    Women, Which is more loathsome - an unsolicited d pic or unsolicited advice in the gym?

    Unsolicited advice is my #1 biggest pet peeve

    In the future you might want to include a period at the end of your sentences.

    I was totally under the impression that periods at the end of a sentence was rude...............

    Am I rite?.

    no, no. it’s capitalizing that’s rude

    How unsolicited are we intending? Like completely out of the blue, or just a little early/no stamp on the already composed invite?

    So.....what if i observe you training and notice if you continue doing what you are doing you will most likely tear your rotator cuff.....do i, A- keep my mouth shut and let you do damage to yourself.....B - offer advice and let you do damage to me as you shout me down for mansplaining or some other sexist charge......or C - send a D pic 😆

    Let the bro get hurt

    Well you would hate me then. First off i dont normally workout in health club type gyms so this kind of thing rarely happens. Secondly, im a person first a bro second, if i see someone possibly hurting themselves im gonna say something and I dont give a rats *kitten* if it offends them or if they get all butthurt by it. They can curse at me or mean mug me all they want, ill smile at them and go about my business and leave them to their toils knowing i tried.

    Now, if it isnt a matter of someone hurting themselves......i dont even acknowledge them let alone talk or give advice.

    I once gave some unsolicited advice in this exact same situation.

    The lady was going to tear a rotator cuff.
    She had horrible form, too much weight & a stupid angle on the bar.

    She became super indignant:
    "I've been lifting for several years, blah, blah, my form is spot-on, blah, blah, blah...."

    "Sure, okay lady; have at it. Sorry I bothered you."

    Personally, i take my glasses off, turn my music up, and mind my business.

    Personally I just don't go. I can tear a rotator cuff falling down my stairs thank you...and I have. 😬

    I think it should pretty much be a rule that you don't comment on another person's appearance. I don't like how I look and if someone comments on it, it just reminds me that everything I hate about my appearance is obvious to everyone, and likely the first thing they see. And it doesn't matter if they're commenting in a positive way.

    I can understand that. And it’s weird to compliment people on things they mostly have no control over. But I like getting nice comments anyway.

    It depends if you think they're nice. I've gotten a lot of people who told me I looked like a football player, a bodyguard, and other oafish stereotypes that only confirmed to me that I really did look as unattractive as I had feared.

    Well, you can take C off the choices right now and send them to me. Good idea, no? :)

    I agree. I've been called Moose when I was younger. It's not only embarrassing, it's(to me) derogatory. But if there's a trainer going through, or somebody who acts like they're being sincere and honestly want to help, then I feel it'd be more helpful. However, IF they don't appear helpful, or just need to feel superior then I'd thank them and keep on doing what I'm doing. I think each situation calls for specific reactions.

    Maybe a silly comparison but during my dh and my first years together, we tried tennis. We were bad. His abilities were just as bad as mine. I figured we were in it for bonding time. :/ But he felt the need to correct my form, etc. Hey buster......:) You get the idea.

    Unsolicited d pic for sure. Someone would have to go through a lot of effort to spit some unsolicited advice at me in the gym. I wish those d pics were as rare.

    Are you more open with your friends or your lovers? With whom do you share more of your heart? With whom are you more honest?

    Lovers for sure. I bet they wish that they knew less about me. 😅

    Strangers! Less potential for damage. Less connection. Easier to walk away from. Not sure what this says about me...

    I don’t open up easily.

    It is hard to make & keep friends as an adult
