Pretty much this. Except, I’m not a girl, I’m a woman. The other day I realized that I’m almost alway the only female in the free weights area in my gym. I’m okay with that. I’m used to being around mostly men. I’ve also noticed that most of the women who work at my gym are completely rude and unfriendly. If I had employees who treated people like that, first they’d be re-trained, then reprimanded, and fired, if need be. In a people-oriented business, your number one goal should be friendliness. And that should probably be your goal in life in general. 😀 Just be nice. Simple as that. I was once told by a guy at the gym that insecure women find me intimidating. Ha! Yeah, I’m really scary with my smile and “hello”. 😉
Here’s my motto: the success of every woman should be an inspiration to another. We should raise each other up.
I was thinking that I haven’t made much progress in my training, and then I got out this table that lists strength goals for women.
I am in the advanced or elite section in every exercise. Within the last 5 months alone, I’ve gone from zero to 10 consecutive pull-ups. I now have a better appreciation for my progress. Perspective is priceless.
This is my “virtual” strength coach and mentor, Kellie. She is an amazing, positive, supportive woman. She’s also a badass who can deadlift 330 pounds! I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to do that much, but you never know. 😉 Goals!
This made me laugh so hard!

Insecure women feel threatened by a woman like you. You are confident, beautiful, and kind. You could be as sweet as honey (as you usually are) but it still wouldn’t matter. It’s them, not you! I pity people who act like this as they must feel awful inside.

You’re correct. I feel sorry for people who are hateful. What a terrible life they must lead.
