**Waverly** , I know of people who have had bottles and things thrown at them while running. Completely unprompted, not as a result of being in the street or whatever (not that it would make it OK). Not sure what the deal is. ---

Yeah, okay. That’s just creepy. Sure, I drive hoime past the park, but I don’t _circle_ it, for og’s sake. I don’t stare and drool, I just take appreciative glances as I go past. No slowing, swerving, or parking. What Waverly describes is creepy, plain and simple. Those fuckers are ruining it for the rest of us. ---

[It could be worse.](http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2003/08/22/mtracker/news/73joggerstrike.txt) I think the first couple lines sum it up nicely. (Story’s from 2003, what was said made me dig it up.) ---

> [@](#): > > A teenager accused of deliberately running over a jogger so he could have sex with the corpse… OK then… I guess my stalkers are of the polite and civil variety. People sure get strange when they are safely in a vehicle and you are out in the open. I do, however, appreciate the occasional car load of girls honking and waving. 😉 ---

The most risky driving habit I have is when I pass a shirtless guy in running shorts (the short kind, not these stupid down to your knees ones) and hot thick sweaty man thighs. I slow down, I forget about the traffic around me and just look. I find it to be one of the greatest pleasures of driving. Thank goodness I live in a climate that allows joggers/runners to show some skin year round. ---

> [@Chairman Pow](#): > > Are you sure you didn’t mean to put that in the “how do I stop an erection” thread? > > Let me tell you that while running girls are hot, weightlifting girls are hotter and girls that are into into MMA…sweet Christ.\* > > - I should like to point out that MMA stands for “Mixed Martial Arts” and not whatever you thought it did. See, I don’t mind guys who give that appreciative glance or even give the occasional compliment. I mind the stupid girls in my gym (consisting of 90% of college students) who wear the super ultra skimpy ‘work out’ clothes that barely cover themselves and slam weights as they’re working out, then prancing around the weight room after they’re done with a set. I’m in the gym to really work out, not show off my body and torture the exercise equipment. Nothing like working out next to a girl wearing basically a bikini slamming the weights really hard then listening to her get up and say to the room “WOW, that was SUCH a good workout! Oh man I’m so _sweaty_…” then watch her run her hands over her body to emphasize where she’s sweaty. WE’RE IN A GYM, NOT ON SET OF A SOFTCORE PORNO YOU LOON! Huff. But yes, women who really work out and give off that healthy musk as they’re running are sexy. They give off that aura of confidence and determination. Those other girls are just trying to command attention from everyone need to be shot. ---

That would be “work out” of course, in that crazy moon language I call English. ---

**Pehcnab** , find some girls into MMA. The only problem you’ll have is not trying to turn phrases like, “slide to mount” and “gound ‘n’ pound” into sexual acts. If you do, they’ll kick your ass. No posturing there. ---

WE’RE IN A GYM, NOT ON SET OF A SOFTCORE PORNO YOU LOON! okay, first of all, miss anastaseon…god i hope i spelled it right, you’re a rather cute gal. no more self pity, cause there’s nothing to bring pity about. to the question…yeah, even an average girl with a decent body looks better working out. it’s the effort, the male hunting instinct, and the divining rod in my pants doing more of the thinking. i’ve thought many a time “yeah, i wanna take that home riiiiiiiiiiiight about now” after watching some of the college cuties working out. and penchant, please, take me to your gym. i could clean up. it’d be great. i give the bikini wearing, softcore porno babes workouts away from the gym and then it frees up the equipment for you. see? win/win! …and yes, i realize i’ve opened up the “sexual/working out euphemism” contest. hopefully, i have not.
