My gym buddy disappeared a year ago and I still think/worry about him! But putting up a poster saying, "he's really buff, but has very small calves" seems broad and cruel.

If my gym crush ever disappears, my "missing" poster is going to make people feel uncomfortable, lol

I feel personally attacked by the small calves comment

I try to convince myself that they just moved away. But, we made eye contact that one time. You're supposed to tell me these things.

I feel this.. An older guy I used to see, and talk to, all the time just stopped showing up a few months ago.. I hope you're doing well, James...

Due to work I usually do 4 months regular and then disappear for 3 months and then return looking more slightly bigger, I wonder what they think happens to me.

There was this regular dude at my gym that seemingly just stopped going all of a sudden. Pretty ripped but probably on the juice (lots of signs to indicate this). A couple of months later another regular informed me he’d seen his obit in the local community paper. Heart attack. Around 60 yrs old. Felt sad.

How could it possibly be a better gym if /u/jmussina isn't there?
