The hot get hotter and the not...well...

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.
