Author Topic: Grunters - Show offs (Read 15450 times)

Does a slight growl before a heavy deadlift set count? If so I am guilty. But then again at my gym the meatheads who hate me deadlifting grunt during their machine preacher curls and their half rep smith machine squats. Sorry for my rant, I had to deal with ass clown shit talkers at the gym today.

cap ... this guy makes a woman in hard labor sound like she's on a joy ride.

Haha....sounds like the skinny basketball jersey wearing dipshits that I see at the gym. I can definitely sympathize with you Cheri. It would be nice to (and for you have Mike) crack some skulls but like you said, maye the weight will do it for you and you can laugh.

believe me, I wish for those 140s to slip every time he's squeals.

cheri lane, you are a hot female, you can tell him anything you want, what is he going to do? its not like hes going to hit you, if he does like every other guy whose nearby would probably jump in and put him on the ground trying to play hero-damsel-in-distress type crap subconsciously hoping to 'get in good' with you and your boobs....
an attractive woman has tons of power at her fingertips and can do things other people could not get away with.
just tell him to stop.

lol, it's not that i am afraid to tell him anything, believe me i have no fear there, it's that if he ever mouthed off or talked to me disrespectfully then I'd have to knock his teeth out and then he would probably put his hands on me ... michael would jump in and pummel him and then be out of a job or maybe even jailed.

Would you really commit assault on a person just for words he said? You do know that people go to jail for that kinda thing, right?

Rob, if someone told me to f-off, ya, I would commit assault on that person. I pinned a guy between my car and another for calling me a c-nt because I gave a little toot with my horn as he was holding up traffic talking to his friend who was in the other car.

JOHN MATRIX · « **Reply #40 on:** April 20, 2006, 07:29:16 PM »

yeah, just ask him nicely, and do the confrontation when Mike isnt around just to avoid getting him involved.
trust me if there are other guys around, hes not going to lay a hand on you.

I don't agree. I think far too many women run their mouth KNOWING a guy won't hit them and they take advantage of that. In many cases, they end up getting their husbands/boyfriends in fights they had no business in. I've had many friends end up in jail or just got their asses kicked cause their women couldn't keep their big mouth shut. I'm glad Cheri doesn't do that to Mike.

Well, to each his/her own. But when you realize that the moment of satisfaction that comes from giving someone their due also can result in you being handcuffed, arrested, sent to court, then given probation or jail time, which will adversely affect your ability to work in the future, you might want to think it through.

Plus, if a cop or citizen had driven by and witnessed you pinning a man between your car and another, he could have legally shot you. No lie. That is Florida law, at least. Not sure about Mass.

What makes agressive behaviour better than responding in a more civilized way, while leaving the agressor alone with his issues? The objective in both ways of responding is to confront the attack and defend yourself, yet by being "defusing" the opponent and showing high character, you basically show that you're a more mature person (Of course, if the loser persists, let him have it)

DF, are you saying that if someone called your mother a c-nt or your girlfriend, wife, sister the same you would handle it "civilized", tell they guy "hey you got a problem dude" and walk away. No one within an arms reach of me calls me that. A guy at a bar tried hitting on me while I was leaving, I didn't respond so he said to his friends "she just another c-nt". Was that necessary? Did I do anything to justify that other than not "hooking up" with him? I walked up to him and asked him what he called me and he repeated it straight to my face with a big smile on his face. Maybe I should have walked away, but I didn't. I kneed him in the balls and as he bent over clutching them in his hands I kneed him in the face....then I walked away. His friends called me a bitch, and I turned around and said "I can live with that".

It's so funny when these brats in the clubs who think they are hot try to "take charge" of a situation, by playing on the "men are submissive because I'm hot" card. Once you laugh at their faces for acting all bratty while finding it cute, the dynamics changes fast

Yeah, it sure does. The best thing is when the girl talking all the shit to the guy gets her ass kicked by his wife/GF, meanwhile, the two guys end up drinking a beer and playing pool.

Holy shit. We had a screamer/grunter at my gym today. Dude was doing leg presses with 7 plates per side, nothing special, but you'd think he was giving birth to a 25 turkey thru his pee hole, the way he screamed. I could not help but laugh. I mean the fucker was extremely loud. I was wearing my headphones, blasting almost full volume, and I had no problem hearing this dude.

You misinterpreted my intention with the post.

What I say is that in the situation you describe with the dude in your gym, asking him in a friendly way to keep it down a little is the way to go. If he responds in a negative way, you have 2 choices, the aggressive way or the "defusing way". If this dude responds negatively to you, he's got an issue with his selfesteem, and he's trying to protect himself, and if you simply call him on that first without getting all angry in his face and stuff, you'll probably reduce his sorry ass into a clown, while avoiding a potential violent conflict, while being the winner (that is, if you can keepcool urself)
I'm not saying that you should turn your back on him, I'm saying that in this situation you can put yourself a step above him if he reacts like an ass, while showing you're not backing off, and if he persist, you can dig his grave.

How you react is basically determined by your personality, and if you stick up for yourself by being agressive, then by all means, do it, it's good that you're not ACCEPTING ANY shit.
Yet, by telling him what I just wrote, you do the exact same thing (while reducing the possibility for violent conflict), and I'm pretty sure nevertheless that if you ask him in a friendly way to keep it down, he'll do it.

As an example, if an adult acts like an idiot to me, I simply look them in they eye and ask them if their mom failed with their upbringing, because civilized people don't act as imature as that, I'm not looking to adopt their issues. This works like a charm, and I've many people who's not apologized for their behaviour when faced with that one. I'm totally in charge of the loser trying to piss me off, and he/she knows it

DF, how old are you. You are very bright. I always thought you were a kid.

Just a question, how many times have you been arrested in your life ?
