Boring answer. I tend to meet guys through friends. There's never really any blokes at the kind of gym classes I do or any of the language classes I've taken.

Aw! That's not boring at all. Normally your friends are looking out for you and won't fix you up with a dangerous psychopath.

Now that I'm going to the Y, I think I understand the deal with gym classes. I overheard a guy yesterday talking about aerobics classes and he just wanted to do SOMETHING. They're mostly women, and the stuff they were doing was SCARY. lol He couldn't keep up, so I think he sticks to the circuit room where things are a little less intense.

What are the classes you're taking? I'm seriously considering yoga as a way to help with swimming since I can't do that year-round.

I've not done yoga, but I have tried Pilates which I can recommend. I don't recommend HIIT (high intensity interval training) could hardlt walk the next day. I mostly do aerobics classes. I sometimes do a circuits class which is reps of something for 2 min then switch to another thing for 2 min and so on.

Come to think of it: not a bad place to meet people.

Join a walking/running club. You don't have to be a great marathon runner to join these things.

I am not dangerous & I do not know any psychopaths personally. If friends of mine scare anybody, leave them be. I know my friends & who we are, we know each other & that's enough for me.

Please stop calling everyone psychotic, you aren't psychotic, I'm not psychotic; that was an absolute lie. There's for any of us here to reason to publicly defame our own states of mind. Modern medicine almost killed me. I was walking but I couldn't breathe. The brain stem is not legal property. Neither are human beings. Modern, natural medicine saved me. Medicine from dear friends of mine. 'Modern' medicine consists of treating almost anything within the mind as psychosis; as we well know here this is wrong. Presidential golf buddies into binge drinking? Psychopaths, all of them. Psychiatrists #s 2 & 4 says our honest work consists of lying whilst staring daggers through me? Those guys are quite clearly psychopathic & deluded. When I asked them for my records they didn't even blink. I've worked with the same public records legislation as well as biomedical industries & they paid me. I don't need the same certificate on those desks to know what I know because self-actualization, not drugs, is the real therapy for anybody. I've seen people screaming both internally & externally while being injected with drugs & I've seen the legislation that's only pretending to keep those records safe. At such junctures I am thinking about them personally, not neurologically. Telling people we are all psychotic is a pretty weak scam, obviously.

Everything I've tried pharmacologically has been seizure inducing. I know psychiatric medicine poised me because it's on poison control labels, I did all the retching & convulsing. 'Twas wretched, even though nobody will believe me. It's impossible to count how many times psychiatic drugs convinced me I was dying. So if hospitals are going to tell me I'm not a legal person for not killing myself I guess that's the end of hospitals being factories.

People love me irrationally so I do this for free. :heart:

I feel there's a chasm-sized gap between women's interests and men's: In IT courses it's 99% men, in language courses it's almost all women -
In Gyms: in gym's weight lifting it's about 80% men and in aerobic and dancing classes it's almost all-female.
The most balanced part of the gym is the cardio rooms; but yet most women put earphones.

Oh btw hurtloam, if you are seeking for guys to show interest in you then: DO NOT put the earphones on.
Talking to someone with earphones on is against gym etiquette; it means "I don't want to be bothered"; only the most rude blokes would do so; so it is a filter against you really.

So if you do WANT to increase your chances to be "bothered" by a good bloke in gym, then take off those damn earphones; the music in the room is already loud, duh. Earphones would be a chance killer for that.

I don't wear earbuds at the gym.

I think that I come over too intense. I am quite passionate about things and I tend to only talk when I am sure of myself. I think that's possibly a bit off-putting or scary. "This strong willed woman is disagreeable" is how I appear sometimes I think. Weird thing is sometimes I'm quiet and very nice and very polite. So I can been seen as extremely boring.

So I'm not really sure how other people see me. I'm not sure who can handle that combination.

Sounds a bit like me.

I have a very contradictory and extreme personality. I'm either one or the other.

I can be a very laidback, calm and easy going person difficult to anger, or an aggressive hot headed cocky guy easy to anger.

I can be very ambitious, hard working and intelligent, or lazy, apathetic and impatient.

I can be very tolerant of all kinds if people from all walks of life, or very judgemental.

Very opinionated and politically incorrect and not giving a damn for others feelings, or very polite and nice and trying not to offend people.

Sometimes I wish the world was a happy, peaceful place, sometimes I want anarchy and disorder.

I really don know how i became this way, and it depends on the situation or people.

I've got more respect for older people and younger people who don't know better, but really take no crap with people around my age.

If everyone in the world was like me, this would be either the best world, or the worst. Probably the second. There's no in between. :twisted:

Anarchy and disorder please! :D

I can't wait for global warming to cause chaos and disaster so it can annoy my aunt/uncles/cousins who I'm jelous of becuase they're smarter and more successful than me. Hopefully there'll be a runaway greenhouse effect and/or an economic depression. The heat will melt them! :twisted:

So many comment sections on this site spiral way off topic and just become conversations between members.
