Ate you calling the op a Karen? It sounds like she was minding her own business until this dude decided to explain something that she already knew!

He may or may not have been biased in his call-outs, you can't know. It's better to go through life giving the benefit of the doubt to people than being mad all the time.

This is absolutely NOT how gyms operate.

DP: So gyms are NOT concerned about minimizing liability?

Yes, gyms want to minimize liability. Having an under-trained employee tell people to change their workout routines is much more likely to increase claims of liability.

Wait. How do you know this employee is "under-trained"? Now you're making some big assumptions so slant the discussion in your direction.

Because his comments were dumb. Most of the posts on this thread really show that many of your don't take the "exercise" part too seriously.

You sound angry and insecure. Your comment makes no sense.

I'm a dude and when some other dude condescendingly tells me something I already know, I say "thanks" and move on with my day rather than crying to anonymous internet strangers about it.

Because she's over the top. The conduct isn't "gross". At most, it was mildly annoying. End of story.

Most of the comments on this thread show that people don't lift weights at the gym. This is a subforum dedicated to diet and exercise; it's questionable whether the posters giving advice actually do that.

How are you able to make this assessment based on the comment that OP or PP is angry and insecure? The two are not related, at all. They're just not. Again, insecurity is showing.

How am I able to make the assessment that most people commenting don't lift heavy weights? Because they think it is ok to interrupt someone who is lifting with their heavy weights under control. If you actually lift anything reasonably heavy, you would understand that part of the issue,

Actually I DO lift heavy, 3 times a week. I've never experienced this, and I've been lifting for the better part of 25 years. OP (you) are extremely insecure. Just stop it already, you've complained enough.

I think OP is defending herself on this thread a lot. Many comments on page three are one after the next to defend op.

I'm not OP. I don't understand this "insecure" comment. I am confident that i know how to weightlift correctly and would not take the unsolicited "help."

He probably thought you looked too old to be in there with heavy weights. Just move on already

[Anonymous]

I'm shocked by how many people think this is ok and are outright ignoring OPs intution that this person was giving too much attnetion to females to include her underage daughter....

It might have been harmless, it might not have been. Either way, in this day and age, its not appropriate.

So tell me, how do you react when he starts chatting up your underage daughter? Still ok with an older man coming up to your daughter in a gym as she is working out to pull/direct her to a different machine?

What do you mean “underage”? Under the age to be at the gym?

16 is not too young to have a brief conversation with an adult.

There is no harassment here give it a rest.
