    Most I've had is smiles from women and stares from guys, but nothing more! Clearly I'm not sporting it up enough in the gym .. :grumble:

    Edit: To be fair, I have buds in, sometimes hood up .. and I'm there to use the equipment, not to socialize and find a mate.. most of the time I don't even make eye contact.

    Smiles from women..because you looking great. Stares from guys..means they envy of you :tongue:

    Well be proud of strangers oogling on you when you are doing gym workout :wink:

    I always throw **** when waitresses call me "sweetie." I mean that **** is CREE-PY!

    And don't even get me started on getting PMs with naught pics. These ladies need to step back. I mean, this is a fitness website, right? WWJD?
    What's a wwjd??

    What would Jeff do? Duh...

    Knife is a terrible weapon. A few punctures with a small blade isn't going to kill someone instantly. It's a close range weapon and can produce quite a lot of blood which could be infected with God knows what.

    Not terribly difficult to disarm someone with a small knife, then use it on them.

    Has to be better options.

    I do not work out at a gym but

    just walking down the street and some guy got right in my face saying "WHOA YOU HOT HEY STOP WANNA SUCK MY **** HEY" I wish I had a knife honestly ...I wish I had a knife in this moment

    one time a man followed me all the way to the grocery store (I was walking) he went in followed me around the store until he could corner me and ask me out ..every time I told him to **** off he just kept saying " hey im being nice to you id take you to a nice place give me a chance" calllllly the cops....that guy followed me around again two more times btw

    I need one of those lipstick knives and lots of bear spray

    I live in a fairly small suburban town but I am still incredibly paranoid about things like that. A few weeks ago I went walking down my road (I live just on the outskirts of town so pretty heavily populated) and on the way back I noticed a young guy standing at the corner of a store for several minutes doing nothing. As soon as I passed he starts walking behind me and followed me for several blocks. He eventually went down the road just before mine but things like that really freak me out. Every time I go out, especially whenever there are people just hanging around, I'm constantly on the look out. A lot of people like to go super slow as they drive by on the days I walk on the road. Creeps me out, especially since a little girl in my town was almost abducted at gunpoint recently.

    yup it is horrifying & happens way to much

    street harassment is disgusting and needs to stop / be stood up against & taken seriously by authorities

    I"m contemplating hiding two more on me when I start running at 4 am.
    Oh my god, you do the crazy timing running, too XD lol.
    Once I even grabbed a random shard of glass on the floor just in case haha.

    Not in this country. Guns and pepper spray are illegal. BUT- I can carry a knife.

    I try to do it at night because I cannot stand the heat.
    I swear, the heat turns me into a completely different person.. I get all slow and sluggish.. Good for heart rate, but nothing more, I'll be hiding under the first shadow I find.

    Where I live the heat is abominable and even at 7am/ 8am.. it's pretty bad. That said... I've acclimatized enough that an overcast 80F day has me wearing jeans and feeling slightly chilly.

    Knife is probably inadequate. Get Pepper spray and a conceal permit to carry the bad news.

    That being said, living in the South, it is customary for cashiers and waitresses in "greasy spoon restaurants" to call all men "hun or sweety"... Nothing is meant by it and we all know it... and yes, it can feel a little uncomfortable but we know they mean nothing by it... Asking you to get in their car and "checking out the goodies".... yeah, that is not kewl. You may want to discuss this with your gym staff as well ... they probably don't want creepers around. Meanwhile, if they are real pervos, you want to be able to defend yourself and convince them that they need to turn from their wicked ways and change their lifestyle...

    This is for the ladies and the men. Please don't be shy and share.


    Sooo... Ever had creepos hit on you while you work out?
    Ask you to get into their cars....?
    Call you "sweetie" out of nowhere...? While they check out your.. "goodies"?
    Lick their lips at you....? And then wink?
    +other creepy stuff??


    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!
    Okay, that's off my chest.
    And people wonder why I carry a knife.

    A knife is better than nothing, but a gun would be best. Even if you don't shoot the attacker the gun shots would be heard and the cops would show up. Unless you live near me, they might ever show up around here.

    Might need a flare gun, then.

    I'm in law school and I use the gym at the university rec center. It's mostly filled with undergrads that are 10+ years younger than me. They are ALWAYS staring at females working out. Yay for sharing a workout space with horny college dudebros :/

    When I lived in NC, I would frequently see one of my neighbors lurking around outside. I asked him to help me move something heavy once... what a mistake that was... one night I was sitting at my computer in the living room and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I looked to my right and there was his eye... staring at me through a crack in the vertical blinds on my sliding back door... totally fraking, freaked me out!!! I moved soon after that!

    Worse case I had was when I wrecked my bike in Idaho many years back, a guy help me lift my motorcycle into the back of his truck and drove an hour to nearest shop. Turned out he was an ex cop who killed his boyfriend and was on bail. He was well known because of small population, luckily some young ladies gave me the heads up...
  • You really are upset about being called hun or sweetie? I worked in retail for many years, where I am from it seems to be the norm. Though I didn't start using 'pet' names until I started working at a Subway restaurant. All the girls there called customers "Dear" because it's a very small town and I found myself doing it out of habit. No ulterior motives or sexual innuendo intended.

    Sorry I was talking about the guys in grocery stores and restaurants. That's why I mentioned retail. Though I do agree the car honking, lewd comments from cars and just walking down the street can be disconcerting. I used to get that when I was younger and in shape.
