THe situation: Been going to the same big fitness club gym for the last 9 years. Problem: since I have been going here so long there is a wide abundanceof :
1. people who I know from the past several years ago but havent seen in 6months who always fly over to me like bees to honey to shake my hand and offer unsolicited info and grill me up and down. The thing is I don't give a shit about these people- so why the hell do they wanna talk to me so badly??
Solution: Haven't found one yet as these people are the biggest challange!
2. There are always guys(straight) (of all ages) who try to strike up a conversation with me. Usually asking me about an exercise /lift I am performing. Other times they ask me what my shirt says or if wearing a sports short they ask me if I am a fan of said team.
Solution: I now wear ipod headphones and avoid eye contact wth anyone. I also wear all my t-shirts inside-out to avoid and interrogation.
3. Gays who stare at me. 2 regulars who are very nasty. Solution:Purposfully started going to gym at times I know they won't be there.
This problem has escalated to the point now where I am going to flat out start being very rude to people. When I'm stretching out/warming up is when I am most vunerable to being approached as I am sitting prey for situation #1.
I know Croatch hates to be approached by people when he is doing a serious set of leg press. So what advice can you guys offer? Solutions?
Natty wonder? Newmom? Disturbia? MrNobody? Kiwiol? QB? JNN? Parker? Situation #1 has reached a critical mass!

I'm pretty blunt with people like that. Usually I just say "Look, are we buddies or something? What did I miss? Why are you talking to me?" Seems to make them go away.
-
Just wear one of these and ask people if they don't get the message when they still talk to you. Works for me.

just act boring

Stop wearing deodorant too.
vvv Haha that would work too I suppose!

Stop wearing deodorant too.
I was gonna say put on waaaay too much cologne (cheap like BOD or something), and eat viena sausages before you go to the gym

Here's the solution to all your problems
Wear headphones and appear to be lost in your music and stare at the floor

The worst problem is people I know from the past, but dont ever want to talk to. For some reason they are compelled to talk to me. SO honestly they do know me.
I like your style though D , which is why I honored you with my sig

That would work w/ the people I don't know but problem is the people who I know from years past who havent seeen me in a year or 6 months. They hunt me down and get in front of me and try to talk to me. I HATE IT!

I am truly honored
thank you

whats so hard to just say ''hey buddy how you doin ill talk to you after cause im training now alright bro'' and thats it, they will understand the message unless they are fucking retards. I know almost everyone at my gym, only gym in a small town.. people start to understand over time that when im training I wont talk about bullshit and now mostly just say hi, thats it.
-
turn every conversation into a drug selling opportunity, always offer discounts on insulin and synthol, and "friend prices" on nubain
-
I have people on a regular basis coming up to me asking me about what i eat/workout routine etc.... Yesterday was by far a funny one.. A nice guy asked me my routine then proceeded to ask me if i was a professional bodybuilder. Now don't get me wrong, I could probably compete at local shows when eating right, but i just had to laugh. All in all, i just think these people are looking for some magic "secret" or "trick" that seems to be holding them back from making progress in the gym.

I like when they brag about taking a new supplement, recently for me everyone is proud of "nitric combustion"
little do they know it's just the gym owner selling crap products to make easy money off of the idiots.

I get this all the time. Like, oh have you tried the new NO2?? Or what about that new product from BSN?? I want to tell these guys, just freaking eat quality food and quit throwing away your money.

"oh no my bench has went up 50lbs since yesterday, watch this" (fails with 200)

Generally when I have this problem I take my shirt off and masturbate until I cum on my stomach and then I go and do lying hamstring curls.

I always go to the gym at very late hours so I do not have this problem, I think the best thing is to just pretend like you're at the gym alone, make everyone else obsolete and they'll know not to bother you.
-
Immediately grab the face and bite down hard on the nose of the first offender..........this should hopefully discourage others from trying to start up future conversations.
Try it,it has always worked for me in the past ! :)

I usually train in black face or wear a mask like Lady Gaga

Solution = Stack Tren , Halo ,Suspension,Cheque Drops and the icing on the cake 2 grams of nandralone a week for some nasty PMS like sides...trust me within days people will stare well clear of you everywhere :D

headphone trick usually does it. A gym's a public place it happens. My pet peeve are the folks don't get the rule of distance in urinals or public seating. If there are 10 spaces free don't go to the one on my left.

I bet you are the "stare at the wall, and 'ahh that was a good piss'" type, and the "are you lookin' at me, while I pee ?", and the "first one out, but look at the floor" type ;D
Man, I hear you about public seating, but next time, think about it like this, does that "hot" chick want 'you' sitting next to her? Women have it even worse than guys, because they are constantly being pick up...If you could hear how women complain about this guy, and that guy, and the "guy with big arms and no game" who tried to get on the treadmill next to her and talk to her....yeah, those headphones do the trick real well ;D

Talk to people in a simialr manner to my posts here at get big. People will then avoid you .
The eye pod or MP3 with ear bugs in works quite well. I seriously know what you mean and ended up going to a gym across town so I didn't socialize much. I knew too many other middle aged gas bags who were bigger blowhards than me at my old gym.

The typical guy thinks EVERY hot babe wants him ...and every gay guy as well.
I am not gay, but unlike a lot of males, I have a decent sense of reality.
This one charmer named Earl at my old gym was always trying to hit on the hottest girls in the gym.
He wasn't too successful and always seemed to get shot down .
We started cracking on him for his crash and burn one time and he got pissed and said;
"Yeah that is because that cold bitch don't like having sex. "
I started laughing looked back at him and said ; " No Earl, she likes sex, just NOT with YOU"

Ear phones and tunnel vision will fix that. Otherwise just tell them all to fuck off.

work out with a boner. then when they try to approach you, point your dick at them and make laser sounds.

I've been doing this for years and can attest to its effectiveness as a conversational deterrent.

beer.........preferably lots of it. Though we will make fun of your accent.

I guess you never worked out in a prison gym. Next time someone talks to you or asks you if a machine is open, simply punch them square in the face then kick them on the way down. No one will ever fuck with you again.

I've tried that but unfortunately when you give someone an inch, they take amile. In fact one fellow who I have knows for 10 years is mentally challenged. He stocks produce at a grocery and even if I ignore him or even tell him I'm busy it doesn't faze him. To give you an example:
When I enter the mega fitness club and he spots me from across the gym, he will hollar out my name! I always ignore him and keep walking so he scurries over to me and bombards me with sports questions. If I am in the middle of a set he will walk over ans start asking me questions -IN THE MIDDLE OF A SET!- I ignore him and keep lifting and he just stands there and asks more questions. Its seriousy bad.

Just tell him to fuck off. Seriously, nothing against some communication in the gym, but when people get annoying, just tell them to fuck themselves.

I like the idea of going to a diff gym. Thats really the only way to cut down. Problem then becomes other people I might bump into from my past. Once you live in a city for 10 years you see people you know from your past almost everywhere you go. I hate that. >:(

LOL you're missin the point. I DON"T like these people! My training sessions aren't anything special anyway, I just don;t like other people!
Why do you think I hang out on GB? ;D
-

I live in one of the top 10 biggest cities in the USA :-\
THe best solution is to simply move far, I mean very far away to an even bigger city. Thats why I want to move to LA. Won't have to see anyone I know!

Classic Getbig misanthrope! Man after my own heart.
I train at home. A basic rack/bench/bb/adjustable db setup won't cost you much. It's more a question of finding the room for it, but if you can do it you'll never miss the drive, crowds, clowns, germs, gym music, fees & contracts, rules, not ripping a 747 db level fart between sets, not wearing your holiest underwear & nothing else for squats & deads, etc.
I've got a rack, bb, adj dbs, fixed dbs, mid-budget multi, rower, cycle, and inversion table. Haha, I should look a lot better than I do.

I have had to say ; " Look , I can't talk now as I am short of time and gotta get my workout in.THanks!"
That should do the trick along with keeping your earbugs in listening to music.
Good luck
