Most sanctimoniously self-satisfied male physical exercise hobbyists

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Inspired by the lifting, walking and running threads, I thought I'd ask GOT which exercise hobbyists amongst the male population are the most smugly annoying? The ones who act like they're better than everyone and anything, including sliced bread.

Fwiw, mine is martial artist fellas. Complete bores about how discipline has changed their life and completely smug in the knowledge they'll kick you in.

Oh, why men? Well because obviously we'll be tits about stuff, duh.

Yours?

Edit: 3 choices possible. Please explain top 3.

Cyclists. Think they have some divine right to be on the road. Think it’s acceptable to come into the office stinking in their Lycra skin suits. Think I want to be friends on Strava so I could give them a thumbs up on their big journey no one asked them to do.

Open water swimmers, ffs.

Well done on swallowing sewage unknowingly in all probability.

Done

I don’t really ever bump into any others where I live. It’s football, gym or cycling basically. I don’t think I’d get on with MMA people and rugby lads are all turbo closeted.

Gym bros getting a pasting. Got to be jealously. DO YOU EVEN LIFT????

 

[KaiserEFC]

Ooh rugby blokes are very strange, the gym is my entire personality and all I talk about guys are awful but road cyclists are the most sanctimonious knobheads out there, see Jeremy Vine for more

Cyclists,especialy when they go out mob handed.takes ages to overtake them, then when you do you get to a traffic light or roundabout and they slither passed you and it all starts again.if they want fresh air and exercise and to show off all there cycleing attire they should set up an exercise bike in there front garden and peddle away.

Missed one: Postmen - wandering about suburbia in the depths of an arctic winter wearing shorts. Absolute dangers!

 

[IrishBlue2022]

Icebathers, basically gloat about not doing exercise and think it makes them healthy.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Kayaking...

Can I vote road cyclists 3 times?

I mean the rest can be bores, but they stay in the background and don't affect me. But cyclists drive around holding up thousands of other road users for their hobby. They pretend it's exercise while not realising the irony that they wear lycra and ride expensive lightweight bikes to make their exercise easier. Their real hobby is to provoke other road users then upload go pro videos of them when they do something wrong - but they never upload videos of them going through red lights, or getting back to the front of the long queue of cars that have waited patiently to overtake them, at lights.

Absolute dishwipes.

Gym bros are sound apart from Cross Fitters who are the Jehovahs of the fitness world, always on the recruit the bad smoothie molesters.

Is there space for Anti Vaxxers? I feel this is the hideous subgroup hobbyists you seek.
