I love the fitness club I go to. Aside from the fact that it’s a women’s only club (no sweaty jocks), normal people work out there. I don’t like working out next to women with tight butts who eat carrot sticks all day long. I much prefer the women who, like me, just need to [...]
Be warned: what you see here is not my best work.
