Exercise and... Flowers?
I just got back to the gym. And while I was there, I saw this girl... and she had FLOWERS in her hair. I shit you not. This chick put flowers in her hair to go to the gym.
This is what I don't get. While at the gym the other day (maybe a week ago), this guy got my attention and I took off my headphones. He asked me if he looked gay in his shirt, because it was spandex. It was an under armor type thing made for working out. There are ALWAYS girls there whering what I would consider 5 years worth of makeup.
What's the point? You're at the gym, presumably to exercise, improve your health, etc. Why should anyone care what others think? So you think I might think you're gay... you're exercising. Why does it matter?
It's well known that our gym is a meat market. People check eachother out. People ask eachother out. Just a week ago (same day as the gay shirt question), I had a guy ask me, "Do you come here often?" which was followed by "What's your major?" and "What year are you?" WTF?????
I don't go to the gym to get dates. I don't go there to check guys out (though I have to admit I don't mind the eye candy, it's a nice distraction sometimes). And I definitely don't do my makeup, put flowers in my hair, or contemplate whether or not my choice of clothing makes me look gay. Hell, I don't even care if I've shaved my legs in the last month. And yes, I wear shorts.
It's getting to be a pet peeve of mine. People go to the gym for a million other reasons than to exercise. Reasons other than to take a break and get some activity in. The gym shouldn't be a place for dates, it shouldn't be someplace where folks get all concerned about their appearance, like at a bar on a Friday night. We should all be hot and sweaty and gross there. No makeup, unshaved legs, hair mussed up, sweat dripping off us... you get the idea.
And NO ONE should wear flowers in their hair.
