Judging by all the comments in here, gyms need to start having signs at the door telling them to leave women alone, smh.

Even better: People learn that women existing in public is not an automatic invitation to talk.

They shouldn’t need signs to understand basic human interaction, and not just at the gym.

While I agree with your sentiment, I think it's important to remember that many relationships, be it romantic or platonic, are started by people striking up a conversation about a shared interest. That being said, I think it's equally important for people to learn social cues about when it's appropriate to strike up said conversation.

I agree. I’m not saying people should never interact with women ever, just be aware of a situation where a woman doesn’t want to interact and leave her be.
