chatty in the weight room?

crimsondestinyx · 01-04-2005, 08:07 AM

i'm a loner and i lift and do damn near everything else in my life alone. not much of a people person, thas why i go to the gym either late at night or early in the morning to evade the crowds.

I have no problem with other people chatting with each other a little bit, but when they think the gym is social club and just hang around machines talking, it annoys me. As far people chatting with ME, anything more than a "Hey, how ya doing?" is annoying. I don't go to the gym to be social. I work out with my wife, and we don't even chat with each other when we're there.

Once I'm in, I put my headphones on and lose myself. If you are going to talk to me, you better either be Ronnie Coleman (pretty good chance at me answering), or Pamela Anderson (definite chance of me answering).

I think even headphones might distract me from workingout

Most days I don't talk to a single person in the gym, that's the way I like it....

You can see the overall poll results by clicking on the "view results" link. You can't set it up to see what each individual respondant voted for.
