I do enough excercise without going to a Gym. I run up credit card bills, jump to conclusions, walk the staright and narrow (at times) - that's enough for anyone. After you with that box of country slices please....

One one level, strange, but on another, he finds some aspect of you unconditionally lovely. It just happens to be a part of you that you'd not considered could be lovely. Maybe he thought they were so lovely he just had to say something or regret it forever.

Tomo?

You being serious?!?

I must confess to having a thing for feet. However, I have never set foot in a gym (I'm allergic to them) so don't worry, you're safe. And even if I did, a line like that would be the last thing on my mind. Very odd.

My wife has lovely feet. I'd post a pic but she would never pose for it if I told her the reason. I'll have to trick her into it....

erm how to put this, back in the days of video my dad used to be the muggins who did the distribution to the subs so i inadvertantly got to see a lot of strange things.

1 in 3 yes thats right, men has a foot fetish, ranging from "nice shoes" to weres the honey.
50 /50 are either top or bottom men, (trying to be dipolomatic here).
1 in 5 like it rough on them.
1 in 3 like to be rough.
1 in 7 prefer to be babies.
90% of subies prefer huge mamaried ladies with uniforms and wips go figure.

a proper response would have been "thank you, i don't care for them myself but it makes a change from looking at my ......"

Have to go with Tomo on this one. People find a lot of different things attractive in people. I myself am a typical legs and ass man, but there are bound to be people that would never look at them when admiring a woman. It's not our place to dictate who finds what attractive.

Hell, you would have probably been offended if he walked up to you and made a comment on your breasts. A compliment is a compliment after all!

I'll just put on my offensive hat for a moment and say, The most successful chat up line in the world is .....


"Excuse me miss, but does this rag smell of Chloroform to you?"

I just like my missis to fetch me a beer from the fridge. She generally tells me to get it myself but with a few expletives added. People do have very strange turn ons.

Last time I went to the Dirty Secrets club in between the magic acts they read out audience confessions. Anonymous of course.
But one said, and I quote, " I like the feel of dogs nipples".

I'm a pervert.... i like expressive faces and eyes.

Yes I agree entirely here, it's completely arbitrary what people find attarctive. Who are we to decide what is 'normal' and what is 'weird'?

Here are some other things which are completely arbitrary: Social rules.
Most of these exist simply because they have evolved over thousands of years and some serve no particular purpose.

Humans are, however, social creatures and have an innate understanding of social circumstances.
In my experience, people who show little understanding of social rules are either mad, eccentric or fall under the vast psychological umbrella that is the autistic spectrum.

Even if you think some of the rules of ettiquette are silly,
somebody who approaches you like this in a gym, without any social grace, has to expect to be treated like a nutter. Simple.

EDIT: Tomo, I suspected you were serious.

Is it really that different from someone who approaches someone in a gym and tells someone they are beautiful or that they have a lovely backside? My father owns a gym so I was there a lot when I was younger, and I have seen both used multiple times (with varying degrees of success).

At least he had the balls to try it.

Personally, and I would like to stress this, I actually agree with you - there is no difference when you remove the human element.

But realistically, there is a huge difference.
You see the thing is most humans live their lives by social rules which, despite being completely arbitrary, are taken very seriously.

The vast swathes of middle class England are a good example of this.

I can't stand these rules but I would never for a second dismiss their importance. It would be very ignorant of me.

Things like context for example: Grabbing a boob in a night club might get you a slap, but the same thing on the High Street in the afternoon will most likely land you in jail.

And yet, there is no difference between the two.

These rules ARE very important, REGARDLESS of what you think of them. As I said, if a person does not adhere to these rules they are either ignoring them or they are unaware of them, in which case a vital and instinctive part of their brain is missing.

Ie a nutter.

A very large balled one, in this case.

You've got a fetish for Donkeys???

I think there's a time and a place to say things and how you say them. I wasn't really offended by him, I just found it very very strange and quite a funny story, it's something you just don't say to someone and definatly not in the gym.

The fact that I caught him watching me quite a few times and then he said that really could have intimidated a few girls. I don't care, I've got a thick skin and just brush these things off (plus I can kick harder and run faster than most guys )

Perhaps it wasn't so much wat he said as it was who he is. If you thought he was nice looking and charming, it may have been percieved differently.
I'm just guessing here. But, if he looked creepy or made you feel uncomfortable, then there is probably a good reason for it. Personally, I don't have a foot fetish, but I won't deny that I have seen some ugly feet out there, and some that were well formed and taken care of, polished toenails, etc. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

if we're talking about what we like and dont like, i like nice elegant hands, eyes and a lovely voice..

cos if you've got to listen to then witter on about HELLO! magazine, knitting and the cooker playing up, at least it'll sound nice...

if only women really knew how much guts it takes to approach a woman that makes you go all fuzzy and nervy...even perverts get nervous I'm sure...
