Why are girls constantly creeped on at the gym?

alexissalcido5

I honestly do not understand!! First I have to tell a story- the manager of the gym first started saying hi and so I felt it was my obligation to say hi back. Well..then he started I believe "taking advantage" of the situation. I thought that he wasn't creeping on me because he had a wife and daughter...he said "I never get any attention at home" and so when he hugged me I was like okay..but I honestly just did it out of pity. Then he started to come around when I was working out and he always wanted hugs from me. I could not stand his disgusting globs of cologne he put on but I just dealt with it because he is the manager! He then started saying things to my sister and she told me he was creepy and she was getting a weird vibe from him. I then decided it would be best if I ignored him and this is where it gets weird. He tried to give me a high five and I thought he was trying to hug me so I ignored him. When I left I heard him talking to the other employees about me. By the way, NOBODY LIKES HIM! He then proceedes to go up to me when I am working out and ask me what is wrong. WE ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP OLD MAN! I don't EVEN KNOW YOU! He seriously just creeped me out and now I don't know what to do. There are several guys also at the gym that creep on me everytime I go there. I dress modestly and yet when I turn around there you are staring at my butt. I DON'T LIKE YOU! Any other girls feel me? And what should I do about the gym manager? help?

Don't hug gym managers and ignore men who stare at you if you're not interested... they will get bored eventually

Probably switch gyms or report him. Us guys are a horny lot and when we see an attractive woman we stare. Is it right? Some women love it, most hate it. I try to keep my eyes to myself at the gym because its a gym and not a **** house. Though sex at the gym would be a good work out, lol. Either way I feel bad that your getting unwanted attention. If it bothers you its definately not right!

I got called a creep at the gym because I had just crawled off the treadmill, and happened to glance to an area of the gym that a girl was in. I didn't even notice her.

Your situation sucks, and he seems like a creep.

But overall, I'd say it's more of a mentality that most women think all men at gyms are creeps. When in reality, there are a lot of people there, and we just glance around between sets, or areas. And are not creeping on you.

You just need to develop your b*tchface muscles like I did.

This is harrassment. Report him. He has no right to treat you that way.
Any time I've ever been harrassed or mistreated in a gym situation I always reported it.
If the gym does not fire this guy, immediately, demand your money back.

etoiles_argentees

Let me guess, you're 19, the old creepy guy is like 30. Ignore him.

cartoonlover

Moon them while telling them to take a picture and switch gyms. :laugh:



(There is no reason for you to have to put up with that. If you A) dont want to confront them or tell them to bugger off or C) ignore them then you are going to have to think about switching gyms.)

elprincipito

maybe you're meant to marry a creep.

AlphaToOmega

Is 30 the age you become old and creepy?? @#$%

alexissalcido5

sorry but uhh...married with kids and at least in his late forties with greying hair isn't really my type.

BusyRaeNOTBusty

"I'm sorry Joe, you're a nice guy and all but the attention you gives me makes me uncomfortable. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't hug me anymore" THEN if he doesn't stop you report.

AlphaToOmega

So what is your type? How you doin?

taunto

"hey I'm sorry I'm currently trying to workout". Simple. I don't know the whole story or anything but if he's walking up to you and bothering you then just tell him you're occupied and if he doesn't move, say it loudly to leave you alone

alexissalcido5

I read all of ya'lls comments and I definitely think I'm going to report him if he keeps it up. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.


Could you please restate this in a way that doesn't make me feel old?

I don't understand.

Hmm..sorry but I don't think you should creep on girls that are half your age.

ROFL..I was waiting for someone to do this

drmerc

I watch them though a series of wall mirrors so they never know

Those are the best ones!

sorry but uhh...married with kids and at least in his late forties with greying hair and a refusal to wear sunglasses isn't really my type.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand.

See? I'm your friend.

I couldn't read very clearly but I didn't really read anywhere in your posts you saying that you asked him to leave you alone. Ask him to leave you alone, politely but firmly first, if he doesn't listen, say it loud enough that his co-workers and/or other gym members can hear you. If it still carries on, report him

Jumping steps would only hurt you in the long run

I don't understand.

Why not? Look if you don't like older guys...cool on you. If there is a guy bugging you - do something about it. In this case, either tell him off or report him.

Second, if other guys are looking at your *kitten* then kudos to you. Either ignore it or take it as a compliment and move on!!!!!!!!

Barbellerella

I think you should reconsider complaining that the guys in the gym are looking at you. As you get older, you'll appreciate it! I love it when the guys watch me lift.. sometimes they're watching because I'm showing them up!

1ConcreteGirl

A) He's crossing a line

Stand up for yourself instead of complaining to Internet strangers.

dmpizza

I want the managers of the New York Sports Club to see this.
The only people in the gym that get attention from the trainers are pretty girls.

I expect that pretty girls will get alot of attention, who doesn't like to talk to pretty women?

However the trainers at my gym are ridiculuous. They get the girls magazines, they talk to them for more than 1/2 hour at a time, and they pretty much ignore everyone else.

bearkisses

:flowerforyou: This is totally harrassment, just ignore him and if he persists despite you ignoring him I would report him. You have the right to feel safe and comfortable and not awkward and creeped on, especially when you are paying for your membership there. Good luck

Glad I didn't let you down...how YOU doin?

Agreed. A well-developed b*tchface works like a charm. At the gym mine looks like this: :sick:

My wife totally agrees with you on that point.
