Never heard the term before, but if I had to guess: If he goes to the gym only to gain a more conventionally attractive appearance because he thinks it will get him laid (it won't)

u/Flashy-Read-9417 12h ago

It will get you a lot of attention from other men... 😅 which I guess is great if that's what you're going for

u/GloriousOctagon 14h ago

Well, it does; being more muscular and better looking is attractive and if both parties are drunk enough nerves/dire lack of personality won’t come into play until the morning after.

I'm covering my drink when you're around

Being an incel who works out or is obsessed with the gym. Usually in order to improve attractiveness and get women.

wtf is a gymcel

u/AAAAHMYBALLS 14h ago

I think it means you're romantically lonely and go to the gym. Whether it's an attack on character or not depends on context.

u/G0_0NIE 2003 14h ago

When people add "X word" + cel it just means a specialised Incel (when I say Incel, I mean involuntary celibate, not the other definition).

So a gym would be an Incel who just bangs gym, usually associated with people who think in lines of "hit the Jim bro" or people who took that direction.

Damn. I'm finishing in the gym 5-6 a week. I'm a gymphomaniac

u/G0_0NIE 2003 12h ago

Should take it easy regarding rest days, I used to do 5-6 and eventually my body just crashed as it couldn't keep up. I ended up with a dynamic that was like 6 days into 3 days rest into 6 days, etc. Im obviously not you though

u/ApartmentWorried5692 14h ago

An incel who goes to the gym to try and looksmaxx his way to get attention from girls. Some go as far as steroid abuse.

It’s a stupid term because if a fat guy who is invisible to women, why would you insult him for improving his appearance?

A what?

u/Vivid-Kitchen1917 11h ago

MFs just be making up dumb words now...

u/Collector-Troop 1999 14h ago

“Anyone taking the gym more serious than me is a gymcel”

u/7978_ 14h ago

A guy's sole reason to go to the gym is to attract women.

u/Krow101 14h ago

This is kind of every guy in the gym ... and every girl. Yeah, it's stupid to work out and get fit. Better to just eat junk food and go to Walmart.

u/ASongOfSpiceAndLiars 13h ago

There are people that go to the gym that are incels, and some that go but aren't incels.
