Why are girls constantly creeped on at the gym?

I'm a perv.. I perv on posture and form.

However I am usually far too concerened with my exhale than fixating my eyes on women's assets at the gym.

The thing with gym instructors for the 10% that are freaked out there are the remaining girls who find it stimulating.. Like the guy in uniform thing.. It's an unwritten rule that sti's outbreaks are localised around a gym

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?

I think I will join a gym just to get hit on... Since I'm pushing 40 and all :huh:

Hey, I'll creep on you, but then that would make you old and creepy since I'm only 33. lol

There is a fine line between a man noticing a woman and gawking at them. Most women, I feel, appreciate being appropriately noticed; very few enjoy being gawked at. Seems at most gyms, men are almost hyper-sensitive about that difference and won't give women the time of day in fear of being deemed the creeper. I for one don't want that designation and, even worse, being known as the old creeper (I'm 39 after all).

So, what did we all learn today from this thread?

1) Say no to hugging gym managers (and say heck no to over 30 year-old, married, with children, gym managers)
2) Not all men are pervs
3) Women that defend pervs aren't desperate
4) Over 30 is deemed old
5) The length of gym membership/attendance varies from MFP member to MFP member
6) Always consult a physician before starting an exercise program

Okay, #6 wasn't discussed but it's worth noting.

ok I'm kind of seeing a pattern here so let me try to summarize. English isn't my first language and you literally went on and on so I might have missed something, please let me know if I did

1) He said hi, you said hi (even though you didn't really wanted to. Next time, skip it if the guy looks creeper)

2) He started talking to you, you talked back thinking its the cool thing do (again, something you can skip if you don't like the guy or are getting creeper vibe from him)

3) While you guys are talking, he hugs you. Maybe because he's a horny pervert, maybe because theres problems at home. Only him and god knows I guess (again, next time, tell them to stop or step back when they get into your personal space)

4) he talked to your sister, who I assume is a member at the gym too (I hate it when people talk to their customers. How rude)

5) You decided to just start ignoring him after you have talked to him and even hugged him (NOT a smart move. Seriously, all joking aside, dunno if THIS guy is really a creeper or not but for your safety in future, donot do that in case you find somebody crazy)

I have yet to read anywhere where you told the manager "hey, let me workout please and try not to disturb me and my sister while we are working out" or just plugged an mp3 player.

You're basically willing to report and throw this guy out of a job just because he looks like a creeper? Are you serious? Please, tell him to back off like a normal and mature person. If he doesn't listen, THEN you go and report him. The reason I am telling you this is because in the offchance, god forbid, you DO find yourself a real creeper, your wrong actions can cause troubles in future

Good luck and stay safe
