I finally got my answer to why the USA has become weak in all aspects....ughhhhhhhhh!!!!

I have often wondered how the men in United States of America have become soft, weak, pathetic, sensitive, undisciplined, easily offended and out of shape to do anything. Well, I finally got my answer while doing a workout on the Peloton this past Sunday.
I joined a "Live" class with an instructor I have never used before, that was mistake . I figured I would stay in the class since I already completed a 10 minute warm up prior to the starting the live class. The instructor was Jen Shermen, an older women. Gritty. Uses lots of profanity in her rides but not to motivate you.
As the workout was getting started the instructor welcomed everyone to her Men's choice ride. I said to myself, "Choice of What?????". The ride I soon found out was that the men who normally take her classes got to pick the music to the workout. The music choices were my first look into how pathetic men have become. If you can call the men I observed in the room "men". Biologically I guess they were men, but by the looks of them and their music picks, I would beg to differ. See the list below for the music picks.....

Summer, Highland Falls----Billy Joel
Dont Change -----INXS
Brown Eyed Girl----Van Morrison
Thunder Road----Bruce Springsteen
Taking Care of Business---Bachman/Turner Overdrive
Jack & Diane----John Mellencamp
The Boys are Back in Town---- Thin Lizzy
Walk----Foo Fighters
Go Your Own Way----Fleetwood Mac
Heroes----David Bowie
Memories-----Maroon 5
Free Fallin----Tom Petty

As I was doing the workout and the camera panned around, I noticed all the men with the exception of one, looked like Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. LOL! They were all singing, bopping along, having a good time, smiling, barely sweating. And they were all wearing a tee shirt that said "Jenns Men". LMFAO!!!! I was like WTF is going on . This is supposed to be a workout not a dance party. The worst part was the smiles and stupid grins on their faces when they should have been pushing on the intervals and hills. The female instructor had more balls then any of the "men" in this class. Seeing all of these " men" in the class made me mad and then sad. I said to myself, "Dang! No wonder the USA has become what it has become. Soft, weak, pathetic. The men are no longer "Men". When did this happen????"
Before all of you start chiding me about my rant and start telling me that at least they were "trying to workout" or "trying to be fit". I get it. They at least were doing something. But they were not working out. I don't know what they were doing. What I do know is that they are never going to change the physical look they have or get their cardiovascular system in better condition. I base this on the way they all were "working out" in the class and how they looked physically.
Anyway, I am still trying to wrap my head around what I witnessed. And I can't believe this is my first post. I thought my first post would be something more intriguing and not a rant about how men in America are no longer men. I am wondering what we can do as a society and personally to remedy this problem I see everyday in the USA.
Thank you for reading my first post on ATS and any and all comments are welcome.

I'll get my exercise from shoveling snow, working in the garden, and cutting and splitting firewood and stacking it up onto the porch. The music is wind rushing through the trees and birds tweeting with an occasional squirrel fight in the woods.

I was around in the seventies with Rock and Roll dominating things...then came that disco....yuck...line dancing kind of sucked too.

You ride a Peloton? I'm not sure what you expected, but the instructor's playlist seems to fit my impression of male Peloton riders.

I’m eager to hear their follow up thread on the downfall of masculinity based on the playlists at OP’s yoga and Pilates class.

We are finally answering societies biggest questions.

Stay tuned and stay yoked men.

I wonder if his knitting class plays death metal.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Unfortunately after Jimmy impaled his eyeball those beta cucks decided nothing that would promote head banging while knitting.

Again, we’re watching the downfall of society in real time.

After a long, grueling workout on my $3,000 Chinese-made Peloton bike there's nothing I like more than a refreshing and crisp Bud Woke. It tastes even better when you shotgun it to Anthrax.

Stop being a sissy and do CrossFit.

I do find it alarming that we’d find soy boys in the luxury home workout circuit.

I was expecting more lumberjacks and oil rig guys since they don’t have access to a local gym.

I'm sorry, I won't be able to reply, I'm currently getting a Wii workout in while listening to Baby Shark on repeat.

This is what I am talking about!!! Most boys these days don't shovel snow. They have a snow blower or mommy and daddy pay for a snow removal service. And yeah, disco sucks. LOL!a reply to: rickymouse

Real men ride bikes that actually go somewhere.



Welcome to ATS!

Oh, and who works out anymore?

Last time I went into a gym it was because that was the name of the bar.

Back in my day, and I’m Generation X so…that was like yesterday…we men got looked down on if we opted for a Smitg machine in lieu of free weights. And hey, don’t knock Mellancamp or Fleetwood. Nothing I’d ever work out to…for that I like Disturbed, Deftones, Metallica, Mindless Self Indulgence, Alice in Chains, Avenged, Ron D Core, Omar Santana, even Limp Bizkit and Korn work. But my God, Taking Care of Business, Brown Eyed Girl? Who on earth can handle ever hearing those songs again at all!?!? Surprised it wasn’t Katie Parry, Lady Ga Ga, and…I don’t know any other stupid pop…oh…um, Pink gag.

Make sure you’re in an air conditioned environment with access to a PH and electrolyte enhanced designer water.

Wii workout gave my cousin (who’s a green beret) heat exhaustion. He was listening to Alanis Morissette though, so that might have been why.

Haha!!! Touche !! In my defense, it was rainy, windy and cold here in Chicago. If it was not raining I would have been outside on my road bike. But with the way people drive around here, you are on a death wish riding on a rainy day. a reply to: tamusan

With the exception of Maroon 5, I am good with all those songs. Not for a workout, though.

Granted, my workout music is a mixed bag....Rancid, Cock Sparer, Hayes Carll, Madball, City Saints, Harrington Saints, Get Dead, Codefendants, Black Uhuru, The Addicts, etc.

I have been in the entertainment industry since my teens, you can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. If you listen to the what everybody listens to and that's it....you are a person who can't think for themselves.

And if you don't listen to music, well....don't even look at me.
