Indecency in the gym
So this morning at around 5:30am I head to the gym for strength training and a little cardio. Laying on the weight bench I look to my left and see an attractive man, most likely in his mid-forties, doing some squats. As he is lowering into the squat I notice that a huge fluff of his short and curlies are creeping out of his shorts......eeeeeewwwwwww! I was really at a loss as to what to say to him (for those of you that know me, you realize this was a struggle). So, I composed the following letter to get this off my chest. Please note that he will not actually receive this letter, this is for therapeutic reasons
Dear Innappropriate -
I realize that we are utter strangers but I felt the need to write this letter because we share space and equipment three to four days a week and I would like it to be a pleasent experience for both of us. Let me get right to the point as beating around the bush is absolutely pointless (excuse the pun).
During your workout this morning a large portion of your man-fur was peeking out of the top of your shorts. As I did not see any evidence of plumbers crack on the back end, I can only assume that it has been a while (if ever) since you have manscaped. If you are unaware of this phenomenon, let me explain. This is the regular maintenance (trimming and such) of your special area. I realize this is not really my business as I am not your life partner or the woman assigned to searching your rainforrest for "special fruits", but we do share gym equipment. To be quite frank, it is quite creepy (and distracting) to have your man-mane in my line of vision whilst trying to lift heavy objects. I am here to help! Below are my suggestions -
1. Buy a smaller sized gym short so they do not sag and therefore make your special tresses more visible.
2. Put on some UNDERWEAR if you are not going to manscape.
3. I notice that you shave your face. This is the same tool that you would use to trim above mentioned hair, although with your length I would suggest scissors first.
4. If you need contact information for someone that waxes, let me know. My girl does a great job. She is reasonable, sweet and does not judge.
PLease know that this is not meant to embarrass. These are simply suggestions to help make our encounters at the gym more sanitary and less awkward. So please, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY please take care of this before it becomes a real problem.
Sincerely,
The brunette that almost dropped 40lbs on her chest out of sheer astonishment.

I feel your pain...I witness the same thing when older men choose to wear leggings and a shirt that doesn't cover their sagging n*ts. I've also been tortured by bad hygeine creeping out from the bottom of a dude's shorts who spotted me on the bench....never again!0

So you caught a glance of something while the guy was in a mid exercise position that he probably held for less than a few seconds...Poor you.0 -

Goofball.
This reminds me of an older man who used to go to my power yoga class (even though he really should have been attending a little less advanced class; my instructor was scared all of the time he was going to break an arm or hip) and aparently wore no draweres under his tiny shorts. I typically was in front of him, but my yoga instructor got to see his goods on a regular basis. I mean really....they have to know they're doing it. Maybe it's a turn on for them knowing they're sporting their goods. Ew.0 -

That's hilarious I must say but if you feel the need so you don't hurt YOURSELF, saying something will get it off your chest...0

I'm so glad I am not overly hairy. I know some women dig it, but it seems to really creep most women out.
ETA: And I've been known to manscape, usually during the Summer months.0 -

It's just hair, he wasn't waving his penis at you!

He was working out, it's not like he was shoving it in your face.0 -

Your letter is classic. I had a hard time not laughing out loud at work. I have never experienced this but I now know all the names I can use to tell someone about it.
Thanks0
