But what do you do if you don’t like what somebody else picked for you, such as meat or produce?

Hmmm… I can’t see how that would help this particular situation, but okay.
The two people who bring it out know us well. I give them some cash for picking good stuff.

Confession. When I go to the gym, I don’t socialize at all. Am basically locked into my own little world, headphones on with whatever rage music strikes my fancy, etc.
What happens then, is you go to a place for years, and you sort of get to know certain regulars in a strange way, because you see them doing their thing several times a week…but basically never speak with them, and know absolutely nothing about them. You know what I am talking about. So what I do is I make up nicknames for them in my head, at least for the more interesting or noteworthy people. And if I am being completely honest, being an attractive female vastly increases the odds of you getting a nickname. Some of the names are pretty complimentary, others would get my slapped. For example:
Wonder Woman
Smokahontas
Lioness
Bad Motherfucker
Hot Dwarf
World’s Hottest Milf
Kate Beckinsale
Big Red
Superbeast
Random Blonde Girl (this is both one specific person, but also a term used for others who don’t have names yet). RBG for short.
…and so on. I must have a hundred of them. No judgement.

Me and my brother used to do the same thing lol.
Brother “was the gym busy last night? Who was in?”
Me “not too bad just…Stinky Pete, Charlie P (charles poliquin lookalike), Orgasm woman, Elbows and the Bing bong brothers”
So many more great ones, like Von Douch, Tricepatops, Captain sweat band.

I love it. I have a Smelly Boy at my gym, he and Stinky Pete would get along. Giant Douchebag is boyfriend to Kate Beckinsale. And don’t forget old favorites like Roid Boy, Ugly Hot Girl and Jailbait 2.0

Can’t stop laughing at this image, Hahahah
Go figure.
As of late none of these guys want to play with me. Still waiting on the guy in charge of the site with 500000 members to educated me. I’m really feeling unloved

Went to the gym for the first time in several weeks yesterday because it was a little too chilly to train at home. Normally it is pretty quiet. Yesterday there were a couple of ladies of in there gossiping about something, then one left and others just started showing up. At one point there were at least a dozen. One of these was the owner. All talking and looking at some papers and their phones.
I noticed between sets that there is yet another new TV hanging on the wall. They were trying to get some app to display on the new tv. None of them could figure out what to do without this app. It was sad.
The barbells at this gym are completely wore out 35lb bars. Why couldn’t they have bought new bars instead of a another TV? That makes five or six flat screens in a tiny gym. I started to ask the owner but thought better of it. Now I am thinking I am going to say something. If they would have spent half the time they were screwing with tv actually working out they would have been better off.

This brings back such good memories of the first gym I trained at.
These days I train alone and pretty much zone out and ignore most people, but back in the day me and the guy I always trained with definitely had a bunch of these.
Characters I remember best:
Goatie
Mr French
Ginger Giant
Baldy (before i trigger any of the follicularly challenged, he literally shaved every visible inch of his body. Year round)
Cannonball
Black cannonball

And the funny thing is that most of the time those guys asked for that criticism in the first place.
I have lots of flaws, but at least I am happy not to have that one.

Those that ask and get truly butt hurt were being dishonest and looking for compliments to begin with. Imo
