Guys who work out at the gym...questions..

[Mithra]

I'm pretty reserved with flirting when I'm at the gym. I assume women are there to work out, not to socialize or "pick up." No guy wants the reputation of the "creepy gym pick up guy." Why don't you just approach your gym crush and say hello?

Because she's a psycho, just look at her other posts.

If you really want people to look at you at the gym just tack a "look at me" sign to your ass while you work out. I'm quite sure that would work. Or you could just walk in naked one day maybe????

I just glance by making it look like I moving my head from focusing on one side of the gym to the other. In this brief moment I try to take in as much as I can. I hate it when my machine,etc is perfectly lined up with some hot gal doing squats. I mean it's hot, but boners at the gym are a no no!
Besides with mirrors on every wall I usually look in the opposite direction and can still see all the hotties in the gym. All guys look, we just try not to get noticed.

It's easy to pick out the girls that are there to workout and the ones there to pick up guys. The music blaring with headphones on going hardcore on the treadmill gals don't want to be bothered. They're there to workout.
If you see a woman with makeup all done and lipstick, you know what she's there for and it's not to workout. They're usually the ones spending 99% of their time talking.

Someone had a valid question and the response has run the gamut from people trying to be helpful to poor attempts at humor which are nothing more than nasty comments to outright insults which are totally unjustified.

I know it is very difficult to have some manners and not be rude and insulting but there seem to be a lot of people who posted on this thread who need to try it.

OK this conversation is pretty much dead. Can we please let it die?

Probably not.
Your best solution is to just let all the people who have ruined this thread continue to post among themselves until they get bored.

Approach!? like how? The one guy at the gym who's attention I would really like to get wears a wedding ring. I would be happy enough for him just to LOOK at me. Im not saying lets go to the back staircase and fuck (although *cough* ya know...maybe ..j/k)
These guys...I swear to you..I wish I could wear a hidden camera to the gym tonight. I would walk by every hot guy at the gym and you could see them not even look up, no eye contact...its bizarre. They must be trying really hard NOT to look, or they look after I'm already gone.

Perhaps, my earlier post was not direct enough. My workout buddies and I (all athletically fit, body fat % in the mid-teens and in our late 20's and early 30's) go to the gym for one purpose only: to workout! Hell, we don't even socialize that much between ourselves. Maybe in the lockerroom or parking lot, but never for extended rest periods in the weight or cardio areas. That said, we've all been hit on, asked to spot or assist in removing weights. At times it's rather annoying as we need to break our routines, pause from our timed mini-circuits, etc. or blantly waste time. And yes, some women are not very subtle when they hit on us. If we want to meet women, we go to bars, gallery events or other places where the risk of harassment won't be so much of a problem.

Probably should have addressed this above. At one of the gyms where I workout, this one hottie has a tramp stamp (it's very artistically designed and the 69 in the center is turned sideways. She always wears tight shorts and a halter as if she purposely wants guys to notice. Now, I have nothing against tats as I have a rather distinctive one of the right side of my torso. I do attempt to make sure it's covered. I digress, so back to the topic. If she's on one of the ellips or TMs, I purposely make it a point never to be on a machine behind her as I feel like vomiting every time I see her. Furthermore, she's the last person I'd ever make a point of noticing or speaking to despite her facial beauty. I realize that women often don't understand men, but realize that the reverse is also true.

Totally off topic

For some reason I just recalled an old mathematical formula

Again...dead subject..please lets just let it drop!!! I go to the gym..I do my workout..I leave...period..OK...no more need to discuss.

 

[D_Dick_Wacker]

np, I'll never help again!

What did you expect? Really, what did you expect?

And just to prove the type of person you are, you have posted more in less than 10 days then some members here have in YEARS.(96 posts at my last count and today is the 10th of the month you joined) You want attention, you will get it. Keep posting. But dont expect it to be the attention you want.

Funny that you said to let this thread die and yet you posted on more time.

I'm sorry if you think I was one of the posters who was rude or trying to be funny but in all seriousness I was simply being honest. As MANY people here have stated when they go to the gym it is not to be looked at or to look at others. MOST people who go to the gym do so to workout. The same goes for myself (though I have not been in a little over a year due to medical reasons). When I do go back which will be soon I will not be going to be looked at or to look at men. I will be going to work on my health and to make myself feel better. The gym is not a parade or a spectacle.....it is a place to workout and that is it.

Most guys are decent guys no matter what women say. At my gym I know guys AND ladies look, but are very very discreet about it, I mean come on its human nature to look.

Guys I have questions about the gym. I work out about 5 days a week and I see some guys on a fairly regular basis. I go in the later afternoon or evening because I like to go when there are a lot of people around (helps my energy level). So what I want to know is WHY does it seem like guys don't notice me, or ever look at me? First of all, I am not a supermodel but I'm tall, in good shape and usually wear rather fitted tops at the gym. Nobody looks at me...nobody makes eye contact...the older guys with big bellies, the young college guys, big, small whatever nobody ever looks, nobody smiles. They all seem to be talking to eachother or concentrating on the machines.

Now...before you think I'm vain...It just seems like human nature that people as they pass eachother would naturally look, smile or generally acknowledge eachother, right???

Of course I want to hot guys to look at me, god knows I look at them (flirt with my eyes) but they dont seem to notice.

One thing is, my trainer told me that maybe guys who REALLY arent looking are the ones who are looking but trying not to look. Could this be true?

Its giving me a complex! Do you look??? Do you flirt?? Do you even notice the girls at the gym? Do you try not to look?

BTW I dont see any guys checking out any girls so I dont think it's just me..

UGH! Sweetguy my comments were not directed at you, I'm sorry. You just happened to be the last person to post.
This post has gotten so incredibly out of hand. I know how fun it is to pick on people and make snap judgements especially when you can hide behind your keyboard and say whatever you want.

I feel like I just can't win this one. Some people have decided that if you wonder why people don't make eye contact at the gym you must be an attention seeking whore. OK, think whatever you want. I do wear an Ipod on the treadmill, I do not interrupt people when they work out, I don't have a tramp stamp, I dont wear tight shorts. I go for fitness. I honestly thought it would make the time there more fun if people were a little friendlier and I wondered why they werent.

Thats it. I am sorry if it's more fun to create drama, or assume a person's intentions are sinister/stupid/crazy...whatever.

here's a tip: save your posts in this thread and reread them in 10 years.

 

[D_Lortius Waxwillow Piddlepoop]

seaside, can I offer you some advice for future posting since you aren't happy with how things have turned in one, maybe two of your threads?

Most of us here, both male and female, though admittedly more so for the woman, deal with new members on a daily basis, we have learnt to read entire posts, posting histories and see bits in said posts that the poster may have hoped would go unnoticed. We see the signs of the attention seekers, those wanting wank material, we can spot a fake from 10miles away, and it pisses us off because it feels like we're being treated like blind fools.

Now I'm the first to admit that from time to time, we get it wrong, but not often.

Your post above is about eye contact, and people being a little more friendly at the gym, however, you mentioned at least twice, your tight top, your breasts, your breast size, the fact that your breasts bounce, and all of those things go against the message you were trying to convey, as did your comments about the married guy and you practically staring at him. Your post history also contains another thread where you mention several times that you're an amazing lay, to the point where you even said (roughly) "Anyone who has seen my posts about blow jobs, knows that any guy would be lucky to be with me"

My advice to you, is that if you are after direct advice, feedback or opinions, then ask a direct question, and don't fluff it out with other comments which to everyone else reading, look like attention seeking, because that is all they are going to see.

I'm not being a bitch, we've all added extra bits to posts which have little or nothing to do with the actual question we're asking, and it has clouded the replies we've had. I'm offering you honest advice from someone who has been in your shoes, and is reading your posts in the same manner as all those others who responded in a way which didn't fit your reasons for posting.

^^^ yeah what she said! ^^^

Based on your short yet prolific history here, all I have to say is that if the shoe fits...
