    I would say the gym is absolutely not where people go to make friends, but apparently the younger generation does use it for that. That kind of blows my mind, but it’s certainly healthier than going to a bar to meet people.

        Nothing “wrong”, just less healthy than the gym. Unless you only drink water at the bar and spend your gym visit drinking high-calorie shit rather than working out, the physical exercise at the latter is generally better for your health.

        (Depending on your health and the extent of the workout, obviously. Don’t overdo it or ignore injuries.)

          Oh yeah, that’s definitely true. From that phrasing it seemed like OP had issues specifically with people in the bar trying to meet others.

          It just came across weird to me, because from my experience folks at bars are wayyyyy more open to meeting new people than in the gym.
