9 types of men that woman must endure in the gym

1. the ignoramus

He pays just as much attention to the body language of other people as he does to his leg training. Both are consistently ignored. It doesn't matter if a woman is in the gym with her partner and is only working out alone with headphones in her ears because her boyfriend is working out on the free weights area. This guy still arrives unsolicited, hoping to talk her into some - often incorrect - training advice or somehow hook up with her. He doesn't realize that she can smell his desperation even more intensely than the aftermath of his bath in his perfume or deodorant spray.  

2. the "personal trainer"

This is basically the same guy. He invested a whole seven hours and spent maybe 30 euros to get his personal trainer certification online. Of course, he always walks around the studio wearing an official T-shirt with his name tag emblazoned on it. Don't tell him that he can help a woman with an exercise without unnecessarily touching her. He won't understand.  

3. the stalker

Subtlety is not exactly his strong point. He clings to a pretty woman like a limpet and sacrifices any chance of a decent workout so that he can always use the machine or rack near her. This goes on until she finishes her workout. He doesn't stop before then. Someone doesn't notice the impacts anymore.

4. the self-promoter

Instead of approaching the woman directly and "flirting" with her, he makes a big show of his exercises to impress her. Approaching her on the gym floor is almost never successful, but this grunting and constant throwing of weights is just ridiculous.

5. the competitor

The competitor is a mixture of the stalker and the self-promoter. He thinks he can show off his masculinity and sexual attractiveness by training harder than you with your 55 kg body weight. Why he doesn't realize that heavy weights don't impress women much remains his secret. Above all, he won't even realize how unattractive it looks to women if he performs the exercises poorly as usual and does maybe six half-hearted repetitions per set. Will he ever understand that real male attractiveness goes hand in hand with composure and the quality of his own actions?

6. the guy who doesn't understand how mirrors work

You're dealing with a real genius here. He has found a way to check you out without having to stare directly at you. Unfortunately, he overlooks the fact that the mirrors in the studio work just as well in the other direction and you have to watch him drool in places.

7 The Casanova

No time is wasted with this special kind of man. He masters the trick of asking about your exercise and your phone number at the same time. This has never worked in gyms, but he never tires of trying anyway.

8. the gawker

Staring is his sex. He doesn't get any more female contact, which is why he'll keep staring at you. You'll have to go to the other side of the gym to escape his gaze. He embodies almost everything that can go wrong in the gym. Guys like that probably won't let you within 100 meters of a playground. Beware of this kind of man.

9. the women's course participant

This guy has absolutely no interest in improving his physical situation. When he comes to the gym, you'll usually find him in the back row of a yoga or Pilates class. The reasons for his behavior are almost as transparent as the leggings of some ladies this guy looks at all the time.
