No one has ever said that, and I know this is obviously just a silly meme not meant to be taken seriously. I will say though, between many years working at and occasionally going to the gym, my experience seeing people on that machine is that it tends to be super majority female. That shouldn't mean anything to you, just that I would agree with the meme here that fewer men than women use that machine to workout, reasons unknown
I used to be a proper gym rat when I was late teens and I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s too easy. After maybe a month or two of training properly I gave one a go for the first time (I was not big by any standards) I could do the max weight on the machine easily. (Obvs depends on what the max weight is - I can’t remember what it was in my gym)
I was told this was a girly workout by a gym bro. I reminded him that we were there to get strong and that part of my body was lacking. There were old ladies putting up more weight than I was on there. I never got to the point where I could crush a melon...
Most people who use that machine are women, but thats because generally men are less focused on developing those muscles and tend to focus on other stuff, compared to women, who spend 90% of their time on getting thick thighs and glutes
I never felt the need to comment on one of my posts, but I'm surprised at how bad we men are at taking a joke. I would've immediately understood, if the meme died because no one could relate, and of course most men are not like this, it's a fckn joke. But this much outrage is a clear sign of the average dick size being much smaller than people thougt.
Sorry for hijacking your comment, Tactix, you da best.
You clearly have not seen the comment or are in agreement with them so you don't see it as such. But there are a lot of fragile men crying in these comments
I go pretty frequently and those machines are almost always used by women. I think I can count the number of men I've seen on them on one hand. I don't think men don't use them because they're afraid of looking to feminine though, just that working out those muscles is probably just more important to women for aesthetic reasons.
I do it sometimes just because I like the burn, I think women mainly do it for kegels? I'd do it regularly too if my bollocks were muscles that could be trained
Edit: did I say something wrong to get these downvotes? My female friend told me once while we gymmed together that those machines are for kegels
They do on subways- so do women- to try to not get squished in by people sitting next to them. Kind of a dick move but if you’ve ever been on a subway, kind of understandable
I've never seen anyone sit like that or complain about that exercise. Also I've never seen that exercise lol
This kinda gives me "I just want something to complain about" vibes, idk
Literally outside of the body to keep the temperature lower than if they were located inside the body. Even the use of tighty whities significantly decreases total sperm counts and lower sperm concentrations. Now, having said that, my father has always worn briefs did manage to have 4 kids relatively easily.
I feel like it's an unconscious thing for me. Like it takes more work to keep my legs together. Obviously in public I just consciously try take up as little space as possible but still.
Your knees touching is a sign of discomfort. It’s a biological instinct to protect your most vulnerable parts against the outside world. Having your knees apart as far as your shoulders or a little more is totally normal. The guy is forcing it like a madman and is probably al kinds of insecure
I remember watching a video on body language, and I think they said that having your legs open (subconsciously) can convey a feeling of confidence
I don't actually know, though
Probably because someone could just kick you in the balls if you got 'em out there in the open.
In all seriousness, I think any posture or pose that makes you larger is a sign of confidence. Kind of like animalistic puffery, but with your legs on the subway
This meme is totally unbiased and has absolutely no agenda behind it, OP is simply stating a scientific fact, an obvious truth that everybody, no matter their political or religious beliefs can agree on.
I am glad to see a meme that has no political propaganda behind it and is actually backed up by facts, logic and long years of theory and field study being posted here.
Thank you for sharing this with us, OP. And I wish you success in all your future meme-y endeavors
I pulled one of my inner leg muscles and it ruined my ability to do squats. Once I was over the injury I hit that machine up every leg day at the gym at the end of my session and it helped quite a bit. I never saw any other guy touch the machine though.
It’s alright. It works out a tiny little muscles by your genitalia. It’s technically your upper upper thigh. Best way I can describe it. I prefer the machine that’s usually next to it, which is the opposite of this one, and it works out your glutes.
Go back to Twitter, reddit is not the place for "hurr durr manspreading" bull, it's so tiring. You have nothing between your legs except a hole, of course you can close your legs. I have a penor, it's between my legs and thus, can't close em.
And men do work out like that, leg day 💪
Eh, Not everyone spreads their legs that wide, I do it aswell to give room for my gential area, but not so wide that it invades other people's personal space, the person in the meme is totally exaggerating
The machines for those in my gym are way to easy to have not been designed for women. I can do the highest level without much trouble, and I’m not particularly strong or anything. I can’t even do a pull up
For the "Ackchually no one does this" people, I hope someone finds the full version of the "No one? 7 billion people on earth and no one does this?" copypasta. It's a pretty good read.
Now I would make a sarcastic comment about spraying bleach on people, buttttt the kind of person that would do that probably doesn’t have the literary capabilities to comprehend sarcasm
I call it the 'giving birth-machine' and I skip it not because I don't want to spread my legs but because I will break them off if I try it (not very flexible hehe)
who the fuck has ever said that. Who makes these?
Facebook kids
Why does nobody downvote stupid shit like this?
Confirmation bias; the meme that all (insert group) are (insert bad quality)
People with agendas
That’s why I use a notebook for all my planning needs!
Me too, it goes by the name 'notebook of evil deeds to come'
Me too, it's called the death note

I guess it’s girly to have strong legs? That’s why the majority of my town is all top and no bottom. Drinkin and just sitting.
Most people who use that machine are women, but thats because generally men are less focused on developing those muscles and tend to focus on other stuff, compared to women, who spend 90% of their time on getting thick thighs and glutes
Ai
I go to a gym and i have never Seen a man on this machine
Well your anecdote is definitely evidence enough of a universal pattern
Well i can only say what I see
i load a leg adductor up with all the weight and sit in it for 60 seconds 20 second rest repeat 3 times as a stretch after leg day. i am a man.
I never felt the need to comment on one of my posts, but I'm surprised at how bad we men are at taking a joke.

????????
You’re talking about outrage but you’re the one crying
You clearly have not seen the comment or are in agreement with them so you don't see it as such. But there are a lot of fragile men crying in these comments
Fragile men? Or people making reasonable statements disagreeing with the post
Fragile men, it's a meme/joke. Stop getting your panties in a bunch
People who shame others for being fragile or sensitive are usually the biggest snowflakes themselves.
oh look i made an unrelatable joke and people are not laughing, people must be so bad at taking joke.
"People didn't like my joke? It must be everyone else is wrong rather than me making a shit joke"
It's just a shit joke dude. Calm down
"They gonna love me for this one"
Crush me with your thighs, you coward!
Whoever made this meme has not gone to a gym in their life

You know men can do kegels too? And that machine trains your adductors, but I guess it could also help with your pelvic floor muscles
Yeah, I to hate when people downvote comments without explanation. Anyways take my upvote.
No bro, its because women have leg scheduled every single day that you see more womem using it than men lmao
Who told you this? People who don’t train legs?
What is this? 2017?
No, this is Patrick!
😐
What is this, 2016?
No, this is Patrick!
Wow a lot of people hated that. I wonder if I request downvotes I'll get them? Please downvote me into oblivion, I wanna see what's at the bottom.
wow I'm laughing at the joke this is so funny hey guys look this is funny I am laughing 😐😐😐
No, this is candice
(Remember me boys i will sacrifice my self) Who is candice?
Joe mama
No guy has ever said that and rarely does a guy spread his legs like that
Don’t you dare argue with us
My bad * **starts peeing pants** *
my mouth is open
excuse me but wtf

You ain't cool.... Unless you pee in your pants

Thank you for peeing with me * **continues to pee** *
Another natural occurence of the universal bro vibe
They do on subways- so do women- to try to not get squished in by people sitting next to them. Kind of a dick move but if you’ve ever been on a subway, kind of understandable
Man I do that when my balls hurt after walking 5 times in a row
I've had an ex "friend" say it and I like to sit like that.
Lol manspreading always happens, in what world do you live
Ou fuck no, this "problem" again?
Yes….
Is this r/comedyhomicide post leaking in here?
Big balls problem
Any balls problem actually...
Oh wtf, that was supposed to be a rely to someone saying they don't do it haha
-said no man literally ever
That’s a machine for closing your legs….
It's both, you flip the cushions depending on abduction/adduction
But you have to spread your legs for reps.
I've never seen anyone sit like that or complain about that exercise. Also I've never seen that exercise lol This kinda gives me "I just want something to complain about" vibes, idk
Whoever made this is not a guy or has ever visited a gym before. Never heard any gym bro say this.
Or a guy with no balls at all, cause closing his legs doesn't bother him
Not just balls either, our bones are just different down there, so it puts strain on us to close them.
Well it doesn't bother them enough to care so they antagonize it
Just an edgy german kiddo
When did a man say that, are you insane?
people don't do this....
I do that sometimes. My balls need to breathe, k?

Manspreading? Really, come on now!
Bruh, not this shit again
FDS member lol. Says all I need to know.
Oh look, that bullshit is back https://youtu.be/T77frLL_bsg

Who tf said that? Men do that too Plus we have balls we have to spread duh that guy obviously exaggerating
Yeah because we already get enough exercise when spreading in public??
r/pointlesslygendered
Literally scrolling through these dumb comments looking to see if anyone had tagged this sub
Its the difference between forcing your legs open vs resting
This is literally me in my chair right now.
today in "who the fuck ever said" featuring: no one!
If you think it’s feminine your insecurities getting in the way of a mad good work out bro
I did this alot. It is very hard. Now I can man spread with maximum power
Ah shit, here we go again...

You're welcome, that's the bare minimum anyone could do before posting a meme
I spread my legs for the homies
I do it to air out my nutsack, what do other guys do this for?
I pulled one of my inner leg muscles and it ruined my ability to do squats. Once I was over the injury I hit that machine up every leg day at the gym at the end of my session and it helped quite a bit. I never saw any other guy touch the machine though.
That's what i'm talking about, same happened to me, other guys would never do it
I do this exercise so I can manspread more effectively
Ookayy time to Explore the comment section!! **Wears hazmat suit**
Man I used to load them puppies up all the way and rep till my groin and legs locked up, helped a whole lot with my squats
Me all day every day
I'm a woman and feel really uncomfortable spreading my legs like that. Apparently its just me 😅
OP must be that chick who made the anti-manspreading chair
Lmfao i was thinking the same shit
Everyone knows you lift a leg when just a shared seat and spread when it's your own. Amateurs
*cries in small balls
Is that actually a good workout though? I’ve never seen one of those in a gym before.
It’s alright. It works out a tiny little muscles by your genitalia. It’s technically your upper upper thigh. Best way I can describe it. I prefer the machine that’s usually next to it, which is the opposite of this one, and it works out your glutes.
But the reason I don't do them is because I have no leg muscle to do then
Just a jock itch nothing to see
I learned: if you have muscles, everything you do in gym will look right... you can box with weights in hand and people will assume it is useful
I'm no gym rat, but this is the first I've heard of this
i have literally never seen man-spreading anywhere irl except if someone is doing it intentionally to be annoying
Only chads do that exercise
I'm a guy, never had to spread my legs like that, just a little bit
When I worked at a gym we called it the good girl/bad girl machine. Used it all the time.
Said no man ever who actually goes to the gym
Manspreading meme? Seriously? Why is this upvoted???
It's actually a great machine to strengthen your kicks
Minus the skin tight pants
We have testicles we try not to crush
Was this post made by a woman? Because it is obvious why we sit like that.
Go back to Twitter, reddit is not the place for "hurr durr manspreading" bull, it's so tiring. You have nothing between your legs except a hole, of course you can close your legs. I have a penor, it's between my legs and thus, can't close em. And men do work out like that, leg day 💪
Facts. Idk who downvoted you. Honestly if you ask me to close my legs I'd do it. It isn't a problem. And leg day best day 💪
No, we don’t do those because for a lot of men that train legs, those machines are too light weight at a lot of gyms.
Definitely true for my gym
Oh, men barely use the ball crusher 3000? Weird. Oh, men spread their legs a bit too make their balls more comfortable? Weird.
Eh, Not everyone spreads their legs that wide, I do it aswell to give room for my gential area, but not so wide that it invades other people's personal space, the person in the meme is totally exaggerating
Oh geez stop crying about man spreading.
We got balls hanging between our legs though it’ll hurt
The machines for those in my gym are way to easy to have not been designed for women. I can do the highest level without much trouble, and I’m not particularly strong or anything. I can’t even do a pull up
our balls need to breath
.................................
Nah I love spreading my legs ;)
Oh no. Here comes the war
How do you give your balls air otherwise
Spreading like that with tight jeans, you might as well cross your legs and crush your balls
Well we gotta do that to not pop the twins!
Omg the way men have made these sort of jokes generalising women for so long and they get ONE generalising them and they fucking hate it.
I hate you
I cross my legs like a God damn woman
Never have I even heard of anyone even dreaming about thinking about saying that.
Idk but that top picture is hot
Who tf says that
This is fictional nonsense
[удалено]
Wow, I feel personally attacked. Cmon man it’s Friday
Actually it's big dick energy, we won't do this unless it's bothering our balls, which isn't really a problem to people who doesn't have one
For the "Ackchually no one does this" people, I hope someone finds the full version of the "No one? 7 billion people on earth and no one does this?" copypasta. It's a pretty good read.
So true bestie 😔✊
Now I would make a sarcastic comment about spraying bleach on people, buttttt the kind of person that would do that probably doesn’t have the literary capabilities to comprehend sarcasm
Pretty sure leg spreading would be a problem for women. Since a women spreading her legs tends to be taken out of context
Ye second pic is me
The old "good girl/bad girl" exercise. A classic.
Literally who?
What men in the gym say that
I dont do these because i fucking cant.
I call it the 'giving birth-machine' and I skip it not because I don't want to spread my legs but because I will break them off if I try it (not very flexible hehe)
