Why do guys always stare at me at the gym?

Anonymous
I just started going to the gym like a few weeks ago, and every time I go to the gym, guys always stare at me. older guys, guys my age, and even younger guys who look like they're in high school stare. one guy even bumped into a group of people because he kept staring.

I don't even look at them. I'm just there to work out.

sometimes I'll be on a machine and they stare so much! I've noticed they don't even stare at the other girls as much as me. and they always try to walk by me a lot and they try to flex their muscles or something. or they start lifting weights and if I'm near by, they keep looking over like if they wanted to see if I'm looking at them.

i don't know why they do this. I look disgusting when I work out. I get all red and really sweaty. and I don't wear slutty clothes. I wear I guess yoga pants, and a zipped up sweater and a tank top under it. I don't wear low cut stuff though. and I just wear a bit of makeup (just mascara) because I go at night after work. and I'm overweight. I don't have a nice body so I don't think they're checking me out.

are they making fun of me or something? or do they think I'm gross? why do they stare so much?
