I live in a college town and often use the university gym, as I know the pass code to get in (I don't go to UF and never did, but my GF - who never even used the gym - gave me the pass code). Whenever I go to work out, I see the typical fraternity/sorority/mainstream sports-y types there, and they all give me strange looks upon entering.
I have several visible piercings, have spikey/fauxhawked black hair (usually it's dark when I'm not lazy), and even my workout clothes are black, because it's just the color I think I look best in. I definitely tend to stand out in that environment... and I think those frat rats just somehow think that since those with an "alternative" image are stereotypically against everything mainstream, fitness must be something we hate, too (even though I actually look more "fit" than a majority of them )
Does anyone else get strange looks at the gym?
