Why do men show off at the gym when they see a girl?

I was working out today and this guy sees me, makes eye contact, and goes right in front of me to do his chest workout.

It was almost like he pushed himself more because he knew I was right there!

Boost of testosterone? Could be. :smiley:

Everyone has been in this situation

    Goes both ways. I've also seen girls do glute stretches in the weight lifting area.

    We're all just animals... same concept as certain birds puffing out their chest to attract a pretty female bird. Birds and the bees darling... take it as a compliment.

    He's just showing you his feathers young'un. You should be happy that your plumage is in demand.

    After being eyeballed by a dude for an hour in the gym, he later stood directly in front of me in the locker room, dropped his towel, just to completely bend over and pick it up. Unfortunately women have never shown me this kind of affection. Gay men hit on me far more than women :neutral_face:

    He was probably just doing his workout and you were in his way while you fantasized he was hitting on you

    Maybe she was in front of the mirror?
