And when I read your reply to him, all I saw was a direct violation of the forums.Wait..I'm being a jerk because you don't know how to hit a quote button?? Seriously?? Ok..I'm beginning to see what the problem is.
Yes, actually, you are. Not everyone is 100% forum literate. Some of us learn as we go and make quoting mistakes. The way you handled the quoting mistake wasn't polite or genial, it was just jerky. Because you're a jerk.
I really don't see how he was being a jerk. He ASKED for clarification. Just because he didn't fill the page with smiley faces didn't mean he was being snarky or mean.
And no, I'm not defending him or any other guy here because I'm desperate. Just wanted to put it out there because I don't like to be "generalized".
That's the thing about the internet, you gotta be careful how you word things. Honestly when I first read his comment all I saw was a jerk poking fun at some kid who can't use quotes properly.

Just for the record, I still have not read anywhere that she made any attempt to discourage him outside of ignoring him AFTER they've been talking and have even hugged, which would obviously make any PERSON (guy or girl) wonder whats going on.
yes! And I am wondering why we're still talking about it! lol
Because pretty much every girl literally jumped the gun and told OP to report him. They pretty much asked an innocent guy (so far as per description) to be fired just because OP felt like he's a creeper when all she's done is ENCOURAGED him and not once told him to stop bothering her...0 -

No attempt to discourage him? Psh...She did that by making this thread, obviously!0 -

btw, her only thread since she joined a few days ago. I salute every one in this thread who automatically assumed that the guy was guilty and should be fired0 -
lol who just lets random dudes hug them anyway? If I was him I would think you're playing hard to get now
nvm I didn't read the thread and someone already mentioned this theory0 -
I know you are but what am I?
:P Careful. You just violated the rules too! OH NO! Now we're all going to jail.0 -
Kick him in the balls slap him in the face then call the cops for attempted rape lmao0

Eh, I didn't assume. I just told her she could either tell him to back off or report him. I don't know the situation..but it's the common sense choices.0 -

Yeah, I noticed that too. Professionalism says he shouldn't have invaded her personal space, but she did nothing to indicate it was unwelcome.0 -

Maybe we've all been trolled. If so, bravo. My jimmies have been rustled.0 -

I hug my trainer sometimes. Depending on the culture its not always unprofessional. It's not like the gym is a suit and tie kind of place.0 -

Pfft...what do you know about the forum guidelines?
Wait a second...YOU'RE LEAKRAMIREZ!!! OMG!! I read about you in the forums today. I think it's awesome how supporting and motivating and giving and awesome you are.
I sent you a FR. In fact, I've sent you a FR FIVE TIMES NOW. Maybe the MFP site is having a problem and you're not getting them. I'll send you another one just as soon as I post this. Please accept it.
Oh, sorry OP...didn't mean to hijack your thread here.0 -
lol who just lets random dudes hug them anyway? If I was him I would think you're playing hard to get now
Who said he was random?! I have a sales rep at my club who gives me hugs and flirts with me (even though he has a girlfriend). So what?! If I have a problem with it, I have to put my big girl pants on and SAY SO. OP and some of the people responding are seriously overreacting here.0 -
The real question is....
Who wants a hug? (friendly and welcome hugs only please)0 -
Most men are just pervs and the girls that defend them obviously just want male attention because their desperate. Just leave us women alone! We go to the gym for one reason: TO WORKOUT!
Rude and insulting - gross over generalization.0 -
I know you are but what am I?
:P Careful. You just violated the rules too! OH NO! Now we're all going to jail.
No, I was just quoting psychological studies that say people who call other people names are often referring to themselves and just projecting...especially on the internet because they can hid behind the comfort of anonymity.0 -

I asked for one earlier!0 -
Just playing the devils advocate here, but wouldn't saying someone is projecting themselves onto yourself be a projection of yourself projecting onto of others?I know you are but what am I?

She says he's just the gym manager and she explained it as if he was random because he just suddenly started to say hi to me.0 -

*big squishy prego lady hug for you*0 -
I'm a perv.. I perv on posture and form.
However I am usually far too concerened with my exhale than fixating my eyes on women's assets at the gym.
The thing with gym instructors for the 10% that are freaked out there are the remaining girls who find it stimulating.. Like the guy in uniform thing.. It's an unwritten rule that sti's outbreaks are localised around a gym

Hey, I'll creep on you, but then that would make you old and creepy since I'm only 33. lolI think I will join a gym just to get hit on... Since I'm pushing 40 and all :huh:0 -
Kick him in the balls slap him in the face then call the cops for attempted rape lmao
Hahaha, violent overreaction and false criminal charges are hilarious to all my frat buddies too!0 -
I think the question is why are you scared to actually do something? You are going there by choice. I'd quit. I'd say get away from me I'm not comfortable hugging you I'm just coming here to work out. He's taking advantage of you because he thinks it okay. Unfortunatly men don't know something is wrong if you don't tell them.0

I think you should reconsider complaining that the guys in the gym are looking at you. As you get older, you'll appreciate it! I love it when the guys watch me lift.. sometimes they're watching because I'm showing them up!
Looking is fine. Being a hands on creep is not fine. The OP let things go on too long...but this creep is over the line. She needs to loudly shut him down, and if he persists report him.0 -

You. I like you.0 -

Don't you just HATE it when people at a business say "hi" to you. It really grinds my gears0 -
