    NO. Next time, call the guy out. Make him feel just as awkward as you do when he is obviously staring at you.

    I'm guilty of staring at women sometimes. Especially when they are on the cardio equipment.

    But not the for the reasons you might imagine.

    I know that it is harder for women to lose and control their weight and they carry more body fat than men, while at the same time being less muscular and having to exert themselves more when they exercise because their bodies are built differently. All while consuming less calories than I do.

    As I have been losing weight and trying to get fit, it is them I compare my own performance against. Not the guys. And I'm decidedly still lacking.

    If I see a woman running on the treadmill for 10 minutes and I can't even do 5. It lets me know I've still got a long way to go and if she can do it. Then I can do it, and I should be able to do it better. And if I can't then I just need to try harder.

    I let women serve as my inspiration

    I've reached around and given guys the finger while I was on the treadmill because they decided to also "sit" at the machine behind me, or my favorite, just standing there staring while I am doing squats or deadlifts.

    I like to just blare the finger in their face, or lay my hand across my *kitten* so they know that I know that they are staring at my butt.

    And I have also said rude mean things for them staring.

    Don't be afraid of those jerks, you are there for you. If they are bothering you, tell them about it!!! :drinker:

    Wow, that is completely unacceptable. It would make me (if I were a woman) want to know his whereabouts before I left the gym. I would certainly report him if any similar incidents occur.

    That being said, if there is someone I consider attractive working out that I have to pass to reach the equipment I want to use, I will take a (hopefully) discreet peek.

    Next time this happens here's what you do:

    1. Turn around
    2. Smile and Wave

    Usually as soon as they know you know they're staring they move haha

    What you do is:
    1. stop
    2. get off the trainer
    3. go over to the guy and (IN A VERY LOUD VOICE) "explain" to how the bike works - e.g. that one has To put one's feet on the pedals and make them go round.
    4. tell him he is entirely welcome (as if he had said thanks) and equally loudly tell him not to hesitate to ask the staff if the technicalities of the equipmet conTinue To be beyond him.

    ^^^ This!! I was thinking the same thing!

    So I'm at the gym on the elliptical drenched in sweat. I had been on there for over an hour. Two guys come in the gym. One of them goes to the back to start lifting. The other walks around for a bit then comes and sits down on the exercise bike that is right behind me. After a few minutes I notice he isn't working out. He is just sitting there staring at my butt as if it was a movie. I figure this activity would get boring after a while....it didn't. I had to just leave. This dude was really creepin me out :(

    Seriously... find the biggest guy you can see, and tell him exactly what you told us... i guarantee you that any person who takes the gym seriously will have an issue with this man.

    Do it...

    Perverts at my gym do not last long, or they shape up their act, real fast.

    I would have reported him to the staff at the gym. They don't want people there intimidating their customers and making them uncomfortable. I mean it's one thing for someone to check you out, that's going to happen. It's a whole other thing to make a point of sitting back and staring.
