    What's the best way haha?

    Just strut up wearing white Oakley's & your finest flat cap & tell them what they're doing wrong. Trust me this is a sure fire approach.. Really.. I'm serious... Bonus points if you do it carrying a gallon jug of water. Now go forth & slay

    More, go forth and be slayed :D

    Ssssshhhh.. never interrupt someone while they're in the middle of a colossal screwup or you'll loose out telling the story to your friends

    People go to the gym to workout, restaurants to eat, work to work, church to pray, stores to shop...none of those to be hit on and picked up. Best keep silent, my boy. Like all good relationships, you'll inevitably just wind up with someone by osmosis.

    It's kinda like men and women don't really like each other much nowadays...


    I can't say that I blame them really. I generally regard both like so:

    sexual harassment is for young girls. There comes a time in every woman's life when she is like "harass me baby! I don't care what you look like...just let me know I still got it!" She might not give you the time of day, but it will still make her day.

    ummm....no

    I don't think "approaching" girls at the gym is going to be well received. I'm happily married and I don't always wear my wedding ring when I work out since I'm afraid that I'm going to leave it somewhere in the locker room after showering. So, not only does a direct approach seem a little stalker like, but you might be approaching someone who isn't available.

    What you might do is just be a really, really nice guy. Put your weights back, wipe down the bench after you are done, if you're going to get a cup of water, just say to anyone in the bench area: I'm getting some water, can I get some for anyone?

    If you find a woman attractive, see if you can be working out at the same time she is. Don't stare at her, but I've gotten to know a few of the regulars at my gym who work out when I do, and we always give one another a friendly nod. Then, just be a good guy, and one day, if she's interested, she'll take you up on that water offer!

    I think a good smile and a bit of flirty eye contact is always good. Maybe trying to time your leaving at the same time so you can strike up conversation?

    The last time I approached a woman at the gym it went a lil' something like this:


    "Wow, those are great looking yoga pants; do you need a spot ? "


    "A spot? ...... we're at the smoothie bar."


    "Oh... yeah........ Sorry? "

    Usually sneaking up and sitting down on the bench they are about to sit on, right under them, is a good introduction

    I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it's not done in creeper fashion

    I'd say you're safe with 5-7 mins tops
