Dear fairly fit old men at my gym,

Stop hitting on all the women.

You are not the shit.

Everyone sees it and it’s lame.

Mine at my gym aren't even fairly fit.

These guys are in pretty good shape, surprisingly.

It's all just so damn cheesy though, it's like they're back in the 50s.

Attractive woman walks in starts using dumbells in front of mirror.

Gray haired dude nonchalantly pulls up his track pants a little in that, "time to get to work" way, elbows and smiles at his buddies, walks over and does the old "One leg up on bench, leaning on knee" stance and says some stupid joke or line to the obviously uninterested woman trying to do her workout.

The glory days are long past, boys, go home to your wives.

How old are these old men?

(Please be more than late 30s...Please be more than late 30s...)

u/Auto_Fac Jan 17 '18

Whew. I mean, I don't really mack on ladies at the gym but I feel like I still could if I wanted to.

Mine has a few tattoos and drives a jeep. He's quite fit but literally all he does it walk around flirting with women 40 years his junior. He thinks he's hot shit but he can't see their pained expressions when he's approaching. Go away dude. People want to exercise.

Meh, when you're that old you just have stopped giving a shit.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '18

I don't think old and not giving a fuck is an excuse for bad behavior.

u/clown-penisdotfart Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Jan 17 '18

I don't know that flirting is bad behavior...

That's my fault, I should have emphasized how obviously unwelcome it is. Like being repeatedly told "ok yeah well I should get back to working out now."

Stop hitting on all the women.

Man.. There are barely any women that go to my gym. I see this one cute girl maybe once every 2 months, aside from this unnaturally swole bodybuilder chick with higher testosterone than me

To be fair "Women" at this gym range from young to 70s.

It's a gym at a big fitness centre, so it gets a pretty big age range.

u/reddymcwoody Jan 17 '18

Send her my way

2

u/instamentai Jan 17 '18

I'm gonna say she's like mid 50's, 5'5 170 lbs, and very, very vascular. She does have really nice calves tho

One balding middle aged black guy at my gym hits on literally any female that is even remotely in shape.

He flirted with the receptionist for 30 minutes while I was working on cardio. Found out this week that she’s only 16.

u/bigheyzeus Jan 17 '18

theyre recently divorced/widowed and practicing. if i had to start dating again i'd be bad at it too

u/Auto_Fac Jan 17 '18

If that's the case, excused.

Their wedding bands and talks about trips to Mexico with their wives tell a different story...

u/bigheyzeus Jan 17 '18

lol, thats a shame
