Guys who bother chicks when they(the women) are trying to work out always look like losers, I watch them get shot down constantly.
My GF gets hit on pretty frequently where we train ( we train at the same time , but not together) , and though I'm sure its kind of flattering in some cases , its annoying in general .
I have a similar routine. We warm-up and stretch together but then we go our
separate ways. It never fails... someone always interrupts her. I find the
staff to be incredibly annoying. I have been attending this gym for 2 years
and not *ONCE* has a staff member approached me to:
1)Give Tips
2)Offer free personal training
3)Ask if I need "assistance"
The second time I brought my girlfriend a staff member said to her:
"I've seen you coming here for quite some time now. Here is my card if you
would like some personal assistance."
Just last week I was in a squat cage next to a leg press where two black
dudes were chatting loud enough for me to get the gist of the conversation.
The "spotter" was running a pick up line buy his buddy to see how it
sounded and to raise some encouragement. Two minutes later he walks over to
my girlfriend and grabs her pony tail mid-set. (Prison-weight-skull-crushing
came to mind) He turns and walks away skiddishly, grabs his buddy, notices
my smirk, and jets. Shortly thereafter my girlfriend tells me his lame ass
pick up line (involving spotting on a machine..duh...) and her response of
"Don't ever touch me and if your looking for someone to spot my boyfriend is
right there...."
The line she uses the most to thwart shit-head suitors:
"If I wanted a personal trainer I'd pay for one..."
And an occasional:
"I'm busy."
"Don't talk to me"
"Fuck off"
Most of the time its laughable but some people take it too far. It was quite
an eye opener how many men try to pick people up at the gym. I check out
women if I think I can do it without getting caught. I make an effort not to
do any creepy leering or cause discomfort.
