1. Your voice doesn't need to be heard. In fact, realizing that you don’t HAVE to have an opinion on everything and voice opinions or ideas in meetings or social gatherings, is amazingly liberating. You can actually just shut up, and relieve yourself of all that effort and stress. Let Bob utter his embarrassingly dumb idea, let Shirley have a say. You can just let it be for the most part
@screwturn I feel like you are preaching to the choir. I am a young man and I agree with you and I think any other young man that ended up on Mastodon would probably also agree with you.

None of that, although helping people is always goodWith a winch, a jack, hydraulics, the weakest person easily lifts, bends, carries far more than any muscleman, and for longer. Having big muscles is not a thing a young man needs to or should regard as a step into some sort of ubermensch strata. If you desire to be all buff, by all means have at it, but what the body-maxing influencers are selling is bullcrap
Muscles are hotter in the minds of men than in the eyes of women
@screwturn let's just say it's not the eyes of women I'm interested in
i definitely don't think it necessary for a healthy life, and i certainly don't dream of becoming a member of some elite or think that working out will get me anything besides a pretty reflection and the ability to lift stuff, but it's still worth it to me
I've also heard that healthy exercise in one's youth makes moving around easier to continue to do in one's old age
