According to a fatty, going to the gym means I'm trying to lose weight. This happened a few weeks ago right after work: Fatty: So what's the plan for tonight? Me: Heading to the gym, then going home and enjoying some beer. Fatty: The gym? But you're skinny! You don't need to lose weight! Me: I go to the gym to lift, not for cardio. Fatty: What's cardio? Me: Something you obviously don't do. ...and, with that, I walked away.  I didn't have the patience to explain to fatty that I go 'cause I want to keep getting stronger.
