    Well, I've never been in that situation, as I have already explained, but surely it's just a case of being discreet and gentlemanly?  This is where I differentiate the femuscle enthusiast from the schmoe – the schmoe doesn't have the decency, self-discipline or social skills.

    Where as everyone else differentiates the femuscle fan by his belief that he is in any way different from your average "shcmoe".  🙂

    I don't stare at other members. But then again my gym has all kinds of members who can be easygoing to very dedicated.

    So, don't read what he had to say.

    By the same token it doesn't mean you have to deny yourself learning what the ladies of buffedness had/have to say on the subject about overzealous gawkers in the gym.

    Remember, doesn't throw out the uberbabes with the bathwater.  😉

    I don't go to big gyms and all know eachothers in our local gym so that is naturally not a problem there.

    Basic behaviour – some don't even know those. 

    It's a bit different story when somebody is doing some very heavy set when the whole gym is sort of "electriced" and those become center of attention, but everyone should have possibility to train in peace.

    Schmoes. That seems to be continual theme in these conversations. Are their really that common?

    Edit: I think this needs a bit more to it.

    It's very natural that around hot women (or men) your eyes might wonder a bit, but there's a fine line what's adequate or not. I guess here with lurkers they mean people who stare all the time. That's just plain rude.

    And about that they wouldn't mind if the lurker would be a hot man…I don't know. It's a bit different to lurk or to be flirtatious. Weirdo is a weirdo, even a hot weirdo.

    This is bullshit.

    The only reason I GO to the gym is to ogle women, Lord knows that weightlifting thing does fuck all.

    What REALLY aggravates me is all these women complaining about pervs and yet… I have yet to see a hot woman at my gym. It's just fat white men, or, if I'm 'lucky', a skinny yet overweight woman (I don't know how they do that) lifting pink weights.

    It's terrible. In fact, it gets so bad, I have nothing to do except work out.

    Stupid gym.

    Trust Fett to send this discussion into the twilight zone. 😀
