Nah, I actually have decent success with women. Especially when I'm not all in my head about things. I actually got hit on last week by one of those people that sit outside stores taking charity donations. After I donated, she thanked me and shook my hand and went "Wow you have a really nice handshake. You better be careful, or I'm not gonna want to let you go." I didn't try to get her number though, because I just started a relationship. Not trying to mess that up >_>

And I definitely don't want to be "popular" with people in general. I'm an introvert, so having to be a social butterfly is exhausting as hell. I'm fine with a small social circle lol

Dating several people in one year is one thing. And I'm not talking about dating.
The topic simply asked how many girlfriends we've had. The guy said 9 and you took issue with that number. That's what we're talking about. You just date until you discuss your relationship status and make things official. That's all it takes. Not sure why you're trying to make an argument that there has to be some deep emotional investment before they're considered your girlfriend.

I mean first it can't be that significative if you can only manage to maintain that relationship for less than a year, and second, how can you get over and become truly interested in someone else almost immediatly? Which is what having 1 "gf" a year would have to imply.
What? I've seen people have multiple girlfriends in a single year. Just because they don't become long term partners doesn't mean they don't count as a girlfriend.

The best thing you can do is just look at their website for a factual answer. Their published rules allow just about anything to be worn (heck, they even explicitly say bras as tops are okay), they have no restrictions on water bottles, they don't mention the lunk alarm anywhere I could find, and nowhere does it mention pizza or free food giveaways.

I'm not saying any of these things don't happen anywhere, but these are not (at least nowadays) official stances of the company.
The free food was absolutely endorsed by the company.

Planet Fitness Pizza Monday is a tradition that has been going strong since 1999 the year a club in Concord, NH found themselves without hot water for a few days. Despite the lack of hot showers, members continued to show up to the gym, ready to sweat. As a "thank you," the founders ordered a round of slices for everyone.

The gesture was so well received that it soon became a regular occurrence, and Pizza Monday was born. Soon, Planet Fitness locations all over North America were following suit and offering free pizza on the first Monday night of each month

https://www.planetfitness.com./user.php?db=.11.user=articles/real-story-behind-planet-fitness-pizza-monday

But I checked, and it looks like they stopped doing pizza due to Covid. Here's what an employee said:

We no longer provide Bagel and Pizza days. It was not a safe practice to gather a ton of people in a small gym with food during a time where COVID was rapid spreading. Since weve taken this practice away, weve replaced that reward with the chance to win a year of BCM (Black Card Member) and a monetary prize if you check in with our mobile app consistently

There is no rewards section. When you scan into your club like normal, some clubs have events where signing in gets you entries to win a BCM voucher.

You know what? 5 years ago, a lanky thin friend of mine was telling me about how he had never gone to the gym in his life because he was worried guys would make fun of him for being weak or not lifting a lot of weights.

I told him that literally no one cares and no one was gonna make fun of him, his unfounded fear was ridiculous. It took 5 years but he finally started going to the gym and is enjoying himself exercising and weight training with low weights just like I said he would.

I think it's places like planet fitness that try to make people afraid that going to a "manly gym" like gold's gym will make everyone stare at them and/or laugh at them and it's not even true. The most interaction of that nature I've ever gotten at the gym was those dudes that like to suggest different positions for exercises you're doing like lat pulldowns or different form. I don't care for it but they're never aggressive, just enthusiastic.
It think it's moreso just marketing. "We're a gym that's beginner friendly". But I agree, I've been a member of Planet Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness and LA Fitness and I've never experienced or witnessed anyone being aggressive or rude at the gym. I'm not sure where that reputation comes from.

I pay $10 a month for Planet Fitness and most of your post is not true.

- They don't serve pizza or bagels... ever
They absolutely do serve pizza and bagels, but it's once per month and only during a set time. If you're going outside of those hours, then you won't ever see the food. That said though, I never got why people get so upset about it. They bring in boxes of Dominos pizza and 1 slice is 200-250 calories depending on the toppings. Having 2 or 3 slices of that, once per month isn't going to ruin someone's weight loss goals. It's more of a "Hey good job on your progress. Here's a little treat."

- I have never heard the lunk alarm in the entire time I've been there
I haven't either and I had been going for a year before Covid hit. I actually had to look up a video on youtube to hear what it sounds like.

- Yes there are free weights and the weights go pretty high
This is where my "the gym isn't catered to bodybuilders" argument comes in. Yes, there are free weights, but they don't go as high as some guys would like. It's one of the main complaints I see online. But it's $10 a month. They aren't going to be able to cater to everyone at that price point. You want specialized, pay extra for Gold's Gym or something like that.

Planet Fitness is only a meme because of its commercials back in the day. People keep trying to stir up drama for no reason and either exaggerate any lone incidents on individual gyms or fabricate stories entirely.
I agree. Probably because it gets them views and likes.
