My previous post was just an off-the-cuff joke by the way.
But on a more serious note, now that i've given it some more thought:
How do you know which women are going to like you ogling them? Do you wait for them to give you the eye first?
It occured to me that in the gym then there must be:
men ogle women
men ogle men
women ogle men
women ogle women.

I wouldn't like to go to a gym and be ogled by a woman and i think i have the right to not expect it, on the other hand i suppose (not being a gym goer) i may or may not mind a man ogling me?
I guess men must feel the same? A straight guy not wanting to be stared at by a homosexual, but may like a woman to admire his hard-earned physique. On the other hand i dont think theres anything wrong with two people whoever they are, complimenting each other on each others bodies as a friendly confidence booster - and surely the gym is *the* place to do it?
So how does it work for you?
Have you ever got your face slapped, been thrown out by the gorilla in a suit, or got a phone number or date?
It's a very interesting concept (to me).

I suppose we have completely gone away from the original point. On the question of being thrown out, people are at the gym admiring every other person who is there with perfect abs so in terms of oggling I don't think there is a problem unless you start harassing them, so I think there is no harm in staring. And in terms of homos, it's does get a bit creepy but I'm not homophobic, and they usually go away when you tell them you're straight and not interested. It does seem a large proportion of the toned guys in the gym are gay. And women have no animosity over hanging out with gay guys at the gym.

Finally the exhibitionists who come into the steam room with a sheer bikini, which leaves nothing to the imagination when wet, awesome, lets have more of them join the gym.

"A lot of women claim to be open minded, but when it comes to the crunch they wouldn't do it. But if they're in love, would they do anything? Who pulls the strings and who wears the trousers?"

To get back on track...I'll answer this purely from my own perspective, and stick to the original post.

Scenario:
I love "Joe" and he loves me.
But I also love me too.
I respect my own body and I value my own sense of worth/values/morals/opinions
And I respect his too.

We are Equals. So I would not expect to do 'anything' he asked me to do just because he asked me, I would have to want to do it. And vice versa.

If he tried to persuade me to overstep my boundaries "because I love him" I would reckon that he did not in fact respect my body or my mind as much as I had hoped he would.

So, to answer your questions, No I would not do 'anything' just because I love a man and I would not want either of us to 'wear the trousers' or do any string pulling either.

A woman can be open-minded without having a mind like jello-o that can be manipulated at will. Surely being open-minded simply means not dismissing an idea without giving it any serious consideration that it might deserve? (It amazes me when someone is called narrow-minded just because they've thought about something and decided they don't agree with it).
