    Just randomly drop a tube of feminine itch cream. Throw down some Preparation H from time to time for good measure.

    LMFAO!!!

    You gotta remember, sweat is a natural aphrodisiac. If you dont believe me, google it.

    I was going to suggest joining an all women gym, but I guess you can still get hit on there.

    Agreed.

    You can't control what other people do. You can control how you act and respond to the situation.

    I don't understand why you feel insecure that he hit on you. Clearly, he found something that he thought was attractive, even though the sweating, grunting, etc. If you are not interested, you politely thank him (assuming he was appropriate in his hit-on comments), and move on with life.

    No you can't control what other people do, but just for your information, some of us feel tat if other people can't take a hint it is annoying. And lets take that one step further, just plain rude. And a hint, I mean, I am not looking at you, and not looking at anybody, I am busy here. It is a huge pain in the *kitten* when someone wants to chat on the workout floor. If you want to socialize, then go to a club or hang out at the front desk and annoy the receptionist.

    She said she was hit on. She didn't say she was harassed by the person, or that he was insistent or even rude, or that he couldn't take a hint. Nor did she say she didn't make any eye contact with him. I respect and completely understand your viewpoint. There's no need for "for your information" comments as if you're talking to me like I'm a child.

    Whooaahhh... let's make peace my people! :) I am blown away by the responses and totally appreciate them! The update is that he indeed tried to pursue me, finding me through a mutual friend on FB and I pretty much said to him what I said to you. He told me I suck at taking compliments but at the end of the day it is my only place where I can face those insecurities without feeling like I am being judged by the world for how I do or do not meet the expected criteria. You guys are awesome, and thank you so much for your comments! Best to all of you!!!

    I dont hit on girls at the gym, i put on my headphones and do my thing. The most that comes out of me is an "excuse me" or "is anyone using this?" I personally dont think its appropriate, but its bound to happen.......
    On the other side though, i would have no problem if a girl hit on me, but i dont put out the "hit on me" vibe i am pretty sure............
