Girls, Why do I catch so many gals at me at the gym?

[Anonymous]

For context, growing up I’ve never been the guy to walk into a room and catch the attention of gals. 26 now, 10 years into working out, I’d say I have a pretty sought out physique by most men and have gotten much better looking (I really don’t mean to sound like a douche :( so I really do apologize if I just did). When I’m at the gym, stretching, lifting, or doing anything I catch young gals, gals my age, or older woman always looking at me. Again I’m not really used to that attention but more often then not when I glance back they quickly look away. I notice some will stare directly at the floor. So the reason I ask is because there’s a new gal who looks so damn perfect in my eyes and I’ve never cared to be the guy to hook up with as many girls as I can. I hate the hook up culture of today. As cliche as it is, your boy is trying to fall in love. I’ve noticed this gal too stare at me a few times but haven’t gotten a smile out of her yet. Considering I do grab people’s attention, am I overthinking this and it’s just woman just randomly staring around in the gym (as I do at times) or am I being oblivious to something very obvious. Appreciate any feedback from you gals

As a girl I don't really stare at people when I'm at the gym but that's just me. I feel like it makes people insecure to be stared at. Sometimes I do catch myself looking when something catches my attention whether it's just movement, someone being weirdly aggressive, or maybe just someone attractive. I would say that if this girl seems to be interested or looks at you a lot, you should go up to her and tell her you think she's very beautiful and would love to take her out for a coffee or to lunch sometime. Maybe exchange numbers or social media if she's up for it. Don't press too hard though. If she says no be respectful. But definitely give it a shot! I'm sure she would be excited about it.

LMAO. It is a wonder you can fit through a doorway with that big head of yours.

So much cringe in one post. 🤮

Being someone who grew up in a broken family of drugs and trauma I try to avoid being a garbage human being to most because you never know the mental ailments someone deals with. From an honest post to a stupid response like yours, why’d I ever assume those low quality people wouldn’t be on this website….
