Genuine question guys. Like what are they thinking? Are they judging how much we can lift? Our form? Our outfit?

Let me word it for you in how our brain sees it. *ahem* monkey brain likes. She good looks. Want to touch. Normal brain then says no she probably has a boyfriend and why would she want a loser like me. Monkey brain rebuttals butt dat ass! Finally normal brains says oh shoot I'm starring! Then I usually violently turn away to stop looking.

Dragonpurple · Answer

Probably thinking your cute, but be sure they are actually staring at you.

I often find myself day dreaming, and people think I'm staring at them but my mind is imagining if I was living on my own asteroid colony or something far away.

Even been slapped before cause some lady thought I was staring at her but I was on another planet mentally.

I can do this while working out or doing other stuff, helps to just get going in the routine and not think about pain or anything else for awhile... let my mind just go somewhere else.

They are thinking about sex. They aren't admiring anything other than what you would look like naked, which some women don't leave a lot to the imagination. The gym had to be one of the most sexually charged places because you have so many women dressed in skin tight or barely there clothing doing squats or some type of movement that exposes their bodies in different positions.

I can't lie and say that I haven't done it. I remember this one girl in particular that was wearing a very skimpy tank top with a sports bra and her shorts were so tight and were so short that she might have just been wearing a thong. She was doing lunges and every down step would completely expose her whole ass cheek but when she was standing up 50% of her ass cheek was exposed.

Women do also, but are usually more discreet about it, but I believe for the same reasons. While he might be "checking you out", chances are also very good it's just a "blank stare" and doesn't "mean" anything and likely staring at everyone there. He might not even realize he's doing it (like thinking something else completely unrelated to you, but happens to be looking your way). But as to what he's thinking, it could be anything. He might be thinking about what he's going to have for dinner LOL. I know it can make you self conscious when the person is looking at you, but just carry on like it's not happening. It would be like a stranger on the street looking at you, who knows what they're thinking, could be anything and maybe nothing to do with you at all.

rjroy3 · Answer

Majority is just checking you out. Remainder varies guy to guy. For me sometimes I wonder why a girl comes into my space, posts up at a machine right in front of me. Then pretend to be bothered when I look.

Sure I won't stare hard, but I will notice. Not about to avert my gaze when she came into my space. Too many girls do that to guys in general when I've caught many a girl staring at me or other dudes.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

A lot of guys go to the gym just to work out and leave. However you got your guys that come there to work out but to also check out. I'll admit myself that I've taken note of some women in the gym when I'm resting, but I eventually made my move. Some guys are just creeps and some guys just like to check out the women there. It's not often that I catch a woman checking me out at the gym but I have seen dude stop their workout just to watch a a woman squat or do lunges or glute Bridges a lot of times.

JackSmy · Answer

It can be many things, and not all 'sexual'! I LOVE women, and when I am with a Lady, and we are dating, I don't even really look at others, because why?
Between loves, I might look at some others, at the gym, and maybe some are attractive, or wearing something really 'cute' and kind of showing off!
A casual look, though, and maybe say hello, or a momentary chat, with someone, not expecting anything, just being polite.
The gym is probably the WORST place, to 'connect'!! What Lady wants to talk to a guy, that she might like, when she is sweating, and wet, and wanting to shower?
Some pervs, tough, I think, just go to the gyms, just to see attractive women, working out, in tight things, objectifying them, for their own sick pleasure!

COMMODOREII · Answer

Actually i do watch girls when they lift and if i am lifting myself i am staring into space focusing on my form. But since i had training in proper lifting i watch girls and guys to see if they need a sparring partner. You should never lift alone or you might hurt yourself.

Novacane · Answer

Usually, because they are checking you out/ checking out your physique. Many times they accidentally stare. I don't like staring at people but there are times I am in the gym that no matter where I look it feels like I am staring at someone when I'm not unless I just walk around staring at the ground or the ceiling.

JDavid25 · Answer

I go to the gym all the time and most guys I see don't stare or even look much at the women, despite most of them wearing tight booty accentuating leggings or yoga pants or booty shorts. 😂.. But yeah they are most likely staring because they think a woman looks good.. And maybe if the woman is lifting a decent amount on upper body..

DaveToo · Answer

Think about what you are wearing at the gym. Those leotards you gals love so much are exactly the reason why we stare. We love them too, or how you look in them. Or gym shorts. Many's a time I've enjoyed the cameltoe of gals wearing gym shorts, or gym pants, the kind that sticks to every crack and crevice of a woman's body. There's no wondering why we stare, simply the wonder of seeing the woman in all her wonderous glory.

ohshee · Answer

ALYSSA OK lol so send me a picture of what you wear at the gym and I'll tell you exactly why they stare you. yes I will LOL

Crazybeeguy · Answer

I'll say this in the most polite way, they are staring at your @$$. On the other note you're really cute and guys like to hit on woman at the gym. It's a chance to show off their body and strength. Good luck!

HawkPerception · Answer

Girls at the gym are usually hot as hell. They take care of their bodies and that's both respectable and attractive. I wouldn't mind picking up a girl at a gym.

jshm2 · Answer

They don't.

They're hinting that they're wondering when the hell you're going to stop playing around on the machine, and get off, so they can put it to better use.

It's a gym, not a nightclub, deary.

Yager · Answer

Honestly for me, I only look over (not to be rude) but in awe of how much you guys are doing. Men scientifically have more muscle mass, so when I see someone lifting 200+ pounds at the gym I'm in, naturally I'm going to stare.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I guess a lot of women wear leggings in the gym and it makes their ass look good, so some decide to check it out.

SupremeWarlord · Answer

Yes, to all of your questions.

Sometimes there's a male pride when a man is comparing his performance to a woman, and is afraid to look like a pussy if she lifts more than him, so he checks out her workout load.

Or she might be very hot, and stands there appreciating her beauty, I did this a lot while in gym.

Lliam · Answer

Probably appreciating your shapely body and the way it moves when you are exercising.

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

Men stare or try and make eye contact just pretend you dont notice listen to you music and do your workout

kkirk4442 · Answer

The may be doing all of the above. However, most likely, a good part of their thoughts are about how good your body looks.

DJB72 · Answer

I stare at the gym because I can't afford a membership. They won't give me a discount for my missing foot. Like I can't use half the treadmill. Wtf guys! 🤪😜😜🤣

ManHater · Answer

Are they Azn men? If they are Azn might have something to do with Muslim men in the UK considering you English women as "SLAG" and easy meat. Why do you think you have white British little girls lining up to be groomed and raped by them. it's easy these Muslim men are fancied by you stupid white girls.

I could give you the creepy answer or the truth, but for most guys the creepy answer IS the truth.

SamIAm28 · Answer

Tbh you girls look sexy. One time at the gym I think one girl tried to flirt with me. She was blonde, wore a blue tank top and id always talk to her, but fear got in the way and I regret it 8 years later. It was also the first time I started going to the gym

Anonymous · Answer

They find the woman sexy.
She is wearing revealing clothes.
They are minding their own business and have heir head on that direction but are not truly paying attention to the woman. They are thinking about their workout.

I try not to stare because I don't want to make anybody uncomfortable or creep anybody out, but when there's a hot girl with a nice body in tight clothing I can't help having a look.

CentralPerk77 · Answer

Men will likely always and forever stare at pretty women... think of it like a deformity.

RealMarek · Answer

They’re thinking you look hot, so they are staring at you.

Caliguy88 · Answer

I usually stare at the girls that have such tight stuff on you can see through it. It’s amazing sometimes how well you can see a girls privates. Or just a good butt. Treadmill with a good butt in front of you is motivating. Lol.

Wise4myage · Answer

Its the outfits some women wear and I'm guessing guys are thinking naughty thoughts, or else they wouldn't be staring.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

They’re staring at you while thinking sexually at the same time, especially if you’re doing squats, stiff legged deadlifts, lunges.

Havill4nd · Answer

I really hate that I do it. But I don't know I'm doing it until I do it. If a girl is really pretty or quite fit. They're just nice to look at, like a sunset or a flower.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

We aren't judging anything, just admiring the results of your worth ethic or staring off into space.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

I has nothing to do with how much you're lifting, except in the case of what's on your chest.

Ragnaroockk · Answer

neah just looking at the body like arroused animals... sorry but not sure what you can expect more from a gym, sure some really really rare cases may judge how much you lift (probably gay dudes.) sorry again low chances to find a soulmate at a gym
