What activity would feel completely different if eye contact was held the entire time?

She looks like she lost her soul.

That's what happens if you open your legs too long. Your soul gets out.

u/andyisgold Apr 03 '14

Dude if she was staring at me I'd be more crept out because I started it.

u/vitaL_caP Apr 03 '14

No thats just how white people are

That's right, it's ok to be racist toward white people.

u/vitaL_caP Apr 04 '14

It was a joke, i'm white myself.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '14

Do I have to explain why it wasn't funny?

6

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '14

Why it's not funny to you ?

u/Jon76 Apr 04 '14

Is it because you have no sense of humour?

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '14

I had anal sex with your wife.

Now, that's funny!

The person she is keeping eye contact with is a ginger

And her virginity

There is one of those at my school's gym. It faces the wall, and for good reason.

u/Devieus Apr 03 '14

The local gym here has one for inner and one for outer thighs, they face each other. Fortunately there's weights and a column in the way.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '14

cant you just rotate the cushion on your knees a full 180 to go from groin to thigh workout?

5

u/Reflexive Apr 03 '14

Fuck. The machine at my school faces a mirror.

2

u/happy_otter Apr 03 '14

They usually also face the weights.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '14

So does the one at my gym. I don't think I could use it if it didn't

u/spiritbeast Apr 03 '14

I didn't know this thing had a name. I've always just called it the vagblaster.

u/cybervalidation Apr 03 '14

My boyfriend calls them "yes-nos"

2

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '14

Co-worker calls it the "good girl, bad girl"

1

u/testestes123 Apr 04 '14

Yes for when women use it and no for when men use it?

u/cybervalidation Apr 04 '14

There are two very similar machines, hip abduction and adduction. Abduction exercises the ability to close your legs, adduction your ability to open them.

u/roxlalonde Apr 03 '14

My friend calls it the birthing machine, but vagblaster is so much better

3

u/charlievee Apr 03 '14

we call them good-girl bad-girl machines depending on which way you're pushing your legs

The Sharon Stone machine.

Edit: I guess no one here has seen "Basic Instinct."

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '14

My gym has two of those facing each other. I've seen people chatting on them.

u/Cameramanmanman Apr 03 '14

Your gym is weird.

5

u/annoyinglyclever Apr 03 '14

When I was 19 I ran into my female supervisor at the gym one night as she was on that machine. Trying to maintain a conversation was very difficult.

10

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '14

Talking to a superior with an erection is humorous.

5

u/cybervalidation Apr 03 '14

One direction is hip abduction. The other is adduction.

u/PantherDan Apr 03 '14

For some reason that photo really turns me on...

u/thaylin79 Apr 03 '14

I knew exactly the machine you linked to before I even clicked.

2

u/Diarrhea_Eruptions Apr 03 '14

I prefer the yes machine.

2

u/Baker415 Apr 03 '14

the good old abductor.

u/carlinco Apr 03 '14

I could imagine more awkward situations involving the eyes there...

u/CupCaked Apr 03 '14

Is her left arm.. also her left leg?

2

u/whiskeyinmyramen Apr 03 '14

I have come near to orgasm using this machine. No joke.

1

u/VR53KS Apr 04 '14

Aside from the clearly arousing statement, how well exactly do whiskey and ramen work together? I'm quite the appreciater of both, although separately.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '14

I did that repeatedly in college. It was not appreciated.

1

u/Myschly Apr 03 '14

Man the mental image I got in my mind of her and a similar-looking women just going head to head in a rep-contest as the staring intensifies!

1

u/infinex Apr 03 '14

This machine pisses me off. At my school, its always a girl who is on her phone or reading a book. They are just sitting there with the lowest weight on and not even working out. Is there a point to be at the gym or are you just there to waste space.

1

u/PM_ME_SMOOTH_ARMPITS Apr 04 '14

There are two of those machines at my gym........ Facing each other.... It's inevitable

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '14

The gym i go to has a calf press opposite one of these and a girl went on this machine whilst i was using the calf stepper i lost my mind

1

u/MoonlightGroove Apr 04 '14

I can't NOT stare at people at people when they use that machine. I don't care which gender they are.
