Just had the most awkward moment at a gym in my life

I just got done working out at 24 Hour Fitness Long Beach (Long Beach is heavily populated with gay people)

Was in the locker room changing and had my shirt off, looked over and some creepy guy in his 40s or 50s was staring right at me. I looked back a few seconds later and saw him still looking at me discretely. I assumed he was gay and it went on the entire time and I stopped changing and put my shirt on and just looked at my phone until he left because it was way too *kitten* uncomfortable.

After walking out of the locker room, I looked over to the end of the gym and this guy is still fixated on me as I'm walking out while he's sitting on a machine. Creeped me the phuck out. I don't have a problem with gays but there's nothing more uncomfortable when they look at you while changing in the locker room.

    So why didn't you say something? I woulda been like "Hi, can I help you?"
    Also, how do you know he's gay? Maybe he wanted to look swole and wanted advice. Or maybe he was a Herbalife salesman.

    Well he was looking at the OP so obviously he had to be gay.

    If he wasn't I would have figured he would have said something to me or not stared for so long

    I've been lifting at public gyms for about 7 years now so I can confirm he wasn't just "looking at me"

    Bi only works for chicks, as a dude, once you swing that way the deal's done.

    OP, next time tell him the show ain't free, give your shorts a little pull and tell him to start stuffing dollar bills, he'll either leave you alone or pay you for the awkwardness.

    Oh boy; I love awkward gym situations! :laugh:

    I was once lifting and strained a bit harder than I should've and let one 'go' by accident. All the boys casually shuffled out of the room :embarassed: And then the cute physiotherapist guy saw me staring at him.

    Whooooops. Wasn't supposed to make it that obvious, was I? :noway:
