Conversation with a Queer at the Gym: "You aren't wearing your thSuperman thShirt?"

[Synpax]

At least half the guys at the gym I am at are gay. Maybe more. I am not but they sort of mess with me or give me the 'queer eye' from time to time. I don't mind and often rely on them to spot me. Today one of them started chatting with me.

Him: "Hey there" as I approach the desk that I keep my workout sheet on while I train.

Me: "Hi there" (being polite trying not to give off any encouragement)

(a minute passes as I move to do my standing db shoulder presses)

Him: "XXXX" (can't here him over my MP3s. Turn it down and walk closer to him)

Me: "Pardon me?"

Him: "I thsee your not wearing your thsuperman thshirt today"

Me: (perplexed look)

Him: "I thsaid I thsee your not wearing your thsuperman thshirt today"

Me: "I, uh, I've never worn a superman shirt."

Him: "I thsaw you yesterday wearing one."

Me: "No, I definitly did not have a super man shirt on."

Him: "I mean one of those body armor thshirts. You had it on yesterday."

Me: (pausing to think) "Oh. You mean UnderArmour(TM)?"

Him: "Yeths. That's what I call thsuperman shirts."

Me: "Ah. I'm working my shoulders today and I like to let them be unrestricted" (I have on a racing singlet - like a wifebeater I guess)."

Him: "I thsee" (laughs)

A little amusing. Mostly they just ask what I do for X body part (usually legs/calves). Just thought I'd share. I guess this is better than oggling me in the locker room.

You have yourself to blame you responded with "hey there" back to him so he probably assumed you were also gay at that very moment. next time just nod a hello if you want to be polite.

anyone who wears that corny under armour tight shit to the gym deserves to be hit on by the fruits.

 

[EnderJE]

Tell him that you think he's hot, but your girlfriend won't approve.

You need to work on your presentation skills before attempting another thread like this.

I guess I put reality ahead of good drama.

I suppose it could have ended with
a) a hot sauna scene
b) me tothssing him out the 2nd story window into traffic
c) the entire free weight area breaking out into song

for the record - I said "hi there." But you are correct. I guess I was just in a good mood from all the thermos kicking in.

[jerkbox]

[Synpax]

*blush*

An ugly/fat chick saying something nice about how I look would be about on the same level. However, since my personal esteem isn't driven by anyone other than myself, it's moot.

 

[coverguy]

LMAO!!!


The lisp was great.

Not a speed suit. Just the top/shirt/sleeveless thing. I was wearing regular shorts. It's really loose and like I said to my good friend in the first post, I do not like to have my shoulders restricted when I am working on them.

 

[Ffactor]

You work out????

dupont circle gym?

Thomas Circle (close). There are three gay bars next door - The Green Lantern (a gay comic book character), The Tool Shed, and The Manhole.

Still, there are some nice looking girls there but I rarely see them as the cardio is on a different floor from the weights.
