    I'm almost always the only woman on the weight floor and I lift heavy. So I get a lot of looks regardless. I just ignore them. Or I make eye contact and they look away.

    Relevant funny story... was at the gym with my mom and she was checking out this guy. He caught her doing it and shot her a smile and flexed his bicep. She turned bright red and dropped a weight on her foot.

    Best gym memory ever. I laughed for days.
    I was having a rough day and you have just made it soo much better lool! I hope your mom was okay!!

    I really wish girls would get the hell over being ogled. Take a compliment and move the hell on with your day. Unless he's following you to you car or pestering you with drool puddles and rambles, there is seriously NO HARM DONE!

    Maybe it just takes having a rack the size of TX to get used to this.

    Just because you are fine with some dirty old guy starting at your rack (most likely fantasizing about it) does not mean I have to "get the hell over" not being OK with it. I can take a compliment, sure, but a man blatantly staring at my chest is NOT a compliment it's offensive. If I caught someone looking and they quickly look away with embarrassment, that can be taken as a compliment. To each their own I guess.

    Gee whiz I Deplore this kind of talk... They have all these "women's only" gyms, but I've never seen a men's only, and often I wish there was one so I could attend

    I check people out at the gym all the time, but since you can't look at a woman without being judged for it, I try to keep it to just men. If someone is doing some exercise I think is interesting or I've never seen before, I watch. Poster, you say you have a great *kitten*, so I'm going out on a limb to suggest it's probably not your first day at the gym, maybe he was just watching you perform some repetition of an exercise he's not familiar/ comfortable with. Or maybe he was checking you out. But we'll never know, you just assume he was being obnoxious and leering at you, so you post "how would you react?" like he's done something wrong.

    And what if he was checking you out? Let's assume he was. Let's say that he'd seen you around the gym for a couple weeks or months, and that he thinks you're really pretty (including your great *kitten*) and so he would like to find out if your personality is as attractive as your appearance. We're all people here, what does any person do when they are interested to meet someone? They let you know that they've noticed you. Now, he could've walked up, interrupted your work out, maybe made you take out your ipod or whatever, and introduced himself, but instead, he just checked you out, no big deal, but enough that you noticed, not too intrusive. And maybe if you would've held eye contact or said "hello" he would've taken that as a cue to start speaking, but you didn't, so he kindly left it alone. I hear women complaining all the time that either guys never man up and let a woman know they're interested, or else when they do they are obnoxious and rude, no middle ground. As a man, sometimes it feels like you just can't win.

    ...then again, quite possibly he was just picking up pointers on some exercise you were doing...

    Myself, I specifically avoid looking at women in the gym, as much as I'd sometimes like to, and it's forums like this that reinforce my dedication towards doing so. Nothing worse than seeing a regular attendee in great shape doing some crazy advanced squat variation (and women all seem to know these squat variations, just as men seem to know every bicep building technique ever devised) so you're watching, trying to figure out how she's posturing her lower back to make that possible without killing herself, and then *BAM* she catches you in the mirror, gives you a dirty look as though you've just degraded her somehow, and now you've got to see her a couple times a week because you're both regulars and it's awkward because somehow you've been labelled "icky". It happens; I've been there.

    Sorry to rant, i know this is a long post, but really, it drives me absolutely crazy.

    I get ogled at the gym all the time. Doesnt bother me at all. I notice they stare more if I ask them how to use something. I just stared using the free weights and what not in the other half of the gym. Guys stare at me like I am a cute little kitten with a big pink bow on my head and also stare at my *kitten* in my running shorts. The "OMG YOU ARE SO PRETTY AND CUTE AND LITTLE AND BEAUTIFUL.. NICE *kitten*" face is annoying but whatever. Its because im small.

    That's the beauty of having wretched eyesight. I'm completely oblivious. Plus, I look like crap at the gym, so probably no one is looking anyway. But I'm going to tell myself that I'm just too oblivious and near-sighted to notice.

    It makes me uncomfortable to be checked out, especially when I feel like I am not asking for it... But I am also extremely shy and would more than likely say and do nothing (unless it got really bad, then I'd just walk away).

    i would love to turn around just once to see girl looking me up and down with delight in her smile. Never happens. Maybe one day.

    We don't wait for you to turn around. I ogle sometimes but I do it fast and secretly. I take mental pics.

    Just stare back. Gotta show em' who's boss...and it's really fun to see people get super uncomfortable in an insanely short amount of time.

    At some point, I probably checked his - can't really get mad if he does it to me :tongue:
    I take it as a compliment!

    It made you feel good to know he was checking you out, right?

    Then quit complaining. There are lots of people that would kill to have someone admiring their goodies.

    Now, if he was giving you the creeps or something, thats one thing. But just oogling?

    "Don't be hatin"
    [/quote] absolutely agree

    Most Men look it's their nature i guess I don't let it bother me.. I can't stand creeper mode though the ones that stare you down every move you make and are super obvious and don't care if it makes you uncomfortable..I normally give them dirty looks or ask them if they have a problem..but alot of the time if I'm getting checked out I don't pay it much mind

    i usually say something funny like "it's only going to get better" or "take a picture it'll last longer". there's always the straight calling him out and saying "are you checking out my *kitten*? turn around and let me see what you got going on" :laugh:

    seriously though, it's rare that i've experienced straight up lechery in the weight room. most guys have a sense of humor about you essentially saying :huh: i see you seeing me.

    i'm working with pretty large chest and when i'm wearing a sports bra (compression creates even more cleavage) and a v neck shirt, that makes from some pretty hilarious moments. i know that when i'm doing pushups, bent rows, or any other exercise that requires me to be bent over, anyone facing me is going to be getting a free ticket to the top of my boobs show

    ^ This. And if I do notice if they notice I might go somewhere else or completely ignore them

    No one ever ogles me at the gym... can I come with you to your gym and stand next to you in the hopes of getting some spill-over?



    Seriously, though, I am sorry it made you uncomfortable. I haven't been ogled at the gym before but the staring until he was uncomfortable sounds like a good idea.
    LOVE THIS!! spillover :)
