In Heat At the Gym

[Guest greatness]

wow

 

No hottie talks to me at the gym. You are so lucky, Lucky. I bet it's because you are a hottie.

[Rick Munroe]

we have a very large gay gym which has a mostly gay membership

 

As opposed to a very large gay gym which has a mostly straight membership?

[Lookin]

This reminded me of the time Zeb Atlas had the same locker and he had to move to let me access mine. Zeb was in his underwear.

But, so was I as this big guy asked me politely to let him into my pants his locker. He called me sir, and the next thing I knew he was naked, hard, and...

 

How fortunate that we can serve openly here in Hooville. http://images.zaazu.com/img/soldier-anim-desert-storm-soldier-war-smiley-emoticon-000270-medium.gif http://images.zaazu.com/img/soldier-anim-desert-storm-soldier-war-smiley-emoticon-000270-medium.gif http://images.zaazu.com/img/soldier-anim-desert-storm-soldier-war-smiley-emoticon-000270-medium.gifNo pesky DADT for us!

I think you mean "straight-identifying."

Most gyms are gay, but some are on the DL. Good Lord, if the guidos at my gym knew ~1/3 of the membership is on Manhunt they'd plotz.

...and no bickering among posters.

 

Let me know how that works out!

lol Don't feel bad most guys that go to the gym the ones there for serious workouts don't talk much. I had a 2 year gym membership in 03 I went 5 days a week went in did my thing then off to the house never spoke to anyone other than a few personal trainers. most of the guys there were the same way. They even had a sign up at the gym that said this isn't a social club..

[Guest Pecsntex]

Thanks for sharing and making me jealous. Now I know how you got your name!

[+ Lucky]

Today's story is different. First, there weren't many Marines at all. The tall, cute one with the outgoing personality was there, but also a new guy. The new guy was very cute in the face, but no bodybuilder. He just had the fit look you might expect of a young guy in the military.

 

But new guy was definitely a looker, with dark eyes and hair, square jaw and very white skin. When he took his shirt off, I noticed that he had large stains on both the front and back. They looked like paint brush smears, and had that port wine color that you sometimes see. At the same time, he had come out in underwear- the kind that you wear to make your genitals more prominent. Well, sad to say, he still didn't show much.

 

He disappeared for awhile, and when I saw him again he was in a small posing strap, and had just had a spray tan. It was such a difference. The stains looked less noticeable against his new skin color, and his facial features looked even more handsome against a tan.

 

I have no idea what happened next as I had to leave. But, here's a cute guy trying to make himself look his best- and he did a damn good job of it!

[Guest greatness]

Maybe

 

hmm maybe he was looking at your body and was thinking the same thing. I guess you work out often so your body must be fit. I think those marines are keep coming back because of you. I have no hot guys coming to my gym. Where are they?

[Lookin]

. . . I have no hot guys coming to my gym. Where are they?

 

They're on their way, my friend. Better drop and give me ten.

Again I find myself agreeing with josephga.

 

During the 70’s and 80’s I spent about three to four hours a day, six days a week in a down and dirty bodybuilding gym. All free weights none of the silly, sissy spa machines. We were all interested in one thing only – getting bigger. The place was full of the latest in dietary supplements and steroids. While working out the only thing other than the exercises we were doing that captured our attention was our reflection in the mirrors. We NEVER spoke to strangers and spoke to each other only briefly at the beginning of our workouts and for only a little longer at the end comparing notes on new exercises, new supplements and steroids.

 

Non gym rat friends would frequently ask me if most bodybuilders were gay or straight. I would laugh and answer NEITHER. Our only reality was our own reflection in the mirrors. We were all so self absorbed that we could NOT be bothers with other people of either sex. To put this in a time frame it was during this period that Arnold was winning year after year the Mr. Universe title.

Pretty good definition of narcissism.

[KMEM]

Pretty good definition of narcissism.

 

Maybe so, but I took it to mean they were just keeping their minds on their own business; in other words, they were there to improve their bodies, not socialize.

 

Best regards,

[josephga]

its still that way in most gyms. Most go in mind their own business workout go home

Actually narcissism gets a bad rap. It did not start out as a purely pejorative term. From Wikipedia...

 

Healthy narcissism

 

Healthy narcissism is formed through a structural truthfulness of the self, achievement of self and object constancy, synchronization between the self and the superego and a balance between libidinal and aggressive drives (the ability to receive gratification from others and the drive for impulse expression). Healthy narcissism forms a constant, realistic self-interest and mature goals and principles and an ability to form deep object relations.[4] A feature related to healthy narcissism is the feeling of greatness. This is used to avoid feelings of inadequacy or insignificance.

 

[edit]A required element within normal development

 

Healthy narcissism exists in all individuals. Freud says that this is an original state from the individual from where to develop the love object. Freud argues that healthy narcissism is an essential part in normal development.[1] The love of the parents for their child and their attitude towards their child could be seen as a revival and reproduction of their own narcissism according to Freud.[1] The child has an omnipotence of thought. The parents stimulate that feeling because in their child they see the things that they have never reached themselves. Compared to neutral observations, the parents tend to overvalue the qualities of their child. When parents act in an extreme opposite style and the child is rejected or inconsistently reinforced depending on the mood of the parent, the self-needs of the child are not met.

 

[edit]In relation to the pathological condition

 

Healthy narcissism has to do with a strong feeling of “own love” protecting the human being against illness. Eventually, however, the individual must love the other, “the object love to not become ill". The person becomes ill, as a result of a frustration, when he is unable to love the object.[5] In pathological narcissism such as the narcissistic personality disorder and schizophrenia, the person’s libido has been withdrawn from objects in the world and produces megalomania. The clinical theorists Kernberg, Kohut and Millon all see pathological narcissism as a possible outcome in response to unempathic and inconsistent early childhood interactions. They suggested that narcissists try to compensate in adult relationships.[6] The pathological condition of narcissism is, as Freud suggested, a magnified, extreme manifestation of healthy narcissism. With regard to the condition of healthy narcissism, it is suggested that this is correlated with good psychological health. Self-esteem works as a mediator between narcissism and psychological health. Therefore, because of their elevated self-esteem, deriving from self-perceptions of competence and likability, high narcissists are relatively free of worry and gloom.[7] Other researchers suggested that healthy narcissism cannot be seen as ‘good’ or ‘bad’; however, it depends on the contexts and outcomes being measured. In certain social contexts such as initiating social relationships, and with certain outcome variables, such as feeling good about oneself, healthy narcissism can be helpful. In other contexts, such as maintaining long-term relationships and with other outcome variables, such as accurate self-knowledge, healthy narcissism can be unhelpful.[8] ...

Who chose to add all this extraneous stuff?
