I dislike it when a guy assumes that the reason I wear a push-up bra is because I want them to look at my chest and focus only on that. I hate it when they assume that the reason why I wear these heels just so they can ogle me and make absurd sounds that would only disgust me. Believe it or not...I actually think of myself, or how it would fit me or suit me, when I wear such items.

But what really got to me is this:

I don't like it when they assume that the ultimate reason why I do squats and deadlifts is because I want them to pinch my ass or smack it around some while I'm actually losing all sense of myself in the lift. The first one was aggravating, the second time made me want to shove them plates down or up some crevices, and I can guarantee it to be excruciatingly painful at the very least...but alas...patience and civility must remain.

No thank you...gluteal muscles never grow because it was pinched, smacked or oggled. It's a proven fact that it does not need that kind of attention to induce muscle growth.

And yes I own half of the gym, so I have every right to object to the said pincher's presence.

And with that said..my ranting is now over.

I am outraged on your behalf, cupcake. I can't believe someone did that to you mid-lift, not only is it rude, it's downright dangerous, you could have lost all form and injured yourself.
I'm sending howdie and asimmer over to kick his ass, right now!

I know princesslodgey, I dropped what I was lifting, without any stray toes in the way , so that part was okay. I was really pissed though, I mean the deadlift is like one of the hardest exercises for me, and he had to just extend that hand and be a jerk.

It would've been great though if either asimmer or howdie was there, they'd have taught him a few tips on what to do when a woman is doing the deadlift.

Oh well hec..at least now I think I know why you slipped on technique on your deadlift :) I so understand you dude.

Had it been me that person would never forget me after I was through with him! That is one place no one is allowed to touch me without permission first :angry:
So glad to hear you didn't injure yourself cupcake! Give that jerk a slap from me

If you own half the gym, BAN HIS A**.

That's all the sensitivity I can come up with. Men have needs too though. These are the ground rules for treatment of the male in my household. Maybe you ladies could come up with one for yourselves.

1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl.
If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it
down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving
it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the
changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let's be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to
almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help
solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your
girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem.
See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an
argument. In fact, all comments become null and void
after 7 days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't
ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways
and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant
the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us
how you want it done. Not both. If you already know
best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to
say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and
neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default
settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color.
Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve
is.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we
will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying,
but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to,
expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything
you wear is fine...really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you
are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the
shotgun formation, tennis, poker, or golf.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this.

Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight,
but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like
camping.

cupcake, had i been there i would've gladly defended your honor. if it had been me who was pinched, slapped, or whatever else that sicko could come up with, i guarantee i would've grabbed him by his traps and head-butted his ass to the ground, after which i would've promptly dropped a 45lb dumbbell on his special place.

there is no place for that in any gym, whether it is men doing it to women or women doing it to men. it is, simply put, dangerous and inappropriate. i think you should use your ownership status and block that guy for life. he has no business being in a gym with the opposite sex.

You know there are gyms that are only for women, and they are VERY popular. However, if there were gyms ONLY for men, they would either be empty or only inhabited by the "Arvids" and "Screetches" of the world. LOL

I saw a gal in the gym the other day that was more ripped than I ever even imagined myself. Shoot! She was pounding out those dips and alternating in the leg-lifts. She was doing sets of 20 and not even breaking a sweat or breathing fast. Wow! I would pay large sums of money to have the pecs she has! (Yes, I know the difference between her pecs and her boobs, thanks!)

It's really sad to see people without any respect for others. I can't say that I've ever seen anyone in a gym grab someones body parts. In the Navy that's cause for loss of rank. On the USS George Washington 2 E5's surrounded an officer. One talked dirty to her while the other ran up behind her and spanked her *ss. They ran, but considering there really isn't anywhere to hide on a ship out in the middle of the sea, they were both brought to Captain's Mass and reduced to E3. They deserved it!

LMAO!!! I saw a gal in the gym the other day wearing hot pink spandex with the long ratty t-shirt yesterday. I immediately thought of you and what you might say.

At absolutely no time did I EVER consider grabbing any part of her body, except maybe the cuff on the head to remind her that hot pink spandex went out with Debbie Gibson and Punky Brewster.

Shoot! Just be glad you don't have to share the locker room with them. I workout on an Army post. Some of these guys are in shape, but the ones that usually are in there are shaped like Charlie's buffalo. And they aren't shy in the least!!! LOL

i must say it takes a lot of restraint on my part to NOT say anything, considering my deep love of social criticism. i used to stand on the corner and tell people to go back inside and change because what they were wearing was not ok. yes, i am the fashion police, and i am the anti-spandez czar.

man...you guys are fast LOL. I catch up on work and boom. and I don't even know where to begin..

yeah. I almost banned his a$$. But well. I decided to be nice that day, although that overwhelming urge to pull him by the nipple rings and kick the living daylights out of his beloved jewels, I decided to be nice. I did tell him that I'll do exactly what I said if he comes within a five feet radius. And I did tell the staff to keep an eye on him, if he does that again to anyone, he'll face sexual assault.

on the other hand charlie..I think you missed some things.

1. when a man says he wants a beer. You should give him "ice cold" beer wearing the sexiest outfit you have.
1a. after bringing him that beer, move away..you are blocking the tv.
1b. after moving away...be quiet..i can't hear the tv.
1. after being quiet...bring me some chips or anything edible.
1. after bringing edible food, go back to rules 1a and 1b.
1. Now after all that. Proceed to do the dishes whilst I break some manly sweat being angry at how some of these players could've done better.
1. You should still be quiet after all those. I'm going to sleep. Please don't hog the comforter.

yep hec. gotcha on that. however, this here being the philippines, our legal system isn't exactly as smooth as yours. trust me, those charges will just get laughed at by a male judge. It's saddening I know. but if he does do that again, that's when I'll have enough leverage to smack him around with a sexual assault charge. Then the satisfaction will be so much more. :angry:

tex, yes, some people actually offered to do that..but well, he might be an jerk but I won't beat him up. He'll ruin my manicure.

I do however like the idea howdie. Or maybe..I can drop those 20lb db's on his toe the next time I see him. "Ooopps..was that a toe? Oh my...oh look how cute...it's beginning to get bigger! does that hurt? *stomp* oh..I'm sorry..I thought it didn't hurt..."

You what would be real fun. Next time you see him, hand him a camera and ask him to take a picture of it. Then, not only can he brag to his friends that he did it, but you have proof.

Or you can have him take a pic of you doing the deadlifts and tell him that you are going to post it on the message board. That would REALLY drive him crazy.

It's all about stooping to his level for retrobution. LOL
