I think some of the more hardcore folks on this side of the game typically do not appreciate the casual crowd, and the casual crowd does not understand us so they do not appreciate us. I would guess that 90% of the members where I lift would be asked to leave other gyms within the first week. We go in there for serious bidness. We yell, scream, and hit each other before lifts to encourage each other. There has been a film of chalk dust over everything since I got there. We have equipment that other gyms do not have. It is OK to go without your shirt. The music is loud, and if I walk in the front door and you are playing music that sucks, I turn it off and put on music that does not suck and that is appropriate for the bidness at hand, and look you in the eye. Dozens of my bros do the same. These men, many with pro cards, will take their entire evenings to stop and help you if you are willing to listen, but if you want to chat about dumb shit they will ask you to leave them alone. A group of teenagers comes 3 nights a week to train with men with 2200lb totals and learn. They are respectful and becoming like us. There are only a handful of women there and all of them are in love with a BBer or PLer in the gym. They are involved in the men's stuff, do their own stuff, and have lifts similar to a small man and physiques that make you go schwing.
Getting to the point: There have been many a little metro, some little old ladies, and some pretty little things with fake nails come and stay for very little time. They went elsewhere to fit in. At the same time, all of us big hardcore dirty loud folks left somewhere to come here, and we plan not to go change the other gyms in town to what we have. We might all find a place to fit in.
But geeze yea I used to just kinda roll my eyes at those women. I dont know where they are but I've met them a thousand times.
