Cyndaquil's How to Go to the Gym Without Being a Creep

[Belize King]

Rep.

Many (noticeably I didn’t say most or all) women with rings do not want to be approached. Respect the ring.

Now if she opens small talk with you…

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

My eyes will go wherever they please. This is not slavery, I do not have to avert my eyes for any class of people.

Its a public space. People look at others, if you assume it's predatorial, the problem is with you.

1. The 3-Second Rule​

The 3-second rule is simple: if you're looking at someone or something for longer than 3 seconds, you're staring. The gym is filled with attractive, in-shape people, and it's natural to notice them. A quick glance is fine—if anything, it can be flattering if the other person finds you attractive. But staring? That’s different.

Unwanted stares can make women feel uncomfortable, intimidated, or even degraded while they’re just trying to work out. Even if she finds you attractive, excessive staring can make you seem thirsty and unconfident, which is an instant turn-off. So, if your gaze lasts longer than 3 seconds—cut it out.

2. Avoid Excessive Glancing​

While staring is the most common mistake, excessive glancing isn’t much better. Constant 2-second glances add up, and she will notice. She might start wondering:

• "Why does this guy keep looking at me? I’m just trying to work out."
• "Am I doing this exercise wrong? Is there something on my clothes?"
• "Ugh, this creep keeps looking at me. Can’t he tell I’m not interested?"

You don’t want to be the reason someone feels uncomfortable at the gym. A casual glance? Fine. Repeatedly checking her out? Not fine.

​

If I see a queen in booty cuff shorts I’m staring a good 5 seconds before each set as long she doesn’t notice. It gives me a quick testosterone boost.

This should be common sense.

I am more worried about people who take up multiple machines/benches/areas, and who don't wipe down equipment and return it. Literally just had to get on this weak ass white dude for that yesterday. Just bouncing from thing to thing not wiping shyt down, with bad form

Facts

Even before i start using the equipment I wipe it down first, because a lot of people just don’t give a fukk

You should add not approaching women to "help them with their form."

This is the main thing I see men do when they're trying to be slick about getting at someone. Sometimes the woman will be in better shape then the man, she clearly is an experienced lifter, or there's nothing wrong with her form. Dudes just try to use that as an ice breaker.

Meanwhile in the vicinity there will be a few men, fat women, or old ladies who are new to the gym with terrible form and possibly at risk for injury that they offered no help to.

I never see these unpaid personal trainer ass dudes not approach a baddie

One thing I've come to realize is that if you're lifting real weight, you ain't think about non of that bullshyt.

Headphones in, zoned in is my motto.

Exactly. You working up to heavy triples/singles etc in squats, dead’s, bench etc. You can’t even afford to lose focus being horny as hell.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

I agree with the multiple areas thing, but it's definitely step outside and talk about it area if a mf catch me finishing up lifting heavy tryna play wipe down police

Yeah but if you lifting like that you probably already know better
