I’m a cute gym girl – people assume I ‘get hit on’ during workouts but I have a permanent condition that keeps me safe
FOR some singles, the local gym is a perfect place to meet potential partners, but others find mid-workout flirting annoying.
One woman said people assume she gets hit on during her fitness routine, but she has a secret weapon – and it’s not her muscles.
Fitness fanatic Lexi Kinney (@lexi.kinneyy), 19, is a master at smiling and posing for the camera.
But it doesn’t come naturally. In fact, some people make assumptions about her when they see her face at rest, she revealed in a video.
Prior to her workout, Kinney filmed herself in the mirror at her gym.
She smiled sweetly, dressed in workout shorts and a big T-shirt that looked comfortable and cute.
In the caption, she wrote a comment she hears often from people in her life.
“You probably get hit on at the gym,” concerned friends and fans would tell her.
But in the next second, Kinney poked fun at herself and revealed her secret weapon.
She caught herself on camera in between sets, sitting on a piece of equipment with a scowl on her face.
With her brows furrowed and her mouth in a slight frown, Kinney didn’t look as though she’d welcome flirtation.
In the comment section, she labeled this her RBF, or “resting b***h face.”
She addressed the expression for her followers who worried something bad had happened and upset her.
“I was literally zoned out, looking out a window,” she explained. “Just have a major RBF for no reason.”
Other women said they felt “seen” by Kinney’s honest depiction of herself.
“I’m not mean,” one commenter insisted. “I’m just in pain at the gym.”
Another said she suffered the same issue, regardless of circumstance.
“My WORST habit. That’s why I have no friends,” she sobbed, adding in crying emojis for emphasis.
“I look like I’m going through something. I’m just in the zone,” a third follower confessed.
Knowing that Kinney wasn’t angry or in pain, some men took her video as a chance to flirt.
“Aye, you still cute, though,” a potential suitor said.
A different commenter immediately labeled him “starving.”
“I don’t care what anyone says, she looks so fine,” another man wrote.
One swore he was “building up the courage” to approach grumpy-looking gym girls like Kinney.
In the video’s description, Kinney added that she still faces come-ons from strangers occasionally.
But one gym class hero reminded his fellow viewers that the gym is not the place for romance, and finding love shouldn’t be a priority.
“Women are now,” he said. “Gains are forever.”
