So here's the thing. When I go to the gym, I don't expect to draw much attention - all said and done, I hope I don't. I'm not in the best shape and I don't believe I look attractive as I'm exercising. Most guys who go either follow the same philosophy, or just get on with what they're doing - this might not hold true in the weight area, but I don't venture there. My knowledge of steroids is insufficient.
For women, it seems to be different.
Now I'm not complaining, but I only ever seem to see attractive, athletic and 'in-shape' women at the gym. I mean, it follows that they've probably been going there for a while and it's a habit, hence they are there and look as good as they do. But why is it only attractive women go to the gym?
Maybe it's because the less attractive women are intimidated by the prospect of going, because of the attractive ones who are guaranteed to be there, but at the same time, the could just ignore their presence. It's like urinal-etiquette in guy's bathrooms; go in, choose a urinal as isolated as possible, eyes front and do your business. In fact, that's what I do when I'm at the gym.
Although that might also be because I work out at the back of the gym and all the girls there are attractive and in the skimpy sports-wear that is apparently a must have. Again, I'm just pointing out an observation. Definitely not complaining. Every guy I know who goes to my gym makes the same observation.
Although at the end of the day, that's not why I go to the gym. Really, I go to the gym so I don't have to go the gym. Really, I don't want hours of my day eaten up sweating away for no reason. Which is why I do it, to avoid it in the future. Yes, I would like to be in better shape and look more attractive, but primarily I am in fact going for myself. Let's face it, who else is going to care how I look right now?
Really it's just something to fill the time. But because it's roughly 0% intellectually occupying I got to thinking, why don't less attractive women feel the same way? I mean, they'd get to look at whatever attractive guys are there and feel better about themselves.
My next thought is pretty much whether any of these girls would talk to me if I tried to start a conversation. Having tried, the consensus is no; apparently my knowledge of steroids is still insufficient.

"they'd get to look at whatever attractive guys are there and feel better about themselves" is where you are so fatally mistaken. Feeling gross after running for 5 minutes would make most "less attractive" women feel unfit leading to feelings of inadequacy compared to the type of women who wear skimpy outfits in the gym (and not just the only comfy trousers/trainers they own) combine this with the presence of attractive men (who are either totally sleazing all over scantily clad women, each other or themselves) would make any less attractive woman feel even worse! If you really want to see the less attractive women, go to a class like such entitled "aqua-aerobics" it may be full of middle-aged women but as bad as that sounds it would be a better experience than expanding your knowledge of steriods...particularly if you find a girl who takes them, would you really want a date whose chest hair rivals yours?! :p xxx
ReplyDeleteWell that cleared up my confusion, thank you greatly. I can see the logic in your argument. I think I'll skip the aqua-aerobics though...sorry...
