yes, kidding about both

another rule is no dude should EVER wear wristbands or headbands[/quote]

totally against this. i rock a wristband every time i'm at the gym. sometimes two. used to go with the red/white and blue like mr vedder back in the day.

and i've given the headband some thought just to further be that guy. i saw herremans wearing one the other day on tv. looked pretty goofy. i like it.

this is disappointing. I never understood dudes that wear gloves in the gym either. kalases are a good thing

I have always said that the gym would be a perfect setting for a TV show. the douche to normal guy ratio is off the charts

nah. i only wear those kinds of sneakers when i'm working out. i have sketchers and other brown shoes i wear with jeans and stuff. keep shit you work out in separate from shit you wear out. that's a rule.

and nike....nice and wide, perfect for my feet. those are the most comfortable sneaks i've ever worn. love them.

Nike's are wide? Since when? They're the most slim shoe out there. I should know. I've got wide feet, and every time I ever bought NeeKay's I had to buy a size or two bigger than I usually where.

RULE - Dudes shouldn't wear Sketchers. Sorry.

Adidas are the skinniest. More so than Nike's

i agree on the gloves.

i just always wore wrist bands playing baseball way back when....i feel weird working out or something without them.

Hmmmm....looks like I'm getting my where's and wear's mixed up.

Don't think I ever owned a pair of Adidas.

RULE - No dude should pay more than 60 dollars for a pair of shoes of any kind. Unless they further your employment.

my theory is when at the gym, less is more. shorts, tshirt, sneakers. that's all you need. anything more and you're bordering on being 'that guy'.

And never use the locker rooms. Change at home. You don't want to deal with talkative old naked guy asking if you want to hit the sauna :shock:

As weird as this will sound, and it surely will, I'm a fan of the sauna. I think it's from my days of rowing in high school and college. Had no choice but to shower and change where I was - so I'm used to the weird scene.

What if they further your chance of getting some? We already have a handycap by being members of a fanclub. Why make it worse?

i like the sauna too.

i usually only use the locker room to lock up my keys or store my sweats and jackets and stuff.

also--i use the pool from time to time so you gotta toss the bag in there. never shower in there though.

Hey, it's not like it's tattooed to my forehead or anything. And I've come to find out that my self-deprecation is charming to the females(my PJ nerdom is laid out on the table anytime music comes up around new people). Actually, I just don't give a shit enough to care what they think. So it works out for all involved.

And, no, spending money on shoes went by the wayside of Jordan's and 8th grade.
