No or else he wouldn't have been a creep, he would have been the hot guy checking her out

I would have asked if there was a particular pose he would like me to do or if he was simply happy with what I was doing. Most people would be embarrassed by this, mumble an apology and do everything they can to avoid looking at you. Lol.

*If people are going to stare at me they have to be prepared for the awkwardness that comes with it.*

THIS!!!!

Agreed - if he was attractive - it would be a non issue! ha

I would have checked out his *kitten*. And perhaps asked him to buy me a drink. Or for a quickie in the locker room. Depends on how nice his *kitten* was, I suppose.

I would honestally just take it as a compliment.. and go on with my own thing. Alittle attenetion never hurt anyone... did it? :laugh:

There is a guy that comes into the gym on Campus. He does the same thing to my friend and me. He will also come into my office where I work and be wierd. I got a few guy friends that work out with me and now he jsut gives them dirty looks. I could understand being stared at if i was dressed proviocitvly but i wear sweats and a big t-shirt, some guys are jsut wierd. I try to ignore it but it does make all of us feel uncomfortable. Good luck I hope that he leaves you alone.

just be flattered, you are at the gym to work out, if a guy is checking you out(not advancing) then chalk it up to still being hott, lol.

As long as it wasn't an everyday event with the same person, staring and following you everywhere and never talking. That would be super creepy.

just posted a Creepy chicks thread for all you guys tired of the same old bull! Have at it!
you can thank me later!:bigsmile:

once upon a time you could do the sarcastic thing and say "take an f'n picture it will last you longer" but you can't do that no longer considering every f'n phone has a camera now - even some of the music players, LOL

Women do this to me all the time, but really... Can you blame them? I mean they are only human after all. I usually just wiggle my *kitten* and give it a good slap for them and call it a day.

Hahaha love it! :laugh:

There is a guy that comes into my work that also goes to my gym. He apparently told our dock guys he could stare at me all day long. I literally see him everyday at the gym and he always makes a point to say hi to me or when doing cardio get a machine next to me... creee--eeepppyy! Luckily my boyfriend and I go to the gym at the same time He is clueless tho hehe.

Nooo! The curse of the cardio area! "HELP! There's a creeper interrupting and annoying me, and no matter how fast I run, I can't get away from him!"

If they set up camp next to you and try talking to you, it's best to carry an ipod/mp3 player and pop in the ole earbuds. If they continue trying to talk, politely point out that they're being rude and you'd prefer enjoying your workout in (their) silence. I've had to use this approach on a personal trainer at 24 who would set up on the elliptical next to me early in my one hour set and try to upsell me on personal training sessions.

To me, that "Just being a guy" is not a valid excuse for blatantly being a creep. At least try to be subtle! I'd ask him if I could help him since he seems to be staring so much...

A guy sneaking a glance or looking at your backside when you are bending over ...or doing the ever lovely leg curls (when you have to lay on your stomach and your *kitten* in the air....ignore it. Pat yourself on the back and remind yourself you are working hard for your body and its nice for someone to notice.

Now, when they start following you..thats a little different. Maybe you should make the first move by saying ....wow...Ive noticed we are about on the same circuit..or something to that nature. If they offer to 'help' nicely say no thanks, Im working with a trainer, or how sweet but my husband, boyfriend, extremely muscular/mean/jealous lover would probably object.

Now for all the guys saying...oh well if your in shorts n a tank top your asking to be stared at. I call BS. I wear shorts and tank tops to the gym because Im comfortable and it allows me to move more freely. Why should I wear baggy sweats and shirts to make it easier for you to concentrate and not be distracted from your work out. If thats the case..guys...please by all means make sure you are doing the same. I dont wanna see your awesome arms and chests peeking thru your tank top/wife beaters. Or even no shirt at all. I dont wanna see your muscular legs while your wearing your basketball shorts to work out.

If someone wants to look and admire your hard work...great..but if they wanna start stalking you..thats the time to nip it in the bud. Be civil at first...if it continues...girl jump on your broom and give em what for.

One time I was at the gym running on a treadmill. I guess the genius by the rowing machine behind me who was lewdly pantomiming to his buddy that he was slapping my *kitten* didn't realize that the treadmill faced a mirror and that I could see everything. I slammed my hand down on the emergency stop button ( and truthfully almost tripped, which would have totally ruined the moment), whipped around and loudly called him out on his antics. One of the gym employees came over, told the guy that type of behavior wouldn't be tolerated and asked him to leave. I saw him a few other times but, needless to say, he never did that again.

Awesome. Just plain awesome

I have one guy who has twice harassed me while I was out on my pre-dawn run. The second time I had to call the police as he kept trailing me, yelling comments, etc. They talked to him at his home (I got his license plate) and told him he'd be charged with stalking if he did it again. Now I stick to the really busy streets (uggh!) and carry bear spray . . . I haven't seen him since September, but it has been too dark/cold since then to be out trolling for ladies. I'm hoping he doesn't show up again in March/April.

As a girl, there are just certain times that guys just look. I usually run around my neighbourhood and along the main street I notice winter, summer, no matter what the weather, most guys driving by at least look. Half rubber neck. (which is really dangerous) I'm all sweaty, and rarely wearing anything remotely attractive, but I know that if I run, people will look. It happens. Be flattered.

However, I also get that sometimes guys will cross the line. I agree with others, talk to management if necessary.

Good luck!

Thats messed up. I think this is frequently what causes some women to stop working out at the gym. I am a guy and cant help but look at women on occasion, but I really try not to be a creep about it. I dont hit on women at the gym. Honestly I try to ignore everyone as I am there to workout so I just crank up the tunes and block everyone out. I actually am offended when I see guys doing this, as I know that it is potentially ruining another persons workout. I have not had this problem myself but I am sure I would become very self conscious if I were being oogled everytime I went to the gym.

I am so glad I am not female.
I'd calmly walk over, grab his head and crush his face into my boobs.
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT!???

What a bad girl I would be!

I can totally picture that. LOL

I am so focused on my workout, so into my music - I don't noticed anything around me - most of the time

Yep, I take off my glasses so I can't see anything except what I shouldn't run into.

When I was alot younger, I remember being the gym and a guy was just sitting on one of the weight benches staring at me. So I looked at him and asked "Do you have a staring problem?" and then he got all flustered and walked away. I don't know if I'd have the balls to do that now, then again, I don't workout at a crappy meat-market gym like I did back then. Most of the guys at the Y are decent and we all just smile and say hi and go on with our own workouts and ignore each other.

Some of the guys hit the nail on the head with women dressing to get attention. I was on the machines one day and noticed a woman in a tiny tight tank top and itty bitty shorts on the treadmill. She had a good body and could wear the outfit, but the black whale tale sticking up from the back of her shorts was just BEGGING for attention. I know it couldn't have been comfortable and the couple of times she adjusted her clothes she never once came anywhere near correcting the issue. I decided she meant it to be there. Whatever, her issue.

I have a shirt that reads: This is my you're not getting lucky shirt.
it!

I want one! LOL

^ how did guys cross the line?


and its soooooooo true that if it was a hot guy, girls would be flattered.... if it was an ugly guy, you would treat him as if he were a Dateline episode!

I have to agree with you on this because I was thinking the same thing. I'm sure if it was some hot guy it would feel differently.

It would not. Staring at my *kitten* while I'm working out is creepy regardless of how hot that person may be.

And, just to let you know ladies, the creepy guy effects the guys as well.

Just today while I was doing up rows on the cable box, there was some grey haired dude sitting at the lateral raise machine.. No, he didn't do a single rep. No, he wasn't using his phone. No, he wasn't stretching. No, he wasn't catching his breath. Yes, he was staring at me while I was doing my sets... What made it creepier? He was using the mirror to do it. The indirect mirror stare... Pretty creepy...

Be flattered???

amandavictoria80

I don't know. I can't help but feel jealous and wonder why it's so terrible to have a guy check you out or hear guys talking about your boobs or a bunch of the other things I read here.

Personally, it would be nice to get checked out. I don't experience that in that way. I think it would make me feel good about myself.

I disagree. If some smokin hot guy is checking you out, and it bothers you, it ain't because your creeped out, it's because you have image issues and it makes you uncomfortable. Sorry. I've had the feeling.
I know it's the gym and it's not exactly the time and place for it, buts it still always secretly flattering.

Would you rather no guys check you out? Cause I know a couple of women who don't get checked out and they notice. I wouldn't want to feel like them.

Basically, I'll sum the whole conversation.

Glance - Not really creepy, possibly flattering depending on the person.

Stare - Creepy, just don't do it.

Commenting - Best left alone

Offering to help - At your own risk. Anything from insulting to welcomed. Good luck deciding which.
