why are 'fitness' sloots so deluded in thinking they are athletes?

[mp83]

Strong evidence to back up claim. I haven't even misced that much since the last time I talked to you. Let alone saying half a word to a mod. And nah, never had to clear inbox crew. Mind sharing that rep tracker you have with me? Because I don't actually know what it was when I last talked to you.

Srs question, do you get a ton of reps for most posts you make? I get the impression that attractive female miscers get reps real easily

[DesiredUserphag]

Most females are retarded and think they are the best thing since sliced bread until they inevitably start going downhill and into a deep depression until they cope

[SoutheastBeast1]

They technically are athletes though. You don't have to be famous or even a professional to be an athlete.

Like someone else said, the Public Figure title is the one that rustles me the most.

This isn't even a gendered thing. A few weeks ago there was a thread about NFL athletes not being able to bench as much as some 'average benchers', and in there a bunch of us destroyed the idea that someone who just benches is 'more athletic' than an NFL pro player.

But leave it to the Misc to somehow always make this about 'sloots' when IG has plenty of guys pushing low body fat percentages using gear to try to express their 'athleticism'. Just lol.

[NVious]

Normies ruin everything, but when normie women enter a space....good ****ing game.

[BraneyGumble]

Because social media degeneracy, and because people are idiots and enable them.

It's the same with the guys: celltech, lift weights, keep a nutrition plan, post some motivational crap with leased cars while frowning like Jaden Smith and bam, you're suddenly some kind of mysterious badass who puts D-Day soldiers to shame.

[AWillis]

well jason genova is a chef

[CaliSuperSport]

Totally agreed. It's funny to see people that have been into fitness for many years get annoyed with the fitness industry as a whole. Misc was amazed with bodybuilders back in the day, but when fitness fanatics (i.e. crossfitters) and aesthetics hijacked it some got annoyed buy these people becoming philosophers and athletes because they lift. It's funny really.

I noticed this too. There's probably a few reasons why, honestly I think naivete is the main reason. "Hate the game, not the player" is never more relevant than in social media.

fwiw, Arnold is probably more relevant to fitness enthusiasts than some random IG model who's aesthetic af but whose main skill is posting social media. The latter also rarely has accolades or accomplishments other than their follower count and sponsors.

totally agree, but your second paragraph is player hating. i mean it russells me too. at least train people and show the progress of the people you have trained (some of them do that).

IG model not even close to the top of the list of scumbag professions though, at least they do no harm.

I walked in a 5k walk for charity...

I am an athlete.

People just need to open their eyes. For example I don't hate on Justin Bieber anymore, partly because he was handpicked to begin with and also because he's just playing the hand given to him. People think that the cream always rises to the top so they get pissed when things don't jive with that concept, like a chitty Canadian singer who's talent is doing a supermodel pout at cameras.

You can criticize a person's methods and suggest a different path, but don't act surprised when you see some Jeff Seid making six figures off posing and pushing supps, or Sommer Ray making money off shaking her ass in a 6 second Vine. That's just the superficial way the world is.

That's a very problematic comment, are you implying that people who cannot walk can't be athletes?

Imma just put a filter or whatever on my fb profile pic in order to sympathize with all the people you offended.

[whtcoupe]

Because they get 1 million FA followers and it deludes their mind.

If you did that regularly I would consider you an athlete, srs

You mad this average looking girl is making bank by going to the gym for 1,5 hours a day? yeah you mad, enjoy your 9-5 cubecel work making pennies compared to her.

Not every post. I checked my CP just now, 4-5 were for standing up for someone/calling out hypocrisy, 3 were just straight up WKing, a couple "lol", a couple "agreeing" reps, but a bunch of them are just repping me back because I've been doing Merry Christmas reps to low reppers.

If you did that regularly I would consider you an athlete, srs

Runners are definitely athletes. Not many people can even run 3-4 miles without stopping. And it's actually a useful skill to have.

[AlamedaBoy]

Cringey as **** but I reckon most guys who peddle this have the awareness to know they really aren't. There's no way Joe Delaney thinks he's an athlete

[JaymzJ]

If you are athletic, you are an athlete/thread.

[Gainzzz]

just lmfao @ how easy it is to look good as a woman

brb don't eat complete chit 24/7

brb do some squats and cardio 3 times a week

8/10 body within 6 months

[RiceBrah93]

urine eejit

[Azzurri]

How to be a fitness IGer. Be good looking and don't eat chitty food while going to the gym. Oh yea, post about 5 'progress' pics a day to make sure people see it if they didn't catch the first 4 times you posted that day.

[ectobruh]

this is what happens when u have beta cash****s in companies

[SKBeast]

The best is when they make "inspirational" videos or post "motivational" captions on their IG photos about lifting and how they've had to come so many trials and tribulations in order to do some fukkin squats in some leggings. fok outta here

[Sanguivorant]

It annoys me more when they don't post provocative pics of them in their undies so that I can admire their athleticism.

[GreenArrow89]

lefties, sloots and all frespirits ****s love "newspeak" and sophisticated terms for all those meaningless stuff they do

they're not prostitues or whores any more, they're escorts
they don't work in ****ing coffeehouse any more, now they're baristas
they don't make sandwiches, they're "sandwich artist"
they're not some worthless con-artists or spiritual gurus, now they're "life/business/fashion coaches"
they're not sloots who flash their teddies and make money thanks to that any more, now they're "influencers" etc.

There's your answer OP.

Yeah, mad.

[300BLK]

Disgusting. Same with people who call themselves e-athletes. The word doesn't need to be changed just so people can feel important.

[kimm4]

I've always considered it a hobby and nothing more.

[faxanadu]

If you look at the video comments it is amazing how many women eat that BS chit up.

For me... you have to be one bad ass mofo in order to inspire me. People like Arnold and David Goggins who came from nothing and fought their way to the top is what inspires me. Douchey people on instagram with douchey motivational statements make me cringe hard.
