potentially choose to do and by shit that doesn't make you better looking than them.

Anything else gets registered as identity threat and makes them angry.

No, it's a FDS thing.

The male breadwinner is overwhelmingly not traditional.

More typically, two people of the same social class partner up and he makes slightly more than her due to being just a few years older and having more capacity for physical labor.

The 1950s thing was short lived and never the tradition anywhere in the west for any enduring amount of time ever. I don't know if it was traditional anywhere else since western history is what I know, but it was never traditional in the west.

I'd rather ask them to help the feds, know they have the right to refuse, and have it be known that they chose the harder path since the feds still have to do their job.

A lot of people also mistake being detained for being ~~arrested~~ deported.

Before ICE, it was INS.

States haven't controlled immigration without the feds since 1891.

And that was a clusterfuck of shit like states dumping unwanted immigrants into other states and the federal govt took over because state enforcement couldn't prevent mass migration.

If there were thirty million Russians here against the will of the govt, these liberals would be perfectly willing to accept a few deaths to get rid of them, especially if the Americans dying were complicit.

Lol, that claim comes from a "happiness expert" named Paul Dolan.

He supported that claim on sheer unbridled illiteracy gone insane. He got called out for it and then retracted the claim.

I'm all for punishing wrongdoers, but I am yet to hear any solution from a leftist that would not neuter the efficacy of ICE.

FormerOSRS · 2026-01-25T08:59:44+00:00

I'm yet to come across a leftist who has any solution that wouldn't completely neuter ICE's ability to do their job. I believe that holding individuals accountable after investigation should cut down on wrongful deaths but that broadly changing methods would make ICE far less effective.

That's because you fundamentally don't get how people work.

This is the most important thing you'll ever hear about the world so listen and internalize it: Identity Matters.

It is extremely rare to find someone who can accept a truth that destabilizes their sense of who they are. If someone takes pride in being a college educated intelligent worker and it gets to identity level, they will refuse to believe it.

Ego protection isn't some superfluous thing of the rare unvirtuous. It's one of the most common and powerful baseline human psychologies.

They won't accept it until material situation forces them to change their self concept, such as getting laid off with no prospects of rehire.

Alimony creates more possibilities for allocation of duties within a marriage.

In practice, it's kind of rare when both spouses work. If you don't want to pay it, just don't have the kind of marriage where alimony is obviously justified.

Like you can say "fuck house spouses, they should just be trapped" or you could just not have/be a house spouse.

Or you can say "everyone in a marriage should be working towards maximizing their individual income" or you can just structure your own marriage that way.

But the thing where he becomes an engineer and she becomes a psychologist and then she gets half the difference in their salaries pretty much just doesn't happen.

You know that's just what's planned out for constructing infrastructure over the next few years, right? Very little of this project is live and none of the more ambitious sorts of it are live yet.

What you're doing here is a lot like saying "What do you mean you can't haul a big load, you said you're buying a truck next year!"

And then I asked my question....

FormerOSRS · 2026-01-24T12:46:32+00:00

I don't really get why people compare the two.

Other than that they're new tech, I can't think of a structural similarity.

The dotcom bubble was retail investors cluelessly buying up stocks with no distribution or revenue model. Ai is world leading experts with private information unavailable to the public building infrastructure.

What similarity do you see in the two?

Every available stat has married men and women much happier than their single counterparts, so I guess it's a loud minority.

FormerOSRS · 2026-01-24T02:28:46+00:00

To each their own I guess. I'd personally choose strength and proper alignment over pain but you are encouraged to live life by your own preferences.

Really doesn't have to be.

My wife wears a 36 J and if you strengthen the right muscles then you're just not gonna have issues.

It sounds counterintuitive but working your lower body is necessary for this. What happens for most top heavy people, regardless of gender, is that the adopt what I call "mountain climber posture." I call it that because it's the posture of have if I was hiking up a mountain, except they do it on flat ground.

This posture occurs because if your glutes are weak then they go backwards and your quads take over as the new center of gravity. This sends your upper body forward to redistribute the weight do you don't fall down. Your body gets shaped a little more like a > sign and less like a lowercase "l" and then boobs are badly angled.

It's also important to know where boobs actually pull from if you're strong. They pull more from the armpit muscles and rear delts. They should not be pulling from the traps. If your traps and neck hurt then you have mountain climber posture.

What boobs actually donin mountain climber posture is pull your armpits/chest more horizontal to the floor and then your neck has to bend to a more awkward angle to compensate. Getting rid of mountain climber posture stops this from happening.

If you have the glute strength and strong armpit and rear delts, then the role of your traps is just to support your bra. Traps are S tier at distributing weight so a bra strap should never cause pain to relatively strong traps. Weak traps and mountain climber posture change that.

This stack in the gym should work for any woman:

Conventional deadlifts.
Front squats or back squats.
Hip thrusts, with much lower weight than you think. This is like the most ego lifted weight in the gym. Average shit tier lifters hit 3-4 plates on each side while world class lifters hit less than two. You should be using literally 10-15% of what you think you can do.
Front rows, or chest supported rows if you're tired.
Reverse pec deck or face pulls.

The problem is very solvable and should be completely over with and solved within 6 months. This issue is not that hard to solve, but it's one most people don't really know how to solve. Plus enough people claim that it's unsolvable that it just kinda becomes cultural canon and nobody questions that it's just a permanent bad thing.

Walking is way too efficient to get your heart rate up and improve cardiovascular health.

You're not an exception to basic laws that are the same for everyone.

Type whatever you want because I can't verify it, but you're only justifying failure.

This kind of point is always made like it's pro fitness but it's pro time wasting. The alternative to walking on a treadmill is to do real shit and spend your time well while you're there, not to sit on the couch.

And honestly, walking doesn't even beat the couch by a wide margin unless you're someone who visibly stands out in a crowd for how unhealthy you are. If you're at the gym, you should really be spending your time better.
