    I think they neglected my type. I'm the anti-social guy who pretends he doesn't see / hear anyone who tries to talk to him even though I am not wearing headphones. I go to the gym 5 nights per week, always from around midnight til 2am. There are always the same dozen or so people in there. They have all become friends and chat quite often. They try to start conversations with me but I just can't be social when I'm working out. It's not in my DNA. After the workout is fine, but I'm usually the last one out of there. They must think I'm a complete prick.

    I'm a combo:
    1) Sweaty Guy: But I found combination of Dri-Weave materials that hide it very well plus I'll towel my forehead between sets. I keep head/wrist bands around in case I need them, but rarely use while strength training; cardio is a whole 'nother story though.
    2) Water Guy: I bring a 28 oz bottle with me and sip between exercises because of #1 above.

    I guess I am a bit of water guy too, but it's really survival at my gym. I do about an hour of weight followed by 20+ minutes of intense cardio. And my gym has exactly ZERO water fountains. Yes, that's right... zero water fountains. They set it up so you have to purchase bottles of water from them, which is awesome except that the gym isn't staffed overnight so there is no access to water. I have seen people... grown adult men... christ I can't even type this without wincing.... I have seen people fill water bottles from the manky sink in the bathroom. The tiny bathroom. They will be filling a water bottle from a filthy sink while someone takes a **** in the stall 4 feet from them. That's just.... ALL THE NOPE!

    Serious question... because there is one Hunter / Gatherer, or as I refer to them Hoarders, at every gym. How do y'all deal with that guy? How much bigger than you does he have to be for you to let that happen on the regular?

    I think they SHOWED how to deal with him, but it entails talking to others. Get others to agree it's gone on too long and then safety in numbers you go grab what you need. He can't catch ALL of you.

    I'm NONE of them b/c apparently only guys do stereotypical things at the gym. There were no female gym stereotypes represented ...I'm offended.
