This can't be real.
Jason Howard
I don't want friends.
Jack Bailey
I've made lots of friends at the gym, including the PTs. It's a small gym though and we're always the same people.

>'Hey buddy. How did you lift that weight? Would you like to gift me a mate?' and 'Hey, would you like to discuss these dumbbells over some yum beers?' I think your dad wants you to be initiated to gay sex
Grayson King
Go away. You piece of shit 15 year old shitposter.
Lincoln Gomez
You're a naive piece of fucking shit, kill yourself
Eli Howard
i've made friends at the gym 99% of the time it starts with asking to work in with someone. There'll be a time where neither of you are lifting and then you introduce yourself, ask how long they've been lifting/if they're from the area/whatever. Once you've had a conversation with them you can ask at the end of your session when they're next training, and you can train with them again and make friends
Logan Cook

Nolan Morgan

Jose Johnson

Isaiah Wood
I wish my dad cared about me, all I ever got was a couple of b-day cards and maybe a $20 on the good years.
Eli Morales

First off, do you just not have friends? Why is he so obsessed with this?
If your gym has classes, go to one or two and meet people. Or join a sports team or something.
Asher Green
you just grab them by the pussy
Anthony Gray
CHAD makes friends just by SAYING "what up, bro?" while your DAD is writing you CONVERSATION STARTERS like "Hey, would you like to discuss these dumbbells over some yum beers?'
Jaxon Hall
Dude, it is stupidly easy to make friends. You must have a mental disorder if you can't smile and make small talk.
Aaron Hill
I got one for you OP this one always works,
>want to discuss fitness over at my place?
Luis Clark
gym is not the perfect place to make friend... you should try playing in a team sport
