why do girls..

I like connecting to people in the gym too.
Once I went and spotted this guy on bench press. His girlfriend did not appreciate it.

Apparently you're supposed to be standing at the end of the bench, as opposed to sitting on the guy's lap. Who knew?

Really? I always found the lap seat to be the most comfortable for my workout purposes. So many unwritten rules at the gym :grumble:

if the guy were good looking, i would want him there even less, while i'm in the middle of a hot sweaty workout!!

hmm...ok
Why is that?

Ok, but what if he ain't talking to or bothering her?
Don't think that would mess up the focus then, no?

ummmmm cause i'm disgustingly sweaty and gross? and even if i wasn't, at that particular moment, then yes, it's a focus thing.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ok

Same reason guys don't piss at the urinal next to another guy.

i get super creeped out when someone goes on a machine right next to me when there groups of empty ones. its like those weird creepy guys that sit right next to you on a bus when its like empty.
just no.

I do not think about this EVER

I like to pick the treadmill next to a woman and do one tenth of a mile faster to see if she will increase her speed. If she does then I increase mine. Some ladies are very competitive, let's just say that.

come stand next to me...i dont like to go too fast.

shame.:bigsmile:

wear yoga pants and a t-shirt with winter boots?

I'll throw in my 2 cents.
I am intimidated by anyone at the gym who looks fit, because I don't. That's just me.
I go to get fit and lose weight, and it helps me to have no one in my peripheral vision distracting my thoughts.

I am very self concious and when theres a fit person right next to me on a treadmill running fast when I'm just walking, or can only maintain a jog for a couple minutes, then I find in my mind I am comparing myself unfavourably to them.
Then I feel bad about myself. If I feel bad, I'm not going to want to stay and keep working out, I'll want to leave.
It is certainly easier to pick a machine with no one on either side. Out of sight, out of mind.
I know I am obese and unfit, I don't need to be reminded while I'm working out.

I don't care who is next to me as long as they are working hard. If I see the person next to me working their butt off, it motivates me to work out even harder. My best workouts is when I am trying to do better than the person next to me.

you should get that guy's number up there^^^:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

worry about what a guy thinks about them... Stand up, be a GIRL! ha

Nothing like female paranoia..

Be friendly with a woman or it seems even get next to them on a treadmill and they think you have an ulterior motive !!!

Me , I just wish i had a $ for every time thats not the case and another $ for everytime they ve thought they ve read the signals right and got angry at me when they realise I dont fancy them and am just being friendly.

They get angry?! What in the world happened to being polite :grumble: :noway:

Well, that's understandable if they're all up in your face like that, but I meant just common courtesy haha.
