Stalker at the gym...freaky

[tadpoleboyy]

Alright, heres the story.

Monday: Im with some buddies, doing chest and shit, and we decided to go use the neck machine for a little. This weird looking dude all of a sudden appears and is jus standing by us, kinda just looking at me and watching me work out. So i was like "hey man, do you need to use this? you can work in." Because i figured he was waiting for the machine. He responds with something that sounded like he was using the machine next to us, but he has some sort of speech impediment or something? It sounds like he may have a little mental prob. So i watch a little, and the dude is not using the shit at all. He is just sstanding around by me and my buddies. Weird

Tues: The dude is there again. Im not really noticing him, but now that i thnk about it, i remember that he seemed to end up on the machine/spot next to me whenever i did an exercise. And when we left, he left too...

Wed: The dude is back. He kind of weakish looking, balding, and appears to have some sort of mental problem i think, but easily passes for normal if you omit his freaky following. So this time i go with a different buddy to the gym. I am doing some deads in the corner, and the spot i am doing them in is between the wall and a leg press machine. Thus, once i start doing them, the little space in front of me becomes blocked off, you cant get in or out. So i notice the dude again, on the leg press right next to me. He loads up 7 45s on each side, and obviously can not do that much. Then he puts some rubber mats in the seat, which was real odd... So right before i start a set, he steps into the little space ahead of me, so that he is trapped once i start. WTF. SO i am doing deads and he is just standing in the little space, cant get out, and is just looking at me. FVCKING CREEPY. Then my buddy whispers something to me, and leaves to get some water. Heres where i start to get mad. There is a rack of olympic weights with the rubber bumpers on them, right next to where i am sitting after my set. He comes up, about an inch from me, all up next to me, and grabs two 5LB weights! OK- he has 7 45's on each side, i dont think two 5lb weights are goin to make a ****ing difference. Furthermore, he grabbed the one right next to me that had rubber bumpers, instead of the normal 5 lb weights that were right next to the machine he was on. WTF is that about?! you dont need the ones with the rubber, but i suspect he got them just to get real close. So i was like, fvuck this, andjust walked away to the ab/back machine thing. Now, keep in mind, there are two ab/back machines, and they are right next to each other.

So my buddy comes back, and was like "dude, thats the guy i was telling you about, he used to follow me and my friend around at (a different gym that is close)." So apparently this guy follows people. Then he goes "i bet you money that guy will come over here and use the machine next to us" Five minutes later, guess what, he is on the machine next to me. WTF

So i dont really know what to do, this dude has been following me around, hes creepy (but small), and is getting really close and shit to me. The other thing is, whenever he ends up on these machine next to me, he does like one rep (not set) and thats it. He doesnt even work out, he just watches and follows me and pretends to work out. If he gets close again, im going to say something, because its freaky. Or maybe i will go to security. But for now i think im going to change up my lifting times so he cant catch me, because i go around the same time everyday and he must know my schedule. What would you all do?

[LawMan018]

Haha that's fvckin creepy as hell man! If I were you I'd just approach him and say, "Hey, I know you've been following me around, my friends know, could you stop now?" Or if you don't want to directly approach him inform management. Or you could stick a tack on the machine next to you!

[No One Knows]

This guy sounds like Jeffery Dahmers little brother

[NightWolf]

ya i seen him to.. His name is DSM

[Hollywood080]

ya i seen him to.. His name is DSM

[Diary of a Mad-man]

ya i seen him to.. His name is DSM

literally LOL-ing at all of this.

The tack thing was a good idea too, its just that if I did it, Ed "too tall" Jones would come sit down on it, and punch me in my honkey throat.

[ottomaddox]

Suck his dick.

[SMCengineer]

What would you all do?

For starters, I'll try not to be so obvious next time.

[jchopper1]

ya i seen him to.. His name is DSM

hahahahhhahhhahhhhhaaaaaaaa.

[jchopper1]

dude maybe hes just watching to learn how to workout or maybe hes a creeper waiting to slip a date rape pill in your water and pound you in the ass. just a wild guess

[dedic8ed1]

You know what fuk that don't change your training time to better suit the feeling your getting from this fuk.Just say hey buddy is there something I can help you with if not your making me uncomfortable so please stop hovering over me"EVERYDAY"And if he responds with an attitude don't bite just go too the management and say can you please tell this gentleman to act accordingly,he's making some of the members uncomfortable.Simple

[SaSqUaDgE]

hahahaha no good man

[zartan]

loled at work

[Kratos]

Those type of people scare me.
One of my friends in college had a roomate like that. He went to go to bed one night and his goldfish was on his pillow (dead obviously). Then another night he was sleeping and the crazy dude punched him in his face in his sleep, and was on top of him trying to punch him again. He woke up quick and hit the dude back, and the crazy dude retreated to his bed and started doing the schizo rock (you know back and forth). He changed rooms after that. He never did anything to the guy either. Can't trust having a crazy around.

My roommate in freshman year of college was worse then that. A very odd dude. I had a girl in bed foolin' around a little while he was 'sleeping' one time and had to stop because he started whacking off.

[ultra40]

Just ask him why he keeps following you.
Its not rude if you put it that way and dont say "What the **** is your problem" or anything.
I think would be interesting just to hear his response

[Amorphic]

go at a different time

[firmechicano831]

This guy at the gym started looking at my partners ass and I told him he wasn't because my partner wanted to tell him shit. So then we go do preacher curls and the guy goes up to him and introduces him self then sits right next to him. My friend gets really mad cause this guy looks like a fu*ken molestor so he tells him. " Dude what the fu*k are you looking at. Number one I don't like guys and number two if you get in front of me again I'm going to ****en knock you out." everyone started to leave the gym and the guy did too. lol

[Kratos]

ever since the trenchcoat mafia, these guys get more respect than they deserve. He needs a good old beating.

[Peducho0113]

Suck his dick.

LOL maybe that is what he wants

[tadpoleboyy]

i dont believe the dude is a violent person, just one of those weird fvucks. But who knows i guess you can never underestimate anyone these days. At first i thought he was just trying to learn by watching, but as soon as he pulled that 5 lb weight shit and got all close multiple times i believe its something a lot different. If i see him doing it today, i will say something, ill try and be polite (As i can in this situation). Maybe hes one of the disillusioned freaks who is trying to show off how strong he is or something? But that still doesnt explain the getting close shit. Also my buddy was telling me that at his old gym, the guy came up and was telling him how it took him "15 years to add 5 lbs to his benchpress" WTF? i think he has a mental prob... why would it take 15 years to move up 5 lbs, and why would you tell someone like your proud about it? maybe it took that long since he only does one rep a day

Maybe i will bring my cell phone and take a picture of him ,and be like, alright buddy i got your picture, keep following me and im guna go to management and let them know and give them the pic. It would work too because everytime you sign in you have to swipe the card and a picture of your face shows up on the monitor

[firmechicano831]

lol. "15 years to add 5lbs to his beachpress" that shit is funny. He must be mentally retarted.

[STEROIDMD]

Maybe he's waiting for you to get up so he can sniff the seat??? Lol!
Seriously though, I would say something like "can I help you with something?" Not too rudly but enough so he gets the point.

[STEROIDMD]

: LMFAO!

[Jfew44]

Drop a dumbell on his foot. Not too heavy just like a 30 pounder. Maybe it'll work...

[Schmidty]

Suck his dick.

4sum reason i dont think thats such a good idea??? Do this instead

[rockinred]

tadpole, don't get too worked up...there are a lot of people with disabilities that seem odd... there was one dude who it appeared was mad dogging me and then he went over and started shadow boxing next to me... I was like , dude had no skills and looked really akward... anyhow, I just kept about my business and ignored him because he didn't look completely right and sure enough...he has mental issues and it had nothing to do with me...

if it is really bugging you and you can't stand it or don't know how to guage it, just kindly ask him if you can help him with something... as soon as he talks to you you will be able to guage what he is really about... if he has a mental illness I would just ignore it and be polite... some dudes just want to fit in real bad so they mimic your actions and stuff...

my daughter I lost was born with physical disabilities not mental like we are talking about above... I have a high tolerance for that kind of stuff and actually feel sorry and compassionate for people that are born with illnesses. A lot of society does not understand them so they act weird toward them and it has nothing to do with what you are processing in your mind about them....

now, if you get to asking and he is normal, but kind of flakey in a bad way..like a stalker,,, then do as others recommend with management or actually I would intimidate them however i see fit with the situation....

[CSAR]

You shouldn't confront him, as it might be THE thing that sets him off. He sounds passive-aggressive, like after you tell him to stop he says "OK" then bashes your skull in with a 10 lb plate --OR-- gives you a wedgie when you're not looking.

All jokes aside, I'd report him to the management and ask them to watch him. Once they observe his strange behavior, they bear the responsibility of handling the situation.

**edit**

[wilson9d]

i dont believe the dude is a violent person, just one of those weird fvucks.

The crazys fvcks are violent. The appropriate thing to do is tell someone gym administration and you mentioned security talk to them about it. I am sure your in your late teens or early twenties other wise this dude would not fvck with you. It doesn’t matter if he has a disability or not because if he does do something and you have to protect yourself you will have a record that you tired to notify the correct people. After that confront him all you like and all you have to say is that he was fvcking with you again.

If I were you I would be sure to look in the back seat before you get in your car form now on, make sure all your doors and windows are locked.

If I was me I fallow him home closely, park behind him get out and stare at him, then just mimic what he does maybe fallow him to his front door. Maybe walk up to him as he walks up to me and if he talks to me just not say anything to him, just give him a blank stare.

Sounds like a fetish known as - Sthenolagnia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sthenolagnia



What to do about this guy? Well, if his leering makes you uncomfortable (it would irk me), then you tell the guy you don't want him leering at you. If he doesn't stop, tell the management what's going on, and they can take things from there.

Most likely the guy doesn't know what stethenolagnia is. You could do him a big favor by printing out the Wikipedia web page on the topic and give it to him when you tell him to leave you alone.

Picture a straight guy with a strong affinity for bit female breasts. Then picture a gym where there's some fine specimans of 42 double-D's working out in skimpy wife-beaters, and the guy starts stalking them. Same difference, really.
There's no need to panic, just ask for civility.

==================================
Sthenolagnia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Sthenolagnia is a fetish defined as 'sexual arousal from demonstration of strength or muscles'. The term was coined by the German psychologist Magnus Hirschfeld in the late 1800s. This fetish is found among both males and females, and there are a significant number of websites who cater to their interests.
A related fetish is cratolagnia, which is sexual arousal from display of strength.

Female muscle growth (FMG) is a fantasy genre involving muscular growth of a woman. Many who enjoy these fantasies are attracted to Female bodybuilding or other muscular women. The fantasy is often indulged by pictures of women bodybuilders whose muscles are enlarged by photo editing techniques. There are also moving formats such as gif files and others in which the woman's muscles appear to expand as she flexes them. This interest frequently centers on the biceps. FMG is related to the growth fantasies giantess and breast expansion fetishism. This fantasy is sometimes about an equalization or reversal of the power relationship between a man and a woman. FMG has a related fetish in male muscle growth (MMG).

History

Stories featuring female muscle growth themes were made available in the 1980s via LH Art, a small publisher based in Hawaii. The Internet in the late 1990s helped spread ideas about this fantasy. Stories began appearing on the Usenet groups alt.amazon-women.admirers and alt.sex.stories around 1995.

Literature

The female subject is often the antagonist rather than the protagonist in FMG fiction and art. The protagonist is usually a male losing control as a woman grows stronger than him.
Other times the female is the protagonist, benefitting from a transformation that gives her increased muscular size and strength. Sometimes a woman will also have increased sexual desire.
The plot device enabling transformation is magical, scientific, Extraterrestrial, or hypnosis. Some FMG fantasy participants will imagine themselves as participating in the transformations, while others prefer to fantasize as spectators.
Marvel Comics She-Hulk is a popular representation of FMG fantasy.

Visual Artists

There are several artists who specialize in FMG fantasy depictions. Transformational artists She Muscle Artist, Eegore, comic artist David C. Matthews, webcomic artist Chris Morrison, photo manipulator Zeromager, the artist nicknamed LOENROR, and photo manipulator Lord Daroth

Interesting article about what they call "freaky fetishes"
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ticle21158.ece

DORAPHILIA
Film stars and socialites are notorious for stepping out in swanky fur coats, and while most of us either coo over how great they look, or grind our teeth for the sake of the animals, Doraphiles come over all peculiar.
Their strange fetish involves getting massively turned on by furs and leather.
STHENOLAGNIA
We've all gasped with disbelief at the mega-bronzed muscle-bound ladies in those weird bodybuilding competitions, but Sthenolagnia is a condition where men find that hugely sexually attractive.
These men like to be wrestled, lifted up and even carried around by their big iron-pumping dreamgirls.
STATUEPHILIA
If you ever see someone looking shifty and rather hot under the collar near Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, chances are they are a Statuephile (i.e. turned on by statues)
But it doesn't end there, Statuephiles are also aroused by simple blow-up dolls, as well as those new ones that look very lifelike and are made of rubber. According to a source.
TRICHOPHILIA
Though it sounds like a kind of pizza, Trichophilia is actually a fetish for hair, or new hairstyles. No doubt scissor-happy Posh is a big pin-up in Trichophilia circles.
Wonder what they made of her new blonde locks.
SALIROMANIA
Saliromaniacs like nothing more than dressing up for a night on the town, then getting all mucky.
The fetish primarily involves getting pleasure from smearing make-up, tousling hair, ripping clothes.

[tadpoleboyy]

alright, so i went a bit earlier today, and i didnt see the dude. I asked my friend who the guy used to follow, and he said the guy doesnt sound like he is mentally impared, just weird. I will let you all know if i have any more encounters. I mean, i try not to jump to conclusions, my first thought was that he was impaired in some way when i first saw him, and i am patient with such people. But if that is the case, i will still need to let him know that this is not acceptable. And i dont think its that safe to have people who suffer from mental issues operating machines with 14 45lb plates on them...

maybe it is this so called "Sthenolagnia" I should find a way to exploit these people and make money, maybe some sort of website with pictures of me working out, haha.

[NATE0406]

Suck his dick.

HAHA this is the funniest dam thread ive seen in a while..

[bigt10]

Weakish looking
Balding

can appear to look normal if the above is ignored...
Yup it all fits the standard criteria!
Sounds like you have a tail off the DEA, watch out man they are on to you....

lol of course its the USA.

but actually man in all honestly the guy is weird watch where his car is and what he drives.

if he keeps comin at the same time as you something is up.

now if you look obviusly huge and are one of the biggest the gym he could be after you.

the key point is when the guy says it took me 15 years to add 5 pounds to his bench. if the guy is for the DEA or some cop or shit he is waiting for you to say " i can give you something that will make you bench more"

so the guy is a creep, go a bit longer, see whats up. and talk to the guy, when you talk to him just corner him and act big and tough and make him see what hes all about. I would walk into the corner corner him and and say "is there anything wrong buddy, do you need help or something?"

[DSM4Life]

Did he look anything like this ?

[Odpierdol_sie!]

Hey is that you DSM?

[D-Unit 39]

I happened to catch a glimpse of this guy watching you workout the other day, actually... I took a picture incase anyone else happens to see him around:
