This is to the nice guy who works out there often, usually dressed in black.
As a petite girl its nice to see a polite guy who doesn’t walk around there with his chest puffed out making smaller people clear a path for them as they walk by, who doesn’t leer at the girls in lulu lemon spandex as they walk by and who can actually muster a polite ( not creepy ) smile when eye contact is made, who always yields to people trying to get a drink of water and wipes down the equipment as if he is about to sell it on ebay
Sometimes it’s like being on display there, so it’s nice to know there are a few polite guys left in this world who know how to conduct themselves while in public. I see you at least three times a week for the past few months and don’t even know your name. Gyms tend to be a breeding ground for some pretty atrocious male behaviour. Nice to see there are a few gentlemen left.

Dear Gym-Goer girl! I hope you’re the same gym-going girl who I secretly love to meet on the street to and from the Y on south park street. Did you do jazzersize too? haha Because I definately did.
It’s nice to have someone nice to look for, even if you don’t know their name. 🙂
I love walking by the gyms and seeing the hot-ass honies working out their hot booties. Keep it up, ladies! I love you all and whether you’re 20 or 50, tiny little deflated booty or big-ass ghetto booty, I love female booty. Shake it if you got it. Yum.
How about pregnant booty? LOL. I told my trainer to tell his fellow trainers that he just can’t get me to lay off the beer, once my belly gets bigger. It’s funny when you work out and your arms and legs get smaller and you end up with this huge ass gut. Until it turns into the “swallowed a beach ball look”…then the beer joke won’t be believeable. We’ll have a laugh though for probably at least a few more weeks.
Oh, yes, by the way, SammyJoe is a girl. Some of the commentators here have referred to me as a him and that’s ok but it would be weird for them to read the first line of this comment.
Gym Goer Girl, I’m with you about the leerers. Most of us go to the gym to work out, not be stared at.
“Most of us go to the gym to work out, not be stared at.”
Most, but not all. How are we supposed to know the ones who do go there to get stared at and hit on? Because you know there are women who do, it’s just that most of us single guys can’t always tell which ones. Anyway, I don’t leer, I just have a look, or two, or so. What’s wrong with that?
On a related note… where the hell are men supposed to or “allowed to” hit on women? You go to parties “just to have fun and socialize with friends, not to be hit on.” You go to bars and clubs “just to have a few drinks with friends, dance and have fun, not to be hit on.” You go to work “to work, not to be hit on.” You go to school “just to study and learn, not to be hit on.” You go to the gym “to workout, not to be hit on.” You walk down Spring Garden Road wearing sexy skimpy clothes “just to dress nicely and go for a walk, not to be hit on.” Damnit, where CAN we hit on you? Please let me know.
I think the point is that they don’t want to be hit on at all…
just fall naturally into a conversation and end up scoring a number.
I’m by no means an expert though, total social recluse….
but opening lines that sound rehearsed are typically a total fail from the get-go.
I may not participate, but I do watch…
“I may not participate, but I do watch…”
cause that’s not creepy… lol
Natural conversation with a woman WITHOUT hitting on them? Huh? What’s that?
I prefer to watch first, then participate.
yeah, I’m the creepy, uncomfortable guy in the corner eating all the cheese dip and not saying a word to anyone.
usually makes me a ‘good listener’ though
