    I have some new "best advice" to post on that other "best advice" thread:


    "Before getting all defensive on page 18 of a MFP forum post, read (or at least skim through) the preceding 17 pages."

    Sooo I went to the gym the other day. I did about 15 minutes of cardio and I started sweating. Only mirror is in the weight section (ewwe) That section is for meat heads and manly women. Freaking scared of getting their nasty sweat on my lululemons. Umm hello who wears baggy sweats and t shirts to the gym? Where are your WORKOUT clothes. I HATE going over there but I needed the mirror. I was trying to fix my makeup in the mirror and some mammouth behind me kept giving me a dirty look. Its a frickin mirror lady. You don't need to watch yourself in the mirror. I NEED TO FIX MY FRICKIN MAKEUP LADY. I dunno why in the world she would want to lift in the first place. Girls do cardio, guys lift weight. Anyone else think this was way rude of her!

    uhhhhh im a girl & I thoroughly enjoy lifting weights,and why are you worrying about your makeup? your at the gym,its not a fashion show...im not trying to be mean,but atleast go to the bathroom to do that..she was probably mean muggin' you,cause its known to be catty for women to worry about how they look at the gym..youre there to sweat! who cares what you look like...give it your best while your there & quit worrying about what doesn't matter at that time :/

    Barbie & Ken would make a good match. They are both clueless.

    no my dear,YOU are clueless...women lift weights too...doesn't mean their gonna look like the Hulk..LOL..seriously..u just made yourself sound like a complete airhead & quit defending everyones reply,ur making it worse for yourself,just stop already..geeze..ugh..get some gym & exercise knowledge before making a post like this..HAHA..and u called ME clueless..:laugh:

    Hits keep coming.

    ummm....she's calling YOU clueless because when this thread was new, about 3 pages in she admitted it was a joke, and her profile pic was of her muscled arm (the chick LIFTS!). Its the 'chit-chat, fun & games" section of the forums, and the whole thing is a joke... This is what happens when people read the first post, then jump to reply without at least skimming through....

    You are so right. I mean I know NOTHING, I mean NOTHING of lifting weights.

  • Ok, I don't want to get into the fight, honestly I'm like Switzerland over here, but I do have a serious question Sunshine. I'm sure it was a joke, but then why was your reply so defensive? I mean right from your first reply "well apparently you don't if...". If I had been joking, I would have simply said something like "it was all a joke, if you have time read back a few pages", I certainly wouldn't get defensive, especially to someone who is actually defending you and your workout style (if that's the case, as you say). Just kind of makes me think there may be more going on here than meets the eye. And I truly think the "cuz" was sarcasm. Now, I'm an english major and rhetoric is kind of my thing, so maybe I'm reading more into that, but this is my take. Again, not looking for a fight, just curious!

    odd first comment

    You are clearly reading wayyy too much into it but thats ok. I appreciate you.

    Shhhh! Stop giving away fishes for free...let them figure out how to fish for themselves.

    Wait...that saying isn't exactly relevant...

    What I'm trying to say is, don't give away the big reveal so early...this had at least a half dozen more back-and-forths of awesomeness in it.

    *sigh*

    Well now I'm just confused.
    I was only questioning the possible use of sarcasm, I'm still really wondering about the defensiveness. That's all.
    I think one of the other guys was right, maybe time for this one to end. Mega bad karma brewing here.......

    I don't think you need to apologize, who seriously reads 17 pages of thread? If people are going to post jokes then they need to be prepared for whatever response they illicit. The way they handle those responses reflect their character. AND, I'm always amazed at how the gang mentality kicks in too, people jumping on board and calling you clueless. I just don't understand that....

    if you lift weights, then how do you talk on the phone and drink your half caf mochachino while fixing your hair? I mean, come on, where are the priorities in life?

    It is actually very nice to to see females get so definsive about lifting. The thread was created to mock people who think that lifting isn't for females. I got ganged up on just like I hoped but I also egged them on. I was bored :: Shrugs::

    I lurve you for not lifting, wearing makeup, and calling rude people out in the gym. Someone had to do it.

    You say that like it is a bad thing?
