Yeah I see you, jerk

get in his face, lol. and tell him to stop showing off!

or....i like this idea better...

when he does his awesome sets of awesome stuff...just say "yeah, your awesome man, totally awesome". then laugh. he wont do it no more.

What a dbag. I've had a guy laugh at me too but not to the extent of your experience. But yeah get in his face or something or just completely ignore him.

If he is really starting to make you uncomfortable talk to gym management. What he is doing can amount to intimidation and harassment.

He sounds like a douche. Good on you for getting in the "boys" area of the gym in the first place, a lot of my mates won't go in there at all.

Maybe he's just trying to impress you and wants to get your attention. He's a goober nonetheless.

He clearly has a huge crush on you. Sad that he has to show off to try to get attention! Why not try to strike up a conversation instead, or, I dunno, be nice instead of douchey?

I was just going to type pretty much the same thing If a guy goes to that much trouble, he's flirting most likely. Might not mean he's making headway but some guys flirt like that.

When I'm in the weight room I used to get a lot of stares & feel like, crap, what the hell is wrong with me, is my shirt inside out or did I forget to put one on? Then I had a friend explain guy language to me (not ALL guys of course but some speak that sort of language) where they sneak peaks at you, ask if you need help or simply ignore you (although you feel their eyes on the back of your head when you're turned the other way, PLUS ah hello, there are mirrors! :blushing: :laugh: )

I think it's kinda cute now, it beats guys being a jerk and acting like you're a dumb female. That's no fun, but I'm not really at the gym to flirt, my time is short and I have time to workout but not to play so I typically don't play along. Well unless I'm with friends and time is not short and then I might hang out for a bit.:blushing:

Sorry it's distracting to you, he could be showing off because of insecurities or because he likes you either way it can sometimes get obnoxious if you're not interested in either one.

Enjoy the gym and think well of ppl they really might not be up to anything bad but simply trying to fit in themselves. :flowerforyou:

Mace works well for anyone who gets in your personal space. :laugh: So does dropping a weight on his foot when he's too close. Or just smacking him in the face with one while doing rear delts. (Oops, I'm sorry, I guess you were a little too close to me.) Gee, can you tell I like my personal space and have a problem with A-holes in the gym who invade it? My son has said he's going to get me a t-shirt made that says "I hit stupid people" so that the morons know to stay out of arms reach. I'm not entirely sure that some of those guys can read though, so I don't think that will help. Complaining to the management certainly does, though. When I was a gym manager, I thoroughly enjoyed kicking those guys out. When I managed a women's gym in a strip mall, I loved it when the idiots would try standing out on the sidewalk and look in because then I got to tell them to move on or I'd call the police. They have to leave if the management tells them too. Even if they have a membership, it can be cancelled immediately for inappropriate behavior. When their right to be a creep interferes with your right to feel safe and comfortable working out, legally they don't have their right to be a creep anymore.

LOL!!! Oh ya, you should act like his supersets are really impressive! "wow dude, you rock!"

Tell him your boyfriend can do better than that

Best solution ever. That or act like you're trying to shield your eyes and giggle hysterically as if he's got a hole in his shorts in a rather conspicuous place. (Bonus points if you're good enough at it to make him go to the bathroom to check for holes.)

Maybe he's trying to impress you. Scare him away by saying, "Yeah, before the surgery and the hormones, I could do that, too..."
