I need some advice from a guy!

	2007/03/24, 11:32 PM Since all the 'Ladies Only' section of gyms have opened I feel abandoned and am usually the only female in the co-ed section. I can't really use the ladies stuff because the machines are generally smaller and I'm 5'10 so I need the man-sized machines lol. The problem that I am having is the blatant stares from men. Yes I have breasts, big deal but REALLY guys!! Anything that I could say to these guys that are overly obvious that would embarrass the hell out of them? Have any of you ever been caught? The worst is that I am almost always working out with my husband, but it doesn't really make a difference to them.
	2007/03/25, 01:51 AM my best advice is to just wear a sweatshirt or a loose tshirt....problem solved.... machines suck...start using freeweights barbells/DBS(not smith machine either)...... some guys are asswipes...they got no respect for themselves or others.....cant really help with that...no point in going out of your way and trying to embarass each and every one of these douchbags....just go through your workouts....

Tanktops and shorts with hottie are fine, but if guys check you out don't get pissy. So guys are meat heads but alot of it is brung on by women and what they wear... Cover up a lil more, under armor makes some nice shirts for girls that cover and keep you cool. Nike has some too. -------------- It's called a SQUAT rack for a reason.....

It says what you want to without you having to actually talk to anyone... http://animal-gear.com/shop/index.php/cPath/22?osCsid=3b8ee27f8106b1cb973923fc09345891 -------------- Gravity hates you.

Oh okay, so THAT's why! We don't have a women's only section...only one weight room so I guess the guys are pretty used to having women around in varying degrees of coverage. I find the guys are friendly, polite and more interested in getting their workout done then paying undue heed to the women around them.

Are you going there for a fashion show or to work out? If it is the fashion show that is most likely why you get looks. Personally when I am feeling sexy, I wear tighter fitting, cute, coordinated clothing and let them look all they want, that is what I am wearing it for "recognition". If I don't want to be bothered, I am in sweats and t-shirt. -------------- Bettia "Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open." - Lord Thomas Dewar

After I started, I didn't notice anything :) Even now, I'll put on a CD at the house while I am lifting and then realize I didn't even hear a certain song!
stevehwms Posts: 169 Joined: 2003/02/17	2007/05/05, 02:03 PM Know what you mean. I have 23 songs that I need to listen to today. I was doing it while working out and didn't hear 3 of them even though they were on right next to me. -------------- Dont tempt me; Im where I wanna be Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea. -Cravin Melon
	2007/05/25, 07:26 AM Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback. It did make me feel uncomfortable at first but now that my hubby and I are regulars at the gym its getting better. I catch myself doing it too sometimes - there are some beautiful women at my gym!! and bigandrew - my pics are one thing but i certainly don't wear jean shorts and heels to the gym. Maybe i will update the pics or something. Anyway, i find it often way too hot to put a tshirt on over my workout gear. So I'm just going with the flow, and concentrating more on completing my workout properly and reaching my personal goals. all the best to you all :)
