Friendships as well as romances are formed in gyms all the time....its usually happens over time seeing the same people over and over and forming a common bond enough so that a conversation is no longer a cringe thing.
Be careful now, let's not offend those who are seeking so hard to be offended.
Its never ok to look at anyone at the gym, don't-ya-know?
Wait, am I the offended one?
😂
Wait. What the heck am *I* laughing at?1 -

I've been in the gym for more than a decade, i've never seen 3, 4 or 5, not even once. Maybe it's the demographics of my area, it's different than the US.0 -
Tell ya...I'm here to support and be supported. But I'm struggling to feel for someone offended by being looked at or making eye contact who's out in public unless it prolonged or repetitive. Sheesh... If it's a problem I'm not sure it's theirs.0

Eye contact isn’t offensive. Taking it as a sign to initiate further contact might be.3 -

You're not allowed to tell people what is and isn't offensive. Only the media can do that.4 -

Glances and eye contact don’t equal staring and ogling do they? I think eye contact is something that lots of people do throughout their days. Imo, being “stared at” by someone (unless you’re getting ready to get it on or something) is always uncomfortable.
For the record if I’m “catching a glance” in a gym setting I’m gonna 100% think they are thinking “WTF is she doing?!”2 -

The obvious exception here is that when you get a burger and fries and your date orders a pile of weeds, any eye contact at all means an invitation to share the fries1 -

I ain't wrong, I'm just different but my pride won't let me
Do things to make you think I'm right
I reckon OleTrobadour will get this, but most of you metrosexuals won't have a clue.
It's ok, I love all y'all anyway.

Ok. I won’t be 😁I actually prefer being told what to do. (It’s why I go to a gym that orders me around and everyone is dying and not even able to look anyone else in the eye.)3 -
