Sweating at the Gym... Hot or Not?

I joined the gym about a month ago after working out with a trainer for about a year. Sweating in private, not a big deal. But, when at the gym, especially doing intense cardio - I can glisten profusely. So, anyone have thoughts on this being a turn on or off to members of the opposite sex. (Not that they gym is a place to date, just wondering.)

I wouldn't say sweating is really very attractive. I know when i get all sweaty I get bright red in the face too, no idea why, but I'm guessing its not very attractive. Although I don't think anyone really cares either haha. Everyone's supposed to look gross at the gym, otherwise you're not doing it right. (:0

I'm too busy staying focused to even care if I'm too sweaty.0

Sweating is very sexy. Keep in mind that workout sweat doesn't smell like nervous sweat does.
Also, people that do not generate a good sweat at the gym spend most of their time talking with their trainers and reading people on a machine just look foolish.0 -
Hot... as long as you wipe down the benches after
Would you rather do a pointless workout and look pretty and unglistny or kick *kitten* and have an amazing body.
But most of all, who cares. It is a gym... people go there to sweat, it is sort of the point. The majority of people are going to be focused on their own thing and won't notice you anyways.0 -

must admit i agree i don't care......but
it is embarrassing for me as im literally dripping at the end of a session, i mean wet t shirt contest winner dripping
i apologised to the girl next to me once
AND
my PT said 'i wonder why you sweat so much' albeit in a nice way i still hate that i run hotter than Mavericks afterburners in Top Gun0 -
I think it's totally sexy (well, not on me so much - at least not yet). You can tell that person is working hard when they get to sweating. As long as the person doesn't stink up the joint then bring on the sweat!
For myself I feel my sweatstains are a badge of honor showing how hard I've pushed my fat rear in my workout! :laugh:0 -
Personally, I'm not a fan of sweat. My husband's a "sweater" and it freaks me out if his sweaty arm accidentally mine. However, of all public places to sweat, the gym is THE PLACE. Better there than at an office, or something.0

Pretty hot to me. Yes it is.0

I feel hot, probably because I feel strong, but I'm sure I look gross. I feel so good though after a workout.0

If your not sweating, your not working hard enough.0

I'm the same way - It's one step shy of embarrassing for me. And then, afterwards, I'm like George Costanza "It didnt take". :-)0 -
I don't think it's strange if you don't sweat at the gym?! I use to be a newbie care what everyone else thinks of me person when I was working out, but now I just don't focus on it too much. Everyone is there for a purpose and honestly if you're not sweating than maybe should work harder! Just saying lol0

I don't think it really matters whether it's hot or not, like everyone else said, your exercising and should be sweating. And I don't know about anyone else but I know that when im at the gym exercising, I'm seriously not paying attention to whether the people around me are sweating or not because I'm too focused on myself. Chances are, nobody is looking to see how much your sweating anyways and if they find it as a turn off, then they can look at someone else!0

This is going to sound really gross, however, my only purpose for going to the gym is to get into shape.
I get up in the morning, eat breakfast, put on my baseball cap to hide my bird's nest hair and go directly to the gym.
Once I am done my workout I shower and go to work.
I garauntee that there is nothing sexy about how I look or smell during my workout, but that isn't the point.
Greatest feeling in the world!0 -
I am one of those fortunate who don't sweat profusely when exercising. However the drawback is that I have to moisturize a lot or my skin gets really scaly. But it was a great advantage growing up since acne wasn't an issue.
