Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 what gets me is the women who walk in with a pair of shorts that say pink or juicy in their rear and complain that guys are creepy... cause it's cute if the guy is hot, but creepy if the guy isn't to their liking... should this be in the argh thread...?It's nice working out a work gym, don't see too much of that type of thing.

I'll generally assume that particularly attractive guys are up to something, whereas normal ones I assume are a bit more trustworthy. Consequences of growing up a fat geek girl, I guess. If a jock came up and told me his friend had a crush on me, he was obviously trying to bully me, you know?...although I admit, I find those girls a bit odd too. I just don't really understand why you'd put in the effort to look sexy at the gym, when you're going to look sweaty and gross 45 minutes later. Today I was at the gym in beat up Converse, size 14 hiking shorts which are now enormous on me but have an elastic waistband so I still use them, and a second-hand purple tank top with skulls on it.

NotBadForAHuman Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yesterday I was doing some matwork pretty close to someone using a Roman Chair. The way we were positioned, I was lying down with my head at the end of the mat, and every time he came down and forward in his extension he'd come into my field of vision (think if we were lying head to head, but him face-down). The problem was, every time he came down he'd grunt, really loud, and between the rhythm and the grunting, I couldn't help it, I started to laugh (luckily, he didn't notice). I wasn't able to continue my exercise until he was gone, and I was trying not to laugh, and my trainer was like, "What's wrong? Are you okay? Are you crying?" Finally he left and I was able to stop laughing and tell her,"Usually if a guy is going to get on top of me and grunt a lot, I make him buy me dinner first." 4 Link to comment
WizardTrip Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I just don't really understand why you'd put in the effort to look sexy at the gym, when you're going to look sweaty and gross 45 minutes later.Honestly, the sweaty and "gross" that you are referring to can look pretty damn sexy to me! Got a couple female friends that I occasionally meet up with after they have been working out with the statement "Sorry, I'm sweaty and gross from the gym" when they show up. Hell no! They be smokin' and I will still walk up and will give them a big hug just like any other day!!! I'm all for the post-workout "glow"!

Mb82 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 If a girl or guy has something written on their shirt I will read it. If a girl has something written across her backside I probably will read it. I won't lie. Do I stare, well I try not to. If I do appear to be normally it is because I am thinking about something else and whatever is in front of me is collateral damage. ...although I admit, I find those girls a bit odd too. I just don't really understand why you'd put in the effort to look sexy at the gym, when you're going to look sweaty and gross 45 minutes later.I had a friend who one night was telling me about her workout attire. Makeup a tight shirt some tight shorts and a thong set to be visible. I asked her why get dressed up for the gym. Her comment was she wanted the boys looking at her. I rolled my eyes. She is sort of needy when it comes to attention, something I learned back in high school when we went out. I guess she never grew out of that. Link to comment
