    No one has ever...ever hit on me while I was working out. The only things that took me by surprise was when one guy decided to randomly show me how to lift better. Haha...

    The other time a guy just said I was doing a killer arm routine, then proceeded to ask me if I was going to add in other specific moves to it.

    But...that is it. I don't think there are many creepers at the gym in my neighborhood. That, or I just don't attract creepers.

    They were trying to make conversation with you is all. So I guess it is all in how you perceive creepiness.
    Into my car, girly. -has roomy backseat-
    Mmmmm -creepy eyes-

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
    Okay, that's off my chest.
    And people wonder why I carry a knife.

    I always carry a knife too!
    But no one sees me so I'm probably safe haha.

    Most I've had is smiles from women and stares from guys, but nothing more! Clearly I'm not sporting it up enough in the gym .. :grumble:

    Edit: To be fair, I have buds in, sometimes hood up .. and I'm there to use the equipment, not to socialize and find a mate.. most of the time I don't even make eye contact.

    Sadly, I have to make eye contact with drivers because I'm crossing the road a lot.. California tends to have tiny blocks, ticks me off. Streets cut off randomly and start up somewhere else as well.

    I had my headphones on. Was even talking on the phone one time D:!!!

    Hood seems like a good idea. Will have use that in the future.

    Oh wait, I thought this was specifically for the gym! I obviously didn't spend enough time reading .. uhm, in general? hrmm.. not really.

    But yes, hood up is great .. someone who's got hood up super far almost over the top of their face is a little scary because they represent being unpredictable. Good strategy for women!

    Let me see.. a suave guy smirked at me while I was heading to swimming pool for my routine workout in the morning, at 10:30am, before he jumped into pool and swam away. I had to move to the farthest lane and away from a suave stranger to swim next to me. We were the only two persons at the pool on last Saturday.

    Normally I am alright with swimming next to strangers as long as they dont bother me, but not to the one who looked at me and gave a smirk..

    I always throw **** when waitresses call me "sweetie." I mean that **** is CREE-PY!

    And don't even get me started on getting PMs with naught pics. These ladies need to step back. I mean, this is a fitness website, right? WWJD?
    What's a wwjd??

    What would Jeff do? Duh...

    Knife is a terrible weapon. A few punctures with a small blade isn't going to kill someone instantly. It's a close range weapon and can produce quite a lot of blood which could be infected with God knows what.

    Not terribly difficult to disarm someone with a small knife, then use it on them.

    Has to be better options.

    I live in a fairly small suburban town but I am still incredibly paranoid about things like that. A few weeks ago I went walking down my road (I live just on the outskirts of town so pretty heavily populated) and on the way back I noticed a young guy standing at the corner of a store for several minutes doing nothing. As soon as I passed he starts walking behind me and followed me for several blocks. He eventually went down the road just before mine but things like that really freak me out. Every time I go out, especially whenever there are people just hanging around, I'm constantly on the look out. A lot of people like to go super slow as they drive by on the days I walk on the road. Creeps me out, especially since a little girl in my town was almost abducted at gunpoint recently.

    yup it is horrifying & happens way to much

    street harassment is disgusting and needs to stop / be stood up against & taken seriously by authorities

    Not in this country. Guns and pepper spray are illegal. BUT- I can carry a knife.
