Some of the things I have seen and all they do is make the guy look insecure and weak....

Speeding in the parking lot with a convertible thinking they look cool and women will notice

Slamming weights and grunting thinking they look cool and women will notice

And my favorite.....

A guy who rides a motorcycle and walks through the door to the locker room (has to walk about 50 yards in the middle of the gym) still wearing his motorcycle helmet. Now of course, I understand you can't leave the helmet outside, but wouldn't you take it off and carry it instead of wearing it?

My only explanation is this "Hey ladies, look at me, I ride a motorcyle and I am a "bad boy" daredevil.

Pathetic.

Haha, I literally just watched this trailer the other day.

Gutter ball and Skank were great and the girl was a smoke show.

Are you sure they are doing it because they are looking for women’s attention? How do you know?

I think you are projecting here a little.

What else could it be?

Dropping weights is context dependent. Dropping a weight while power cleaning or doing a dead lift is more likely acceptable than dropping it after a lateral raise. Some people slam weights after completing a big PR, and it could be justified. I think most people that slam weights do it because they can’t handle the weights.

Car guys like listening to the exhaust of their vehicles because they like the sound. They rev their engines. Some people like to race. The kid in a hatchback at a red light might be an inconsiderate idiot but the reality is, he might actually be a douche.

Not sure about the helmet but the guy might think it is easier to take it to the locker room on his head instead of his hand.

Just because you think about impressing women 24/7 doesn’t mean the rest of the world operates that way. Again, projecting.

I think like 95% of guys really don't understand that not showing off something you have and not braggin about will actually make you cooler, since you are not attention whoring. It's counterintuitive to them. Many of the guys who complain about "female attention whoring on social media" do the same sh*t but in a different manner.

And no, wearing helmet inside is just stupid. You can't see around properly.

Also, revving your engine at a stop light or parking lot is the basically the same as wearing an overly slim XS t-shirt while being jacked. Both is showoff. You are screaming "look at me".

Sometimes slamming weight and grunting is a result of actually putting in work and not caring what's going on around you.

If you are lifting heavy enough to challenge yourself eventually you will reach that point. And if you don't, I'd say that you aren't really challenging yourself enough.

But you can usually tell who the people are that are there on a business trip versus those who are there as a hobby just by looking at them most times.

OP

Focus on yourself

Leave the idiots being idiots. If it’s as lame as you say, than better.

It is the small dog that makes up for his size with his annoying barking.

(Although I have to agree that some grunting is expected on a gym setting)

I disagree.

1. If I have a motorcycle, wearing the helmet inside is cringe as fvck
2. Speeding in a parking lot is childish and immature, also dangerous
3. Rev the engine for no reason in the parking lot is to seek attention " Hey everyone look how loud my cat-back exhaust is" I know, I've done, its fun, but the truth is the truth
4. Slamming weights and grunting hard is very cringe and attention seeking as fvck. There is a way of dropping the weights, its called "Controlled Manner" (unless deadlift), trying to not make noise for respect to others, not like throwing like the mic that Obama tossed.

Those are the gymcels everyone talks about.

Why are you so angry at the guy? You ok buddy?
It is disingenuous to say that because OP is in a seduction forum and thinking about p00sy all the time the guy walking around with a helmet from the entrance of the gym to the locker room is doing so because of female attention.

The guy driving a Lamborgini or a motorcycle at 200 km/hr in the highway is an idiot but I doubt he is doing for validation.

OP just came across as a hater in this post. I think instead of calling these people "weak and insecure" he is being AMOGed and he feels inferior. That is how it looks to me. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I'm being a hater....haha.

And every guy thinks about ***** all the time including yourself.

You said I am projecting. Projecting is when there are behaviours you do yourself and you don't like it, so you call other people out on it.

I would never speed through a parking lot, throw weights or wear my motorcycle helmet inside just to impress people (most likely women) so how can you say I'm projecting?

Know your definitions before you post about it.

Sicarios always keep their helmets on to remain anonymous after they shoot their target and make a getaway.

Also, trying to impress anyone is lame. All the times someone is genuinely impressed, it is mostly unprompted by braggadocio.

I think like 95% of guys really don't understand that not showing off something you have and not braggin about will actually make you cooler, since you are not attention whoring.
Exactly. If you need to impress a woman to attract her attention, you're already qualifying for her when she should be qualifying for you.

Well, it speaks clearly in the assumptions that guys are trying to impress women. For all you know they are gay and are trying to impress other gay males.

I'm an experienced (formerly professional) motorcyclist. You are right, I wouldn't go into a shop / gym / bar / whatever wearing my helmet. Since I wear motorcycle gear, I also wouldn't need to be wearing/carrying my helmet for people to understand that I ride a motorcycle.

However, when I was a motorcycle courier picking up and dropping off packages all over town, I wore my helmet indoors because I would only spend a few minutes inside. Just like motorcycle cops keep their helmet on unless they take a break.

The guy in the example by OP probably wasn't a motorcycle professional, so his behaviour was just ridiculous. I doubt if any ladies are impressed by a motorcyclist who doesn't know he should remove his helmet once he's away from the motorcycle.

Projection is when someone attributes their own negative (or positive) feelings, flaws, and other quirks onto someone else or another group, and usually onto someone with whom they are having a disagreement. - https://www.mytherapist.com/advice/...chology-and-what-does-it-reveal-about-people/

So, are we jealous that these people are trying to impress others at the gym and you can't compete with them so you call them weak and insecure, or are you more like the old man yelling at the cloud, finding pleasure in judging and criticizing others as a way to feel superior?

Which one is it OP? I’d bet your ego gets a boost either way.
