      this was an insult along the lines of "my wife can do better". do what my husband does and retort any "my wife" insult with a "banged your wife" response. shuts them up forever.

      next time you see him at the gym march straight up and go "your right! i showed those to your wife along with a few other things *wink* and she LOVED them!" then be prepared to duke it out . issue resolved.

      haha, it didn't derail me, i just pushed that much harder, but yeah, i don't hink he meant it in a negative way, i just took it that way:
      moving on........
      No. I don't think so. I think he was intentionally being a douche. I know douches, I'm married to one and he works with a bunch of them. This kind of sly insult is a normal part of douche behavior and is fun and hilarious. Get in the game.

      Why react to things we can't control? You can't control what he thinks... so let it go....

      He was totally asking you out. I mean, asking you to fight.

      Why are you wasting your energy getting irritated about the opinion of this person? I guess you have the "right" to be irritated, but why would you be? If you believe your workout is sufficient to meet your goals, why does his opinion count at all? Don't let other people control your emotions! Keep up the good work(out)!!!:smile:

      would bug me a little too, maybe he was just really insecure himeself though and was doing it to make himself feel better. I would just feel sorry for the poor guy. Don't let it get to ya. He had to be checking you out a little or he wouldn't have made any comments at all.

      How do you know that his wife is unhealthy. She may be very fit, Just because she sits at a desk all day does not mean shes a fat slob.

      Laugh at the fact that he probably has a small...you know.

      My personal reaction would have been that he recognized how much effort it took for this exercise. I work a desk job also, so I am always looking for ways to quickly make up for all the time I spend sitting. It is not that it is easy or that it is hard, (and quite honestly even people with desk jobs can be fit,) it is that it requires activity and I'm sure it burns a ton of calories in a shorter length of time. Maybe he was actually saying it in an off-hand way, intending or hoping for you to give pointers about the exercise so that he could encourage his wife to try it, but then again maybe he wasn't. You will never know his intent behind the comment; however, I wouldn't hold on to it for too long since it will only make you miserable. I will agree about the ettiquette thing though.

      While his wife might be very fit, approaching some guy minding his own business and telling him your wife could do what he's doing sounds like it's meant to be an insult.

      Absolutely! You'd be amazed at the things some guys can conclude are come-ons. :)

      Breathing, for example.

      He's in denial about his own sexual orientation and is hiding his attraction for you behind thinly veiled insults.

      Don't drop the soap.

      Yeah, he's definitely jealous.

      i don't mean to cast any aspersions on people who work in offices, it was his tone that made me think he meant it that way

      Hi
      NO - you have no right to be irritated. I bet a lot of other trivial things irritate you as well..
      Sorry , but I've met plenty of people who enjoy the drama of getting irritated and angry at any opportunity.

      I think you're taking it too personal. It was just a comment, let it go.

      Uh-oh, Ian says you don't have the right to be irritated. Are you going to just sit there and take that?
