Not only that, everyone serious in a gym cannot stand the watercooler guy/girl that is there to bump gums and not lift. After a while that shit gets old, and some folks are tired of the Holiday lifters/workout people. Those new years resolution people. They have shitty arms, shitty legs, and a gut, and always talking. They hog the f***ing machines and are slow as f**k.
When I go to China or anywhere for that matter, I feel good about my appearance and the looks and respect I get. It helps me set the tone for any social encounter I have.
Physical presence matters. Would you do business with a fat slob? If that is the way he takes care of his body, how will they take care of YOUR business?
^^^That's pretty much exactly how I feel about it. I've been hitting the gym for so many years and I am there to get in, work hard, and get out. I HATE it when people sit on the equipment while sending texts on their phone while I am waiting to use it. I leave my phone in the car when I'm at the gym and nothing else matters while I'm there. I'll take care of shit when I get back to the car. You shouldn't be in the gym for much more than an hour anyway...get in, work hard, get out! You shouldn't be taking any time for chit chat with anyone, hot female or not. It's not only male fitness enthusiasts that feel this way so don't be surprised if you get a dirty look from a fit female when you interrupt her routine.
I agree 100% about your point about physical presence, health and fitness. Same could be said about how they take care of their house, their car, etc.. If one doesn't take care of themselves or their possessions, why would I believe they'd take care of anything that matters to me?
