The Mind of Mr. M

Today was one of those days where I almost spoke out of turn just on principle.

I was working out at the gym today and at the bench next to me were these two very opinionated guys working out. They were discussing their inability to look past someone’s looks. More specifically, they were discussing how they have to keep getting after their wives to lose some weight.  Wait, it gets better. Then they discussed their expectations for how their wives should look and after having kids how they need to try harder to look good.

Over the space of about five minutes, they went from there to making comments about the girls in the gym their wives should look like and how they knew that each time they bring up the topic to their wives their wives get testy. But they can usually walk away and she knows that if they do, they better keep their mouths closed.

I was appalled on behalf of all the women in the world and embarrassed for men in general as these two considered what they were saying to be ok.

Here is the clincher…both of them were huge overweight, balding guys with distorted tattoos, unshaven and wearing cutoff sweat pants and three days growth.

They say that we complain most about the things we refuse to see in ourselves…maybe this is proof.

P.S. Yes, I know I am being judgmental but for this post, I really don’t care.
