How To Relieve Stress After College

I was approached the other day by a personal trainer. It was awkward. I was working out at the gym, doing my usual cardio with my headphones on so as to avoid guys hitting on me when some huge, ripped dude in a wife beater and an 80’s crew cut walks up to my treadmill and knocks on it like he’s knocking on a door.

Yeah, he knocked on the treadmill like, “Hello? Can I come in?”

First, when I say huge and ripped, I don’t mean in a good way. I don’t understand why guys think women are attracted to big and bulky, but we’re not. We like underwear models, Brad Pitt types, Johnny Depp sorts. It’s not about the muscles, it’s about the confidence. Super big muscles just means a guy isn’t confidented enough with his personality so he overcompensates with his body. Be healthy, don’t be Hulk Hogan.

So this Hogan-like guy knocks on my treadmill and says, “I’ve seen you around here, I’m the gym’s on site personal trainer. You look like you might be interested in some training.”

Huh? What does the “I’m interested in personal training” look….look like? Doe eyes? Glistening sweat that says, “Train me!?” Anyone with a gym bag?

Well, he obviously MISread my look, so I clarified, “No. I’m not.”

And without missing a beat the dude went into a five minute speech about the benefits of paying someone $80 an hour to tell me to keep doing what I’m already doing anyway. I finished my jog before he finished his speech, so I sort of nodded, stepped off the treadmill, and walked right out of the gym. I wonder if he took the hint.
