Oh, I have no idea. Lots of the same faces, and most of the trainers there are dipwitty. But, I tend to keep to myself. There was a photoshoot there the other week. It look all professional and everything. They were in the new and improved “Functional Area”.

HAAAA!!! They made up a functional area!!! What a crock.

That place makes me feel bitter and nostalgic at the same time…

Well said batman!
Me and this guy from the gym half smiled at one another today. He was wearing a rolling stones t-shirt so maybe he saw me wear my rolling stones t-shirt before.
Yeah, we’ll probably be getting married and whatnot…
ALSO
My friend and I, plus her fiance and his friend, are going to go on a double date, so that is exciting/stressful.
Should I think up interesting factoids to woo him? Or should I just let him talk and nod with extreme interest?
[/quote]
Shouldn’t you figure out whether you like him first? I guess if your just after some dick, do whatever. But as a matter of self respect and dignity, just be yourself and don’t play games?
Look, dick is in no short supply, you can go to your local nightclub, stay a late, get a little drunk, and you will be on your back before you know it. Just be sure what you want, every action has a reaction, so be careful.[/quote]
I don’t know how to play games even if I wanted to, Lol. I just wanted to make a good first impression, that’s all. [/quote]
Well, it depends on the dude, but I would say that in most social, date-type settings a good default is to try to find out what the other person is interested in/passionate about and gently get them talking about it. Don’t just nod with extreme interest, actually BE interested, but not in an exaggerated or extreme way. Ask considered questions, clarify and paraphrase stuff back. Let him brag a little if it’s appropriate. Let him relate his best anecdotes. Look for common ground. Genuinely try to learn something about whatever it is that lights this person up.
Do it in a casual, friendly manner, not rapid-fire interrogation style. The best way to make a good impression on somebody else is often to allow them to feel good about themselves in your presence as opposed to by trying to “impress” them at all. This has the added benefit of taking the spotlight off of you if you are feeling nervous or self-conscious. This is pretty basic “how to win friends and influence people” type of stuff, and you may find it “gamey”, but it works if you are sincere with it.
If there is literally nothing about this person that you can remain genuinely interested in for an evening, I would hazard that you may not want a second date anyway.

They blocked off that area by the field house where the inflatable kids play thing was this summer. Threw in a couple small tires, a couple rowing maching, some type of ladder cardio machine…and that’s about it, no TRX. Kettlebells are still chained up. At least the sled is still there. Yeah, fucking weak.

That means I’m going to address the situation after she’s had a few glasses of wine. The Mrs. isn’t exactly the most rational conversationalist.
Maybe I am a little scared, we need to come to some sort of agreement and I don’t want to blow everything that we have over something so trivial.

Fine, you can blow me too.
What I would like to know though is how I could have done that in a “tactful” manner and if you concede that it would not have been possible, why do you prefer form over substance you fucking woman?
Unless you are, indeed, a woman, then its all good. [/quote]
Not sure if you we’re talking to me or not, but anyhow, I don’t give a shit about any of that. I wasn’t thinking about “form over substance” lol; more about loyalty. If someone was being an asshole to one of my friends in real life, I would lash out at them; it’s really pretty irrelevant to me what their point was. So it was as simple as that. I’m not interested in figuring out the best way for you to make your point for you; I’m just going to bitch at you if I think you’re being insulting to someone I have a perceived internet loyalty towards. You probably don’t really care.[/quote]
You lash out at people for trying to help your friends?[/quote]
I think he lashes out at anyone who tries to improve women. [/quote]
Lol. A misogynist, a women basher ‘‘trying to improve women.’’ LMFAO!
What a fucking joke.
[/quote]
So if a woman did something similar (offered advice sans tact), she should be labelled a man hater, right?
Here’s a tip: if a person is generally blunt, he’s probably not being a misogynist.

Goddammit, I think you just got proven right. I used to work out quite regularly at the same gym those other crazy Albertans are talking about, so chances are we’ve seen each other at some point without even realizing it. Still go there once in a blue moon when my school gym is closed.

Please spare me with the fucking double standard argument bullshit. Had it been a woman posting the crap that Orion did, I would have still had an issue with it, especially if it had come from a woman who has a pretty much distorted, skewed view of other women in general, as Orion has. Obviously you haven’t read some of his posts in other women vs men kinda threads. So you have no idea what you’re talking about.
A misogynist with good intentions? Hard to believe.
I don’t mind Orion with his views. They are his and I respect them. However, my problem with his first post was that it was totally random and full of judgemental crap against someone who didn’t deserve it. I’d assumed, he had a pretty much idea of who Spock truly is.
