jfreeman420 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well, the good news is I started going to the gym today for the first time in about 11 years. I used to play sports in high school but since then I have let myself go. I am 5'11" and 240 pounds. I put on 15 pounds in the last two months and I am totally digusted with myself. I've even had to add links back to some of my watches................ So I drag myself out of bed at 7:30 am and go to the gym. I am lucky enough to have a pretty nice gym in my development. I figure who would be there this early. I turn the corner and bam................. There's this super hot 20 something blonde with the tightest body I have seen in her little pink workout clothes on the machine that looks like you are skiing (don't know what it's called.) I suck in my gut a little and walk over to the treadmill. Having no idea what the hell I'm doing I get on trying to look cool and push a couple buttons. The thing doesn't start. I push some more buttons and the start button and off I go. It starts off slow and I think this isn't so bad. Gradually the belt starts moving faster and faster and now I'm at full trot. I push the down arrow to slow it down but it doesn't work. Now I'm really starting to worry and I don't want to look like an ass in front of the hottie so I keep going. I don't know what I was thinking but thank god after about 5 minutes she was done and left. I hit that stop button as soon as the door shut and tried to catch my breath. The good news is now I had some time to read the instructions and I got on with my workout. Maybe within a few months and 50 pounds the blonde,pink workout outfit wearing hottie will be my next date......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Try wearing similar pink outfit next time. Maybe it'll catch her attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kollektor Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Well if that's not motivation to work out, I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Eliptical , thats the name of the machine First, "development" sounds really ominous. I use "condo" for where I live. *g* Secondly, I too have a gym downstairs which has all the newest machines available, as one would in a pricey Gold Gym or Bally Scandinavian spa. Indeed, the Univ of Miami has them too, which I can use, but that's a schlepp for me where I am. The elliptical is my fave, followed by the rowing machine. Coincidentally, I use a pink and white workout outfit too, although it's mostly black/white Nike gear since it makes one slimmer. The only work out area I'm never in is the free weights section, since that's dominated by men similar to what I assume were more common in this forum, before I came -- rather macho, slightly misogynistic males who don't care for women around when they're talking of 'portant stuff like lifting. And don't worry, jfreeman, I'm sure if she didn't give you the "look" (a quick glance which meets a man's eyes, and has a smile embedded in them, even though her facial expression doesn't change), she didn't even notice you were there. *gg* @Sir-Lancelot: Uh, by and large, that is correct. We're not as stimulated visually as men, therefore I have never personally understood the lure of porn (but also I'm not into romantic comedies, as a rule. Love When Harry Met Sally though). About the rich part, that is not necessary, and he'll come out looking like a jerk. Women care about words over images, yes, but what words you use are very important. If she's impressed by money, or rather the acquisitive prowess and taste of a man, then make sure you dangle your keys near her, so she can see the car you drive. That should do it. It wouldn't for me, though. I care about a man's demeanour, and elegant bearing, rather than muscles and $$$. P.S.: Yes, Sir-Lancelot, I know you were saying all that tongue-in-cheek. But hey.

Sir-Lancelot Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Women are not as stimulated visually as we are. She most likely does not care that you chubby. Women are stimulated by what they hear. My suggestion, walk over to her and tell her you are rich. Yea, that should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Funny story,,, I always use watches as a working out motivator. I'll get this or that watch when I make whatever my next goal is. I have a great gen in mind if I can finish my next goal. As far as the gym goes, I'm still young enough to notice the attractive women working out but too old and married to think I would ever be noticed back...

Yes it is a condo, and I am in south florida................Was that hottie you? Women are not as stimulated visually as we are. She most likely does not care that you chubby. Women are stimulated by what they hear. My suggestion, walk over to her and tell her you are rich. Yea, that should do it. I have no problem with women even being chubby. Lots of women find it sexy. I was more embarrased about not knowing how to work the machine. I got over bragging about money before I turned 30. I've grown enough to know I don't want a woman who wants me for my money. I'll save that for after I turn 70 ......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 HA HA HA!! 20 something... blonde.. yeah that will work for sure. Forget the date, just take her back up to your place for a shower after her workout tell her you have puppies and booze up there and she'll follow you for sure My suggestion, walk over to her and tell her you are rich. Yea, that should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Yes it is a condo, and I am in south florida................Was that hottie you? Holy crepe! Maybe -- well, I wouldn't say hottie. I'm "okay". By the way, I'm a frosty British type when first you meet me. A bit like Grace Kelly -- cool, but just so that you know, there's a raging volcano of love inside. *g* I have no problem with women even being chubby. Lots of women find it sexy.

I'll save that for after I turn 70 ......... Actually! I've always liked older men because early on, I noticed they can appreciate a woman for her qualities not her body or looks only. I guess by the time you get to your 60s/70s, you know what's what in life, and you know the bimbettes without brains and little foundation mean squat, unless you're a gajillioner like that chap Marshall who married the late Anna Nicole.

I bet you look better than you think in those workout clothes. By the way, I'm a frosty British type when first you meet me.

Watchmeister Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 And it didn't even occur to you to start yapping "First time down here can you assist me?" or some crap like that. You would have avoided the potential embarassment and started up that dialogue which you will pursue over the ensuing days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bimbettes do tend to squat quite a bit more, no doubt. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
