Fitness influencer asks “what’s your reason for exercising?” & gays share their hilariously honest answers
is gay culture. Even more so than our hetero comrades, the gym is a nexus for our lives—it’s where we socialize, it’s where we flirt, it’s where we take shirtless selfies to post to our Close Friends…But, if we’re being honest with ourselves, what is it that compels us to actually, you know, exercise?That’s the question engineer and fitness influencer Chris Meyer asked this week on Twitter X with a post that’s gone viral to the tune of over 1.6 million views.What’s your reason for exercising?For me, it’s the way a good workout helps to clear my mind and reduce stress.
pic.twitter.com/8kDQpYt6AAAs Meyer would have us believe, he’s simply doing it for his mental health—”to clear my mind and reduce stress”—and we guess that six-pack he’s sporting is just a byproduct of self-care.Look, the dude’s ripped!
And we’re certainly not complaining about him showing off the bod. But this could’ve been a classic case of “just post your thirst trap and go.” Instead, the photo coupled with such an earnest question-and-answer prompt has inspired Gay Twitter™ to chime in with the most hilariously honest responses.So, do you want to know the real reasons so many gays choose to stay fit?
We’ll just take a look at the quote-tweets on Meyer’s post…No beating around the bush here—most just want to look hot as hell.
