why, if there are about 30 pieces of cardio equipment just like mine available, would people get on the machines right next to me? we live in America, and although we bathe regularly, we don't like being next to people unless there is no other option. my fabulous good looks and superior intelligence aren't going to make you more popular or a better person. it doesn't work via osmosis.
