Mean women at the gym

haha well I have to admit in the past I would probably beat the crap out of her, but I have found Jesus and therefore must discourage that behavior Reality is that women who make comments like that or are mean and hurtful have their own issues. They aren't truly happy and they are in fact jealous of women like you are are bettering themselves. My suggestion...smile, laugh and remember, YOU ARE TRULY HAPPY, THEY ARE NOT. I would even say a prayer for them and ALWAYS remember, God's got your back!

I am oblivious to stuff like that because i usually have my headphones in and my music WAY too loud.....however, if I heard that I would probably make a shirt that says "I climb stairs like a p*ssy" and keep it in reserve until I saw her again. I might be a little passive-aggresive...........

There are always people who will putt others down in order to make themselves feel better. I have no problem with confrontation so I would most likely call them on it and watch them squirm.

Wow, i probably would have told them to go f themselves lol......but don't let it bother you because people that do that sort of thing aren't worth your time and if she has to talk about other people to make herself feel better, she probably doesn't have a high self-esteem anyway.

When someone says something mean to me I get this smile on my face. It must be a creepy looking mean smile because usually the conversation stops and they go away. Probably more than one person has walked away thinking I'm a psychopath. :laugh: Some will call me on it. "What are YOU smiling about?" Or something similar. And then I tell them the truth. I'm smiling because you came in here and started *kitten* with me, when you do even know anything about me. How horrible you must feel about yourself that you have to put down complete strangers in order to feel good about yourself. If you need to be a b!tch to feel good you can go right ahead. Your opinon doesn't mean anything.

And then I go back to doing what I was doing and pay no attention to them. I got picked on a lot in the school days. I learned that the people who matter are friends and family mostly. It's really a short list when you think about all the people in the world. I'm the only person that has the power to make me happy or miserable and absolutely REFUSE to allow people who don't matter have any effect on how I feel about myself. It doesn't matter how old people get they can still be bullies. I'm usually a very nice easy going person but bullies just make my blood boil and I want to make them feel small. :devil:

It sounds to me like she is a bully and I'm sure she has made hurtful remarks to lots of people.
I work with a bully and I spend a lot of time praying for her!!
People like that are really sad and hurting...too bad they try to inflict their pain on others!
You did the right thing, even though it was hard!!! :happy:

Harsh! What a terrible human being. I think it's great you didn't say anything that takes a lot of self control! People like that simply ain't worth it! :flowerforyou:

"But doing it that way (point to the other girl) obviously makes you a raging b*tch."

^ This! Totally this!!!!

GUTTER STOMP - American History X style.....

This! Ahaha<3

Sweep the leg! SWEEP THE LEG, JOHNNY!

Wear ear buds, listen to loud music, and ignore everyone else. Who cares what anyone else says or thinks! You are at the gym working out which is still more than what most people are doing!

This would be the best suggestion!?! But on the defensive, I know that I've said somethings kinda like that to my sister when her and I go to the gym to get her motivated. However, I don't point to someone and say that, I say "Come on, you've got to do it better then that and push yourself otherwise you aren't doing anything for yourself." But like this person said, just put your head phones on and go at it. I get comments but they are opposite of that. I do squats with 480lbs and leg press with the same amount and I get women coming behind me to the machines and saying, "God, what woman would do that?? That is so manly to be using that much weight." I just shrug it off cause I know my body and I know what it requires to get a work out done.

Well I am known to have a HUGE mouth....I would of just said maybe next time you should be careful who you talk to...because when I am done with you only one person would be called the P**sy!

But if she keeps it up a couple more times I would let someone know as they have a strict policy at gyms for stuff like that.

What the ****?

Well, I am glad you took the high road. Clearly that girl has some insecurities herself, is unhappy with her own life, and needs to be tough because she herself is fearful that people will make fun of her.

Don't let it get to you...continue to work your @$$ off and show that B1tch that her words don't bother you. Block out the noise and stay positive!

"But doing it that way (point to the other girl) obviously makes you a raging b*tch."

That response is FUNNY. If you could be that quick witted, and say it with a laugh - perfect.
Maybe even better that you stayed on her tail the whole time without knowing what you were thinking. Good job on the workout!

Love it!! This is totally what I would do too! )
