It surprises me though is how often I end up at the bodybuilding.com forums just through random google searches for all sorts of things, almost completely unrelated to bodybuilding. At some point it kinda hit me that this place must get a lot of traffic to appear so high in google indexes consistently so I checked out their forum stats:

Threads 6,485,629 Posts 124,189,084 Members 11,019,237

Not only does that put us to shame but from alexa rankings they're even higher than 4chan, 295 vs 371 (we're 1531 lol). Interestingly, the part of the forum with with ~75% of the posts is the misc section, and in that forum the most popular subforums are relationships, politics, and sports, basically the equivalents of en, dnd, sam with the rest of it basically being gbs.

Now it's pretty common to see references to or threads almost entirely about reddit and 4chan, in large part because of how much more mainstream they are, but I don't really see people quote stuff from the bodybuilding forums. Which is surprising because it's like through the looking glass, I mean they have a thread about that lion and someone posted:

Would the media have the same reaction if it was Tyrone the ebony lion?

#BlackLionsMatter

Kind of odd where communities grow, I remember posting a lot on the wotc forums when I was super young and inevitably it was the random misc section where people talked about current events, overshared about their lives, and just generally bullshited around that were the most popular.

It doesn't surprise me he would post there, they even have a very popular thread

ツ Forever Alone Crew ツ Part III, looks like the third iteration of a popular megathread.

with posts you could take straight out of e/n

quote:

Alright FA brahs. Went to my second social (dating) event, only to find the place empty. I guess there was a mix up of some kind because the people there had nothing scheduled tonight, but the email said the event was tonight. On my way home on the train, this really cute chick sits next to me. Couldn't find a way to open up. fml
but my favorites are the ones trying be be alphas

quote:

Hit double figures lol, last smash was July and didn't even enjoy it


On that disregard females, acquire aesthetics time now.

Feels like too much effort to go out, talk to sloots, jump through hoops to impress them, either smash on the night/get their number to try and smash later...phone them/txt them, they respond or they don't, they agree to meet but then bail...and when they do actually meet up they are the most boring human beings to ever exist and the only reason I tolerate being there is because of their tits.

Other FAs think girls are awesome but they really can be annoying at times...brb dates, brb listening to her ramble on about $hit I don't care about, brb spend money on them, brb waste time doing $hit they want rather than $hit you want to do, brb pretending to like them just to get your dick wet.




At least on my foreveralone time I can do what the fukk I want, when I want, irrespective of sloots. If I want to bust my nut I'll just fap. I literally have no need for females in my life at all right now, apart from pornstars I fap to.

Don't have any female friends (don't want any either...I'm not a phaggot that will go handbag shopping with them). Female friends are only good for sex and for setting you up with other girls/increasing your social value (e.g. group of 4 guys in a club on their own = much harder to get sloots, whereas a group of 1 guy 3, or 2 girls 2 guys in a club= much easier for the guys to get sloots), or to get free $hit from WKs (e.g. whiteknight buys drinks for your group because he thinks she'd like that $hit). Since I don't care about that stuff, I have no need for females.

I can focus on other things I want to do...e.g. kick rear end in studies, cut down to sub 10% bf, do celltech once I'm sub 10% bf, read books I've wanted to read for some time, do some #YOLO crazy stuff on impulse, get off antidepressants etc

poverty ghost was an old bodybuilding meme

basically nerds need to realize that they no longer rule the internet; the jocks and selfie whores eternally clutching their cell phones have restored the natural order of the world :biotruths:

You can't go to the gym every other day of the week and be at the gym 5 days a week. It's impossible.
