I guess you just have a genetic disposition for having a wet ass, or as you put it "moist" one...

Didn't really sweat before I put on some muscle mass, and it's common to run hotter the bigger you get. Regardless of its muscle or obesity.

Ass sweat is an illusion created by the enemy. Continue not wiping down equipment after you use it.

Interesting thread going on over at A&N.
Gym thots killing the social vibe of gyms is truly a tragedy.

This is why I say to go to the old, industrial gyms. Better equipment, heavier weights, better atmosphere, and no Zoomers only there for TikTok.

I wouldnt worry too much about it, seems like its just their comments sections that really give a shit about it. Any reasonable person would say less than half of those "gym creep" tiktoks are actual gym creeps. Also major content creators like coach greg and derek moreplatesmoredates have called them out.
That's not to say legitimate gym creeps don't exist at all.
Sadly this isnt an ideal solution for me. There are none near me, and so I just go to a local Anytime Fitness. That's not to say it's bad. Not a whole lot of clock app zoomers (mild powerlevel: am Gen Z. Call me a hypocrite.), weights are decent for my strength level and after a year of machines only I'm happy with the equipment they have.

I know of a pretty good powerlifting gym, but it's half-way across town. It's not that I don't want to go there, but it's such a pain having to drive back and forth when I have a pretty decent gym right across my apartment building.
So far I've caught 2-3 fuckbois recording themselves doing triceps pushdowns and shit, and I noticed one gym bunny posing in front of the mirror with her phone out - obviously for the gram.
I don't take my phone to the gym, so my rest pause inbetween sets is just me staring into nothing, catching my breath.
EDIT: Having said this, it'd be nice to have a gym partner. Been training alone ever since I started taking training more seriously and it'd be nice to have someone to chat with, share tips and get a spot when you need it. I've learned to train without a spotter but it'd be useful to have a spotter every once in a while.

The things I liked about the Zoomer gym I tried out for a month was a sick belt squat machine that was just a treat to use, the sauna, and a good variety of Crossfit stuff I could play with. However, the hack squat and preacher curl bench were dogshit, the leg press was one of those shitty new ones that you need to put a million plates on before it becomes heavy enough to do anything, so I prefer the equipment at the oldschool gym.
I understand some degree of recording yourself, I rarely do it to do things like tracking progress, showing someone online what I do for certain exercises, or just checking my form on something I'm not sure about yet, but man the people who can't do shit without recording are total melons.

I agree, but at the same time, that's what gym buddies are for - if he's knowledgeable enough, he can give you corrective advice right away. It's another reason why I'd like to have a gym partner, but alas... no such thing yet. I'm sure that the powerlifting gym across town is perfect for these things but I'll never know if I keep training in Booty & Zoomer Gym.

Last time I did it for form was when I was having trouble feeling my back right on a different type of one armed row, and when I checked the footage it turned out I had a habit of shrugging my shoulder towards my head a bit when I got to my working weight, and when I had that in mind my upper back felt it perfectly.

Might piss some people off with this take but I dont mind people taking photos/videos in the gym. I record myself for technique, in fact I have a private instagram account just full of videos of me lifting just so I can store that shit on the cloud. I guess people checking their progress (weight loss/muscle growth) is another valid case too.
And also, if you've built an impressive physique, you have a right to take pride in it.
The problem starts when you start trying to be an influencer. Or when you go on your "BAKI YEAGER EREN THE IMMORTAL ZODD THE GRAPPLER VILLIAN TRAINING ARC"
I'm aware I fucked up the names of the characters. That was intentional.
I take mine to the gym. I ain't listening to Ed Sheeran while deadlifting!
And as for training buddies, I wouldve wanted one. Maybe even a new years resolutioner who needed help. Then again my mean face and general autism probably scare them away.

My favorite thing to do with a gymbro is adding weight for an isohold at the end of a set, force reps, or dropsets and acending sets where it's harder to quickly change weight.
It's probably funny to see some Asian hanging off of a hack squat while some White retard is in agony and just holding it halfway down, but trust me bro it works.

Fair enough - I am nobody's gym partner perhaps because I look too focused or not very approachable. I wouldn't mind sharing tips to a younger dude.
I have the right solution for that - cheapo MP3 players.
These little suckers are still around, and check it out - it even comes with a MicroSD card slot, so you can put in as many GBs of music as you want! I'll be pulling the trigger on one of these, I too am tired of listening to Ed Sheeran and Rando Pop Song Turned Into Electronic Music Remix #45342211!
My kinda music for training.

Music weighing full. Bit brutal for my tastes, I prefer it down just a notch.
This was my #10 track on spotify last year, hope you like it.

I’ve gone to the gay location of my local chain just to avoid these trifling hoes hogging equipment with their iPhone taking selfies. The club music is pretty sweet anyways. They wait until the locker room to photo their wang.
Anyhoo
I went ahead and bought ghost pump, that shit is great. I beat my deadlift record after my first dose. The caffeine pre workout “legend” is too strong so I add sticks of caffeine crystal light to it for a lesser dose of stim. Shit is stronger than those tachycardia mango yuzu commodo cortis splash Panera drinks.

Luckily it stays trapped inside of my boxer brief, but that's why it feels fucking disgusting.
Oh ye, I got this problem too. It's called slide leg press. Almost get too tired just stacking on all the plates just to feel something.
Do you imply you don't browse the farms between sets?
