How often do you....

[paulett]

So glad you brought this up girl! It happens to me all the time. I purposly dont wear cute, tight revealing clothes to the gym so that I avoid it atleast a little bit but it still happens. I so much admire a women with a good figure it shows she is dedicated and confindent. Why women have to hate is beyond me.

Personally, I wish more women worked out in the weight section. I'm always by myself.

From the comments in this thread, I suspect that MOST women don't give too ****s. Sounds like the OP is overly worried.

It's the women who constantly think that all other women are haters/jealous because they glance over to look at you...

Grow the fuk up...

How often do you find yourself getting mean mugged by other women at the gym while you workout?

For me- every workout and by more than one chick.

Yeah, what is the deal with that!! One time, I sat down next to a lady who switched from the adductor the abductor and I got on the adductor. She blatantly stared at me while I adjusted the weight (to twice more than what she was lifting) and then WATCHED me do a set or 2 with a mean mug before just walking away. Honestly, I'm just bigger than her so I don't know why she would be surprised/upset that I could lift more than she did. Or why she would even care in the first place.

Personally when I see chicks kicking ass in the gym, I may watch them, but in awe! It just inspires me to train harder so I can get on their level lol. But some women just see everything as competition. I hate to admit it, but if it goes on long enough during a session, it brings my focus down and messes my workout up. That's why I love when there are hardly any females in the gym.

[thepandabear18]

Over 25 yrs at an all guys gym, so it's never been an issue.

There are no other women who go there? O.O That must be awesome!

On the books, I think there are 4 women total...but I've never seen any there.

If women in your gym hate you, it's not because of anything you wear. It's because you act like an idiot.

I think when glance at me they just want me for my body!!! They just find me Oh So Sexy and irresistible!!

[MsDesi]

Wat! How can you not care about our next Olympic all-dog bob-sledding team!!??

Oops! That quote accidentally ended up in my response... BUT all-dog bob-sledding??? Where does it take place? Seems a riot!

Personally, I wish more women worked out in the weight section. I'm always by myself.

Agreed... I'm 8 months preggo and now I REALLY wish there were more women there. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty intimidated being pregnant, lifting in "the mens section" especially since my dr adviced I'm not to lift more than 15lbs. Never cared before though. *sigh* <waddles back to the eliptical>.

They do.

It's an epidemic .

Stupidity usually is. Really, I can't comprehend how those posting this can't see how ridiculous they sound.

[kelseyfl]

I've only noticed the looks that seem like they are mentally comparing me between them. To be honest, as long as no one interrupts my workout, I don't really care what other people are doing or thinking. I do agree that probably some of the women at gyms do try to stare others down in a female macho "I'm better than you" look. Forget those women, you're time at the gym is worth more than their egos.

My gym is a very popular fitness oriented gym, where a lot of figure, bodybuilder and bikini pros workout so im very much used to women in the free weight ... which is very inspiring but can understand it being the other way around.
Just keep doing your thing girl!

And....they all seem to be telepathic and/or psychic, interpreting so much from a mere look.

[CoffeCanSlayer]

Lol you guys are all just as bad, it's been nothing but 3 pages of posts berating the OP and others for an attitude........Yet, you can be as bitchy as you want, sound like you're so much better than they are, and no one says a peep. That's more funny than the original POST! Hahahahaha.

I am sort of bitchy right now .

The only way I am better, or shall we say different, is that when and if I believe/perceive someone is looking at me at the gym, my first gut instinct is to smile and go introduce myself.

She said she smiles in the second or third post in the thread. Not trying to be rude here, just putting the shoe on the other foot. That's all.

[Rowyn]

Word, lol. Why is it an assumption that someone looking at you means game on? Maybe they are in space out mode, maybe they are genuinely 'mirin, maybe they have gas....

Not trying to be rude here....

Uh, riiiiigghhtt.

I don't disagree. But on the other hand, I'm not the one starting threads.

[thepowerwithin]

No, I don't think you're being rude.

Not all of this is directed to the original poster. A few more have chimed in with the same concern.


You're right she did say she smiles back.

She also said it happens "every workout by more than one chick." This speaks volumes and is narcissism at its finest.

If you are getting scowled at every single workout by numerous chicks maybe, just maybe, you're the one with the problem.

Shoe on the other foot: If I got a "mean mug" at the gym, I would still go introduce myself and take it from there. If the response is not welcoming, then I know it's not about me. I've done everything I can to be friendly.

Kapish?

[CoffeCanSlayer]

I used to get gawked at all the time when I went to a public gym. Sometimes it was meanmugs and sometimes there was a smile. I genuinely didn't give a f***, because I was throwing around some heavy ass weight. But now that I don't do that anymore, because I simply can't, it does at times make me wonder the following.

Do I smell?
Am I not doing something correctly?
Did I not wipe down my previous machine?
Do I have something on my face?

We are in the gym to make ourselves look better, and like it or not, if you are single, you will be miring someone in there. You can't help it. We aren't machines. There will always be a quest for acceptance, and whether or not it is clouded with a perception of badassery, it still exsists.

I totally agree.

BTW, I am not single, but I still mire .

Maybe its none of the above. Maybe, just maybe, one human with eyes looks at another human as they walk by and its just that. We don't walk around with our eyes shut, after all.

At 47 years old you should already have your life set. You expect nothing, and you shouldn't be getting anything from anyone else. Those of us that still have our lives left to live, look for things to happen. It all starts with eye contact. A meanmug, an interested look, a size up from someone, a scoff.........
