    I don't get these kinds of remarks, but I look very serious and like a huge ***** at the gym. Its not that I am, its just how my face settles when I get "in the zone". So, people don't mess with me. Alot of the guys in my gym look impressed even though I don't lift that heavy or anything. I get a lot of smiles and thumbs ups. Sometimes guys will ask if I need help moving the plates, I always say yes. What guy doesnt want to "help" a pretty girl. I'll let them have that. However, I don't respond well to disrespect. I probably would have just condensed it down to a simple "*kitten* off" or something along those lines.

    ...It's time to perfect your horrified face and put it on the minute someone says something that stupid to you. Do not thank them for their bad advice, just crazy face them until they go the hell away. :(

    chat up maybe ?

    we do stupid things some times

    and say stupid things all the time

    lol

    I wondered that - might have just been a really crap way to start talking to you! Next time try laughing it off - pretend they've made a joke or something and see what happens. We don't always have to be angry about stuff.

    I'm dealing with crap at the gym to. I lost a lot of weight and it seems like the fitter I get , the more *kitten* come, always staring and mumbling under there breath. I lost my focus twice already and the week is just beginning. I am so frustrated with my gym. Even the staff are always staring. Abdvootions f Ir gyms are limited in my area ir I would go somewhere else.

    I hate to sound like a b-word, but I can't STAND when people try to strike up conversation at the gym, even friendly. I am there to get my workout out, I am focused and in 'the zone' and I'm kind of naturally a quiet person anyway and I get so annoyed when people try to start a conversation. It's like, come on, just leave me alone!!

    That, and I have a few visible tattoos on my chest and right above both of my knees, I catch people staring at me alot and I think it has something to do with the tattoos, which is irritating. DOUBLE WHAMMY when they interrupt me in the middle of a workout to ask about my tattoos!

    I used to be exactly like this. I have a lot of really geeky ink and it used to bother me if people would comment. I keep headphones in frmo door to door at the gym and if someone does give a tattoo comment I smile and move on. I got the ink to be seen after all, not sure why it used to make me mad. Ruining the zone maybe? I dunno. That's something I think you (in general) gotta get over if you display tattoos in public.
