hexaemeron Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 So, yesterday, I was at the gym in my workout (I was in the middle of 30 minutes on the rower - OMG) and this woman who was in full makeup and jewelry in her spanx, early 40s comes over and lounges in the more laid back exercycles right next to me and starts staring at me and smiling and tossing her hair around as she languidly made some passing attempt to look like she was using the bike. I mean, I always thought I rocked my sausage party card pretty openly, but she was being really overt, like Barb from CougarTown. I didn't know what to do except keep working out because it made me a little uncomfortable, not because she's older, or a woman, or anything, but because when I go to the gym, I'm there to beat myself to a pulp. I'm not in any other mode. Anything I can do to dissuade that sort of thing in the future or do I just have to accept that it comes with the territory sometimes and suck it up? Link to comment
Mauxly Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Suck it up for now, it is funny. I'm pretty sure this woman is a one off. She's obviously a few beers short of a six pack. Makeup at a gym? Hitting on a younger gay guy? I don't see too many of us doing that. If this particular woman continues to bother you, just remark to her how 'hot that guy over there is'. She'll find another victim.

TechResQ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 lmao!! Sorry, but this made me crack completely up! Especially the "Rock my Sausage Party Card" statement! BAHAHAHA!!! I am afraid you will probably just have to kinda suck it up and realize those women are EVERYWHERE.... (she was probably so full of herself she actually thought she could turn you straight!)

H20 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 LMAO...rock that sausage you hottie!!! You must be so hot the 'older' cougars notice you!!! lmao Link to comment
hexaemeron Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yeah, it was really really strange. When I'm in workout mode, it's almost like I think I become invisible or something, so when something like this happens, it really yanks me out of my zone. Link to comment
hexaemeron Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 That was you? Oh. I highly doubt you wear that much warpaint, FE. If she had a tomahawk, it wouldn't have been out of place. Link to comment
FarthestEdge Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I highly doubt you wear that much warpaint, FE. If she had a tomahawk, it wouldn't have been out of place. yeah, I don't wear spandex either...no one needs to see that...Tell her you know of this great product..It's called "Camelflage", to rid her of the unsightly camel-toe..... link removed I guess it's the price you have to pay for being a hottie Hex. DH get's cougar-hunted at the gym sometimes too. Just remember, just because she's a cougar who applies her makeup with a trowel, doesn't mean she doesn't recognize a hot guy when she sees him... In a way, gotta give her credit for having the er, ovaries to go after what she wants..... Link to comment
CCmedic Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I mean, I always thought I rocked my sausage party card pretty openly LOL When people try to talk to me at the gym, I turn up my headphones and just focus on what I'm doing without looking in their direction. I hear ya man, it's all business for me too at the gym, not a social party. Link to comment

I hear ya man, it's all business for me too at the gym, not a social party. Yeah, see, that's my thinking exactly. I have a very strict plan, no wasting time, in and out. I get up at 4:45am, I'm on the go non stop working until 4:30pm, when I then run 2.24mi to jump start my commute, then hit the gym for either more running, or lifting (depending on the day) and then a jog home for two hours of dinner, bf quality time and then finally bed. I don't have time for cougar distractions. Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have some old men that are hitting on me at work. Wanna trade? I'd take a cougar any day over these fellows. Link to comment
hexaemeron Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have some old men that are hitting on me at work. Wanna trade? I'd take a cougar any day over these fellows. Actually, I would. I know exactly how to handle them. One side-eye at 40% strength usually does the trick. Link to comment
digger11 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 perfect shirt! so many guys at the gym say to me "you're not smiling" uh no sir, I'm not. I am pretty zoned out, enjoying my music, and kicking my own ass.... I tend tend to smile while contemplating what the next torturous exercise is. Link to comment
Huntress0527 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I love seeing those girls at the gym! They are utterly ridiculous. People are there to workout not hookup. At least one would hope. I always hated being on a treadmill in front of guys; I always felt they were looking at my backside, lol. Link to comment
doiiiieeezie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I want that t-shirt! I also have one that says back the **** off from the old days...anyhoo. Shake it off and have a good laugh at it. I guess cougars don't have the gaydar going? Link to comment
DaBladeRoden Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What's the gay equivalent of a cougar? A papa bear? Link to comment
hexaemeron Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 What's the gay equivalent of a cougar? A papa bear? Or a greyback gorilla, if he's aggressive, yeah. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What's the gay equivalent of a cougar? A papa bear? What bothers me is that when a man goes after younger women...it's fine. But, women get ridiculous names like 'cougar' and 'puma'. Link to comment
DaBladeRoden Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 They don't get any specific animal names just "predator" Link to comment
TechResQ Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Okay, I officially declare I find you awesome. That t-shirt is so me. Ordered! Thanks! ya better get one in pink, just so you can convey the message a little more clearly. lol Link to comment
Honey Pumpkin Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 What bothers me is that when a man goes after younger women...it's fine. But, women get ridiculous names like 'cougar' and 'puma'. Yeah, totally agree with this... Link to comment
