All timer gym story

Today I went to the gym over lunch, like most other days. I was doing dumbell pullovers when a petite woman who I would shortly found out was 44 started up a conversation.

She said something about working out and how she wasn’t young like me. I said I don’t feel that young which in turn lead to her telling me her age and I told her mine. She then made a comment about “At least you don’t have a debilitating disease…” Then in the next 10 minutes or so I found out the following background from this woman, without me making any effort to extract any information from her.

She has MS, had it for 14 years
She takes 4 types of medicine a day it costs 1000 a month, she is lucky she is with a rich man
She used to be an athlete, could run 5 minute miles
She was an artist, she made a lot of money with her art, she can’t do her art anymore because of the MS
Got married once when she was 16, divorced at 20, married again at 26 divorced at 30, currently in a 16 year relationship with a man but is not married.
The man she is married to is 60
She has a 10 year old son
Her son is “good looking like you” (me)
Her boyfriend is filty rich, he owns 6 McDonald’s, they have 2 Rolls Royce’s, A Ferrari and an Avalanche to name a few of their vehicles. They also own many houses.
She has a 6’8″ 300 lb nephew that went to an all black school to play football even though he never played football before.
In their home up north they have a smaller house in front of their bigger house. She said that will be her son’s “get lucky” house when he is older.
She used to do fox hunts
She can no longer drive, she got to the gym on a push scooter.
She tries to stay in shape, she think she doesn’t look too bad for her age
She was smart and had a kid with her boyfriend
She said since she isn’t married she can cheat as long as she doesn’t get caught.

I am not exagerrating and there are probably a few things I missed. All the time she is talking I am trying to continue with my workout without being rude. I am doing my sets and she just keeps talking away. Plus she was loud so everyone in the immediate area could hear what she was saying. In a nutshell, I got the impression she was looking for me to volunteer to be her boytoy. Since I had my lifting gloves on she could not see my wedding ring. Finally I got away because I had to go work another bodypart. She went to the lockerroom and then came back out and tried to start up again but I only minimally engaged her and continued on my workout. It was funny as hell. The one guy that was nearby could not believe the stuff she was saying. I’ve never been solicited at the gym before. I felt bad for the lady because she has MS but never expected her to go where she did. Crazy.
