On the other hand, when I was a teenager, I used to have a neighbor who did put on all her make-up and mow her lawn in a bikini. She was 22 and I don't know if she was trying to tan or looking for a boyfriend .
Umm... how many years ago was this and where did you live? Because my mother (yet again) used to do the lawn in her bikini when she was newly married and she got her tan that way, lol. I kid you not! (And I'm apparently her clone... so watch out, I may be next!)
Oh, Ginger, he was creepy! There are several guys at the gym that I nod to or acknowledge because we are always there together, so we "know" each other, but we are all focused on our workouts, so no chit chat or anything normally. I've never seen anything going on at my gym like this with anyone! This guy, though, I had never seen before. I'm working out WITH my ipod and he just completely interrupts my workout like we are in a bar or something!
Him: I came over to meet you. I'm Frank.
Me: What? (I have ipod on and think I'm in his way or he has a question or something). Fumble with the ipod and he says it again.
Me: Uh, ok, I'm Jane
Him: Do you come here often?
Me: Umm...yeah
Him: That's good. What do you do?
Me: For my workout?
Him: No, your job
Me: I'm in IT
Him: Oh, I'm a lawyer
Me: mmmmm.....as I try to get back into my workout
Him: So, do you come here at this same time all the time?
Me: It varies.....look, I really need to get back to my workout.
Him: OK, Jane, I'll catch up with you next time
I look over his shoulder, and my guy acquaintances are over there rolliing their eyes and laughing at me. I'm sure it was obvious how uncomfortable I was!
Oh, and he was about 5'5" (not that there's anything wrong with that ) and way older than me. He was just very creepy and caught me totally off guard. If I'd been thinking on my feet, I would have said 'I work at my husband's business' or something like that. Ew, I hope I don't see him again.

Yuck. I hate when people talk to me while I'm trying to work out. Especially when you have your headphones one right? Some people are totally clueless. Too bad he wasn't hot though.

Sadly, the fact that you didn't tell him to buzz off is probably a bad sign. Mentally he's probably adding you to the possible column.
I find that the short, not so attractive guys, try this kind of stuff more. I think they figure they have to make their own chances. That and he could have a bit of a Napolean complex and think he's a little more suave and awesome than he is
I get weird ones at the gym too. Next time, slip in the husband thing - you know, if you have to go through this again! Otherwise I think Anne is right - and you don't want to be a possible for this guy!

Well, I was 17, so it was 1992. Doubtful that it was your mom. LOL on you being next.

Sorry about the weirdo , but ITA with Anne that he'll probably be back because you were too nice. Looks like you got a good workout anyway.

Ew weird guys. I've got a couple like that at my gym also. But they're WAY older (like my dad's age) so I doubt they're hitting on me, just looking for conversation. (Which I don't give much of either)

Problem is, that seems to be my "target" audience - I almost always get those weird inappropriate comments from senior men -- like it's ok to be totally obscene because they're old and no one will call them on it?
I dunno about the lawyer Jane - was he at least rich? (KIDDING!!!)

You would think he could come up with a better line than "do you come here often"? You should have said, "look at me. of course I come here often".... And it is even creepier that he was trying to use his lawyer status to entice you. LOL Thanks for sharing that.
I have been told that I just look mean and I am assuming that is what keeps the creepsters at bay. I don't realize I have this look on my face, but it seems to work - so I'll just keep it up.

Me too!!! I guess I wasn't dialed in to my normal 'get back' look yesterday, or else he just ignored it!
Oh my! Sorry about the creepy gym guy! That happens to me sometimes, but usually people don't bother talking to me much... I get my b*tch look on my face and just do my thing and some people will look, but they usually don't try to talk me up, thank goodness. I can't believe the "do you come here often... same time?" line... ridiculous! Hopefully you won't run into him again.
Hey it could be worse, my older sister got felt at the vineyard she works at by a 76 year old lesbian (of course my other sister, my SIL and I sat there and giggled at her for getting to second base with a gal while she told this story - T was totally flabbergasted by this event cuz she's the niave one of us) .

Oh, and I've been meaning to come in here and just say that I am another who pretty much has some kind of makeup on at all times (minus bedtime). If it isn't the full meal deal, it is at least eyeliner, mascara and some sort of lip gloss. So, I have also been seen mowing the lawn with makeup on.

Had a nice day off of work today! Yeah! Got some new tires from the Prez with my tax rebate and went to Walmart to have them put on today and I saw the BEST MULLET EVAH! I wanted to take a pic with my cell phone so bad;y of this lady so I could share, but I was afraid of getting caught. It was just like the mullet lady they made over on What Not to Wear....anyone remember her?? I couldn't stop staring. That Walmart sure attracts some strange people. I could go on....oh boy.
And, no creepo guy at the gym today...big sigh of relief.
mmm and there are some delicious ones. florida seems to attract them. I really want to go to the arnold with you guys--I am considering it. it would be fun!!!
