"I'm not sure if you heard me counting. . . I did more than a thousand. . . "

For many- the ultimate in guy-related sleaze is to hit on, or pursue a girl who is too intoxicated to think for herself. She is vulnerable, not in her correct state of mind, merely a shell of who she may actually be- often times, completely unable to defend herself.

Generally, common offenders are guys with no morals, a complete disregard to spoken, and unspoken social rules, and for the most part- absolutely no game.

I am not questioning that this is in fact the sleaziest thing a guy can do, but rather to offer up a similar situation, almost as sleazy, and completely underrated.

We have all seen him, at the gym for hours at a time- most of which is spent admiring himself in the mirror of the free-weight room. Ipod strapped around the bicep, sleeveless shirt- a little notebook in hand. . .

Okay, so that's most guys at the gym, so I will narrow it down a bit. He is also the guy that finds it necessary to hit on every girl trying to workout. These poor girls have to deal with the aggravation of some muscle-bound chud trying to talk to them as they kill themselves on an elliptical machine.

These girls, much like those intoxicated at a bar or party, are often times trapped, cant defend themselves from an onslaught of guys with no game, and even less of a clue to match. Anyone that has ever worked out understands that it can be so exhausting that telling some moron to leave you alone might just not be an option, just as anyone that has had too much to drink can empathize with the fact that what you might be able to identify as a bad idea, doesn't mean you can actually do anything about it.

So for all of you girls trying to get your exercise out there, this is for you. Guys, the ladies are not there for the gun show, couldn't care less that you can lift a truck over your head, and aren't talking to you out of interest, you've simply strategically trapped them on whatever machine they may be using. So for their sakes, and yours, leave them alone.



Rule # 82 - Don't, under any circumstance, ever attempt to hit on a girl at the gym.

this is a very subtle truth.

Scary that I may actually experience this in the near future.
