Ladies at the gym...

It makes me feel self conscious. If I am being stared at while working out I'd rather not know it.0

Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. I wouldn't notice if half the people in my gym were actually on fire while I was working out.
And even if I did eventually notice, I would likely only be annoyed at the fact their ashes where getting all over the equipment.0 -

I am in my own little world at the gym. I put my headphones on. The only reason someone would stare at me is bc they think I am gross or weird bc I lip sync when I get into my workout and dance a little. If I don't have fun then the workout goes so slow and I want to quit. But no one there is hot anyway. My gym has the fat-strong guys. You know the ones that bench like 500 pounds but have a keg for a stomach. So I don't really care. The only time I stare is at the swimming pool and even there the "hot" guys are skinny. No one around here is in shape. Went to the next town and there was a body builder there and you would have thought my mom and I were at an Elvis concert we squealed and fanned ourselves before we realised how ridiculous we looked so we walked out. Shew that man was build like a marble statue of a Greek God :noway:0

I don't really mind unless I'm using the inner/outer thigh weight machines. Then it just pisses me off. Quickly.
Otherwise, whatever I probably won't even notice. I make random eye contact with folks especially when I'm running around the track, I try to smile if it's not too weird.
Those machines are directly across from the bench press & shoulder press machines in my gym. Clearly the set up was done by a guy. I feel uncomfortable when I am on the press machines because I feel like I have to look in another direction. When I am on those leg machines, I rest my towel between my legs.0 -

Yeah ours are across from treadmills (with users facing away) but believe it or not, people actually crank their neck around to look. I tried the towel once but it just kept falling, still good idea if I got a bigger one maybe. At least you have the decency to look the other way, means a lot!0 -

I much prefer to peek when I am strolling by a woman, not be forced to stare directly at her making both of us uncomfortable.0 -
If someone stares at me I start checking for boogers or granny panty lines
Just don't wear panties and you don't have to worry about any of that. Lol!0 -

It never occurred to me to check out the girls only when using this machine, I'm assuming it's because people can see your hoohah? I think they sell tighter/longer shorts0 -

Are you not familiar with the machine?0 -
dude, you're supposed to use the mirrors.
we totally notice when you stare using the mirrors
This! I'm not bothered by glances... I mean, why try to look great if you don't want people to look. BUT long stares through the mirrors while I squatting are creepy!0 -
Ehhh I don't like others looking at me in the gym. A few looks here and there won't bother, but if you're blatantly staring...yeah..I'd notice and I would't like it.0
-
looking doesn't bother me, i look too. i guess it could become creepy if you tend to follow me around or something unless i think you are really nice looking! LOL its natural, people stare...0

You are missing out! I once entered the testosterone pit of my gym to find 4 Greek Gods, one of which started rotating in on the weights with me... It's a blur but I'm hoping I didn't drool0 -
I stare But make it a point to look away before she catch me looking.... I don't know why But heyyyyyy I Looked !!!!! :laugh:0

WOW!
I would totally follow you around like a little puppy dog!0 -
TBH I find if you are concentrating too much on those around you, you aren't focused enough on your own workout.0
