The point is that girls are fragile little things that @DangerousDUCK needs to protect from their own inherent ignorance of things outside of the kitchen. So, he'll be there to help him with his expert knowledge, expert because he claims its expert.
Clear? He's here to help them, because they are incapable of helping themselves. Oh, and he's begging for adds, so it's obviously so he can creep.
Bold how I interpret the OP.

If she's a girl, she lied about her age and should probably be on a site like sparkteens.yopeeps025 wrote: »

Hair will sprout in strange places, and you'll get a little acne. There's a good chance you might need to get a bra. Eventually, you'll get a job, move out on your own, go to college.
At that point, you'll have a little experience, a few miles on you, and a sense of self respect that would cause you to be offended by being referred to as a child.
One day kiddo, one day.
Check her age?

Probably the best site/author on the foundations of lifting on the net and widely quoted/used by virtually everyone seriously into lifting...
Also, I would note that most guys and girls-er, gals?- in the gym have not a damn clue as to what to do, so this is equal opportunity advice....at least women seem to be up to admitting as much while men will go one yr after yr working nonsensical programs that don't have much in the way of perceptible results.
Startingstrength is a great website an book, Mark Rippetoe really goes into great depth about form and technique, you really have to love the subject, not everyone will go that in-depth I think.
I'm not sure I would recommend everyone pick up weight lifting without providing the indepth resources they need to prevent a lot of injuries. And since I was terrified of killing myself and having no clue where to start, I read everything I could. Not doing so is rather reckless...0 -

Because creeping at the gym is likely to get him knocked in the head with a 40 pound dumbbell.

I think what bothers me the most is that you don't know the word "and" has D at the end. Just an observation based on my experience here.0 -

I agree to a certain extent but very few people will read a 350page tome on barbell training, It would be nice considering how dangerous it can be but very few if any at most gyms will be that well informed

anyways, i used to do the only cardio thing and knew I should use weights. Tried lifting at a regular gym and I definately agree with the whole trying to get a machine or dumbells issue. Especially the squat rack, that was a nightmare. The time I did it the results were so much better, but I just couldn't deal with it being so busy and difficult to do what you want so I went back to only cardio. Went right back to crappy results. Then I discovered crossfit, so much better! I get the results of lifting but don't have to fight over what I need and get cardio too!
It's not what he said, it's how he said it.
I see nothing wrong with how he said it, so.....?
So you speak for all women?
did I say that? no, I said i was glad I was normal and my opinion of normal is not reading into what every single person says. It is such a waste of time. Sure there are lots of people out there who do say flat out offensive things, but I think how this was written is not the intent.
But you say normal which like the other postersaid implies that normal women would not mind being call "girl". As you see from the thread if you read the whole thing(I did) that more say "girl" is offensive to them. So are these women not "normal?"0 -
