Title: Worst place to get chatted up
Post by: Miss Demeanour on January 10, 2010, 11:59:12 AM
I have just returned from the gym  angel1 - I have gone many times since joining at Crimbo and am thoroughly enjoying it. I have also lost 5 lbs in just over a week  eeek: - so even if I don't lose any more or never return to the gym again - this week I am happy

However after just coming off the running machine today, looking like a steamed beetroot and dripping in 'moisture' I crawled to the water dispenser . Whilst topping up supplies some blokey siddles up ......

" I have not seen you here before" ( translation I have been through all the other women  ::) )

To which I politely replied that I had only joined 2 weeks ago

" Well if you need any help or to show you how things work I would gladly help " ( not wearing staff T shirt or ID so dismiss as one of those personal trainers and understand he is trying the old I can improve your putting technique , now let me just put my arms around you to show you how to hold the stick   lol: )

I said that was fine I think I understand how most things work  whistle:

"When are you in again - would you like to train together " he then says  eeek:  eeek: eeek: ( mmmm choose not to clarify what that meant )

Said I wasn't sure but thanked him for the offer

" Would you like to go for a drink sometime then " he persists

I am standing by the water dispenser with a mouth like Ghandi's flip flop - of course I want a drink  lol:

He must have some kind of perverse fetish for exhausted, sweaty , heavy breathing women who cannot speak much because they are actually dying  lol:

Sicko

At the gym I go to the females generally fall into 3 categories

 - young thin/aneroxic almost transparent, no one goes near them

 - old large who eye up the younger and not so young males, especially the staff ( they often behave like giggling schoolgirsl, the customers not the staff), younger males find somewhere to hide

 - extremely fit/attractive 30s /40s who the males are too scared/intimidated to approach

Which catagory are you in Miss D?  ;D

I wouldn't put myself in any of those categories  noooo:

But there are some women there who you just want to say stop exercising immediately and go an eat something  eeek:.

There is indeed a group of females that dress and parade for attention - there was a woman yesterday - she was extremely attractive , slim with a voluptuous chest and she had on the skimpiest of tops and even that had to reveal her lacy blue bra. Her chesticles were pushed together so tight I was surprised she could even breathe. Suffice it to say she would get on a machine , use it slightly for a minute or so and then get off - wouldn't want to break into a sweat now , that would look unattractive  ::). But it was quite funny to watch the blokes doing their meer cat impressions and watching her wherever she went  lol:

Taxi drivers are either Asian or 20 stone, pie-munching Brits. How does that promote gyms?

Wimmin only taxi companies have proved that wimmin will use such exclusive services~ by extension it follows that wimmin prefer the "safety" of services provided by wimmin for wimmin .....ie those that exclude men. ::)

I am never sure when you are correcting an ambiguous post, taking the p*ss or really not getting the point that I have tried, perhaps poorly, to make. As a consequence I grow wary of offering explanations. Perhaps we could work out a system of signs you could deploy.

Not sure I would go to a wimmin only gym but can see that some wimmin would prefer this - mainly because of the embarrassment of not looking their best at all times   ::)  or for cultural reasons of course - not because of any perceived risk to their personal safety.

In my experience the world of wimmin is pretty evenly split between those who think they can handle any situation and those who view every male as a potential threat. There are of course sub-divisions such as those who believe they should be liked/admired for their minds and not their looks (these generally are as ugly as sin) ..... they have "Victim" written all over them and would subscribe to wimmin only services of all sorts.

You meet a much better and genuine class of bloke up 'me 'ill'. cloud9:

I've met some really nice wimmin up there, but that's not why I go up.
None of us go up there for a 'pose' noooo:

You see, we have to make some serious effort in the first place, not just splash a bit of after shave on and wear some tight lycra shorts. sick2:

I don't believe there are 'wrong' places to chat up/be chatted up. It depends on the attractiveness of the 'chatterer'. (and timing)

1. If I use [serious] [/serious] it is just that.
2. ;) is used if it is an ambiguous correction or howler that might embarass the poster, to show there is no malice.
3. All others are p*ss taking.


In the case of replies to your own posts, assume 3.

I'm not so sure Mort. Years ago when I was a student nurse doing the mother and baby section of my training I was working with a Midwife in a clinic when my boss's other half came in for an exam. The midwife asked if it was ok if I examined her as well and she said it was fine. Then she started making comments about me having a good touch soon followed by Meg Ryanesque performance while she kept saying how nice she thought I was.   eeek:

I've never been so relieved as when the exam was over and she buggered off. Midwife was almost in hysterics the entire time.  noooo:
