Hitting The Showers

I just got back from the gym and had some unexpected fun.

I work out in the afternoon so the gym I go to is rarely crowded.  Today was no exception with no more than 15 or so people working out.  The gym isn't one of those large chains that you find in every city, but a locally owned gym owned by a middle age couple that I have met and know on a first name basis.  It's not very large but has all of the basics that one needs to stay in shape.  It being smaller is one of the reasons I like it.  I generally like to people watch as I work out and in a smaller gym you get to know your surroundings, meet people, and it's just more of an overall personal experience.

I was half way through my workout when I saw this middle age woman who looked to be around 45 or so.  She appeared to not really understand how the machine she was using worked and as I was watching her this tall, young kid came up to her and proceeded to show her how to do the exercise.  This kid was probably around 6'2", not beefy, but not skinny either.  He was white and he had a baby face on him.  He looked to be around 18 or 19.  He was most likely either a senior in high school or a freshman in college. 

I am not attracted to younger guys in general.  As I've gotten older I find that I am attracted to guys close to my age.  So when I was in my 20s I generally played with guys in their 20s also, and now that I'm in my 40s I play around with guys around my age.  Although I keep to my own age it doesn't stop me from noticing at times how incredibly sexy some of these young guys are.  I'm not sure what it was about this kid, but it was something about how young he looked and yet here he was at least a couple of inches over six feet tall.  It was that strange look of youth and masculinity that only hangs around for a few years as boys turn into men.
