So I started jogging because I'm not exactly in shape. Since yesterday was fairly cool I donned a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, then jogged around the park. It was 8 in the morning. And I got honked at -- not once, not twice, but THREE times!
Now I hate to be the big-bad-feminist here, but I think guys honking at girls from their cars is one of my biggest pet peeves. Do they really think it's a compliment? Because it isn't. It's perverted, actually. They could be old and wrinkled, crusty and nasty. Even if they were young and hot, I still wouldn't want to screw them. They're strangers, for pete's sake. I was jogging, not in a singles bar. Don't I have the right to jog in peace? I've been followed before -- yes, that's right, followed. A guy in a black Pontiac pulled up next to the curb and drove very slowly until my friend and I cut across school lot and a stripmall to get away from him. I don't want to be jogging and have to worry about some guy following me back to my house! And I live in a good neighborhood.

Hehehe....

That happens to me ALL the time... It does get really annoying, but there is nothing you can really do about it... I know its hard, but try to take it as a compliment, someone thinks your hot, even if they are being a total jerk about it... Normally if you ignore them they give up and go away... Don't talk to them cause then they get this crazy idea in their head that "you want them so bad"... they can't help it, it's just how guys are. lol.. but don't worry, not all guys are like that... Oh, and if some nut job does follow you like that again, you did the right thing, get away from them.... crazy bastards... guys these days...... Peace for the joggers please!!!!

Are you ugly? I myself don't do that as I applaud those who intend to keep themselves fit. However, one day while my friend and I were driving to the mall, we passed this one girl jogging who seemed a bit 'big,' for her age and the first thing out of his mouth was, "look at that fat bitch." He honked the horn right as we passed her. It wasn't a compliment, you see.

Now, if the guy rolled down the window and SAID something to you, then maybe he thought you were cute. I don't know, I don't do that kind of shit, but I'm just taking a guess. But yeah, if you're ugly, out of shape, and trying to jog, go to a gym.

Horrible thing to say, but this is America, damn it. Image, image, image. Ain't got it? Hide till you do.

Malone

How do you expect her to answer that?

If she's ugly, with a timid no. I wouldn't have brought to light the question had I not seen "do guys thing this is a compliment?"

There's no need to be nice when you can be candid. Honesty makes a person stronger. They were probably laughing at her, and hey, she deserves to know.

Malone

She's cute. Click her blog link.

I only fall for a girls looks once she has snagged my imagination, but from an objective stance, she's neither ugly nor attractive, in MY opinion (which also means, "this doesn't count for shit").

Anyways, she's not fat, so there goes that idea. This leaves but one answer: The honkers were disturbed honkys. Still, I say jog at a gym. I used to love jogging around my neighborhood, but now with the temperature beating down like a fucking hammer, I just get up at two, wash, eat, read for a bit, then head to the gym.

Morning jogs suck. And dear God I can't think straight. Or write. Hmm.

You're not in the road, are you?

Give these guys a break. They're lonely, tired, and hungry.

They should have their horns forcibly removed.

I'm just surprised you can jog without killing your knees. I can walk or I can sprint but I hate jogging.

Try jogging on grass if you can, Foxee. You might find it a bit easier on your legs and knees.

Foxee

I've tried that, Besh, but I just don't like jogging, period. Ugh.

Heh, I can understand that. I prefer riding a bike, but going for a jog can be alright sometimes. Just thought it was worth a mention.
