The Guy Code

Surely the other guys who saw you in the steamroom with a camera left before you started taking pictures?

Wait, I thought Oakland WAS the bad part of San Francisco? :D

Seriously, dude, you're being cruised. Gyms and steam rooms are the turkish baths of today. The guys surrounding you are either in pursuit of you or hippies who are "too comfortable" sharing their personal space. Either way, if you're that uncomfortable, it might be time to invest in a home gym.
 
I am not dating these days but aren't places like Match.com pretty good places to meet interested folks? My son is getting married this summer to someone he met online.

//begin rant

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.

//end rant

Anyways, that the violation of the guy code I witnessed this morning.

Its not a urinal. Just sayin.. :nonod:

Chances are those two dudes were there because they were focused on working out...
 
I never understood the appeal of a steam room. I don't like Houston in the summer and I sure don't want the virtual experience.

Ditto.


I am mildly amused at this guy code stuff.

Firstly, why the F*** didn't you just move?

Secondly, if you want some of that Korean action, get your asss up and go sit beside her.

Thirdly, apparently there is an option to simply purchase her services.

And Finally, sounds like you just got outplayed by the fat ugly Hispanic guy and your game is weak.


The Guy Code does not exist. You make your move or get out of the way. Simple as that. What kind of man gets out of the way if he sees another dude eyeballing the same sheila? The answer is, a dumbass.

A rapper recently lost a lot of endorsement money and got vilified for having a song suggesting the same thing. Good thing your audience is smaller. Don't worry...your secret is safe with me.

I agree that it's time to start holding these "artists" accountable for the crap that comes out of their mouths. Why is Lil' Wayne's 'radio version' lyrics better than the uneditied version? I think it's profanity just for profanities sake.

See - the answer lies within your question.

The fact of the matter is, if I did in fact want that action, I just would have pursued it and been done with it but I wasn't. I didn't get outplayed, I wasn't playing the game to begin with. The fact that I was denied a potential opportunity by pal is not what upset me. What upset me was the fact that he would actually do such a thing. Plus he was in my space. It bothered me mildly, but not enough so as to make me want to move.

Let me find an analogy. Let's say some guy gets in your face and says "OkieFlyer, F you!" Well, it's going to upset you - not because you're worried that the guy is going to physically go deliverance on you and F you, but rather because it's spiteful.

I guess I'm just confused, or you have simply succeeded in sucking me into some twisted game of yours, but If you're not interested in hooking up, then how can you be angry that a guy C-blocked you?

I wasn't aware that sitting next to someone was the same as getting in somebody's face and saying F You. If he was too close, I think it's perfectly acceptable to ask him if he would mind scooting down a bit, or you can move. If you did neither of these, then you have no room to complain. If it didn't bother you enough to prompt any action, then you have no room to complain.

If this whole thread is just for giggles, then great. If your serious, then I say you have real issues. I'm assuming and hoping that this is just all for kicks.

You know, it's not one thing. It's a culmination of things. Sort of like a set of circumstances played out until their logical end. Nothing in its individuality upset me to the point where I felt the need to complain about it. And conversely, the entire scenario wasn't important enough that I needed to get in his grill about it either.

It's one of those lingering things that bothered me and I've vented. What's the purpose? Not to get universal support, I know different people have different takes on the whole thing. Obviously you believe I'm overreacting. And you may well be right in the end.

I'm just relaying the story, my frustrations. and you can call the shots as you see them. Your feedback sounds genuine, and it's valuable.

No steroids, but on a serious note doc did say I have a high testosterone condition onset by a high level of physical activity. My limited independent research questions that, but he actually did tell me that.

Have you seen and heard these guys? It's the only way they can get a date!
 
So I was on my favorite cardio machine today and a random thought occurred to me.

I was on machine number 4. To my right, was a hot little Latina, and next to her a slightly older chunkier one on 5 and 6, respectively. To my left were three middle aged ladies.

Let's say I could have the one of my choice. Well, in order of preference, (we will use A through E as not to confuse machine positions), A and B are both easy choices (the two to my right), there is a tie for the C and D spot and E is an easy choice.

Well lets say I could have all of them. Interesting quandary. Do I start with A and work my way down, or do I start with E and work my way up?

Problem is if I start with A and work down, I'll probably be pretty spent by the time I reached D, if not C. On the other hand, if I started with E, I'm quite sure I'd be good to go for A and B.
 
How about just go home to your wife and have your way with her instead of worrying about which one to cheat with?
 
See? Aren't you happy you don't have to worry about these problems in real life? Imagine how horrible a conundrum that would be if you could have your way with any woman!

Yeah, is suppose there is the law of unintended consequences, huh. (Although, I suspect option E to be too old for unintended consequences hahahahaha)

From what I can gather, this seems to be a strictly theoretical problem.
 
Loved this story.

First question: How do you know she was Korean? Korean from Korea is one thing, but American born--let's just say everyone who sees me is sure I'm Italian, when in reality I'm half WASP and half Ashkenazi Jewish.

Second, do NOT assume she is a whore. I have probably 15 Korean female students. For whatever reason, they always appear well dressed and with lots of makeup.

Finally, I agree--the guy broke the code. :wink2:

Okay, tool of the month time.....

Reference the following steamroom:

Preserve-steam-horiz.jpg


But pretend there is some steam in it and it's hot. Well, I finish up my workout and enter the steamroom, which is a co-ed unit located in the common pool area of the gym. I sit in the left rear corner. I'm the only one there.

A minute later the fat older Hispanic guy that camps in the pool comes in the steamroom, and sits like.... right next to me, on the left side as viewed in the photo. Dude was invading my personal space! I mean there was a good solid ten feet between me and usable bench space on the left side. WHY didn't he just take the other end? Either end was perfectly good for getting steam and not getting burned or whatever. Even the middle of the bench would have been fine. But, RIGHT NEXT TO ME??? And this guy never uses the steamroom. He just swims and sits in the Jacuzzi. Not that he doesn't have a right to use the steamroom, it's just not his normal mode of operation.

Then the hot, thin Korean chick walks in. Oh, so that's why. She's forced to sit at the far end of the bench. This big fat dude anticipated that and has effectively, and intentionally blocked her from being in between me and him. Dude has been trying to work that action for months, to no avail. She appeared mildly annoyed, steamed for a few minutes and left.

Dude, it's like this:

1. Give it up. You're a old fat guy, she's a younger, thin attractive woman (Imma guess maybe mid to late 30's) that doesn't need you. English may not be her very first language, but that fake pleasant voice you try to use when you talk to her seems, well..... fake.

2. If you want that I'll bet it's going to cost you. Lots of cash. I don't know what her occupation is, but I have a very strong suspicion she is a high-end prostitute ("escort.") I don't know that for sure, but she shows up at the gym at zero dark thirty in the morning not dressed in gym clothes, but rather high heels, tight fitting designer jeans, makeup and accessories suggesting that she just got done from her job shift at 4:00 a.m. and it probably wasn't working the watch counter at Macy's. Plus she's got large and obviously fake breasts.

3. You violated the guy code. You threw an intentional cock block. You committed a defensive pass interference. You should be penalized to confinement in the dry sauna for a week.

Again the question has to come out...maybe he was there chasing you. How do you know. He WAS sitting right next to you, he choose that spot.

No, she's Korean born, speaks passable not great English. No ambiguity here. As to whether or not she is a whore, I'm only basing that on a particular set of circumstances. Asians tend not to get big boob jobs for the hell of it. Nor does anyone show up at a gym first thing in the morning dressed as they would be for the rest of the Evening. None of her other Korean compatriots do the same.

For what it's worth, lately she HAS been showing up in workout attire so perhaps you're right and she came to the the conclusion it doesn't make sense to spend an hour dressing for a ten minute trip only to have to spend an hour redressing again. But who knows.

Strictly a thought exercise. The same thought exercise that would occur in any other given setting, i.e. row of stylists at the haircut salon, line at the grocery checkout, group of FBO hotties, etc....

Perhaps. As long as they aren't overt meat gazers I don't care that much.
 
Whatever dude. You should get a job with DHS and lead their fictional character thought crime unit.
