    You might be giving off a "don't talk to me or I'll cut you" vibe. :mad: I personally make an effort to give off that vibe myself - it cuts down on awkwardness and wasted time. If you *want* to be hit on more, though, try smiling more and wearing less. :wink:

    I've never been hit on at the gym either. But I don't look cute at all at the gym. I go with my headphones in, no makeup, hairjust up and get all sweaty running on the treadmill. No one wants to hit on that. Lol

    I has never happened to either and I definitely don't mind. I hate it when I am running and cars honk, or the gross guys that grope you in bars and clubs. BLEKH

    Glad I can workout at the gym without being bothered :)

    You're beautiful so you probably just intimidate them! ha!

    When I worked out at a gym I'd deal with the sweaty guys coming over and bugging me. I just ignored them. I think the worst was when it was some creepy guy. I didn't give up on the gym because of him but it was annoying. He'd come up behind me and be like "WOW daaayyyyyummmm" I realized mentally/socially he probably was clueless but instead of giving him a reaction I just ignored him or gave him one word answers neutrally like "Busy."

    I treat it as I get hit on no matter where I go. Most of the time it's unwanted but I just ignore them figuring it's the best way to handle it. I feel like a piece of meat, an object when they do it. I guess one can say I prefer guys who smile at me, are subtle in their flirting and have small talk with me versus someone saying I'm hot and coming on waaayyy too strong.

    Guys do smile at me, but I never get hit on, simply because it's obvious that I'm there to work out, and not to socialise.

    Not here either... ultimately if I don't find a guy at church, I'd like to at the gym. I mean, I want to share those things that are most important to me.
    People do look, especially if I'm like in regular clothing...maybe if my hair is down/earrings are in, etc... I'm pretty sure I give off the vibe not to mess with me while I'm working out.

    I've never been hit on at the gym. Ever. An ex first noticed me at the gym, but we actually met/got hit on at a mutual friend's party.
    I definitely think I put out the "don't talk to me vibe", not intentionally.

    Someone posted in the thread about not having a gym membership that they felt gyms were for single people. I was kinda surprised. I have never gone to the gym to pick up or meet people, nor have I met someone at the gym that I dated. I just don't really get that.

    Hilarious! I'm way too intimidating, learned to be that way after the first 2 weeks, some guys can be creepy. Lately, I'm more concerned about my 13 year daughter in the gym. She is never 2 feet away from me and sometimes I just want to walk up to guys and say "DUDE, she's 13! WTF?"...actually I have a couple times....:/

    I'm not sure if the guy was hitting on me, or just being overly friendly, but he interrupted my workout to ask me about the particularly spectacular bite bruise I had on my shoulder. After I explained how I had gotten said bruise (from a "friend" ;-) ), he shuffled off, then came back and attempted to apologize for being nosy. Strangely enough, he never bothered me after that.

    I don't, either. But having seen what I look like when I'm running, both in photos and unfortunate glances in the mirror while on a treadmill... I don't blame 'em!

    I am the same, and I have checked out the guys at my gym and there really is nobody I would want to approach me when I go.

    Some tips:

    - Wear less clothing
    - Sweat more seductively
    - More groaning

    I over heard some guy telling his friend he wanted to hit on me...but it never happened...the next day I forgot to take my engagement ring off while I was on the elyptical (and it's amazing if I do say so myself), haven't seen him since.

    Never gotten hit on at the gym but I like to go when there is no one there. I can see my apartments gym from my back porch so I wait until there is no one there and then go work out lol I get self conscious and distracted if other people are there.

    People trying to turn the gym into a singles joint are just desperate.
    My first impression is always "what's wrong with this lady"?

    It doesn't happen to me either, but that may be because my body pump instructor (a catholic school mom), decided that because my name was Mary, she would call me "sister". So now people think a I am body pumping nun. Not great for my love life, but kind of amusing. :ohwell:

    AWWW!
