Do I have a sign on me?....

That says Come up & chat me up ??? Geees what is it this past week?! 3 different guys at they gym have come up asking the usual obscure "hey So how long have you been working out ?" questions...

Now I've gotta say up front-- DO NOT go the gym dressed to impress... SO WTF??
I pull my hair back in a pony ... pretty much no make up.. ( ok where's DG.. I don't ever go out without mascara -never have, LOL...) but other than that NOTHING!! I dont' wear cute little outfits ... mostly my fave pilates type pants ( cause they stretch -specially now when it's TOM! Arrg! ) & a t-shirt with a zip hoodie if its cold. Now bear in mind noneof this is pink or any other color designed to attract attention.. infact it's all black or grey .. I know boring but hey ..

So what the heck is it that is making these guys come talk to me ?? Is it the wornout work out gloves... the glaring at myself in the mirror trying to get the last few reps out ??? I have no idea!!

I'm not hating it ... just feeling a little weird about it .. one guys even started helping me take off plates to keep talking to me ! & when I metioned kids ( rather pointedly by this time! ) he said -really you have kids?? Wow you're in really good shape then! Not sure how to take that at all! I'm thinking see some of my friends.. ( this especially means some of YOU guys !! you know who you are!!! )

Any who this whole thing is bizarre when I'm feeling like I'm a big YUCK ( did I metion the cold sore that's still not healed .. ick! ) I'm no where NEAR where I want be shapewise ..& it's TOM to boot!

Things that make you go HMMMMMMM-ya this is it Baby!!

just accept it! lol a little 'hey baby' action never hurt anyone...

heheh. Some days you've just 'got it'.

Heck even when I 'dress to impress' (no makeup though - no no no makeup at the gym lol) I don't have people coming up to me.

The most attention I get is some guy counting the plates as I pile them on and adding them up in his head before going to cry in the corner... hehehe

OMG I'm fiesty today!

Congrats on the compliments - I'm sure they are WELL deserved.

Maybe next time - offer to let them 'spot' you.

Shawn, LMAO I love the crying in the corner bit! It'd be great having you come up her to my gym - we've got a bunch of real "gym monkey's here It's be fun to see their faces! ;)

It's the thing that gets me through my workout each day...the tears. heheheh

OK, here's the scoop .....
First of all Pam, you have a wonderfully atheletic shape. Yeah, yeah, I know it's not even close to where you want to be, but for alot of guys, me included, there's a definite turn-on/attraction/whatever you want to call it .... when we see women with atheletic builds working hard in the gym. Add to that the fact , that facially, you are flat out gorgeous, with those piercing eyes and all .. and there ya have it !!
Just accept the innocent flirting and compliments already, and quite whining ... lol.

:)

lol! makes me happy I go to an all women's gym... they guys would be laughing at me grunting as I do my biceps w/ 8lb weights! Face it! Your hot mamma!

Janel said...

No matter how hard you try to disguise it, guys can smell "hottie" a mile away!! Its probably the scent of SEX they catch left over from Jamie coming home...LOL I agree with Jimmy, but now Im sad, nobody ever chats ME up at the gym!! :( Oh well. I'll live!

Pamela said...

BAHAHAHAHA!!! Janel!!! You're sooo Bad ! ;)
ok so that's it- we've peggged it ..it's just the damn pheremones of a very happy lady! ;) BAhahaha!!
& hey if I was a man I'd hit on ya!.. :)

Tracey said...

We have a man magnet in our midst. I thought scientifically you were supposed to be attracting the other sex when you're ovulating not pmsing. You must be one hottie biscotti!

Lori said...

Hey,I wear gloves and NO ONE talks to me there. What's up girl??? I think supergirl is right.

#1. It's the lashes. No doubt (shea right)
#2. If a man ever hit on me (dressed up, down, sideways) I might just start crying out of gratitude right there.
#3. You're gonna have to clue me in on this one since it NEVER happens to some of us (ie..me). This is a bad thing? This is something that you want NOT to happen? My whole view of life may be completely askew here.
The sky is still bue, right? Tell me I at elast still have that right! :)
