Ask Rocco: Guys Are So Stupid Sometimes
Ever been drooled over by the self-absorbed, muscle-shirt, meat heads at the gym? One local woman has, and she asks Rocco how to make it stop. Rocco gives some good - and quite funny - advice, so you can actually get through a workout without an annoying cat call or cheap one-liner.
Question: I joined a gym in September. I guess I am pretty - blond,
thin and a C cup. But that is my problem, I just want to workout and I
not get treated like a piece of meat. Guys are constantly checking me
out on the treadmill and keep asking me out with one-liners (like I am
at a bar!). I signed a two-year contract at the gym and I can't get out
of it. Believe me, I tried. Any suggestions for how to get left alone
while working out? It is not fair. I almost dread going to the gym. I
have talked to girl friends of mine and they have had similar
experiences at their gym. Can you give a service announcement to the
guys that hit on girls at gyms letting them know that we are there to
workout?
Answer: There’s many ways to answer this question, but I will limit my
wrath to only two. First of all, you paid a membership fee to workout
and not be sexually harassed (by the way - that’s what it’s called,
guys, especially at the gym). If you are at a bar, there is an inferred
understanding that the girl may want to get picked up, so asking might
not hurt. At a gym or health club, it is tacky and can be criminal.
Of course, the friggin' idiot guys out there are going to say something
stupid like “Well, they shouldn’t dress like that at the gym.” And I
say, “You shouldn’t be that f**kin stupid." My advice is to write me
back with the gym name and number so I can deal with their sexual
harassment policies and when a guy comes up to you starring at your
breasts or asks you out in some tacky way... embarrass him. I say
embarrass the sh** out of him. Tell him something like “with an ass
like mine, I don’t talk to a face like yours."
If you can understand one thing about guys and their human nature, most
of them are too stupid for their own good. If they bother you, bother
them right back. When I owned gyms in the past, I used to take idiots
like you’re describing and haul them out back and beat them into a
bloody spot, but that’s me. Gentlemen, and I use them term loosely,
treat women with respect and maybe you won’t get your balls cut off.
