Very much true in my experience. I could have done without the spandex, though.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Before spandex was invented, they did it naked.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 13 points 3 weeks ago

Naked arm wrestling is just competitive hand jobs.

[–] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Now that's what I'm talking about!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

the spandex was/is for the crowd's benefit not yours

Once, with a bunch of friends and a mighty hangover, I managed to stumble into the European championship for armwrestling. I've never seen so many guys together looking like Quagmire when he discovered online porn before, nor since. That was one weird, but also very fun experience. 5/7, would do again

Men let women and children escape first in an emergency so they can hang back and make out with each other.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Right. "Make out". I've been doing this wrong apparently.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Unintended pun?

[–] Ibaudia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Shit, we have a leaker guys.

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Why women gotta make everything sexual?

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

BJJ takes it to the next level.

The true pinnacle of homoerotic combat sport is and always will be Turkish oil wrestling

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

before that was wrestling greek/roman times.

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh man, it's real. And they wear tight leather pants. And every other photo online shows a guy with his hands inside the other guys tight leather pants.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 3 weeks ago

Getting your hands inside your opponent's trousers is genuinely the strategy because it's just about the only way to get an actual hold on them when everything is covered in oil

It should also be noted that the competitors specifically oil each other up before the bout

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

When men hold hands they both win.

[–] hexdream@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, why is there grunting sounds coming from bob's house. Isnt he single? Oh, hes just practicing arm wrestling with jack...

Men invented football so they could shower together and smack each others asses

It’s weird how much toxic masculinity ideas like this (“lol gay!”) are just as easily projected from a pro-gay as homophobic viewpoint. It’s the same picture.

[–] Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Welp, that explains why I prefer to watch female wrestlers...

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

And over-torque their humerus, causing a nasty break.

this really puts sylvester stallone's masterpiece over the top in a whole new light

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Gonna start telling the dude that always asks me to arm wrestle that I don't want to hold hands with him.

[–] ezeno789@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

She knew too much...😨
