Gym stalker. What should I do?

ehte_h

For the past few days, when i've been doing weights, I have some dude who just stares at me! Literally he'll be on whatever machine he's on, and i'm on the dumb bells and he just keeps looking at me. I've tried talking to him but his english isn't great so i'm stuck. If he wants help or advice why not ask? Should I just call him out, or try talking to him again? If it was a girl I wouldn't have minded so much lol. What to do guys and girls?

bring a cross and a string of garlic with you. when you see him -- hold them out toward him and shout, GO AWAY!

Seriously, just be assertive. Don't allow yourself to be bullied. Stand up straight and tell him to bug off, turn around and walk away.

Personally, I think you're being paranoid.

Speak to the manager.

Talk to the gym's management. They might have a procedure in place for situations like this.

Also, if your schedule is flexible enough, try to change the time you use the gym so you can avoid the guy all together.


I know how uncomfortable a situation like this can be and I wish you the best of luck...

Do you have toilet paper hanging out the back of your pants?

I said the same on another thread and the woman went apesh#t. Just tell him you used to be a guy called Justin and your waiting to do your final surgery...which is down there.

ha ha ha ha, oh no!! funny yet creepy. Hey, a compliment is a compliment... even if its from a dude. haha.

I have no idea what to tell you since you've already tried talking to him.

Get on with your thing. Say hi to him occasionally. Tell him he's doing well. If his english is limited, that's probably all you can do for now. He'll either move on or his english will improve :P

I doubt he means any harm, as you don't seem overly concerned that he has a crush on you

This is just sexist. Some of the best stalkers are men.
Wait, what?

Get in there ;]

ambercholtz

Tell him you're not interested??? He's not your type? You're not into Men??

Just a suggestion and if he scares you then go when he's not there.

You should give show him your secret freckle.

Clearly it is too late for me to even focus on pictures, then OP you should avoid the showers at all cost and please please don't bend to pick up a bar of soap...

Tell the manager

ehte_h

I'm pure of heart and mind. I wasn't scared until someone just mentioned a possible crush thing! I won't change my schedule, it means he'd have won. Gonna talk to him one last time before I go ape! Qarol, shout out the misc crew lol

There's nothing funny about this whatever some other people might think.

if you have tried speaking to him and it doesnt work then speak to the manager. If that doesnt work find out who the manager's boss is and put a complaint in writing about the management of the gym. Point out that they have a legal duty of care towards you. DONT put up with being harrassed.

good luck

Rub your nipple at him....and then never use the showers at that gym.

Staring is not the same as stalking. Stalking is a bit more serious.

CaptainGordo

Be mature about it.

Try using, "Stare hard, retard" or "Take a picture. It lasts longer."

Should do the trick.

Also, "Shake your head. Your eyes are stuck."

You should give show him your secret freckle.

That might just excite the stalker. I think you should fart on or near him. Might I suggest some bean and bacon soup about 12 hours in advance of your need to fart.

Lol.. You've totally got this planned out!

ehte_h

I talked to him again, told him he was making me feel uncomfortable and if he had something to say, to just say it. From what I understood he was kinda butt hurt that I was lifting double what he was! (He is relatively tall and skinny, and I am short fat man lol. I explained a little about my routine, and said if he had any questions, just ask.. I think i'll just keep it to a friendly Hi, when I see him.

I hope that stops it.
