“How you Know that You’re Socially Inept…(what do you think?)
Polly, a divorced spinning teacher and Mommy of 2 with long legs, short dark hair, and a long, lean athletic build walked into a bar last night with her friend, Laura. Polly was dressed to have fun after running into her ex-boyfriend at the beach– she donned short white shorts, high heels, and a T-shirt that said “Rock out with your Cock Out” (featuring a picture of a rooster).
A friend of a friend walked over and instead of the traditional introduction said; “I can tell you’re a lesbian because your body looks so manly.”
Polly, who actually, isn’t a lesbian (although definitely NOT the point of the story), told me this story at the gym today. Which got me thinking– what’s the dumbest/rudest thing someone’s ever said to you about your body?
You can’t make this stuff up! Gosh…with friends like that…

my sister’s boyfriend wanted to know why i wanted to take martial arts classes. He said it would only build muscle and that would just make me even bigger. Nice huh? Sadly they are still dating.
Hi Angela-
There’s no accounting for taste, is there?
As you know, some people get hit in the head a little too much. Other people could stand a light throttle every once in a while. Your sister’s boyfriend sounds like the latter.
Come back soon-
