How to (Read: Not) Get Hit on at the Gym.

You're at the gym, beginning your daily jog. Directly in back of you is a mirror that reveals your most coveted asset. You select the manual program and before you know it you’re sweating up a storm. That’s when you notice a line of metro-sexual men standing to the side, apparently waiting to use the machines. This is all fine and dandy, except they are S-T-A-R-I-N-G at you, even when you are staring down at them. That’s when you make a decision. No, not even a decision, you make a vow. You will never wear name designer sportswear to the gym again. Think that’s it? Let me tell you what will get you a blank look- and solitude.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Mascara
• Old Concert T-Shirt

1. Do not just ditch the Juicy wear. You have to ditch the whole mind frame of thinking you have to look okay to work out.
2. Stop, think again, and realize you can stop the stares-the second you walk into a gym looking hideous. Wear your brothers or boyfriend’s soccer shorts that come down to your knees. Strap on a neon headband. Don’t reapply deodorant.
3. Pile your hair into a tight bun, and smear mascara down your face.
4. Even bust out that XXL Bush concert tee you saved since Jr. High. If men can’t see your shape, they will look the other way.
