Gym dudes want you to lift heavyweights and we approve of your “humble bragging”. It’s also fantastic that you and your boyfriend are both into physical culture! Why not direct your hostility, which is great, against 24hr fitness, a giant corporation which feeds its clients pizza? Surely the for profit organizations and social forces that would cast you out for grunting would be a better target for your criticism than members of your own species who are understandably curious about how you got mud on your gym shoes.
