    These third spaces don’t have to be exclusively young men

    Average age of the membership was 46. That doesn’t sound “young” to me.

    Some men are just eager to have a communal workout environment that doesn’t have gym thots preening their thirst trap poses all over the place

      I feel like that’s more a problem of whatever specific gyms you are going to. Ones I go to have usually have signs up saying no cameras allowing people to just focus on their own workout. Regardless, the point is that if you want to help people overcome their “the world is against me, no woman wants me” mind set of an incel, there should be more spaces that let people interact with others outside of online algorithm controlled or bot account flooded social media platforms. Places to meet and converse with real people of any gender. All of a sudden they will probably realise that most people are actually nice. Most people don’t generally go around trying to make people feel shit or uncomfortable.

        LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

        Imagine not wanting any hot women around.

        Classic MGTOW vibes here

        Imagine being the guy whose primary excuse to go to the gym is to “ogle hot women”.

        Yeah, you’re a real progressive guy.

        The sign of a man with experience is when he’s become sick of women’s shit.

        The woman I am married to - which BTW, makes me wholly ineligible for MGTOW status - is one of the few women out there I actually want to spend time with beyond social niceties. I have zero interest in the vast majority of women out there - regardless of “hotness” - because I have come to know how women in general act and react; what their motivations are and how they approach life in general. And that just makes me wholly uninterested in them.

        Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely be polite and civil to women. I have absolutely no problem socializing with them and making them feel appreciated and valued as I would any human being, regardless of gender (or fractional thereof). I just have no interest in them as women.
