But... I am clearly out of shape. Not the worst shape, mind you, but obviously not an athlete. Climbing for me, which I do enjoy, but haven't really done since covid.
I mostly bike ride for exercise, but don't think I'm an in shape looking cyclist or anything. It's an bike, and while I do usually vary between weakest assist and sometimes none, I got nothing on even semiserious cyclists.
I'm not athletic. Not obese either but it's just not the word to describe my appearance. So it would be a fair assessment and if I don't sense any bad faith then to me it's actually an interesting question to be asked. Some people are just a little tone deaf.
Am man. Am not athletic (was never great at anything and a number of places in my body are now metal). Am not bothered at all by the question. My answer would probably be endurance running, though I did enjoy shot and disc.
I used to play open gym volleyball. The same guy would come every week and had been going for years. He was the most dogshit volleyball player I ever met. He played a lot and was extremely unathletic.
I mean, so he showed up and tried every day? Or did he do regular drills, research on how to improve and implement those suggestions, and do strength and conditioning on the side to improve overall athleticism?
Have you ever seen the movie Million Dollar Baby? There’s a guy who goes to the boxing gym that they describe as “100% heart, 0% talent.” That character epitomized the guy I’m talking about.
i don't see this working unless you ask a specifically athletic man, or one of those people who can't shut the fuck up about the gym... but for non athletic guys, like... we know. the answer is probably "none, which is the reason I'm not athletic to begin with"
Honestly why would it call a ragebait, it's a perfectly fine question because everyone have their limit and there's always some extreme sport not for everyone.
Well we are shitting on people who are so simple that a ball moving from one end of a field to another is enough for them to build a personality around.
Hey buddy I may be bitter and fat, but it's not because I don't like sportsball. It's because whiskey and fried food taste amazing and I work in customer service.
If I didn't appreciate my brain and were more athletic and coordinated, I think I'd like to fight (more boxing than MMA). I'm slightly sadomasochistic and every time I've fought I've kind of enjoyed it but I've also felt guilty (and rightfully so, because my aggression came from fear and anger I should've controlled, and God will judge me for it), but if it's for the sake of entertainment and both parties are in agreement it's a different thing entirely! I'd also like to play the piano or guitar, and I've tried learning, but I'm too clumsy for them. 🙃
Back in school, we would ask others if they were going to the gym. Then someone seemed to have their ego lifted by the question, we would say that we asked because it does, indeed, doesn't look like so.
Honestly I loved playing lacrosse in high school. I wasn’t amazing at it, but I had a lot of fun. I ended up tearing my ACL in varsity so I stopped, but I don’t regret playing. I would play again today, but I’m too old now. Too many physical things that could go wrong, I’m over that hill, and that’s ok.
I also don’t get mad very often, so I don’t feel ragebaited at all lol, weird how people think that no man can just answer a question honestly without turning into a ball of anger.
I once knew one unathletic person who liked soccer and claimed that he was going to be the second Christiano Ronaldo, but one of his friends also claimed to be the second Christiano Ronaldo. Their drama completely wrecked their soccer team, and unable to find people to play with, that guy just switched to playing Fifa on his Xbox.
All the people in this scenario were young adults, lmao
Is it ragebaiting if you just call somebody "unathletic"? Or is that just insulting somebody? 😂
Yeah, this is just being a catty bitch, really.
"What kind of clothes would you wear if you were, like, actually pretty?"
If you could be as pretty as on any of your pictures, which one would you pic?
Depends.
If they’re actually athletic, it’s ragebaiting. If they’re clearly out of shape, it’s insulting.

"How to ragebait insecure [greek aphabet letter] man"
I'd probably do parkour again, conquer the urban jungle.
You are a real ξ male

Ignore the engagement-bait brainrot-voice.
No thanks, but thanks for the warning to not watch.
The youtube link alone was enough for that.

I think the joke is that by asking that face to face, you are telling them that they are so fat / out of shape that they can't do sports
But I am fat and out of shape.
You can like following something but not participating in it.
I used to play open gym volleyball. The same guy would come every week and had been going for years. He was the most dogshit volleyball player I ever met. He played a lot and was extremely unathletic.
You also have to try to improve
He definitely tried. Some people just peak at an ant hill, others Mount Everest.
I mean, so he showed up and tried every day? Or did he do regular drills, research on how to improve and implement those suggestions, and do strength and conditioning on the side to improve overall athleticism?

Have you never seen the typical NFL, NBA, or MLB fan?
Playing sports.
It said following before. Comment OP edited it (mentioned in their other comment)
Why is the dude on the left almost always the example?
I mean, if I were athletic I'd probably already be playing a sport. I think these two things in my case are intrinsically linked.

Surfing (all kinds), as part of the "Overweight shitty long boarding Crew sponsored by Costco"
We all just have the same crappy board from costco and when they get break we get new one.
Look up Jimbo Pellegrine
What happens if they answer esports
Freerunning 😎
Honestly why would it call a ragebait, it's a perfectly fine question because everyone have their limit and there's always some extreme sport not for everyone.
None. Sportsball is dumb.
"Sportsball is dumb" 🤓☝️
Don't confuse sportsball and the industry that grew around sportsball.
Always one 🤣
They just can't help themselves. Have to let everyone know how bitter and fat they are.
But sportsball is dumb
Football/soccer and rugby are great, I love them.
So is anime, most hobbies, and most entertainment. I'm not shitting on them for watching cartoons for 14 year old boys.
Well we are shitting on people who are so simple that a ball moving from one end of a field to another is enough for them to build a personality around.
Holy shit you're actually the worst
They don't even enjoy watching millionaires play a ball game. Losers
Hey buddy I may be bitter and fat, but it's not because I don't like sportsball. It's because whiskey and fried food taste amazing and I work in customer service.
I was ranked in the top 15 butterflyers in the US between 1998 and 2000. I surf now.
None. Sports are dumb.
I like doing sports. Watching sports is the worst thing i can imagine.
Yep, I enjoy being involved in sports but watching them is a waste of time.
The only exception to this is the team I coach, for kids hockey....great to see the development of the players from know nothing to team play.
Depends on the sport.
No they’re not.
Still only E-Sports.
Fishing because I seem to catch all the bottom feeders.
If I didn't appreciate my brain and were more athletic and coordinated, I think I'd like to fight (more boxing than MMA). I'm slightly sadomasochistic and every time I've fought I've kind of enjoyed it but I've also felt guilty (and rightfully so, because my aggression came from fear and anger I should've controlled, and God will judge me for it), but if it's for the sake of entertainment and both parties are in agreement it's a different thing entirely!

Username checks out.
I would've asked about yours... but it's none of my business! 😅 /dadjoke
Combatives are fun as hell, and the athleticism and coordination improves with training, but yeah - all carry at least some of risk of brain injury.
Didn't 100% do it for me, but fencing might scratch that itch a litte bit. Risk is still there but much lower than hand-to-hand combat sports.
👀
I might have to look into that, although nowadays I take care of my restlessness and scratch my masochistic itchiness by going on long runs, haha.
Nah dude I know I'm not athletic. And the sport is curling. It looks fun.
Back in school, we would ask others if they were going to the gym. Then someone seemed to have their ego lifted by the question, we would say that we asked because it does, indeed, doesn't look like so.
Hockey. I mean, I would still play it while being an out of shape piece of crap, too, but I'd probably be better if I was athleticly built.
Cross country running probably. Exploring new areas on different continents just for fun.
Baseball. But I can't catch or throw or hit, so I coach Little League
I can't see good so I sit in the stands and argue with the umps as a pastime
Ice Hockey. It looks cool to play.
I just like þe fighting part.
Honestly I loved playing lacrosse in high school. I wasn’t amazing at it, but I had a lot of fun. I ended up tearing my ACL in varsity so I stopped, but I don’t regret playing.

Tennis, but in the winter.
Nothing like the slop of a rain drenched tennis ball on pavement
I got a little annoyed even knowing that it was not directed me and was going to be a joke
Jamming and smoking the reefer.
Golf. No need to be athletic. Checkmate!
easy hammer throwing
I once knew one unathletic person who liked soccer and claimed that he was going to be the second Christiano Ronaldo, but one of his friends also claimed to be the second Christiano Ronaldo. Their drama completely wrecked their soccer team, and unable to find people to play with, that guy just switched to playing Fifa on his Xbox. All the people in this scenario were young adults, lmao
Parkour, free running, ninja warrior type stuff. I would probably injury myself really quickly though.
Lindy Hop?
Only right answer
Since we're discussing fantasies, ōllamalīztli.
Chess - then I'd look athletic while doing it.
Edit: Bunjee jumping.
I'm not happy with what this comment originally was. So I have changed it.
Ah, bungee jumping
"Well, I used to run cross-country and long-distance track. No need for that face, close your mouth, or you'll start catching flies."
Golf. For the irony.
Snooker
