Hello… My name is JJ and I am addicted to Ryan Seacrest’s morning show… Darn you SiriusXM!
Something on his show this morning struck me and made me think, there is a girl who is being bullied, the parent was told that this was going to happen because she is a good-looking girl. This got me thinking about gym creepers, heck everyday creepers; and unwanted advances!
Bullying, creeping; is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate and aggressively dominate others.
I am in a committed relationship with the man that I get to be stuck with forever! With this in mind, I do go to the gym alone and I do wear whatever I want there. I am comfortable in my own skin. I typically wear shorts (it is actually a joke amongst my lifting friends about whether or not I own pants), sports bras, tanks and usually baseball/longsleeve Ts.
When I started this search, I looked up gym creeper… cause duh! There was a horrible article on 10 signs you are a gym creeper, which is a fun lil video. The information after was crazy to me… they give tips on how to concentrate on your fitness (come on girls be confident in your body) it’s not your fault you are being creeped on. Bullies are the cause, not the victims.
I am not embarrassed by the creepers, I am annoyed by them! I’m not going to change my attire to the gym in order to not be approached. I wear a hat, my headphones and my bitch face. I am a nice person, so I always say Hi, but when asked if I’m taken I always say yes – to me that means… walk away! However; to the dude creeper it apparently means I should try harder to get this girls attention.
I am fine having friends, but I will not have any friends that do not know J, or do not respect my relationship. This leaves most gym creepers out.
Let’s also talk about the public creepers, I am not in this store because I was hoping you would find me and be with me forever. I am here because I needed to pick something up. The menagerie of pick-up lines, you’re beautifuls, damns, and pointless conversations drive me crazy… Or the blatant disrespect of my relationship with the, Are you taken? Yes. Is he here? He doesn’t need to know. EWWWWWW! Who does this actually work on!?
The best is the interweb creepers, the I see you are in a relationship but thought I would private message you anyways and get you talking. Hmmmm, bye bye! I get it, I’m in shape, I care about my appearance – I was also an ugly duckling through high school so this attention is a bit foreign to me. If I don’t make eye contact with you, if I don’t respond to you, when I say I am taken or when I look upset by your bullshit comments – why don’t you try leaving me alone.
I am at the gym to work out, not find a mate – I have one, and he’s better than you.
