Hey people, i want to vent. I've been really sport depressed for two months now(ye..) and so i wanted to work out again and my parents talked about it with me and i was kinda excited to start but then my dad said 'you need to do sport to attract girls. ' and the idea of doing sport again after he said that turned me off. i'm a gay male and all my life people have told me to work out/do sport not to be healthy but in a toxic masculinity way (just to get girls basically) and idk what to do
Bro, your father radiates toxic masculinity. Ignore his words. If you love sports for the sake of doing it, continue. You know deep down why you are doing it and it is def not to attracted ladies so go work out hun. reply
