it's the only place other than my home that i feel comfortable. if you don't wish to socialise, then make it clear you don't want to and you won't get bothered, or better yet bring an ipod/headphones so people won't disturb you. 95% of people would only speak to you out of politeness wanting to know whether you're using a certain bit of equipment, or if they could 'work in' with you and use the equipment too.
the thing people don't realise about bodybuilders and people that take their lifestyle seriously, is that 'posers' (yeah you get a few in every gym across the world), are people that have worked so hard to achieve their goal, and people respect that. that's why they look in the mirror, i do when i go to the gym, to check my form and also perhaps now and again admire myself. everybody that works out does it for how they look, so why wouldn't they. some people are much more discreet than others.
thirdly, people are much more interested in bringing you into their lifestyle rather than laughing at you and not wanting to help. this applies to 99.9% of people you'd see in the gym, seriously.
