Maybe one of these days I’ll have an actual conversation with a woman again (outside of work related convos).

    “I’ve been watching you from over there, and was wondering whether to come up to you to talk, but I couldn’t help myself… So I’ve come to tell you your squat form is terrible and you’ve taken over half an hour here doing your non-exercise. Give someone else a chance on the squat rack.”

      “Also, the silver lining for me is that when you blow your back out, you won’t be here at the gym taking up space for a few days.”

      😂 ngl I was scrolling through lemmy when this happened. Social ineptitude aside, I am happy to say my squats are tidy (but I have seen some guys roll their lower back dipping down, sending hips forward instead of backwards 😬).

    “It’s all yours, let me know if you need a spotter.”

    Would you have been unhappy if another guy did the same?

    Would you see it as an opportunity to make a friendly “nod to” acquaintance?

    A link in the net between you and the abyss?

    Women can nod, too. Even pretty ones.
