Why do guys stare when I look the worst?

Anonymous
I dont understand why guys stare so much at the gym. I dont feel very attractive. I know im pretty hard on myself, I've been told many times. I dont feel hideous but i dont consider myself attractive. My friends tell me im cute. Im really adorable in their eyes and they say i look really young for my age. Im about to be 25 but i barely look 21, according to them.

So I've started working on my weight because im overweight. Im trying to eat healthy and i started going to the gym. I usually go with a friend and i tried to go by myself the other day and i just felt so self conscious. I decided to walk to the gym since its not too far. And i felt so weird because people kept staring on my way there. Some guys even smiled at me and did the eye brow raise. I was confused. And then when i got to the gym, i went to the furthest machine at the corner and then all these guys came and started working out next to me. On my walk home, same thing. People kept staring.

Not sure why this is happening. I wear no makeup to the gym. I put my hair up and i look sweaty and gross. Im still overweight and i dont have a nice body. I dont understand why they keep looking at me. There are way prettier girls at the gym, especially girls in shape. Do people stare at the unattractive?
