Another gym pet peeve

[buffgrl23]

O my goodness I get this too! I was doing deadlifts the other day and I am sweating and trying to breathe. This guy walks behind me and says "why don't you smile?!" After my set I slammed the weight down and said "BECAUSE IM IN PAIN!" Do they not think that as women we can train intensely?! When I train I like to be focussed and intense. I'm not there to smile and look pretty. And those girls who do walk around smiling, with their hair down, and not sweating...are just there to get attention from the guys. GRR!

LMAO

I NEVER get approached in the gym or asked any questions....headphones and hat pulled low

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.... I have the headphones but no hat pulled low... I'm going to try that one!

simply reply "Iam smiling" and stare at them like keep walking mofo!

my friends, the following posts illustrate why I stopped training in a public gym almost two years ago. Irrespective of how bad, smelly or sweaty you may be, there will always be some dude that thinks this is a really great opportunity to get some play.

If you have the space and the $$ I highly reccomend building a good home gym.



(BTW, the response to "why dont you smile?" is "may I slap you for interrupting my workout? That would make me smile")

I wish I could -- but a row home in da hood isn't space-conducive.....

From a guy's perspective:

Guys are rediculous little animals who can't remember what our goals were the moment a woman walks in the room. It indicates who really rules the world doesn't it? So, smile and remeber who's boss...........

one of the advantages of being a bitch is that really good slams come to you naturally.

true, that is a classic. your answer: "it doesnt take long when you dont spend your time socializing"

other common ones are "I've never seen a girl workout this hard" or the closely related "never seen a girl use that much weight in the [insert exercise/machine name]" your answer: "I've never seen a person so hell bent on interrupting someone else's workout"
