Too much of a good thing

The problem with the gym I attended while at college was that you could look anywhere without seeing half-naked girls. Yes, I said *problem*. Let's face it, some girls are full of themselves, and so odds are someone’s gonna be in my line of sight, and then afterwards back at the room they're all, "good workout but some creep in a striped shirt was looking at me!"

"Yeah, I've seen that guy! What a freak!"

I'm innocent! In fact, I go to great lengths to not look at people. I'm quite the gentleman. Depending on how crowded the place would be, basically any which way you turned your head you you'd see someone in a sports bra. Eventually I would just give up and state at the ceiling. Even staring into the mirror isn't safe, because people could wonder if you're just checking out the room behind you...or staring at yourself, which is even weirder. Um, much weirder. I've seen people.

I tend to zone out, and when I suddenly realize where my head is turned of course there are girls there I would wonder if they just stare be blankly. Even if I'm dancing shots around the room and I catch eyes with someone for an instant, I have to wonder if she was wondering whether I looking at her for more than an instant!

I should probably relax. I think the only reason I'm worried myself is because I've heard other girls talking about guys staring that them. These particular girls would say they were freaked out but my opinion is they liked the attention, as they sounded more like they were bragging then lamenting over the lack of quality in male character at the university.

For all girls that read this, I do try to not look at you. If it looks like I'm looking at girls, I'm not. I'm actually there just to work out. Feel free to stare at me, though.

There are now women’s’-only gyms to prevent women from being uncomfortable with a bunch of guys around. I might have to go to a men's only gym to spare myself the worry of discomforting anyone else.

Probably when I'm seventy and playing BINGO with the old ladies I'll look back and regret partaking in the visual feast when I had the chance. I'll be able to say I was polite, at least. Also, eh, I'd rather just exercise. Some of these girls are probably just trying for attention, anyway. They just try to hard...I mean, makeup done just for the elliptical machine? Come on, now!
