How do I stop guys from staring at my butt in the gym?

Question

I wear two pairs of black yoga pants and all my work out shirts are long sleeved. I was working out when some creep kept staring at me and I gave him a weird stare and kept going. He rolled his eyes and kept looking! I called him rude and went to workout somewhere else.
What is up with this? It happens almost every time! My body wasn't made for creeps to stare at! The part that makes me uncomfortable is that he'd roll his eyes just to stare again.

It Happens all of the time I am quite sure, @YouOnlyGetOneShot, when some good looking girl or Girls go to the gym. You will get your usual Lookers and Lurkers who may have a few ideas of their own.
The best thing to do, Do what I always Do whenever I see a creep who is a peep. Don't pay him any mind, don't look his way, do not pay him any time of day, with anything you do or Even... Say.
I find this shows him you mean Business and it isn't Monkey business. However, if he is a stalker than you need to be your own talker, not a sweet talker, and turn His Bold Bod into the cops.
Good luck. xx

I know that feeling from only walking on the streets and it freaks me out. As my friends always say, when a guy/creep finds a girl attractive, they won't turn away that easily, because they kinda either admire your looks or are plain pervs.

You cannot do much, unless it's a creep or stalker which you should report immediately.

How about not wearing yoga pants? or wear a shirt that covers your butt? Yoga pants make EVERY girl look like they have the most phattest and awesome ass. It leaves nothing to the imagination.

While I don't agree with men checking you out, there is very little you can do with them looking. I would try not wearing yoga pants. I know it is not right that you have change hoe you dress, but it brings up unwanted attention, so you have to weigh your options here. People will perceive you differently depending on how you dress. If I were to dress as some goth with all black and piercings and crazy hair colors, than I have to accept that that will get me a certain kind of attention.

It is not right, but I don't think this behavior is going anywhere anytime soon.

Imagine this..

You are walking in the park. Suddenly in the corner of your eye you notice something bright, almost like a spot light of colours. You quickly give it a glance and you what you see is the most gorgeous butterfly you have ever seen.

Do you:
1. Think nothing of it, ignore it, and walk away, or
2. Study it for several moments to make sure you don't waste this wonderful opportunity?

Of course your are going to stare at it. Nature made some beautiful creates - why would you NOT look?

Oh shut up and deal with it or to go a Women Only gym.

You're wearing yoga pants while lifting weights instead of on a yoga mat. Wear loose clothing and deal with thae fact that you're around a bunch of men who are taking a quick glance at your arse and let it go.

He's looking at your ass not trying to rub his dick against it, ffs.

I am shocked nobody has suggested this: Tie a sweatshirt around your waist. This will help cover your butt while you work out. I see women with sweatshirts around their waist at my gym all the time.

You wear sweat pants and complain? Stop complaining about what is literally the biggest advantage the female gender has (disproportionate sexual attraction). You say that's desperate? well yeah men are biologically a lot more sexually attracted to women than women are to men (see bateman's principle etc.) You are innately a sex object and will always be valued for sex above anything else you offer or do, embrace it because it makes life easier for you, you wouldn't be much without it.

Say i am sexist if you want, but this is the truth, try prove me wrong.

This used to happen to a good friend of mines. So she asked if i would come with her to the gym every week, so i did for a while and she did not get that many stares as before. For those that stare just pay no attention.

Stop wearing yoga pants to the gym and stuff that isn't skin tight. \

Best to ignore because no matter what you wear. Your body is distracting, or well ever body in the gym is distracting to everyone. People are always going to look since your at a gym. Just some are more creepy about it than others.

creepycreeper · Answer

Anything you put in a public place is free for everyone to stare at. Don't like it? Wear some baggy cargo pants that make your ass less visible. I wear cargo pants to work and work out in, they aren't that restrictive. Or you could wear a long t-shirt to cover up your butt. Hell you know damn well your outfit is the cause of this, why do you expect to change the behavior of every other man on the planet but act like changing your outfit would be too freaking hard? I swear, women like you are why I don't even bother going to the gym anymore.

soberpiper · Answer

I would just ignore them. A lot of women bring head phones to the gym which is generally a clear sign that you are not interested in being spoken to. If its still an issue then I would search online for a gym that is women's only..

Maybe confront some of the guys and tell them they make you uncomfortable with their stares so sad but people will stare when I'm dead and gone no one can stop them unless they start making harassing you.

You should ask him if you're doing a bad posture and if this is why he's staring. Maybe he just wanted to use the equipment you're using and is pissed that you're taking so long?

x_Pretty_x · Answer

Lol, I'm sorry it's kinda funny but weird at the same time. Maybe he just likes you and is showing it, in an awkward way. It happens. Hope this helps :)

That is a total fucking weirdo. Just ignore these people or better yet tell them off. Don't be afraid to slap a motherfucker if he's making you feel uncomfortable.
