Why does the population of arrogant men seem to be increasing?

[justsomeguy]

Too fuckin' right, cobber.

In fact, this is a pet hate of mine.

Fucking women cluttering up my gym. They're always bloody minging around the free weights floor playing with 2.5kg dumbbells when I want to set up for deadlifts, or taking up the incline bench under the watchful eye of their wizened, ponytailed, over-tanned personal trainer while they do something incomprehensible involving balancing a swiss ball on their nose, or just generally being annoying and non-focused individuals in a place that should be all about very loud heavy metal music and grunting noises.

But.

If I tried to open a men-only gym, what would happen?

A. Everyone would assume it was for homosexuals, rather than men who wanted to focus on their training instead of their sexuality for a measly hour or two. And believe me, training at your average co-ed gym gets one focusing on non-training matters far more than is optimal.

B. Someone would take me to court for discriminating against women. And I'd be sentenced to death by nagging.

She's a hard life being a white middle-class male in twenty-first-century New Zealand.

God I love a good late-night rant.

You need a new gym, unless you choose to go to those posh places reserved for people with more money than sense.

If East try East Tamaki Health and Fitness.

Central - Jordan's Sport and Rec

City - Clive Greens

Oh and tough guy - go and stand next to the female thing and the hired libido booster (Personal Trainer) and ask them if you can use the machine/weight area. PT's have the same right to using the gym as you.

Some of them like to think otherwise, but they can go fuck themselves.

Been to many, many gyms there and other parts of the world, never had an issue with the above.... but then I choose the strength and bodybuilding gyms... if you tell me you go to Bodytech then....... ......

As for this thread question - don't women like bastards who slap them around and treat them like shit???

Cos they sure don't seem to like nice guys.........

Oh, Dan. You're going to all the wrong places. If you want a nice, stuffy, sweaty place where you can grunt away to your heart's content without being assailed by the 'personal trainer, nip n' tuck' mob, you have to spend less money. Far less money.

The upmarket places are all about people focusing on their sexuality rather than their training- hence the lycra, mirrors and floor to ceiling windows.

Personally, I love it when I get some yuppy standing there giving me the evils when I'm using 'his' machine. It's very motivating, and I tend to find it leads to lots and lots of extra reps.

[White trash]

Just read the first post in this thread, cant be fucked reading the rest.

It occurs to me that you should all HARDEN THE FUCK UP!!!

You start posting after all these years and choose the Girly forum to make your grand entrance?

I think you need to grow some balls my friend.

I train here.



It's one block away from home. How can I not? I live in Devonport. Commuting to work is bad enough without having to commute to a gym too.

At least I make up for it by training at the Lynfield YMCA with BarBender every Sunday morning now.

*GRUNT*

Cos they sure don't seem to like nice guys.........

Oh, I dunno... seems to work for me?

Not while living in Gayport. Not once you consider the amount of time and petrol I'd have to burn to get to anywhere like what you describe.

You are a Bad Woman.

That is a good point none the less. But I do agree - assholes tend to get noticed and I think there are more of them. I don't believe people are being raised with the same values as the previous generation. Look around - fifteen-year-olds becoming parents, dropping out of school, not respecting their families or even themselves. There are wonderful guys out there, I've met a number, but I've told three times that number to get the heck out of my life before they loose theirs. She wasn't calling all guys arrogant though, so that last sentence is unfair.

The more arseholes out there the better it makes me look

I've seen a lot of that just going through school. I'm glad I didn't fall into any of it, except not respecting myself since I was raised to be humble to the point where at didn't think anything good of myself and getting cheated on and getting severe acne tipped me over the edge.

I'd be much happier if I was more arrogant.

How arrogant can that Grunta guy be telling us he's from Auckland riding a gay colour schemed Suzuki but his profile says he has Buell and he's in Welly? Do we want Welly's name tarnished by such people coz we don't want no arrogance down here?

God I love a good late-night rant.

open one for Maori's,indian,Islander,ekimo...men...and you'll be sweet!!

She's a hard life being a white middle-class male in twenty-first-century New Zealand.

worse to be a single white male...[remember...because we don't have families,they take give our taxes to family's that probally have higher house hold income than us and give it to them as 'working for family's' because they are shit with money...for them to waste on another Hire purchase on a stupid jet ski or some shit!!]

We don't seem to be getting a cent. I want a jetski

[Subike]

being a single white male over the age of 50, with no assets, is probably the worst postion to be in.
let alone, that if you have no family, no children, a minimum income, high rents and you spare cash has been erroded away by price hikes across the board.
It makes no difference how nice a guy you, how caring you are, how polite, honest or even productive in communitie projects you are
You world is just crap.
No oppotunites to meet people, because your lucky to have food on the table
The only place you might get good converastion is your local tavern once a week
Forget about having the possibility of a relationship with a decent women, how would that be possiblie?

So MR Nice Guy, the one thats not arrogant becomes angry with life, lives with little hope that anything in the future is going to be worth anything at all. Even winning lotto is a far away dream

So the end is a bottle of wine once a week to drown your sorrows and a bed under the nearst bridge, wrapped up in newspapers to keep warm.

Get a job and A life. you might say

Really?

There is a minority of White Males in this country who are unable to do that.Why? Because their lives have been manipulated, wrung out, their dreams smashed, businesses shattered, assets cut up and squandered.
At 50+ some dont have that courage to carry on?
Any woman you now meet, will be met with arrogance, suspission, dis trust all sorts of negative emotions....because you have been burnt
Yes the population of arrogant men is increasing, especially in the mid aged White Male group.
No ethnic community , no personal power, no respect ( they are dirty old men)
They will never see this sort of post on a website as they never get to see a computor, let alone know how to use one

There are a lot of emotionally poor people in NZ that are getting trod on, abused and plain fucked up by the greed of others, including spiritually enlightend new age women.
No disrespect to you girls on this site, 99% of you are higher calliber, qaulity gals......but there is a world out there that treats White Males over 50 as shit

[Livvy]

Assuming, though, that you meant 'lose', I take it that your general experience has been that a quarter of the males you meet are wonderful, but that you regularly threaten the remaining 75% with death?

That's a criminal offense, you know.

Also, you should probably post a picture of yourself. You need to prove that you're hot before any guy reading this thread will take your comments seriously.

Oh no, I never threaten outright. Actually I hardly ever threaten! I just tell them that I think the world would be better off without them, and such a blow to their oversized egos has the general result of them crawling away into the sewers again. I'm too cute to be truly threatening.

And no, no photo, you'll just have to believe me that I'm attractive and take my comments seriously for lack of proof that I'm not unattractive. And won't that be fun? :P

Aw, bless. I think you'll find he may have been attempting to wind the girlies up. I bet he never dreamed he'd get a bite; you've probably made his week..!

I know, I took the risk of it! But if it's made his week it doesn't say that much for his IQ, don't ya think?

Yeah that's one extreme, but you can have self-esteem and not be considered arrogant. Don't become arrogant, because you'll be no better off for it I reckon. Smile, that's the best advice I've given to my guy friends who can't get chicks!

Unfortunately, the world, at some point, will treat everyone as crap... You've highlighted a majority, but it still stands that even simply by being white, there is - if not in NZ, but in places such as America - more trust for them than a darker skinned person.
But yeah, there are some women who are screwed up and who in turn screw men up, I know of enough, but it's not just guys who get affected, girls get mistreated too, and that's some of the point here I think? But yeah, guys are viewed in society as having to be big and tough and unemotional even in this "spiritually enlightened new age" and that isn't fair.
