    Well I always try to keep head phones in but when I'm on the treadmill or elliptical I like to pick one away from others and no matter how many are open I always seem to end up with a guy on both sides of me that I can see staring at me out of the corner of my eyes. Also when I work out with my trainer he always gets a kick out of guys who do the double take when I'm doing certain exercises. I guess as long as they don't talk to me I'm okay. I just try to stay in my own head and not pay attention if guys are staring or not.

    I used to get hit on all the time...until I fell off the treadmill. Repeatedly.

    Sorry, I shouldn't laugh at this but I did.... :laugh:

    Attractive women get hit on everywhere.

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

    ^ Pretty much sums it up lol, but there are some people that will still try to talk to you even w the earbuds in... and if you are in the pool/ hot tub then you don't have much of a choice.

    It's a fool-proof method to avoid getting hit on :)

    I was working the back extension machine when a guy walked by, smiled, winked and called me a mule. :noway:

    I don't get hit on at the gym either... :grumble:

    I do notice the attractive women there, but try to be discrete about it. Creepy is not a good first impression! :laugh:

    It's only happened 3x in all my years of working out. I wear head phones and don't take many breaks, not a lot of chances for interaction.

    i dont get hit on in the gym and im not sure if thats because i am usually a puddle of sweat or if i have headphones in, but occasionally i do get the creeper in the corner staring at me. thats awkward...

    i don't get too flattered with getting hit on anymore. after seeing a thread on another message board with guys experimenting with different troll profiles on POF of them pretending to be girls, girls get hit on way more than guys regardless of what they look like.

    The only time a woman talks to me at the gym is when I follow her into the locker room or out to her car. :wink:

    I don't get hit on. I'd take it as a compliment if I did. :)

    It happened once and I absolutely loved it. Huge ego boost as far as I'm concerned. I don't got the gym anymore so I guess the fun is over.
