Is it ragebaiting if you just call somebody "unathletic"? Or is that just insulting somebody? πŸ˜‚

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is just being a catty bitch, really.

"What kind of clothes would you wear if you were, like, actually pretty?"

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

Ignore the engagement-bait brainrot-voice.

No thanks, but thanks for the warning to not watch.

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 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"

What happens if they answer esports

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

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.

I was ranked in the top 15 butterflyers in the US between 1998 and 2000. I surf now.

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! I'd also like to play the piano or guitar, and I've tried learning, but I'm too clumsy for them. πŸ™ƒ

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

πŸ‘€

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.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

and God will judge me for it

Username checks out.

I would've asked about yours... but it's none of my business! πŸ˜… /dadjoke

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

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.

Nah dude I know I'm not athletic. And the sport is curling. It looks fun.

[–] fading_person@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Cross country running probably. Exploring new areas on different continents just for fun.

[–] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ice Hockey. It looks cool to play.

Baseball. But I can't catch or throw or hit, so I coach Little League

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.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

easy hammer throwing

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Golf. No need to be athletic. Checkmate!

I got a little annoyed even knowing that it was not directed me and was going to be a joke
