Over the years, I've seen some pretty funny
behavior in the gym. Because the gym is an environment where men and women workout and sweat with minimal clothing, there is a lot of peacocking going on. (For those of you who aren't familiar with the term,
peacocking is the "ostentatious dress or behavior employed by a man in an attempt to impress women")
In the presence of women, particularly attractive women, men tend to puff themselves up when working out. Men will consciously or subconsciously work out harder when an attractive woman is nearby.
Most women, on the other hand, don't notice men in the gym (unless of course he's very attractive) and they certainly aren't impressed by how much a man lifts. Men notice how much other men lift, but women don't give a rat's ass.
What women notice is not performance but physique. Men are drawn to the hour glass figure of a woman, whereas women are drawn to a man's shoulder to waist ratio. Wide shoulde…
