I am NOT cute at the gym

I definitely don't look cute inside the gym but I sure look 'hot' when I step out.

You know... I do not get the whole going to the gym to hit on someone thought process. Trying to hit on someone or being hit on is the LAST thing I'm thinking about. I'm focused on working out and going home.

Though I will admit to ogling my boyfriend when he's having a "shoulder" day. There is just something yum about his shoulders. But, really? I came to the gym with him and I'm going home with him - totally different than going to the gym to try and find someone to go home with. LOL

chickie that cracks me up rotfl

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.

OMG girl! I am sooooooooooooooooooo glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I even mentioned it in my status not that long ago......
"I need to get some shirts made. One of them will say (front) There is a time and place to talk and be cute (back) The gym isn't one of them! Maybe then people will get the point. This isn't an episode of Cheers....I don't wanna know your name!"

Some men wanna act like you are there to talk to them. Um, what part of my workout clothes, ipod and sweat dripping down my body is telling you I entered this room to be approached by you? The gym is my "me" time! Respect it! lol

Here's a pro-tip

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

^ lmao

Get some white spandex and rub a chocolate bar down the outside buttcrack area...make sure the stain sets in...then wash it off..

Nobody will bother you, then.

My outfit may be cute, but that's about it. I'm not afraid to sweat! Last week I watched a gal put on some makeup in the bathroom, thinking she must be done working out, but no, she was getting ready to go workout. She looked quite dainty on the treadmill.

Having my Ipod is not only awesome for motivational music, but to tune everything and everyone out This is MY time!

I do NOT go to gyms unless I HAVE to. I set a gym up in my basement and I have only ME to impress! I use to lead fitness classes and give lifting instructions at a local wellness center so when it was MY time people still stopped me and asked questions and it really took the drive out of my push (if you know what I mean!) so that is why my gym got installed. A man interupted me one day to ask "what are you training for?" I was irritated and just said "LIFE" and went on lifting! He probably thought "what a bi+ch!" but at the moment I did not care! So in MY gym, to heck with earphones I can ROCK to blaring ACDC etc; (and LIFT) in my OWN world!!!

So am I weird for being kinda turned on when my wife's working out and all sweaty?

First...WHY OH WHY AM I NOT OBJECTIFIED AT THE GYM **hangs head and cries** What I would do to be objectified or hit on or even looked at...damn, some people get all the luck....over a year at the gym 4 - 5 times a week and nothin **cries harder**....However in saying that, I always go to the boys section of the gym to lift (aka...free weights) and I have gotten to know some of the guys who are all really nice but it was from them approaching me and saying things like ...."damn girl you are making us work harder cause your making us look bad" or some other workout comment...it made me feel like a bad *kitten* but also opened the door so when we see each other we can say hi and smile and it makes the gym a more enjoyable experiance...but still no flirting or getting hit on...damn..UGH

But then I am a wreck and sweaty and gross when I get done.

I think I look sweaty and gross enough that no one even things about coming near me, except for the enormously tall (I'm 5'10" so it takes a lot for me to feel like a shrimp, but he was probably close to 7' tall) man in the weight area the other day that was watching me between his own sets. It wasn't creepy, though - I think he just was making sure I was using proper form since he clearly knew what he was doing and I was the only girl over there at the time.

ETA: I'm sorry I killed the thread.

good thing I dont goto the gym, so I dont have to deal with this horsesh*t.

that is the same thing I say girl! I hate those stupid guys staring at you or saying hello like I care! it annoys me so much, I consider any approach as official harassment, the other day some old ugly dude came to use the ark machine next to me (there where like 10 empty ones next to either side of me, he kept on looking at me I kept on doing my thing, everytime he tried to say something I would just ignore him, so creepy! that's when I wish there was an all girls gym close to me... oh well... we have to suffer a few bugs if we ever want to be butterflies

me n my friend had issues with that last night... we were at a coffee shop in a room alone (yay we can do what we want) and her internet wouldnt start so we had to ask this middle eastren/indian/asian guy (he was one of the 3) to fix it... he got it though making us feel dumb

I know girl, lmao.

This is why I studied in the library with my earphones on music blasting, writing my papers. I am not here for you I'm here to get my higher learning on! Sittin here, gettin my nerd on and all you do is walk by and stare...

i tried that...i wound up half naked and stripped to my bra and yoga pants
