I may even go out of my way to look 'A hot mess' as I would put it. I try to make myself unapproachable (earphones in ear, music blasting) therefore it is (or should be) very clear that I am not here for YOU, I am here for ME. Im not rude, just not interested. So dont get all in your feelings when I don't talk to you or respond to your wack *kitten* pick up lines! Boy please, go somewhere before your feelings get hurt.

    Here's a pro-tip

    When Casanova approaches, let him get within a couple feet and rip a big 'ol exercise fart.

    That's why I don't go to the gym. All the big, buff dudes stare at me while I try I lift weights. Not checking me out of course but mocking my skinniness and my inability to bench more than 50 lbs. :( haha

    But yea you go in there, turn the volume up and ignore your surroundings. Unless you might be in harms way then don't ignore your surroundings and be careful with newbies like me lifting weights. XD

    I think you'll find all the big guys are zoned into their workouts and aren't looking at what you press. To be honest once you get to a certain level you realise that everyone has their beginnings, started somewhere and that if anything you get involved with the smaller guys, not to take the piss but help if they need help. No more.

    I agree ^^^

    the only people who tend to stare are the really vain people (skinny, fat, muscular all shapes) who go to socialise and personally, if they have time to stare then they aint exacly in no place to judge you as it is, I do understand people feeling they are been stared at thats just insecurity that most people feel when they first join the Gym, I know I did, youll find the bigger guys are the people who genreally offer tips and advise in a helpful manner

    Gross! I am wondering how you can possibly invoke a gasseous emission on cue like that in response to the second (first?) response.

    I go in looking cute and come out looking like a hot mess. I made the mistake of inviting a friend to take a walk after a 2 mile run... Let's just say I'm never making that mistake again.

    I say, if you still look cute after a workout, you didn't work hard enough. I look awful at the gym. I look okay at first....neat ponytail, dry clothes, but after about 20 minutes, my hair is all over and my clothes are gross and my face looks like a tomato! :)

    I don't really try anything, I just can't seem to get in to any convo other than lifting while at the gym. Even if one of the trainers is walking by and just saying looking good, I am like what? huh? part of it is my head phones the other is I am busy and just really zoned out in to my lifting. After I am done I can listen and interact, but during I just can't seem to break that zone.

    Not something I care to change either :flowerforyou:

    I went to LA FItness today for the first time with the wife. She was on the ellipticals and I hit the treadmills. I saw about 3 dudes that were basically flexing the entire time and walking around the gym on their cellphones. They would sit at the machines, do a couple of light sets, and just remain there during the entire hour long duration of my workout. Coming from the company gym, I can't say that I liked the atmosphere really, but as long as people stay out of my way and mind their business I'm fine. There was hotties there as well, but I barely noticed, as I was too busy trying not to be fat, lol!

    Maybe it's the fact that I go to a military gym (when I actually go) that that kind of thing never happens to me....... lol. Everyone is so focused on actually working out.
