You were intentionally bracketed right out of the game by those guys.
As a general rule of thumb, an initial fart offsets approximately two weeks of effort. Subsequent farts increase the social recovery period exponentially.
"Dude, like, she was so totally hot, and so in to you, what happened?"
"I farted a third time."
"Dude I'm sorry."
Does the term sexual preditor mean anything to you?
He meant to get the dudes to stop taking the machines next to you.
Hormel Chili... you'll be all "dude free"...

Scenario: I'm at the gym at zero dark thirty in the morning. There is a row of cardio machines. Six, to be exact. There is some guy on machine #5. I take my position on machine #3. This leaves the opportunity for girls to take their position on machine #'s 1, 2, 4 and 6, respectively. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm fairly picky about my location choice at gyms and bars.
The way it typically works out is this - let's say there is a row of twenty empty exercise machines. I will pick one in the middle third of one end. The girls, as they start occupying the machines, will either be attracted by my animal magnetism, or repelled by it. There is no in between. No neutral. Those that are repelled will make a beeline to the machine furthest away from me. Those that aren't will occupy one next to me. The guys, they are playing the same game. They stay out of my space and I stay out of theirs, unless there is an extenuating circumstance like a shortage of machines or a requirement to conversate with a specific individual.
So fast forwarding, guy on #5 leaves. I have all the machines to myself. Some guy comes up and takes machine number FOUR, right next to ME. I try to give him a sublime but clear "dude, seriously" look but the message was apparently not received. THEN, on top of THAT, some other random guy gets on machine number TWO! I'm sandwiched by two MF's! And then, guess who takes machine number ONE?? You guessed it right. A GIRL!! You could have fried an egg on my head.
Dudes. It's like this. I don't know you. We've never talked. We've never exchanged glances. I don't even recognize you as a regular person here and I've been coming to this same gym for ten years. You don't have anything to talk to me about. AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU! You ignorant socially challenged cock blockers could have respectively taken ANY OTHER MACHINES and we would ALL BE HAPPIER!
I don't want to talk to guys on the cardio machine. I'm not in to guys. I torture myself mercilessly two hours a day at the gym so I can talk to GIRLS, not to GUYS. And by the way, both of you can stand to put a little more effort into your respective workouts as well. You on the right, ace that dyed brushed back semi mullet haircut. You're too old for that. You aren't fooling anyone. Dude on the left. Either shave your face or trim that semi beard stubble so it looks presentable. You probably have to pay for it too.

Anyways, that the violation of the guy code I witnessed this morning.
The problem is that farts are like Roundup, they clear everything away non-selectively. Sometimes feigning (or not) a small coughing fit is an effective small area dispersal method.
Babies work even better.
Nope.... dogs.
Okay, but a man that's good with babies is a turn on. Especially since I'm scared of them. [babies...]
Glad to hear I'm not the only one.Me too. One look at me and they cry for hours. I am not a fan.

Yay - three girl pilots who are anti-babies! We should have a name....
Clearly you take a different stance then I, the gym is not a social setting for me but a place to maintain a hot bod- the guys that came and worked out right next to you were most likely not intentionally cock blocking but there for the same reason I am.
Men are amusing.
Nope.... dogs.

I would call you three.. damn smart..
Suck up!
Naw.... just stating the obvious...
Ha! Men usually have a different reaction when they find out I'm bad with kids.
My only dissapointment in this thread is that no Scotch, Bourbon, Cabernet, Pinot, or others were used in its making.

I'm currently listening to E40's rendition of "Carlos Rossi" as I post, if that counts. Give me about two hours and that problem is about to change!
So, interesting chain of events this morning....
Five out of the six exercise machines were occupied by sausage bearers. Number five was open. Oh well. I just take it and get on with my cardio. Approximately at 2:30 seconds, the fat guy on machine number four lets out this huge massive fart. He leaves either in embarrassment or to head to the john, but whatever the case was he took his stuff with him so he's probably not returning. The guys on machines number three and six also leave, probably not uncoindentally due to the gas attack.
I decided to take a calculated risk. I take an occasional breath through my towel and by approximately 3:45 the smoke cleared. Then an amazing thing happened. It was just like dropping napalm on the jungle - from the barren, charred remains of the underbrush new growth appears.
The cookies!! Yes, the ladies showed up. A full hour (well, approximately 53 minutes worth) of solid entertainment. Conversating, politicing, debating, contemplating, quizziating, interrogating, determinating, sociating, sharinating, commentating, intimitating, visiating ... I was in the ZONE, in my ELEMENT.
Had to share.
Ditto. In fact, it has forced me to end MANY relationships. Men want women to make babies, duh.
why???
I drove by a gym once.
Wait, you were talking politics with them? Or you were spying on them while they were talking about politics girl to girl?
I'm glad that worked out for you -- so to speak. Personally, I don't really care if women are on the treadmills next to mine. In fact, I rather prefer that the more comely ones use the treadmills directly in front of mine. It's all about focus.

Why do men want kids? I don't know, ask them.
