Dealing with a gym a$$hole..

[AmDevil]

So I recently joined this other gym to play kick boxing as an additional activity to burn more fat and condition my body.
As usual, I greet everyone with respect and am friendly with everyone.

There's only this younger dude who keeps throwing comments at me -which is very childish I know- but it really gets on my nerves! The 1st day I was there, he was taking to a coach about "getting out with my girl(s) tonight", shortly after I expressed my distress to her about a couple tests I was going to prepare for after my workout.

Today, I play around with the punching bag.. and he passes by me and throws a "you'll never be a Mohd. Ali".. Shortly after, I go to wash the excess sweat off my head in the bathroom and he comes asking "what are you doin'?".. so I kept it in and gave him a logical answer, "I've had a hair transplant, and sweat contains DHT which kills hair folliciles".. He makes a "what the heck is that" face in ridicule..

I'm really not so good with these situations, I usually keep it in over and over until I explode.. It's just me.. and I know myself pretty well..

I surely will not allow him to just keep intimidating me, I'd rather kick his a$$ and lose the boxing lessons than allow a low life to flex his muscles at me..

I don't wanna deal with cock-waving insecure kids who start developing hate for someone whom they barely know.. I don't know what it is that makes him do that, is it me, my equipment, my school, my car, I have no idea..

I just need a few tips on dealing with idiots like that cause I'm actually a foreigner and can't very much respond tactically in such situations..

Just had to share this and see what you guys think..

get in his face if you have to, or just go the the people who ru he gym and have them take care of it

 

[Hoglander]

Wear a mp3 player and ignore him. Above all be polite. In my mind it's... be polite so that when you bash someones teeth down their throat you have no regrets. Be polite.

 

[DiGiTaL]

Like Hoglander said. No reason for the beef, when it comes to male domination every male feels the need to prove themselve.

Just ignore him, if he gets physical, then thats your hint; rip him a new asshole.

Yell out loud "Are you gay? If not why do you keep following me and checking me out? Hey, manager! I'm in the bathroom and that boy wanted to touch my penis!!

I did this to a bully who was messing with my son, he kept messing with him and one day when all of his friends were around I asked why do you keep messing with my boy?

As kids boys would tease girls because that was the only way they knew how to show affection or whatever...

I asked him if he gets a hard on wrestling with other boys, asking him if he likes the cock ......LOL his parents had a few choice words for me afterward.

I like this strategy. Please record if you do this and share with us.

 

[AmDevil]

Thanks for the wonderful advice everyone!

can try to keep things cool, and pmost importantly as recommended -POLITE-.. I'll keep the friendly manner alive, but I'll be on the lookout for any cheesy comments..

I have a few points in mind that can "show him what his worth is" without having to cross the politeness line.. If it gets further than that, then I think Min0 Lee's style would surely end it -one way or the other-

Brillant!

I need to write this shit down, for future reference...lol

 

[min0 lee]

The kid really was a FIT.

Fag In Training for those who don't know......not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[nkira]

By far best option

F.I.T

Lmao, Im gonna go walk around asking bullies "Are You FIT?" they'll all obviously say yes

 

[Little Wing]

wait till hes benching heavy then walk up n pee on him.

 

[Uba]

hey Guys, i'm new to this forum but have read a lot on it.

But for this kid (i am 20 myself) just wait for him outside the gym one day and rip him a new one.

 

[vader]

wait till hes benching heavy then walk up and teabag him

fixed that for you

[Little Wing]

maybe he's just has horrible social skills and thinks he is using friendly ribbing and doesn't even realize he's being obnoxious. some people have no idea how to make friends.

The person who remains calm almost always ends up better off. But you don't have to be polite either. If he says something to you that doesn't require a response, just act like you don't hear it. Another good tactic is to answer a question with a question, especially one that is a little demeaning, but in a very calm way. This is psychological, it dismisses their question as if they are unimportant Don't even turn to face him, just answer with a sarcastic remarks as you continue doing what you were doing.

Example:
You are washing your forehead and he says "what the heck are you doing?" You say "do you always follow men into the bathroom?" If he asks another question, you say "do you find other men's bathroom habits interesting?"

You are stretching and he says "afraid you'll get a cramp?" You say "do you come to the gym for the conversation?" If he asks another question, you say "are you still here?"


Remember that people act like this kid because of their own insecurities. It bolsters him to make you feel uncomfortable. If you show that you are so disinterested and unconcerned that you don't even answer his question, he will move on. Especially NEVER say anything at your own expense such as hair transplants or how you aren't good at a certain exercise, etc.

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

that's actually....awesome.

Sometimes, you have to embrace your inner-a*hole and go with it.
If you do it as Clem suggested...nice, calm and demeaning...the better.

Sounds like my kind of kid - we should arrange a "meeting" !

 

[lola1182]

just ignore ignorant people like that. you're there to better yourself, and that's all that matters.

 

[Liftman]

You have a couple options here. 1. Ignore him and maybe he will go away. 2. The one would do, next time just strait out ask him "Are you f--king with me?" normally this will catch them by surprise because most people do not like confertation, and he will say "aw no, sorry" if by chance he says "yes" just be polite and tell him to stop, and that if he doesn't stop he is going to have a problem.

The problem I have with just ignoring dipshits like this is they always think they got away with something, and will then do it to someone else. I like to confront guys like this so they will leave me alone but also they will think twice about doing it to someone else.

if it were me, the next time he got in my face I would say "what's your problem dude"? and go from there, if wants to fight, then go fight and get it over with, if not politely tell him to shut the fuck up and quit bothering you.

 

[Little Wing]

i still wonder if it's just an awkward attempt at making friends. maybe his intent is not as bad as it seems.

 

[ROID]

it is a risky maneuver.

He may just have to go banana nuts and whip that trick

 

[maniclion]

Drink lots of whey and eat chili every night, when he comes around unleash a noxious gas cloud, it works for skunks and bums.....

That's why i liked Clemson's idea of confronting with a question, then escalate from there if necesarry.
