Would I make greater friend gains in crossfit?

To make a friend you must be a friend. It is that simple. Note, this doesn't mean wiping a potential friend's ass 100% of the time.

You dont. Friends made at the gym are the ultimate gains goblins. At best you want a gym bro a guy who is there with you just to train not talk about sports or shoot the shit.

It doesn't matter where you go, it matters how you act to the people around you.
Talk to them about how they are doing, try to find out their interests and things you share in common, then go from there.
People won't just be your friend because you exist in a certain place
Don't, your attitude in the gym will change. Well that can be good if they're hardcore but they could get you injured if you aren't careful. And then vice versa they could stop you from lifting heavy
I beed myself

Just make sure they seem like they're open to the idea too. I'm not gonna lie I fukken hate when people try to talk to me at the gym. I appreciate the common wave, a head nod, or the rare helicopter but FUCK MAN. I'M THERE TO LIFT.

get drunk before going to the gym helps

Just wear earphones you autist. You don't have to be playing music.

Every Getty stock photo I see makes me wonder if their models and photographers live in a sealed bunker and have only the most basic idea of how people in the real world actually behave.
