What kind of world are they creating?

Kinda makes one hope that H. G. Wells's Eloi and Morlock societies hurry up and get here.

[LachlanMinnesota]

I think the tone was referring to her skin tone...

[Lazamataz]

I dunno. I see a little pooch around the tummy.

[PapaNew]

Good one.

[dfwgator]

But would Sir Mix-a-Lot approve?

[americanbychoice3]

Expect an executive action soon. We have to be equal!

[Cowboy Bob]

I wonder if she is an aspiring actress, or is planning a fitness video, and figures this is a good way to promote herself...

[98ZJ USMC]

What you're describing is not a gym. It's an activity center for the perpetually aggrieved adolescent. I do hope they sterilize the bars for you each night.

*groan*

[PapaNew]

Oh, the complainers? Well, they’re the same fat ugly folks who replaced the pretty airline stewardesses.

[Mr. K]

i think there is probably more to this story

[cincinnati65]

She ain’t all that......!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Nope, there’s an article in the Albuquerque Journal today about some woman being chucked out of a Planet Fitness for wearing a hijab.

They told her that the dress code banned do-rags.

There are people in this world that are never happy unless they’re trying to run someone else’s life for them. Women are the absolute worst at this. A half-way decent looking woman enter the gym, and the hippos stampede.

This lady looks decent enough. Perhaps midriffs are supposed to be covered. Perhaps the string top is the problem. I’d warn the patron to please wear something different the next time and then watch to see that she did so.

Making a federal case out of this is insane.

As for people being afraid of someone else’s sweat. I’ve got two words for them. STAY HOME!

There’s no way to avoid other people’s sweat in a gym with shared equipment.

If you’re that sensitive, you need to stay in your own protected environment.

[Mr. K]

"She was making the good personality women feel bad."

Ding~! Winner

[Billthedrill]

I bet it was a bunch of chubby women.

Bingo.

[Wolfie]

Indeed, that is their market. I suppose we could tell them they have to cater to the usual gym-rat types, but it seems to me the market can decide.

[grobdriver]

I know the ones you mean.
;)

[PGR88]

Yes, you too can be a victim!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

She’s not all that, there must be some porkers at her gym.

[freedomson]

I immediately thought of Kurt Vonnegut too!
