Area Man Ironically Attempts to Find Human Connection at Gym

Tampa, FL - In an effort to be funny, and not because of a lack of true friends and a deep feeling of loneliness and existential angst as he enters middle age, Tampa resident Steve Boston ironically attempted to forge a human connection with a fellow gym-goer earlier today.

"Did you guys see that," Boston asked. "I totally trolled that guy that gave me a spot on bench press by asking if he wanted to hang out or maybe go grab a beer sometime. No homo. That was hilarious, right? I totally don't even care that he said he was busy."

Boston, who moved to the Tampa area from Phoenix after a divorce in 2019, works full time as an electrician and lives in a studio apartment in Seminole Heights. According to the three-time Trump voter and Yellowstone fan, the gym is a great place to get some exercise and to just have fun. "I'm one of those people that doesn't need friends or even anyone to talk to. You sure won't see me crying during that part of A League of Their Own, at the end, when they all get back together and find out who died. So do you have another assignment, or are you done for the day?"
