[@seanryan3020]

That literally happened to me once. I was at the store, and this girl with purple dreadlocks and a face full of piercings was walking toward me. I turned my head *away,* and when we passed each other, she said, "It's not polite to stare." Let me make that clear: I literally tried to *avoid* looking at her, and she accused me of staring at her. 🤦‍♂️

okay pov you're the guy at the gym: you just got done with your set and take a little break. maybe you just let your gaze casually wander around the room. maybe you see the girl and think she's cute and throw a few glances at her. the girl is recording with her phone and you're most likely in the frame. maybe that makes you uncomfortable or you're just curious as to what's going on, so you keep looking in her direction. she then starts to talk to herself, keeps staring at you in the mirror and looks back at her camera to make funny faces. at this point i would assume she's either talking about me/ making fun of me or WANTS me to come over and talk to her. i'm an ace girl and socially awkward, but if someone kept looking at me for several minutes and did the little smirky thing she did, i would take that as either flirting or mocking lol. i understand why she would overreact. if you're used to getting hit on or harassed by men, you can kinda get oversensitive and lash out at someone who didn't mean any harm, but girlie in the video had a whole lot of time thinking about whether or not to upload this clownery and still chose to embarrass herself. the guy did nothing wrong and didn't deserve to be publicly scrutinized.

@Not That Vegan Teacher in my experience... generally speaking, no. They wouldn't. And don't. I definitely don't bother if it looks like anyone who has known nothing but smart phones and TikTok. It just isn't worth the constant, "wait... did I do something? I try to be polite... but maybe I came off weird? Or did I say this instead of that?" It really isn't worth it. Generally, any relationships I've formed in the last decade have been because I was approached. And even if not valid, I'm not trying to set off someone else. Warranted or not.

In one of my college classes, one with mostly woman and a female teacher, we watched a Hannah Gadsby performance that implied it was correct, expected, and okay for most women to feel scared when they (a woman) rides an elevator occupied by men and no other woman. Like, no, that's sexist toward men, including those who have yet learned they are transmen (which included at least one classmate) and makes it easier for other woman to trick one another---unhelpful and promotes disharmony to assume sharing the same sex/gender makes people allies, and that the "others" are unlikely to be your ally.

[@draunt7]

Another thing that's important is that a lot of weightlifters actively keep others in their peripheral vision in case of an emergency. Since gyms don't ever have enough cages, you end up using Smith machines or other stupid freeweights without safety equipment, therefore lifters keep an eye out for each other's failure point to ensure they don't get crushed during squats or bench presses.

[@noname-zp1yh]

Yes, because someone around you in person is more capable of being a threat. When you're on camera you choose when people see you, how they see you, and you can leave anytime. You can even control who gets to see you at all. In person (unless you never leave the house) you can't. There is no block button in real life. It's why any teenager could comfortably make a youtube video doing a a song cover and get 300 views but wouldn't be comfortable doing it live on stage in front of the same amount of people. You need to step back and realize you're essentially justifying harassment. The end point you've made is that it's okay to just stare at someone and make them insanely uncomfortable as long as they have any social media. It doesn't matter if that's actually what happened in this situation because that the argument you've made regardless.

As an autistic person, this trend would petrify me if I didn’t have a home gym already.

Out running I’ll wave or sometimes letting someone pass by a narrow part for safety I’ll tell them “You are rocking it” and offer a fist bump.

[@brandonw2471]

@Tiana Bills Yeah, it's true that a lot of times, people will be nice to others with no motivation other than to be nice. What I was talking about in the first comment is easily spotted if you see a man using any excuse to get women's attention under the pretense of "helping" them, but they never act that way towards other men, or women who are not conventionally attractive. That's the sign to look for: are they being just as "nice" to people they aren't sexually interested in? And this is kind of a tangent, but I don't think that assuming someone wants to fuck is assuming the worst.

I used to have so much trouble even looking at someone I was interested in, in public. It didn't get me anywhere and I spent years being alone and sad.

I started hiking on a very popular trail here in Hollywood several times a week, and every time I saw a pretty girl walking the other way I would meet her eyes and give her a big, genuine smile. And I'd continue on my way without bothering them. I started noticing I'd often get a big smile back. You gotta retrain your brain to accept positivity. Baby steps.

I can almost assure you that I would look in someone's direction a few times if I heard them whispering stuff to themself at the gym while filming. We also dont know the time between all of the stares, or the duration, so obviously I hope nothing sinister was actually going on here. Of course you shouldnt be a creep and just glare at people at the gym, but this just seems so perfectly constructed as bait... idk could be wrong here tho edit: also just wanted to point out that the person seems to back off helping the woman with the weight when they ask so now im really not sure about this, but to be honest I hope its bait and that nothing bad actually happened
