    Ok, so I've seen a LOT of girls on here complain about getting hit on at the gym and how annoying it is. They say gross sweaty guys come up and say stuff to them and all that, and no doubt that would be annoying.

    But, am I the only one that doesn't get hit on at the gym? I've had a random person come up once or twice and say something to me....but that's like once or twice ever in my life. People stare, and that's definitely annoying, and I'd be peeved if someone interrupted my workout to hit on me too, so I'm not complaining, I guess I just don't have this problem! No one talks to me haha.

    Anyway, thought it was wierd, seems to happen to everyone else!


    maybe because some guys think they may have no shot with you or because they figure you have to be already taken..

    or you have that f off look going..lol

    Some tips:

    - Wear less clothing
    - Sweat more seductively
    - More groaning

    Great advise...and bend over more. And not at the knees...bend at the hips!!

    I suspect most girls think they're being hit on at the gym when really the guy's asking her if she'll be done with the machine soon or something similar.

    i have NEVER been hit on at a gym and i have been a member at numerous gyms at different ages/weight points in my life...from 22 and being maybe 118 lbs to most recently at 39/40 and weighing around 160.
    not sure what that says about me (ie my looks) but doesn't bother me in the least since when i am at the gym i tend to "zone out".

    Just once, unfortunately it was a way older man and he kept staring. Then he said, do you ever go in the hot tub. I said no then he said want to come with me. Gross. Never went back at that time in the morning anymore. Lmao.

    When I went to the gym I've never been hit on either but I've had a lot of guys interupt my workout and ask for advice. I don't mind giving out some Bro science but, not in the middle of a set c'mon man.

    When I worked out at our local gym a guy would come in and talk with me - used to annoy the heck out of me - I'd put my headphones on and he'd keep talking and never got the picture. Asked me lots of questions and I'd give one word answers - if he was trying to make friends, that would have been fine..but he gave me the creeps by the way he looked at me. All it took to get rid of him was for me to spend about a minute of me saying "my husband says that/my husband is going to" etc...he found someone else to creep out after that!

    Are you kidding me? You look too good not to be hit on. But I'd consider it a blessing though given your great looks

    Why would you go to the gym for any other reason to be hit on? That is just so weird.

    Well, I guess I can't say I haven't. I even think he may be a stalker now!! lol After he was very persistent, I agreed to have dinner w/ him but it never happened. But I can't seem to escape him because I think he LIVES at the gym!!!! He's very attractive and keeps trying but I don't think it's a good idea anymore. :ohwell:

    My car gets hit on at the gym more than me. In the form of door dings.

    Don't worry about people starting, i watch people even dudes (no homo) lift, mostly gawking at poor form, but I'll also watch any lift 3plate or more.

    and don't forget to cool yourself down by pouring your water bottle all over your white t shirt

    I've never been hit on....but I suppose this is more a problem for women then men.

    In my perspective, I would never approach a woman at the Gym...irrelevant of how attractive they are. I consider the gym like a second job and I am there to work so I can attain my goals. You just have to respect everyones space.

    My sister-in-law gets all dolled up, full make-up, hair, everything to go to the gym, in hopes she'll find her future husband.

    I do think some girls take everything as hitting on/staring. The other day I could tell a women thought I was checking her out, when I was actually just waiting to use the back extension bench she was on, it was the last exercise I needed to do and the gym only has one. I was thinking about asking to work in with her, but I figured she would think I was hitting on her. Also when I am doing cardio I kind of stare at anything going on in front of me, because I am bored.

    I don't get hit on there. If I did I would feel bad for them. I never look worse. RED, Stinkay, and jiggly. I'm cool with being ignored!!! lol.

    I don't, either. But having seen what I look like when I'm running, both in photos and unfortunate glances in the mirror while on a treadmill... I don't blame 'em!

    I don't have the eye of the tiger. I have the eye of the honey badger.

    Nasty Honey Badger, dont' give a s**t! :laugh:

    I never get hit on at the gym, bar, anywhere... thankfully I have a boyfriend so it's not an issue, it would have been nice once though.
