    And then told me he takes sh*ts cuter then me.

    Honestly, what the heck is wrong with people? I get these kind of put downs once in a while from men I'd never even spit at, much less talk to. I truly think they're just hateful awful people.

    It was said to me personally but a cousin of mine posted on facebook here is to hoping the gym isn't filled with people and their "new years resolutions"

    complaining about resolutioners is a sign you have crossed over into the world of the fitness minded. It's also a sign you go to the gym regularly and notice the flux of people as the year moves on.

    and to be completely off-topic, @_John_ 's profile pic: he LLAP'ed, but very sad. He had quit smoking 30 years prior, but it was still COPD that got him i guess. :cry:

    At the end of a yoga class - a woman who wanted my spot for the NEXT yoga class said - "move your "s*&t" I want that spot"

    "Namaste, Beeyotch."

    Wow.

    Personally, I once had a man tell me that I shouldn't deadlift because it would "mess up my uterus" and make it harder for me to have children. Needless to say, I kept my headphones in from then on.

    That dude needs to be kicked sqaure in the jimmy. Women lifting is awesome and should be encouraged.

    I have had a lot of comments about a tattoo on my shoulder- most of them positive. One older gentleman said that once I was "80 and droopy" that I would wish I would not have got the tattoo. *shrug* different strokes for different folks.

    I would have said "Well lucky for you, you probably won't be around to see it, right?"

    This thread makes me love my gym. Other than battling over the one squat rack, everyone is very nice and respectful.

    I did overhear a conversation a couple years ago where an older man was saying how women picking up too much heavy stuff could cause their uterus to fall out, but mostly I just laughed. That is some seriously old school thinking.

    I've gotten "that's a shame; When you lose that fat, your tits wont be as nice"
    Well. Gooood morning to you too.
    I've also gotten the "can you not go on the treadmill, your jiggly bits are distracting"

    Not at the gym but...I have a postcard with Dana Linn Bailey's picture on it from a Flag Nor Fail order on my bulletin board at work. Someone from another department was in my office and noticed it. He's like "That's not you is it?" I laughed and mentioned that I would love to look like that, but it takes a lot more time than I'm able to dedicate. Naturally, he went off about how gross she looks and why would a woman ever want to look like that.

    I don't allow people to say things to me in public. I will hurt them if they try.

    No one has ever said anything negative to me, but I think that might be because my boyfriend and I go and train together and he would ruin anyone that comes near me. With the exception of some creepy stares or creep dudes following me around on the machines when he isn't looking, my gym experience is fairly normal, which is pretty shocking to me actually.
