shift-at-the-gym

The gym is a surprisingly good place to get the shift….

One of the perks of being in University is that you may get a discounted or even free membership to the College’s gym. As we all know regular exercise is vital to good health and to looking good for all the hot new guys/girls you will meet in College.  In theory having a gym to go to on campus is a great idea especially as most students will either live on campus or nearby.

So basically it’s all win-win situation, right?

Wrong.

I don’t know about you, but whenever I go to the gym I’m not exactly looking my best. I tend to wear baggy clothes, no make-up and hair scrapped up on top of my head in a most unflattering manner. This is before I start exercising and become a big red-faced sweaty mess. So this would not exactly be the ideal time to bump into that hot guy from your law lecture.  But naturally this is exactly when you bump into him.

So what do you do?

Honestly, there is not much you can do except pretend not to notice them or say hi quickly and move on because, let’s face it no-one really wants to have a conversation on the treadmill. However, there is one other option that requires a lot of confidence to pull off. You walk up say hi and start a conversation pretending not to care/notice that there is beads of sweat falling down your face the size of golf balls or that your face resembles a tomato.

The way I see it is that the next time they see you; you are bound to look a million times better by comparison. Also being seen working up a sweat in the gym is better than being spotted scoffing down an extra large Big Mac meal in McDonalds. They’ll think “You know what at least she is making an effort”.

From personal experience I can tell you that just because you run into the guy/girl you fancy in the gym doesn’t mean all is lost. I once ran into a guy I liked in the gym when I was a bit of a Sweaty Betty. So I decided to go up and talk to him, two days later I met him out on the town and you know what? I got the shift!

So being seen all sweaty could be a good thing, after all sweat does release pheromones which apparently make you make you more sexually attractive.

What are you waiting for? Go find an excuse to get sweaty ;)

Do you go to the gym to perve on hot guys or girls?

Have you ever gotten up to anything naughty in the gym?
