Personal Trainers

I was talking to a friend earlier about personal trainers and one in particular at the gym that all the girls seem to go crazy over. Is it because he's hot? He's got a nice body, and he's cute and all, but why do girls go into the locker room and giggle about him? (I swear, I saw that happen once) The guy is like 12 years old. I'm exaggerating, he's like 22 or 23. OK so here is this young trainer and I've seen 20-something girls as well as 50-something women swoon over this guy.

From there, the conversation turned to trainer crushes. It makes sense that somebody would develop a crush on their trainer. Most trainers at least have a hot body, but I think it probably has more to do with the intimacy of the relationship and the attention.

Seriously, Dan the trainer knows more about me than I'm sure he wants to. He has seen me at my best and at my worst. He's seen me happy and he's seen me crying my eyes out (HAHA, twice actually. Poor guy). He's seen me have an asthma attack (he may have even caused it). Dan has witnessed me dripping with sweat, adjusting my sports bra. He's seen me in nice clothes with my hair and make-up done and he's seen me 15 minutes after I've rolled out of bed on a Sunday morning, still smelling of Bacardi and cigarettes. That's a pretty intimate relationship, but what really clinches it is that Dan has seen me on the scale. Me, the nurse at my doctor's office and Dan know how much I weigh. Add to that the fact that once a week his job is to pay attention to me.

Intimacy and attention. Isn't that all we want anyway? Even if we have to pay for it? Does this make Dan some sort of man whore?

I'd totally do him.
