i hear you there, (other side) im a girl and like all the guys at our gym are "there to work out" not try and perve at the girls.. they are too busy looking at their own arms in the mirrors.. lol

Ive never had an issue. However it does take them a few months of seeing me around before they nod and say hi... no doubt ... as you say... they are either TOO BUSY or worried about a girl accusing them of something.

you SHOULD be able to nod and say hi to everyone there if you want to..

I was saying above i find the girls more annoying at the gym than the guys.
