[quote=Anonymous]I've been into lifting weights since it was included as part of my soccer training in high school. Anecdotally, there are more women lifting weights than ever before. I do a number of weight lifting/muscle conditioning classes between my work and home gyms and while working out with my personal trainer. The classes are predominantly women, and the number of women who just come to the gym to lift weights is always growing!

I have always found guys at gyms to either pay me no attention or, if I initiate conversation, to be overtly supportive and encouraging of women lifting weights. In college where there were multiple gyms on campus and I'd use the one most commonly used by the athletes because the lighter weights were always available. I worked out with the football team and they were really kind to me. (And no, no one was hitting on me, they were just friendly.) Not to quote Legally Blonde here, but I think people who exercise regularly are just happier and nicer people, at least when they're exercising. [/quote]
