Have to distance themselves? I mean I like to walk on the elliptical next to someone, it makes me feel better having someone near. Like we are a team?

    Or taking a walk in the forest, holding hands. It could be beautiful if only she'd let it. :cry:

    They don't know your intentions. Do you only do this with attractive females? Maybe they think you're hitting on them.

    It creeps me out to have a guy on the elliptical right next to me. I mean, what's he doing? If he's behind me I assume he's mirin, but next to me...? Just wrong!

    I go to the gym to TRAIN not to pick up a date. I got a good woman at home so that category is filled. I go for one reason and that is to improve my physique

    Fair enough. People always think I'm hitting on them if I stand too close, or make eye contact. Sometimes I'm just not aware of what I'm doing. Now I have to act like a douche so they will know I'm not attracted to them. Try to stand two treadmills away :tongue:

    If your true intention is to improve your physique then you should have no problem standing next to a dude.

    I have same problem ever since I lost weight and acquired all these muscles I have to tell them that they can't have my man meat. I have to wear a sign telling then to step off.

    Hmm, I never move off my machines until I'm done with them. I don't care WHO is eyeballing them or me. MY MACHINE, MY TIME. As long as I'm not talked to, I won't pretend I don't speak a peep of English.

    If I'm approached.. "Que???"

    To be fair, I don't like to be near anyone, but that's just me. I'm not exactly a confidence machine at the gym, so i prefer to stick to myself...in that bike at the corner by the window, hahaha

    I like connecting to people in the gym too.
    Once I went and spotted this guy on bench press. His girlfriend did not appreciate it.

    Apparently you're supposed to be standing at the end of the bench, as opposed to sitting on the guy's lap. Who knew?

    She's conceited and thinks you are going to try and poke her with your cucumber. She is playing hard to get.

    Why aren't there more women like you at the gym, it would be so much more motivating! haha

    This entire thread totally illustrates what's wrong with the way that society tells genders they should interact.

    Women? Assume that any man wanting to talk to you is only doing so because he finds you attractive and wants to go out with you. Or have sex with you. Probably both, so if he's talking to you or nearby, kick him to the curb, because you don't want to look "easy" by associating with him. You also should avoid him even if you do like him, because he'll appreciate that you're playing "hard to get", and take it as a sign that he should try harder.

    Men? Assume that any woman wanting to walk to you is only doing so because she finds you attractive and wants to go out with you. Maybe have sex with you, but that will only be after you convince her that you're worthwhile and after the point where she could be seen as "easy". So talk to them if you really think they are attractive and would have sex with them, and keep doing so even when they rebuke you, because obviously they're just not wanting to seem easy but could really be into you.

    Don't take it personal... chances are that it has nothing to do with you. Esthetics are important to us girls/women.... and to imagine that we stink and you are close enough to notice.... well, that is just too mortifying to think about.... so we move.

    I'm speculating..... I workout at the gym at work and I don't have the luxury to distance myself..... and that is my one concern.... and I don't just workout with these folks.... I work with them, too!
