Plus, there are those abs of yours… (just guessing!!)

Regarding writing about “Dating Ju-Ju” - so far I’ve avoided the topic (barring comments!) but it may make for a funny post or heck, even a thoughtful one.

Mike: I think it has something to do with their eating habits. I’m sure he wasn’t always homeless. His abs memories were never lost. They probably never forgot ever being anything other than hard. But I would assume he doesn’t eat too much to gain fat. We’ll call it the ‘Homeless Diet.’ It isn’t for everyone but it works for some.

Fitness Diva: You know… I don’t think my forearms are that bad. LOL… But it’s all good. I don’t have big guns but they work.

It’s one thing to hear about you its entirely different to touch all up on you. Is it the worst when you have an audience? I think my face would have told her to back off. But like me, you dealt it like a champ.

OP: Are you saying I brought it on myself? Huh? Is that what you are saying? Just playing… Yeah, it had to happen sometimes. I have another encounter I’m going to share soon. I just have to get past the N word.

MarvalusOne: It gets worst. I have one more to tell. Coming next week.

Lavenderbay: At least dude didn’t bite me. LOL… I’m sure those pups will get along just fine. They just have to get used to each other. As for me and the homeless… I’m glad I only had to be there for a few minutes.

The fact that you engaged him in conversation after the comment about your forearms makes you a better person than I.

I laughed out loud at the part where he said that your forearms were scrawny. You definitely took it all pretty well.
The touching part, though…yeah, that woulda freaked me out. I don’t like UNhomeless people touching me either. I am very big on “personal space”.

I once had a new fitness manager in one of our clubs come into my class to meet me for the first time, and she immediately grabbed both my hands and was right up in my face, like damn near six inches apart from my face on VERY FIRST CONTACT and she was saying “Oh, I’ve heard SO MUCH about you” and “I need to come take your class!”, and going on and on like that in the middle of introducing herself to me, holding my hands up and shaking them as she talked, and the whole time I’m thinking “Get your hands OFFA me!!”m but at the same time trying to remain polite. She had me in this vice like grip, and I was like WTF?? I’ve never even seen this person before in my life! If she had been someone on the street, I’da clocked her. That really unnerved me, and I felt somewhat violated! lol
Like “I didn’t give you permission to touch me!!” lol
I really don’t like touchy-feely people. Especially touchy-feely STRANGERS.
You handled it well, though. Good encounter!

I wonder how a homeless guy goes about getting good abs?

Regarding issues and homeless - I do think there is something about what we “attract” into our lives. I think we attract what we focus on whether we want it or not! For example, I used to attract all these rescuer type men! But..back then I had a “rescue me” type of vibe.

Now I attract married men or recently-divorced or men-in-transition. Yeesh. I know it’s me and not them.

I used to get more of those crazy-street-people encounters but no longer. Now I tend to meet super-cool and active elderly folk.

Anyway, when I attract what I don’t want (like these married guys or these “wounded” men) I wonder at what type of energy I am giving out to attract this.

I have one friend who is a magnet for a very specific type and she even laughs about it: men who are not quite sure of their…manliness. They aren’t gay but they are not sure if they are straight. So they start dating her and then start cross dressing!

In my case I’m working on dating ju-ju as I think of it. Signs are looking much better although one married guy made a move and it was so outta left field for me it had me wondering. I seldom flirt and I don’t flirt with married guys unless it’s very obvious that it’s in fun and more flattery that flirting (and the wife is around). As usual, I take my comment off topic!
