When I go to the gym, I always wear headphones and listen to music, I keep to myself and don't bother others. I am there to workout. Period. This doesn't stop creepy old white dudes from following me around and trying to get my attention. I actually had one guy pull my earbuds out to ask me about my workout attire. Oh, and once they had to close off the tanning beds because they caught a hetero couple having sex on one of them. Gender preference has nothing to do with sexual harassment. Just ask any other woman who regularly goes out in public. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5321394 Yes it does. Gay men tend to exhibit more predatory sexual behaviour. |
Thrace User ID: 54007330 United States 10/25/2014 05:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm a 33 year old gay man and when I go to the gym I put on my headphones, workout and not pay attention to anyone but what I'm doing. In the locker room I keep my eyes to myself like you should do. I can't stand gay men that think everywhere is a place to cruise for sex... that's fucking disgusting. I sure as hell don't want to be in the locker room being stared at by some stranger I don't know. All my guy friends are straight and they don't feel uncomfortable around me because I am not a flaming queen trying to get in their pants. |

I have this one straight guy friend that is a prime example of a womanizer... he thinks every woman he sees wants his dick and he always hits on them in creepy ways.

One time he told me that he's getting more and more customer complaints about sexual harassment. Gay men are increasingly hitting on other men and soliciting for sex. Some even want to have it at the premises in the bathroom or even in plain sight in the locker room. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 39404947 He said that it's been known to happen before, but never to the same extent as in the recent few years. What's up? When I go to the gym I don't want to get my balls or ass ogled at by another guy. I certainly don't want any dude soliciting sex or grabbing my ass. This is madness! Happens to me almost everytime I go to my gym. There are several guys in fact, makes me ill thinking about it, so now I get dressed inside of the showers before stepping out. One of those guys is a well respected attorney at law. He is also a long time member. It makes my skin crawl thinking about it. |

Yes, I get it, you're gay, you're defensive, and intuitively want to shift focus on what straight people do. I know the drill. Gay men, as a whole, do exhibit more predatory sexual or sexually aggressive behaviour. Period. I'm glad you're not one of them but there's always an underlying sexual tension with gay men. When was the last time you saw an ordinary heterosexual parade turn into a public orgie or a heterosexual bathhouse of sauna being forcibly closed due to being a major public health risks? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 59518292 United States 10/25/2014 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guarantee you that the men doing the hitting on other men are married closeted men who are not part of the gay community. Gay men who are out of the closet do not need to pick guys up at the gym in the showers. Same old same old. Closeted queens who have a wife and kids. |

It's pure decadence, carnality, depravity and hedonism, and they're obviously prepared die for that cause. And of course blame the "heteronormative" while doing so. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 44440752 Canada 10/26/2014 07:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gyms/weightlifting/bodybuilding are/is very popular with gay men. So if you live in the city, or any area with a high percentage of homosexuals your gym will likely have lots of homosexuals in it. If you go to a gym that is in the downtown core its likely almost all gay men in the gym, and its probably a gay pickup spot. In this case, as much as I hate people bothering me at the gym [ as people should be there to work out] your practically going to a gay niteclub, so I would not get so out of joint over them hitting on you, just go to another gym if you can find one. |

Hardwired User ID: 63542597 United States 10/26/2014 07:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My fitness instructor has been in the business for 50 years and this is nothing new. He worked in San Francisco and there were lots of instances of gay men (he did not use a PC term for them) annoying customers, and one instance of a rump ranger masturbating in the showers. Why they can't stick to their own is beyond me. That's why so many gays are liberals. Nasty control freaks. |
