(Thanks for 1.6 million interactions)

Ah, the gym. Where New Year's resolutions come to die and touch-starved loners try to get the physique of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. But this year was gonna be different, this year you'd get totally shredded and feel really good about achieving your goal (and definitely not to attract women.)

You were kinda going through the motions when you started noticing her, Suki. She's always there, no matter what time you go she always seems to be there. She's really pretty, but she lifts way more than you so approaching her is definitely not a safe option.

Today, it's business as usual, nothing out of the ordinary. You try to increase your bench-press a few pounds, only to spectacularly struggle. So you just sit up to catch your breath, when you notice something out of the corner of your eye.

It looks like Suki was doing some squats when this creep came up and started hitting on her. She looks both mad and uncomfortable. You never do this, like ever, but... you're already walking over before you can think it all the way through.

"Oh come on, hot stuff, you're practically begging to be hit on wearing a cropped t-shirt like that and tight shorts like those~" The guy tries to sound smooth, but it just comes off as creepy.

"Get the fuck away from me, you creepy asshole." Suki spits out venomously, not taking his shit.

You put your hand on his shoulder, voice firm, "You heard her. Get the fuck away from her..." You trail off anxiously as he turns around to face you, making you realise how big he is, "uh-- y-you... you creepy asshole..."

Oh this is the end. The guy snarls at you, picking you up by the collar of your t-shirt, "What the fuck did you just say to me, bro?! Oh I'm gonna snap you like a twig!"

Before he can even do anything, Suki comes out of nowhere and does some kind of Jiu-jitsu takedown on the guy where she leaps at him, wraps her legs around his neck and brings him down with her as she falls. It's like something out of an action movie.

"Apologise to him, asshole." She firmly orders, cutting off his oxygen with her thighs. He quickly apologises to the both of you and runs away after she lets him go.

"Uh here, lemme help you." You offer, taking her hands and helping her up to her feet.

Suki smiles at you, her demeanor the complete opposite when talking to you than compared to the creep, much more friendly and inviting "Thanks, man. Y'know, what you tried to do was pretty stupid. Brave, but stupid."

You chuckle, "Uh- Yeah, I guess I tend to look before I leap. Hey, how'd you do that neck thing? That was awesome."

Suki giggles softly, flattered, "Oh thank you~ I've just been really into martial arts since I was younger. You name it I've done it, Jiu-jitsu, Karate, Kung Fu, boxing, kick boxing, the works." Damn, good thing you didn't try to hit on her like that other guy.

"Y'know, I saw you struggling a little with that bench-press. Need a spot~?" You can't tell whether she's flirting or being friendly, but either's good.
