    I don't use a gym but I get my fair share of starers. They stare while I'm shopping (sometimes follow me too), while I'm out at lunch, at the library, on my walks. It's only fun when the person staring me down is attractive. That's not the case most of the time.

    Edited...

    Since I'm being called out for this quite publicly... it is no more...

    So what exactly are they staring at, sorry Im not seeing it.
    :noway: They are probably staring at the beautiful woman that is near them at the store, on lunch, at the library, or out walking. But I suppose some people just can't find the beauty in other women. *shrug*

    I was being facetious. Her post came off as a tad arrogant hence my reply.

    If they just look and go back to what they're doing, I'm cool with it. Be respectful and I'll appreciate the subtle acknowledgement that you dig what I'm workin' with. I do not appreciate being interupted while in the gym though, which is why I rarely make eye contact.

    One guy was a bit aggressive, following me all around the gym before coming up to me and saying, "Damn! You're an amazon woman and I LIKE it!". I laughed and got the hell out of there but not before spotting him watching me through the window as I walked to my car. I switched up the time I go to the gym only to avoid him.

    I'm flattered if someone wants to look.

    I don't work out in a gym much, but when I'm out running I get a lot of car honks. Now, my hair is pulled up in an unflattering bun, I'm dripping sweat, bright red and, well, I've seen photos from races of me running and I don't get what they're excited about. But the attention is welcome. :-) (As long as it doesn't get scary creepy, of course.)

    they arent looking at your face or hair........;)

    lol

    I just stare back. We can totally do the whole staring contest. I usually win.

    Stare envy, that is what I sense in this one.

    I'm gym stare at people who are in good shape in kind of a, "I can't wait to look like that" way. It's motivating I guess.

    most of us men don't know the art of subtle checking out. most gawk...which is really awkward for both people.

    but hey, at least you are getting good attention. albeit it a little cheesey and creepy (the wink...)

    I love the female form and I am going to look. There is a huge difference between an appraising glance and a lecherous leer, though.

    It is hard not to notice really attractive women at the gym... but what I like to do now is watch the guys checking her out as she walks buy. MUCH more fun then just getting an eyeful for myself.

    Us guys are much less slick then we think! LOL

    Mine was meant to be sarcastic, not arrogant. There's a difference.

    Hey if she feels that everyone she comes into contact with is giving her the stare then good for her. It's nice to be confident. I wish I had that much confidence.

    Also there's the woman staring at woman and the comments, does she think she looks good in that? Why would she wear a skirt (tennis) to get on a stepper, the makeup and so on. I've had to blast my music so I don't hear those conversations, although funny it is distracting.

    There's as much of that type of staring than men looking, a man might think to himself damn she has a great body a woman that b$%(# I bet she doesn't eat or doesn't do anything but workout snob, sorry girls you know it is true.

    Looking is OK, but staring is wrong.
  • lol the only people that stare at me that i know of are the high school girls that are probably thinking "omg is she gay? or she looks terrible" lol i only go to the gym to get a major sweat on that is what i pay for and i don't get to go there very often since i live far away. I always go with my husband so i think that deters some guys stares that i might have been getting. I only get good stares when i go shopping ...when im not all sweaty lol

    :laugh: Yea, I'm with her

    However at home my daughter likes to cheer for me "go mommy go, go mommy go!! woo-hoo! HOT!" yes, she even licks her finger and touches it to her butt making the sizzle noise :laugh: My kid is awesome

    I have to admit, I get stares.

    When I start doing intervals in the treadmill, people immediately start looking around going WTF is THAT?

    "Anybody hear that? It's an... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is... I'm fairly alarmed here."

    :laugh:

    I stare at the grunters sometimes. I admit it. :laugh:

    And there's an older very petite woman at my gym that runs ridiculously fast. Sometimes I stare at her in awe, she's like a tiny little grey-haired hummingbird.

    Stare envy. That is how yours came across. Nothing sarcastic about it.
