Discreet is good. We would all be lying if we said we did not look or take notice when someone is fit and looks good (man or woman). However you nor any decent human would not and SHOULD NOT say "if you don't want the attention wear baggie tanks and basketball shorts" No, just no!! Ugh!
Jeeeezus now I'm not a decent person because one sentence? Lighten up a tad branflakes0 -

When girls go there with a mac store on their face in hopes that the guys will notice them.
Guys shouldn't have buddies at the gym to talk to while working out?
I don't even know what the second one means but what's wrong with trying to get noticed in the gym? What places are more acceptable in your opinion to possibly meet somebody?0 -

If you're going to use 4 different sets of weights, both work and both alternate. When I come up and ask, "Can I use these?" and you say no... guess who's the b!+ch. YOU.
I also can't stand people who do like 8 sets of something even though they know you are waiting for the equipment or piece. The other day, this guy was using our ONE rope (2 went missing) and I asked if he was almost done, he said yes. He had already done 4 complete sets and continued to do 3 or 4 more. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THERE'S ONE EFFING ROPE AND YOU NEED TO DO EIGHT SETS?? Selfish.
If there's only one rope, that's your gym's fault, not his.0 -
I recently moved, and found in switching gyms that there are many of the same types of people, the ones you guys have mentioned, but each gym also has its own special kind of douche.
In gym #1, it was a guy who would cover himself in Icy Hot before his workout so the entire place smelled of it. Inescapable.
In gym #2, it's these two people who are training to be bodybuilders, but spend most of the time standing around looking at themselves and talking. They're also there every single time I come in, so they probably get a decent workout after about 12 hours.0 -
My gym as ONE shower. Putting your bag in the shower stall DOES NOT hold your shower place. Grrrrr!0

I wouldn't say it's disrespectful to be discreet but discretion does bring with it a connotation of doing something people would disapprove of does it not? Maybe you just aren't using the correct word.0

While you can be upset about your second issue. Do you know what program he is doing? Does he know what programs he is doing? Lots of people have no clue about what they are doing in the gym. You can't judge him for something you have no clue of.
How about did you ask to work in with him? You didn't but complain about the his workout routine and call him selfish. You really don't make yourself look good in this situation at all.0 -

Dude, you said that women should change what they wear if they don't want to feel uncomfortable from the creepy stares of dudes at the gym?? Sorry, but as a woman I don't take things like that "lightly" But in the spirit of lightening up, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day
because I am a lighthearted person underneath my irrational dislike of degrading comments.

Definitely grunters. Nobody wants to hear it. It's just wrong.0

When someone is using the weight machines that you want to use but they stop between sets and sit on their cell phone. Like, you don't actually mean to take a 2 minute break do you?? UGH!
Actually - I do. I lift as heavy as I possibly can push - usually to failure on each set. Sometimes it takes more than a minute for my musculature to recover. If I fail out of a set, I'm not giving up - I'm going for it again.

I don’t like to use the word hate, but highly dislike when people do not re rack their weights. Wipe off equipment of their sweat. The guy that yells every rep. and the people who throw their weights on the floor. Also the group of 5 teenage boys that cluster around 4-5 pieces of equipment taking turns through reps so those particular things are held up for an hour or more… One more thing... the chick that wears the shorts... the ones where myself and the rest of the gym has seen her hooha more than once...0

Boom!! Exactly!! All of the above!!0 -
I saw a guy that basically looked like Pretty Hate Machine era Trent Reznor. Boots and cutoff long black denim shorts, black sweatshirt, greasy hair, wallet chain.
Actually I wasn't mad, and I wasn't hating. I just thought "man, I hope he doesn't get caught in anything."
At least he was out there?0 -
When people leave the free weights on the machine so I have to put them away and then grab my own weights.
When people walk on the treadmill at a 15 incline but then hold on to the top of the machine. Yes it makes it easier to do that, but you are getting no benefit from the 15 incline now. What's the point? To impress me?0
