I'm sure you know the story of Carlos Leon -
He's the Personal Trainer (although I'm not sure what he does now) that impregnated Madonna with her first child -
It's just an example of a common stigma for trainers, especially
males - there's a kind of perception women have of us, whether
conscious or not, as "escorts" -
Personal Training is a cool, fun job and if you're making money,
everything is great - you probably won't mind if this gets you "in" with girls or makes you a more fun person to hang with -
But we're talking about something different here, a phenomenon that you can relate to if you've been a trainer for a little while - that we're these fit guys that are here to take care of their physical needs, whatever they may be -
They feel comfortable making blatant passes at us because of what we do -
When you get started, this can be flattering - but after a while and depending on the situation, it can feel a little degrading -
I know I'm sounding like a major prude when I say something like
that - most guys are looking to get theirs and don't care how they get it - I know, I've been there -
But I've got a funny view on this - try to follow me -
That if you need to "steal" women from your work or professional
situation, it's the sign of an imbalanced personal life -
It means you're lacking in your personal game, and you need to step it up. You're not getting out enough and not interacting with people in natural social situations -
Our society has situations and venues built for equal partaking in meeting up and socializing - there's actually a very clear division between these social places and work situations -
Furthermore, if you're taking full advantage of your social life, meeting people when and where you work will feel almost gross -
So take my word for it, or figure it out the hard way!
