Mean women at the gym

Though it's hard to do, just ignore her. I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around. She'll get her due one day :bigsmile:

I'm not sure where to post this so. Yesterday at the gym these two girls were working out on the aerobic steps. one girl says to another while explaining a step "you can do it this way, or you can do it the p*ssy way like that" and then points at me. It took everything in my body not to walk over and deck her. How do I handle a situation like that?

She is a stupid cow, disregard both her comment and her entirely. Not worth your effort of wasting your energy over somebody like that.

However, it is all very well for an outsider, such as myself to say that, I was not the one on the receiving end of her comment. A derogatory comment was aimed at myself sometime last year, behind my back, unfortunately the female that said it, said it to another person with my husband standing there. To say I was fuming was putting it mildly, because like you, I wanted to deck her too.

People can do a lot of damage with their words, it is all very well for some people to say "but you let them get to you, brush it off", unfortunately, it's not always so easy to do.

There is nothing that I can say that would really help you with this, I found my situation difficult to deal with too to be honest, but I am sodded if I will let it affect me and my activities or looks in the future and I hope you don't either :flowerforyou:

Seriously, and trying not to offend in any way, but maybe you should look at your form when exercising, maybe it could be improved and you may even get better results (not knowing what you were doing and what she was doing, it's hard to say).

I'm glad someone else posted it first... my original thought was "Well, does your form suck?" If you've got the ability to self-evaluate critically and make improvements, then the *****y girl did you a favor.


But, see, most of the time on the MFP forums when you dare to question someone you get flamed for being unsupportive... so instead of endure that, I advocated violence ("SWEEP THE LEG, JOHNNY!"). My post, and several violence-advocating posts before it, got LOLs and smileys and crap.

The MFP forums are a strange and twisted place.
