Meat Market

So I took a second job at one of the major Fitness Clubs in town. Yes, I should have seen it coming from a mile away, but UGH these men! I expected that I would make the acquaintance of some regular members because I would see them every day, and I did. It's also normal to have friendly conversations them about how life is going. BUT UGH (again!) the more open they are with their comments the more revoltng they are! esp. about women and other people who they think are unattractive. I'm not beyond trash-talking the people who are less-than nice or oh-so-power-tripping, but the people they insult are people they don't even know.

How naive it was to think that a gym could be a place free of thinking and compassion beyond the way people look or dress. DUH... 70% of the people that go there want to look bigger, smaller, more this or less that. 20% go there for that same reason but say it's to stay healthy (that's where I fit). and the last 10% are truly there to keep up their health or have fun on the courts.

Maybe it would help if I joined them in admiring the beautiful people.

NAH.
