What do we think about some guys in the gym?

I ain't no fucken feminist. Not my problem if some chicks are stupid enough to get sucked into cooking and cleaning for a man. Thats just weak.

Oooh that's harsh. What is it with younger women and the whole anti-feminist thing? Nothing wrong with feminists - you wouldn't have the choices you have now if they hadn't stood up for your rights. You would be stuck at home cooking and cleaning and you'd have no say in the matter.

As for doing the cooking - I do most of it in my house, but not 'for a man' that's for sure - but because I'm a control freak who likes to know what I'm eating :nod: Oh, and I actually enjoy cooking - making food - what's not to like?

Not so much the cleaning though. He does more of that than me :pfft: I don't have a houseproud bone in my body :oops:

Im not anti feminist as such. But I'm pretty sure feminists back in the day where advocating for a womens right to CHOOSE. Like with everything. Whereas feminists today are so extreme they are telling women what they should and shouldn't do!!! Like you can't wear short shorts or a push up bra or makeup coz your "conforming to a mans idea of what looks good". Ain't no one guna tell me what to do not a man or a woman :grin:

Oh it's definitely about the right to choose. Like all kinds of extremists, there are some who go over the top and don't stick to the essential point. It's a bit like extremist religious types - they're not representative of the majority but are a very loud minority. But it's unfair to make anti feminist statements if it's just that minority you're talking about - or just plain sexist from guys.

Personally I'd consider myself a feminist and don't really care what anyone else thinks of that. I'm extremely grateful for the choices I've been given that even people a generation ahead of me didn't have, like the fact that I've been able to make my own decision about not having kids and not have to suffer through the kind of pressure that generations ahead of me had on that matter. Having kids was 'what you do' back then, whereas now it's a lifestyle choice, and one that I'm extremely glad I can make for myself.

Any guy who wants to tell me my 'place' is clearly sexist and I don't have time for that kind of guy and won't waste my energy even giving them my time, and any woman who thinks she can tell me what I should be doing is also not worthy of my time. Both are extremist and on the redneck side.

I'm not telling you what you should think of feminists by the way - just pointing out that the ones you mention are not representative of genuine feminism, which is all about being treated equally (within reason - we all know there are biological matters that make complete equality impossible!).

Like how women have brain size of squirrel? kazak scientists have proved this :grin:

But thats the thing its not a minority. The feminist idealogy has expanded and there are so many different movements that it encompasses. I don't identify myself as a feminist because of that reason. I am all for womens rights though and the first-movement feminists or whatever they were called.

But I agree with you CC I just don't use that word. Too many negative connotations.

[Jigga]

quality post. can you please explain to me what an idealogy is? i couldn't find it in the dictionary...

[Peachy]

f*ck off Jigga. I have yet to see a quality post from you or any of the other accounts you were. Stop following me around the forum your obsessed with me. And if you wana talk physics I'd be happy to. Straight up. I thought you were at uni studying it?? Surely if you are then youd know that energy expenditure is equal to work done. And work is equal to Force times distance and force is equal to mass times acceleration therefore Work is equal to Mass times acceleration times distance. If you increase the mass then you will increase work done and therefore energy expenditure but if you have excess energy you have no affect on the work formula whatsoever. So if you have cartinine which makes sure there is fat to be used as energy you still have not affected the work formula and therefore energy used. All you have simply done is made sure its available when the body does need it. Which the body does anyways

Word of the day:

IDEALOGY

[Jigga]

damn i missed out on the lesson. now i'll never know :cry:

clearly just a typo from peachy come on lads :naughty: :grin:

peachy the boys just winding you up and farrrrrk are you taking the bait like a fish ready to spawn lol :grin:

I have however learnt you are less than perfect after all as you dont want to wait at home for me naked in the kitchen cooking my dinner when I come home from a long hard day at work :naughty: :grin: :grin: :grin:

[tinytraps]

:grin: hook line and sinker. Hope you lovely ladies realized it was just a bit of fun and if not well you really do need to get out of the kitchen

Big ups to the hot intelligent women 8)

[WRXER]

+1 to the above, Im a shocker I must admit. However as mentioned before when you have women wearing shortest shorts ever, and a very skimpy top it is very very hard not to look. :wink: Even my trainer is a women and admits if you wear as little as that your asking to get most guys attention.

Douches:

- The big guys that have poor form, and like to lecture you how you are doing it incorrectly.

- Poor Form, yet still increase the weights when they can't even do it properly at the current weight.

- The jealous Bf that trys to act cool if ur training next to their partner.

- Guys that drop there pants so they can look at their leg muscles in the mirror, great when you are doing weights and they are standing right in front of you. Not a view I enjoyed.

- Dropping weights hard when it's not needed, understand if ur doing large weights and pushing yourself to the absolute limit. But every set/weight isn't needed especailly when they are lighter weights then Im doing and Im not that built.

- Young guys trying to show off to some girl that is playing it up... Tends to be around the 16-19yr old range I find.

- Incorrect bench-press yet high five their mates afterwards even though they got nowhere near their chest.

- Playing hacki-sack in the gym

- Wearing sun-glasses in the gym, and only putting them on when ur doing ur weights. Then take them off at every rest point.

- The guys that take up machines for hours on end, especially groups of 3-4 guys which spend more time talking about how awesome their weights are.

- Same as above, then swing their arms in half assed stretches huffing and puffing the whole time.

- Huffing/Yelling/Grunting unnecessarily, again no major if u are pushing urself to ur limits. As I do it myself, only way I can get the weight up. But really not needed every single time haha

Douchettes

- If your wearing little, your going to get attention. Don't complain.

- If I chat Im just being nice, it's a good place to meet new faces. Im not there to pick you up, I have a partner. So drop the icyness.

- Young girls who try to play up other guys, by using comments out loud like "Like OMG your sooo strong".

Damn just realised generally it's more male dominated thing haha, what a list. I even make sure I get to the gym before 2pm nowadays, as both groups of the biggest douches get in after 2pm and I think they have mini who can be the best douche competition. Drives me crazy when Im trying to focus on training.

Haha, these are a coupla new ones to me. Good times.

Lol at all you guys talking it up like you got your mrs trained :roll: . Bet yous fullas are all pussywhipped and can only say that shit on the internet where you know she won't find out and hold out on you for a week. Meanwhile you mrs probably let herself go coz she needs chocolate to satisfy her coz you aint able to.

oh snap! this was lol, women so nasty when they get angry :twisted:

[becbec]

There's this reasonably big guy at my gym. He's got a huge upper body but quite small legs, and I think a brain injury from rumour has it a car accident. Aaaanyway, he plays on his impairment really hard to get the ladies and make some of the funniest facial expressions and noises I have seen / heard in my life!
