So, I went to the pool today, and for the first time, got hit on at the gym.

Ladies, does this ever happen to you? I was kinda thrown off by it. Guys, do you get hit on a the gym? I mean, I look at most of the hot men in my weight section, but have never seen a woman hit on them.

    I'd say it's a common thing, I hear about it quite often. I always stayed in the ladies section (as there was a men and ladies section, along with a shared area). So I couldn't tell you personally. But I've heard of friends getting hit on, or men talking about hitting on women at the gym. Apparently it's a good place to do that???

    I guess so. Maybe I just didn't notice or maybe there's more hotties around during the week than on Saturday. The guy who hit on me was sharing my lane with me. He was cute too, but I'm happily married. I just wasn't expecting it.

    Attractive women get hit on everywhere.

    If you don't want to get hit on at the gym, wear ear pieces.

    LOL I wasn't complaining, just found it an odd place to get hit on is all.

    Watch the freeweights area closely. When a hot chick goes in there, the weight on all the barbells increases. It's hilarious.

    Yeah, but only when I started really hitting the weights. I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm usually the only girl in the weights section, and I look more attractive in a group of big burly dudes.

    LOL I am so going to do this next time. Wait for the uber-hottie to walk in and start squatting and see what the guys do... SWEET!

    I feel your pain. I don't get hit on, either. :/

    I'd hit on both of you if I weren't already married :wink:

    ^this. Made me lol. :P

    My main problem is that I am a bit anti-social and walk around looking unapproachable. I have heard from multiple people that I look like a huge b*tch (can I swear on here?) if people haven't gotten to know me.

    But yes, if you are attractive and/or have a nice body, people will hit on you *everywhere* :) Enjoy your hotness, mama!

    You're not ugly! Don't be so hard on yourself :)
    And getting hit on isn't such a problem for me at the gym, but me and my friends get eyes up and stared at, which can be uncomfortable :p

    LOL

    It is flattering. I guess I'm just not used to it maybe? I also didn't wear my wedding ring today to the gym like I normally do. It's getting too big, and I don't want to lose it in the pool.

    ^^ I agree with him. I chased to many parked cars. Kept smashing my face...lol :ohwell:
    I see the hotties at the gym and at work as well. Just don't have the nerve to hit on them.:blushing: :noway:
    I'm sure they're NOT at the gym to be hit on!! :flowerforyou:

    Just do what my uncle does and take that cute kid to the gym as "bait". My uncle does this at hooters with his little girl. Works every time.

    When I was in a relationship I used to dread being hit on at the gym. That is not what I am there for. If I kept my headphones in no one would bother me generally. When I am single and things are a bit more open I will sometimes take my earbuds out.. But it has been quite a while since anyone has made a pass at me in that setting.

    I don't have this problem but the time of day I go, it's not very crowded and you have a lot of older (60+) folks aside from in the weights room. That aside I also go in old t-shirts that are baggy, baggy exercise pants, and my hair not exactly the best. Basically I literally roll out of bed, comb my hair, throw on my gym clothes and go.

    Really the only time I get hit on is when I'm grocery shopping in Walmart. I had a guy probably 10 years my senior come after me one time with his two toddlers in tow. I'd rather some meathead from the weight room hit on me than guys like that, but the best I ever get from them is weight competitions because some of them get mad if a fat, short girl with a boy's haircut can lift more than they can and not grunt with each movement.

    Haha, this! Plus, I exercise at home. I wouldn't be happy with people trying to chat with me for any reason while I'm trying to workout anyway.

    I believe the answer to your problem lies within this video:

    I got hit on today, actually. I don't think it's a rarity. I know a lot of people would rather not be bothered during their workout, though. Myself included.

    No I never got hit on at the gym but I always have my earphones in and usually only talk to a certain group of guys. But I do get stared at when my shirt rides up from doing pullups or decline bench etc. Women are pretty bold these days and dont even seem to care that you see them staring, guys will usually be more discreet about it.

    The small town I live in is very well know for having a large lesbian population. So the chance of being hit on my a man is rather small.:wink::laugh:

    I got hit on once at the swimming pool at the gym, but apart from that it never happens.

    One of my life goals is to get hit on at the gym.

    It has never happened to me yet.

    This makes me sad.

    LOL never. When I workout I'm focusing on that and am dripping with sweat by the end.
