Gym princesses?

I find these girls to be a bit of a joke as well, but like someone else said, as long as they aren't choking me out with perfume, to each his own, I guess!
I don't think the gym is a bad place to meet people though. The older you get, the harder it can be to meet good people, and at least someone in the gym probably cares about their appearance a little more... I have a single friend who complains all the time how she doesn't like bars, and I keep telling her to join a gym, because I talk to cute nice guys all the time there, and I'm married!.0 -
...You're not there to find a boyfriend, you're there to get a body to GET a boyfriend.
:huh:
I dunno... I feel like the gym is a great place to "vet" potential boyfriends. Think about it... you get to observe their etiquette, the way they treat people and equipment, and their hygiene. These are all things I need to know before I commit!
Sure, one of many great places to meet... But I can't agree w/ the reason for going is to get a body to get a man. I can't boil down going to the gym to that *LOL*0 -
Just because they pay their monthly dues does not make them immune to criticism. It's somewhat equivalent to being a member at a country club and showing up only to halfheartedly hack the golf ball around and slow down play. Yes, you have a right to be there and do that, but that doesn't mean it's not hella annoying.
There is also a difference between a professional woman squeezing in a workout on her lunch break and a party girl who thinks the gym is a runway, and I think we all know which one the OP is complaining about.
i just dont get why it annoys you what is it bothering you. what your saying is you are criticizing but sounds like we are in high school and you are just making fun of people on like you.
Am I not allowed to be annoyed by things? Is the OP not allowed to express her frustration? Are opinions only permissible when no one's feelings get hurt?0 -

It doesn't have to be valid to be expressed. Just look at politics.
This is not a political forum.
Also, I'd really like to take the OP to my gym tonight. All of the hoochie women (working out with their kids no less). She would just pass out and not be able to handle it. HOOCHIE workout women unite!!!
It's wonderful that you support the "hoochies." Some people don't, and that's perfectly fine.0 -
I didn't even bother reading this whole thread.
Again, who the eff cares besides you?!
The fact that someone may be labeled a "looser" (it's LOSER, BTW) just because they're at the gym and they're all "made up", is so ignorant....but you certainly don't want them to look at you and wonder anything about "sweating like a pig".. Please tell me you see the contradiction here?!0 -
why I care?
cause you cannot not care about what is around you? I'm entitled to have my opinion as you have yours.0 -
I hear it burns extra calories if you judge people while working out. The venom speeds up your metabolism.0

As long as their perfume doesn't make me gag and they are out of my way it doesn't bother me.
This. There is a lady who does that at our gym, plus she comes to Spin wearing Tevas or Crocs. She chatters the whole time, and has even had her little snack during class. Her pedals barely move. She is my motivation...to NEVER look like I'm not working at my max. Every time I catch sight of her in the mirror, I work doubly hard.
Effort is relative, and my theory is that there is someone out there kicking *kitten* who thinks I'm Teva Lady. Unacceptable...0 -

Indeed having an opinion is entitled, but my post was directed to several different posts on this thread...and one that pisses me off is calling these girls names or whatever. There is something that clicks in someones head out of insecurity to make them even notice or care about these "gym princesses" in the first place...IMHO :flowerforyou:0 -
I usually quiz them with important questions like "does tea count as water"?0
-
I've never understood this. I sweat like a monster at the gym and that's the point isn't it? I don't apprieciate the looks I get from the gym rats but other than that I mind my own business. I want to know, honestly, why do some girls only wear sports bras in the gym??? If there's a good reason, please let me know!
Omg I always think this too - what's with just wearing a sports bra and no top?! Why why?! You can't be that warm you can't possibly cope with a top!!!!0 -

I support all HUMAN BEINGS
If you don't you live a shallow meager existence.0 -
I love how all the replies are directed towards me! if you have a problem with them, they agree...if you like them...then say so......
i'm being judgmental? please who isn't?0 -
I hear it burns extra calories if you judge people while working out. The venom speeds up your metabolism.
I think I love you.0 -
Just a side thought... that princess (aka. hoochie) may be extremely insecure about going to the gym... may be very new to exercise and trying to learn the ropes. Gym etiquette, fear of being looked at, etc. can be really overwhelming to newbies and it could be eye opening to... talk to one.0

Don't be so self centered.
They are directed at the posters here that have agreed with you and your hoochie-hating ways.0 -

^^^^^ agree Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves0 -

I support their right to be "hoochie" but that doesn't mean I have to embrace it.0 -
That was totally me when I had a gym membership and was pregnant. My feet were swollen so I only wore flip flops and either walked the treadmill slowly or hit the bike slowly.I saw a girl at my gym wearing skinny jeans and stilettos the other day!!! And there's another girl who gets on the treadmill and does like 2 mph in FLIP FLOPS. If they look at me like I'm crazy for sweating I don't notice..... probably 'cause I'm there to WORK! LOL!0 -

lol so it's ok if anyone's opinion after this thread is that you are severely self centered and thinks your *kitten* doesn't stink? By your posts...that is what even you believe! Excellent!0 -

Word. It is just my opinion. People have them.... if you disagree its fine by me.

That makes sense. And good for you for still working out when pregnant!

HA! It's not just me then! A BRA is NOT a shirt! It is underwear. What is the deal with that except attention? A tank top works just as well if its a keeping cool thing.0 -

No effin' way!
Man, I'll be sure to doubly judge next time I'm at the gym!0 -

I don't ask questions about it. Just damn glad that they do0 -

Thank you for posting this. I was ready to head desk but this made me laugh!0 -
Okay, I'm guilty of the make-up thing. 1) I'm not going to wash my face just to go workout 2) I don't go anywhere without make up on. LOL
Now, I don't wear earings, but I do make sure that my work out clothes is CUTE. I have to look cute because it keeps me motivated. I love wearing Nike, Reebok, Adidas, PINK... colorful & vibrant stuff. I'm a standout kind of gal.
What you described does sound annoying, but if that's what gives them the self esteem to get in the gym, good for them I guess. You can be cute and be hardcore, though. :happy:0 -
