Probably because machines are easy...there's not really a learning curve and you don't need someone to teach you how to use them. In my experience, a lot of women are intimidated by free weights.

Well they shouldn't wear a low cut top, do bent over rows and then stare daggers at you and leave after you glance at them one time. One time! Literally a glance past her like I had done to everyone else in the room at some point. Happened to me.

Hmmm...so why do they stare when you're not wearing revealing clothing?

because he isnt attractive enough to do so, its only ok when you look like brad pitt to check them out. If an average and below dude hits on a girl its creepy, if a "hot" guy does then its appreciated.

That does not answer my question though lol. You're saying that girls get mad because guys stare at them when they wear revealing clothing, but they stare even when we don't wear revealing clothing. And while I do admit that some girls are stuck up and it's only ok for a guy to stare if they see him as attractive, there are also a lot of us who don't want to be bothered by any one at all and just want to work out. I don't wear revealing clothing but still get stared at...even as a fatty.

What do you expect? Many of the guys in the gym have almost zero contact with the fairer sex. So any and every gal will be stared at because it is the only time they see girls. They'll go home, pout and wonder why not me. Instead of simply smiling and saying hi.

because guys just like to look at things even if they arent thinking about anything at all aside from just looking, same as girls, but they dont admit they do (just like they want sex just as much). When i look at girls im thinking how awful their form is, why they arent using free weights, and why they would wear so much makeup and have their hair down if they are there to actually work out.

if i asked you to sit on my back so i could do donkey calf raises, would you?

It's actually ironic, but it's not the 'unattractive' guys who don't usually talk to women that I have an issue with. They tend to look out their peripheral or glance away quickly when you catch them...I find that kind of cute and feel bad for them in a way. I make sure to smile at those guys because I understand how that is...have had a lot of friends who were that way. I was awkward myself for many years. The type of guys I'm talking about are the ones who strut in front of the mirror, constantly admiring their muscles with their sleeves rolled up, mostly socializing, and blatantly watching every move. I had a guy come up to me once and ask if I was a lesbian because he said he was checking me out the whole time and I didn't look once...but he knew he was attractive so I had to be gay not to return his affections. lol dead serious! Or the guys who follow you to the water fountain, mysteriously seem to end up next to you on every machine you go to, and look all up in your face every time they repeatedly walk past you.
It irks me to no end...

I could understand one time looking, and I do understand zoning out and someone happens to be in your vision...but repeatedly? I know when I'm being stared at. I guess it bothers me because I was raised that it was rude to stare at someone...and I feel really embarrassed if I realize I zone out on someone and they notice I'm looking in their direction for that reason. So I guess I feel it's disrespectful when I catch someone repeatedly looking in my direction, following me around the gym, or trying to get my attention. It makes me really uncomfortable! Then I get pissed off because I feel like that should be common courtesy not to disturb someone like that, especially when working out.
And yes, I would sit on your back . But if I didn't know you...I'd probably laugh and politely decline.

Yea I've adopted the 'pissed the fukk off' look while walking between stations, and it's helped w/ people directly approaching lol...
And I agree, if you look, just don't be obvious.

I'm with you. Might be that I could give a fawk about women right now....and somehow I've had a couple come up to me lately (one last night)...so strange when you dont give a fuk about em, they seem to want to get to know ya.
I still don't give a flyin' F about em tho..got my priorities and I gotta stick to em. first and foremost was that god forsaken herb..2 weeks tomorrow..feel like a new person man..can't explain it.
next goal is to get straight A's next semester...after the worst semester of my life this fall, I'm so determined to kick some major ass. even pulled out my old programming books, logic, math and physics books so I can start working my brain again and become innovative as **** again.

EPIC POEMS will be written about tomorrow's workout, and echos of it's greatness will still be heard a millennium from now. Six days of at least a dozen Christmas-mini-Reeses Peanut Butter Cups per day coupled with a nice, already hypercaloric diet beats the ever-loving hell out of any goofy preworkout. All you mortals should be skeered.
And for the love of f*ck, it's been months since I googled "spanx" and I STILL get these adds. It makes it way too difficult to feel all badass with god**mn Spanx adds at the bottom of my monitor.
