People looking at you during a workout doesn't make them a creeper, amirite?

There's a difference between glancing at someone and staring at them. If your eyes pass over someone or go to look at movement, completely normal. Staring someone down for a long time? That's not socially appropriate in pretty much any setting. No judgement to those who glance. Judgement to those who stare though.

theres a difference between looking and staring. Even if youre checking me out at the gym, thats fine as long as you dont do it in a creepy way that makes me uncomfortable. I find myself looking at people at the gym too. Sometimes I wanna know how to use a machine without asking or looking like an idiot lol.

I was literally doing this today! Someone explain to me how to start the stationary bicycles at planet fitness! Also sometimes I'm checking out an outfit, or form, or reading someone's funny tshirt, or rooting for someone going really hard! I always wonder if people do the same for me at the gym

I usually look at people that are pissing me off in the gym. Camping on stuff while they text. I'm fantasizing about ripping their phone in half.

Came here to say this. You can text on your couch at home. Bust out that set or move on

I feel your pain. I superset to reduce time. I want to get in and get out. Travel time plus a fast WO is two hours , I'd prefer it was not three. It should not tie up a bench ( out of 5) for 35 min so one person can do 5 sets. I grew up in the generation that had to share, so we did. You ask to get a set in between mine? YES? Absolutely! To be fair to the women there are always male assholes that think a casual social contact is an invitation to a date. I have an adult daughter I get it, maybe it's why I get white knighted on the odd occasion.

It really depends on the manner in which you are looking, I believe. Sometimes, I look at someone if he/she is doing an exercise that I find difficult, to understand if I am doing something wrong. It's a habit I gained while Swing dancing, I guess.

I'm a dude and I've had people stare at me when I'm doing jump squats or running at a high pace on the tremulous sometimes. It happens to everyone

Not unpopular. Maybe to self absorbed TikTok gym hoes. But that's about it.

If there's an attractive woman walking around I'm going to look at them, doesn't matter if it's at the gym or not. I won't stair but I will certainly look, we are all human and that's how attraction works.

As a woman, I can confirm that like 99% of guys are doing that. I'm guessing you're one of them.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I highly doubt that you can confirm that. Sure, there are creeps out there but 99% of men? Sounds like you just enjoy playing the victim.

Sounds like a policy where you'll never believe you're proven wrong but any instance of it happening will prove you right

Ah yes, just because someone stares doesn't mean they begin to walk up to you, hiss and then explode

Listen, you're gonna look if your schmeckle is working, so how do you make it look less creepy? First off, don't look too long. Quick glance gets the job done for the spank bank. Second, if you get caught looking, don't hide jt. Looking away guilty-like makes it seem like you are doing something wrong, and the mom in them want to slap your hand. So own it. Look them dead in the eye and smile. Verbal confirmation that you were looking and are proud of it helps—"them squats be working for you girl!" "Damn girl you are looking like a snack." "Mmmmm-mmmmm-MMMMMMM! Fine fine FIIIIIIIINNNNE!"

If I am looking at you at the gym it's likely me learning a move/position that I see is really working for you and would like to utilize in my routine. or I like your workout outfit and I will tell you "hey I like your leggings".

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It's not that hard, just tell yourself your not going to look at anyone.

Is "creepy" GenZ's favorite word?

Ehhh... As a fat person, I can usually tell when people are looking at me in the gym like "oh look, a fellow human being" vs "wow, what's that whale doing here?" (I don't get the latter very often, but when I do... I feel it.)

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yea. A lot of people in the gym simply freeze looking in the abyss, listening to something via their headphones, waiting for the next set.

Didn't your parents teach you it's rude to stare?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It sounds like you are going to the gym just to stare at peoole. If you are focusing on your own workout you wouldn't be staring at others.
