No Harm In Looking

Posted by A.J. Wylder on Mon, 12/10/2007 - 12:00pm

I'm not exactly ready to start dating since my divorce in March but that doesn't mean I can't look. And one place that has quite a bit of eye candy is the gym — the free weight area to be specific.

Luckily, I enjoy free weights the most so being surrounded by sweaty, good-looking guys makes my workout that much more enjoyable. And, aside from toning my muscles, I have been using the time to tone my guy radar.

Out of the corner of my eye, I sneak peeks to see which guys seem obsessed with the mirror and their bulging muscles and which guys seem to be more "down to earth." For example, one day I spotted this good-looking guy but lost any interest I may have had when I saw he was wearing a t-shirt that read: "I love money." Yuck!

And one day I saw this guy who seemed pretty good-looking, though it was hard to really tell because his baseball cap was pulled down pretty low on his face. Well, we both left the gym at the same time and it turned out he ended up living in the same apartment building as me. Hmmm — interesting.

You would think that the gym would be a good place to meet people, and I know several people who have had such luck, but the guys in my gym seem too engrossed in their iPods. Sometimes I see them glancing in my direction but that's as far as it goes.

Oh well. In the meantime, I can have fun just looking.
