Sydney - fitness craziness, how to cope ?

[Liam2066]

Hey everyone !

I have been living in Sydney for a while now and I’ve never felt that conscious about my body than in any other cities. For those who have never been, it feels like opening Instagram IRL.
I’d say a big majority of gays here are gym fit.

It’s been a struggle tbh, cause I’m not one of those, just a basic “sport fit” type of guy.
And Sydney is … Sydney. People who lives here know what I’m talking about lol.

Obviously, the game of comparison is hard not to play. Specially when I go to the gym, trying hard.
If you don’t hit that kind of fitness. you kinda disappear and no one really would pay attention to you. Fit for fit vibe.

How do you cope ? Just me having that feeling ?

Ta!

Hey

it's all a question if you are interested in superficial guys that have no brains and only muscles or something more lasting and not focused only on body shape

If you want to be part of the Sydney gym scene, then you have to expect superficiality. As for myself, I socialise in the nudist world (plenty of opportunities in and around Sydney) and avoid all of that nonsense. I get my exercise from being in the outdoors, including nude bushwalking.
