Saw this one woman taking selfies/Instagram vid while on sitting side ways on the seated leg press machine. And she using really light weight...it was like was doing this so that she had the "appearance" of working out.

Like in all social media sometimes we have to 'simulate' reality a bit.

He's right, it makes women much less attractive.

It makes everyone less attractive. Nobody is so important or indispensable that they can't go without their cell phone for an hour or so. Out on a date and one or both people are on they're cell phones....why bother dating? Working out while using a cell phone is not working out. Although it is illegal, people still drive while talking or texting  on their phones. The ultimately most ridiculous act is using a blue-tooth earphone and talking to someone regardless of what else they're doing, like shopping or checking out at the grocery store. They remind me of crazy people who walk around talking to no one. Only difference, they talk louder than the crazy person. I'm guilty of answering calls while driving, although it's hands and sight free because I am using my car's blue-tooth connection and I'm not disturbing others.

This reminds me of a story I used to tell people about the blue tooth headsets. Years ago I used to work in downtown SF.  Everyday some crazy homeless guy would walk up and down the street talking real loud to himself while towing a suitcase behind him.  Today he'd be considered normal, people would think he was just heading to the office.

True, but unlike you I'm not into men  :D

All lame jokes aside, yeah it's fucking disturbing how many turn into zombie-sheep-mode by grabbing their phone once they have nothing to do for a moment. I try to be aware of it by not using a 4g connection on my phone, so once there's no wifi, then I'm simply offline.

Because it doesn't bother you is great for you, but not so great for the rest of us who are bothered by this.

Your posting history actually reveals that you're an easily offended guy.

For me, it has nothing to do with “let them be.” It’s about behaviors that directly impact me at the gym. At home if I am alone, I’m actually overly addicted to my phone myself. But I don’t take it into gym other than sometimes for music. Again yesterday some lady was at the dip bars forever texting or surfing between sets. On the other side of me, a loud guy with a heavy foreign accent was doing some kind of business deal on his phone. Hard to just chill and let everyone be.

A little bit. But not at the level of the gun meltdowns in near by threads.
