Bigger guys, did you ever notice that people talk trash about you at the gym?

[Not_Average]

I was talking to a girl I dated a long time ago and I was a bodybuilder at the time. She told me that her personal trainer that worked there didn’t like me. She told me a lot of other guys made comments as well. It was all men. I was a big dude. Usually the biggest one at the time, but I always went out of my way to help others and be kind. I picked up after myself. Cleaned the equipment. I was extremely courteous to other people trying to use equipment. This was just a normal big chain gym. The negative comments ranged from so many things and I had been nice to a lot of these specific people. A lot of the shit they said was not even true. I guess I was kind of surprised hearing all this. A lot of guys loved talking to me at the gym and a lot of guys just hated me from afar. Have any other bigger guys dealt with this? How did it make you feel?

I dont know your girl but either
1. She gaslighting you. Which you would know by now what her character is like.
2. People just don't like you. There are people in this world who though they aren't bad people just rub others the wrong way.
3. Someone was going around the gym spreading lies about you. Happened to a friend of mine, some guy he was competing for a promotion with turned his whole office against by false rumours.

Yep. Gym people tend to be douchebags. But that's to be expected, so it's no surprise.

Who gives a shit what some gym bros say? Just wear headphones listen to music and pretend they don't exist.

success breeds jealousy, but i had some guys come up to me and ask how they could get similar results as well. I kept to myself and ignored many of the other people
