Rant: Why isn't it "cool" to work out? This might be purely anecdotal but it seems that it just isn't "cool" to go to the gym or work out. I could be described as a hipster (read: beard, tattoos, piercings, dumb music on an outdated format) and can occasionally be seen at a hip bar or concert. Every time I go out it's a sea of either full blown fats or skinny fats. I just don't understand it. You spend all this time on being "alternative" and "progressive" but can't even take care of yourself at a basic level.  I've honestly only ever dated "normal" people because of this.  It's to the point where I see tattoos or a few oddball piercings and instinctively just nope out in my head.  I'm sure you have a sense of what I'm talking about, a lot of the guys and gals that get posted here have the quirky, alternative look. Maybe it's tied into some sort of rejection of societal norms? Everyone else is in shape and looks 'normal' so I'm going to dress weird, pierce my nose, and get fat as fuck? But that doesn't really make sense because everyone else is fat as fuck too. I like sticking it to "the man" as much as the next person, but I also enjoy hiking, surfing, snowboarding and taking care of my body so I can continue to have fun outside. . I honestly very rarely strike up conversations with these people so I have no idea what's going on in their heads.  End rant, thanks for listening.
