"Do any hot girls come in here?"

Does this guy not have the internet or something? Seems like a better way to get your gawk on without coming off as a giant douchebucket.

You sound like a Planet Fitness commercial. Seriously, you just stereotyped him because he had a gallon jug of water? What exactly is wrong with people who carry around a gallon jug of water in the gym? The guys I know who do that are competitors in strongman or bodybuilding competitions. There is nothing wrong with it and I really don't appreciate you implying that all guys with a jug of water are boneheaded *kitten*, ok?

OP, you have been told.

I don't get it?

Some bloke (who sounds rather young) comes up to you and starts a conversation which I suspect most young guys would do "Watch the game last night? Any hot women work out around here? Is double clutching a good idea?" and he's now some kind of stalking pervert?

Seriously?

Ugh, I know what a much of D'bags.

I was overhearing these two girls at the gym the other day. The one said she was wondering why there were so many creepy guys in here, and if there was any "cute" ones. Then she said she was going to tone her arms.

I was about two seconds away from marching over to her and kicking her in the teeth, but then she went into a zumba class,and me and zumba are like matter and antimatter, so I just waited outside the door to talk to her for 10 minutes, but I got tired of waiting and I needed to finish off my last set of curls, 5 sets of 50 reps each. At least I could feel like I accomplished my workout.

Haha! That's like the other day I'm over in the weight room, in my corner doing my arm circuit. Complete a set of bent over rows, turn to put my weights down and there's a guy seatd on the bench directly behind me (no one was there when I started the set) blatantly staring at my tush. Thanks for the compliment as I worked hard to get it to look that way.... but can you stop looking at it like you're going to bite it please??

I liked the kids that would come in with their gallon of water, complete three exercises, come up to the counter for their post-workout shake and inform me that they needed protein after their workout.... dude.... you worked out for about 10 minutes, here's some water.

Well...I don't see the big deal. Although it's not my motivation, I don't see anything wrong with getting in shape to attract the gender you're attracted to.

I think people get too caught up in labeling everyone with different value systems a "*kitten*". Different personalities make the world go round.

My first week at work at my recent job, I asked my trainer (who's around my age - a tad younger) which guys were single, so that when I flirt, it won't be with someone taken. Am I coming to work in order to flirt with the hot guys? No, but it sure is motivation to have single eye candy around. LOL

Sounds like a nice guy, was obviously concerned about what women really want and willing to put his time and effort into being pleasing for them! He must have been asking about the hot girls so he could offer to train them so the creepy guys wouldnt bother them while they work out.

Upstanding citizen!

My friend and I were using the squat rack and this guy is looking at us. He asked us a few harmless questions, one being "Are you sisters". Afterwards, I was alone waiting for my shake, the same guy approaches me, puts his hand on my shoulder, gets real close to my ear and says "I had a conversation with your boyfriend and he knows in the heart of hearts that he is just not good enough for you". I picked his hand up off my shoulder and said "Nice try buddy but I am married". He says "your husband is a lucky man" and walks away.
Are you kidding me????? Not only are you hitting on me at the gym, touching me, invading my personal space but you are also insulting my "boyfriend". Did this guy really think that was going to work???

I am in complete shock. I cannot believe a young man wanted to know if there were hot women. That is awful. Why isn't he in church or doing his homework?

Women. Know what that leads to.... marriage. Know what that leads to...... wanting to punch the same person in the face everyday for 16 consecutive years. At least I think....I mean, I'm not talking about me.

Carry on.

Do you enjoy your bit of brain lightly sauteed with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

Thank you for wiping any unsure thoughts about my decision to work out at home! I know that men stare. Gym, hardware store, Denny's. Wherever. But I just feel much more vulnerable at the gym. I hate the idea of someone watching me when my face is all red, I smell bad, and I'm in my gross oversized tank top with the coffee stains on it.

I am starting to think I am especially fugly, because I'm rarely stared at, at least that I notice. But I go to Denny's maybe once every 5 years and I haven't been to a hardware store since ever, so maybe I'm just hanging at the wrong places.

I do apologize for insulting the "water juggers" i guess we can call them. I have no issue with people who are seriously there to work out and dont want to keep interrupting their work out with pit stops to the bubbler. However, this was not a guy doing that, he came in and after our quick conversation, went tanning and then did 3 ab work outs and left. Does anyone really need a gallon of water for 30 crunches and a few trunk twists?

Also, I never said that he was a boneheaded *kitten*. I was talking about a particular person, labeling his individual characteristics. I don't remember saying "Carrying his gallon jug of water like those muscle bound *kitten* clowns in a string tank top grunting at the reflection in the mirror like boneheaded *kitten*.." Although, I guess i just did, however, I hadn't before that.
I assure you I did not mean to insult actual gym users / body builder types, there are a few that go to the gym here that I quite enjoy talking to.

I also would like to apologize to anyone else who may have been offended by this, it was simply me venting about a rare case I encountered while at work and was trying to vent / make light of the situation and entertain others. Next time I will post about clean eating or Hot or Not's.

Nothing's guaranteed to work, but he thought it might. People don't make bold moves like that, without a reasonable track record of past success.

The fact that it didn't work on you this time is irrelevant, since there's always someone else. And, he left it open for you to come back to him in the future, if you changed your mind. He has no idea if you're married or not, happily or not. That's why he asked.

Dumb would be glancing at you and not saying anything. and then hoping you come and ask him out. *That's* guaranteed not to work.

It's not a reason to stay away. Yeah. You may get some glances here and there. The creepers like are mentioned in the OP are vary rare. At my gym, we have a nice little friendly community. I may not know a lot of their real names, but we all know each other. Most of us stick to working out, with the occasional nod or smile at each other. Some will stop and talk for a few seconds, but most just do their workout, and leave well enough alone.

As for being redfaced, sweaty, and smelly... We all are. There are the occasional "parrots" who just like to come in and show off their bright and color coordinated outfits like plumage, and just sit around and flirt, but they are usually just there in the evenings, and are more annoying for being in the way than they are critical of people working out.

Personally, I see someone (male or female, fat, skinny, whatever) who is hot and sweaty, and straining to get through their workout, I admire them for the effort that they are putting into getting fit.

hmm. nothing wrong with that.

True! I was uncomfortable with it and for me, married or single, it would never work but I definitely see your point!

Z_I_L_L_A

I think the guy was meaning the women that come to the gym wearing make up and all dressed to the T to attract men. Not the ones that actually workout. And its not like women don't creep at the gym too, but they do.

BluejayNY

And this is why being single terrifies me. Ok not the single part, but why I may decide to die alone.

with a skin tone that would make an oompa loompa jealous

I'm intrigued. What skin tone makes oompa loompas jealous?

Just curious - not a trap.

Have a male friend workout with you and the guys won't creep on ya. I have a friend(female) that tells me that the men are to scared to creep on her while she is there working out with me. They think she is taken,lol.

I would have played dumb and said no we discourage children from working out and anyone with a fever of a 100 or more degrees should not be working out.

Just as much as he is a tool, there are that many toolettes out there that look for people like him.

I need a little mini-you to sit on my shoulder and whisper comebacks in my ear all day. :flowerforyou:

If he slipped you $20 I'm sure you would have pointed a few out.

The nice thing is that YOU are a man and you knew what he as saying was rude. At least that's proof that there are good guys out there lookin' out for the ladies.

Thanks
