    I'll throw in my 2 cents.
    I am intimidated by anyone at the gym who looks fit, because I don't. That's just me.
    I go to get fit and lose weight, and it helps me to have no one in my peripheral vision distracting my thoughts.

    I am very self concious and when theres a fit person right next to me on a treadmill running fast when I'm just walking, or can only maintain a jog for a couple minutes, then I find in my mind I am comparing myself unfavourably to them.
    Then I feel bad about myself. If I feel bad, I'm not going to want to stay and keep working out, I'll want to leave.
    It is certainly easier to pick a machine with no one on either side. Out of sight, out of mind.
    I know I am obese and unfit, I don't need to be reminded while I'm working out.

    I don't care who is next to me as long as they are working hard. If I see the person next to me working their butt off, it motivates me to work out even harder. My best workouts is when I am trying to do better than the person next to me.

    I need a lot of personal space. I'm not a team player.

    Well, that's understandable if they're all up in your face like that, but I meant just common courtesy haha.

    It's like you don't sit next to someone on the bus where there are free benches. Just no. Give people space if you can.

    I just don't want anyone to think I would like to chat. If I put space in between, there is no chance some random person will want to chat at the gym. I am there to workout, not talk.

    I go to the gym at work, so I have to work with most of the people I see at the gym. Mostly men. Okay - all men. I go to the gym and get a good workout. If I'm on the treadmill, I'm sweaty. I don't want the dude I have to tell his database design sux to saddle-up next to me while trying to maintain an 85% Max HR.

    I also know they all creep me when I'm there. I don't care. Enjoy the commando under my running tights and sports bra.

    I'll kick their a$$es.

    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

    so why do you care? Doesn't this contradict your original post?

    put it this way, i learned a long time ago to recognise the emotionally crippled, insecure and inadequate women who are so uptight the mere use of a running belt at the side of them by a man is enough to trigger resentment, never mind those that cant cope with friendly conversation without recognising it for just that - and it never ceases to amaze me how far up their own butts women can be and there s little wonder they get angry and resentful when rejected if they think the mere presence of or conversation with a male signifies a play for them.

    If i chose to run next to a woman its usually to nose at her callories burned distance and time left and marvel at the fact she doesnt look half as fit as i do, but is obviously so as there s no way i'll keep up !!!!
