Association
I think you can tell a lot about a person by the friends they keep. There’s this guy at my gym, who I really thought might be a pretty decent guy. We started the old gym song and dance to meet someone. Starts by eye contact for a few weeks, then moves on to smiling, then the “Hi”, then the “Working your legs today I see”, and yada yada yada. We hadn’t gotten to yada yada yada yet, when I noticed he hangs out with Ape-Arms (you might also remember him from this post).
It’s not that these 2 work out together, which would be acceptable. It would tell me that this guy hangs with Ape-Arms to get some work out tips or something. But after his work out, him and Ape-Arms chill together on the bench in front of the gym. Now, I can’t help but think that this guy is just like Ape-Arms, which makes me want to roll my eyes and walk away.
Moral of the story: Don’t hang out with idiots.
