Those People at the Gym

So you're saying that staring at you while you're getting dressed or undressed is a bad thing... ok -something to keep in mind I suppose -but, punkin' ya are really cute ya know, sometimes people can't help themselves.

Mr "Meat Gazer" - This fella was sitting down in the locker room when I went in to change... Nothing new, people sit down to put on their shoes all the time. The ENTIRE time i was changing / preparing, he just sat there, fully dressed, chewing his power bar, watching me... I mean, I GUESS it is cool and all if he wants to take a peek at the tenderloin, but if I wind up missing, someone forward this post to the authorities. Uber creepy.

:rotflmao: You should write down a thorough description for future reference. One of my friends likes to dance while dressing if she thinks someone is watching. She feels they at least deserve a show. :D

Unfortunately/fortunately I use the rec that my student fees pay for, so most of the people there are students. Therefore, besides the girls that exercise with chandelier earrings, there aren't many annoying people since they are still too concerned with what people think about them, which is really silly since the chances of running into people you know is somewhat slim on a campus with 40,000 people.

However, today I experienced Ms."Ignores the People Around Me":
I decided to go jog on the track on the third floor instead of using the treadmill and this girl would jog by me when I was walking between intervals and then would move over to walk in front of me and walk much slower than I was. So after I would end up tailgating her, I would get irritated and just start jogging a little earlier to go around her. After about the third time, I made it my goal to not let her get in front of me again, so I ended up feeling as though I was being chased the whole time. Not really what I'd call a fun workout. I wish she would have just started her walking behind me, since she either knew she was doing it or couldn't feel my breath on the back of her neck when she would slow down. Additionally, when she would start jogging she wouldn't pay attention if people were coming up behind her and almost had a few collisions.

Like I said, I guess if that is his thing, then that is cool. The fact that he was so unabashedly staring at me while I was changing was the disconcerting part. I mean, I love me a good set of honkers, but I don't sit and STARE at a pair. Glance, move away. Glance, move away.
 
I always feel bad at gyms.. basically because I feel like everyone is looking at me. I joined curves last summer and it was really nice, but as I don't have a car and it's WAY too far to walk, I'm s-o-l about that.

I wish I could be one of those girls that walks around wearing only the sports bras :(

well -ya know -maybe he was just in awe... and couldn't turn away... did ya ever think of that? :D and we might need some photographic evidence to be sure... :D

oh and i've seen some fellas do the staring of the honkers thing - never at me but - i've seen it done -to the point of drooling - many ofo them don't have the sense to look away :)

Along these lines, I actually spaced out the other day (I daydream a lot) and came back to reality with my eyeline straight at a pair of gazongas. The lady had seen me looking, and was looking right back at me. Not angry or anything, but just like "yeah... they're there... congratz for finding 'em".

Threw her a quick blush and walked away. I'm pretty awesome.
 
I think if those chicks at the gym only wear a sports bra and not an actual shirt like everybody else, that's an open invitation to gawk. If somebody really doesn't want anybody checking out certain body parts, they'd cover them up a little better.
 
GOOOOOOOO

Apparently, I am one of "those people"... this thread sparked a conversation between me and my friends. I got an email while I was at golds over lunch from one of my old college buddies, and apparently people that worked out at the same gym that I did in college knew me as "weight room dancer"...

I've had a workout MP3 player since they first came out... I always load the things with the best pump / work out music, and crank it up real loud so I can't hear "sally, size zero" telling her friend about the benefits of bullemia while I am trying to get serious. I may, on occasion, tend to wiggle my butt / dance around / enjoy my music. *sigh*

Also, another new locker room winner today... big ass locker room, no designated lockers... just me in there, and this old fella walks in while I'm changing, and opens up the locker RIGHT NEXT to mine, then just drops trou. No romancing it or nothin. Whole locker room empty... right next to me... I don't know what it is about me, but apparently I'm a man-magnet. This, of course, prompts me to post one of the funniest comics ever done:
 
AHAHAHAHAH YES!!!

My new gym now has its own spandex man!!!

hehehehe... I miss having that old goofy bastard around when I lift, just as a way of letting my mind off of thinking about my pounding lifting headache just long enough to laugh at the dingleberry in full spandex... I now have another spandex man. YES.

New person of the day: Ms. "I'm a regular woman that is not afraid of the freeweights" - This lady walked in when I was in the relatively cramped dumbbell section of the gym with the only other guy there that is near my size. She picked up her weights, and she started in on working out without even a second glance. I was so damn proud.

Maybe this shows how very little I know.. but do most girls/women not use free weights?
 
I always feel weird in the free weight section, but dangit, I do it anyway!

And, speaking of gym cliches, I have been to 3 gyms and ALL of them have a man who walks around in american flag pants and tanktops. Seriously, you should not be the flag from head to toe, people. And why are there so many men that do this??

no no no no no

I just rarely see women that hit up the freeweights. I've asked friends about this, and they always say they feel weird going there, cause it's a bunch of big hairy sweaty grunting men (basically... me...), so they just stick to the machines near the treadmills. They have no problem using them when I take them there, or if they ask me to put them through a workout, but they just say they feel self conscious using 'em by themselves.

Today, I saw this little thing walk up when two of the most intimidating people in the gym were there, and work out with no hesitation. I was just proud of her, that's all.

I have never seen this, and I can not tell you how sad this makes me that I am missing out... Bring a camera and take pics... You would make my day... not joking...
 
I do use the free weights in the gym, and nothing bothers me more then the guys who don't remove the weights off the bar when they are done and don't wipe down the machines...argh! At least i can usually find someone to help me (sometimes i can't even lift the weights)..but i don't think it is my responsibility to clean after them.

Another type who really annoys me are the girls in my fitness classes who think they are "all that" and spend the entire class fixing their hair in the mirror, checking out their cleavage, and posing to admire themselves. What is the point of coming to the gym if you are not going to work out?
 
Ahh, okay. As I work out in a girl dorm, I see girls doing free weight all the time and I do too, but I get what you are saying now. And girl for the girl that you saw! My opinion is do it for yourself.. not anyone else.
 
ooh, new guy at the gym today...

Mr. "I want to be in sopranos":
This guy had slicked hair, was wearing a beater, with MORE chest hair than I have poking out, holding up at least 4-5 gold chains... I was amazed.
 
you've clearly spent no time in North Jersey :) betcha he's driving a Trans Am or a Camaro :D and douses himself liberally in Drakkar Noir or Paco Rabanne :)
