    You know, I think most people go to the gym to work out not to land a **** buddy.
    A- A chick wont hit on a guy in the gym when she's at her worst.
    B- Men just stare at chicks who do squats or any exercise that includes them bending over.

    Heels are going to totally screw up my squat and dead numbers but okay I'll give it a shot. I like Patron btw. I consider myself pretty nice and laid back already so I don't know what to change to.
    Flats for your squats and heels for your deadlifts - it's the perfect solution.

    Nice guys don't get hit on - you need to exude confidence and badassery.

    I've found that my Old Navy compression shirt highlights my nips. Does that count?
    Only if you're in a cold room.

    get a room you two! Moderators! This thread reaks of sexual tension and buzzard spunk. I have reported it for overt heel usage and wil go away now to try to burn the nipple images from my mind with hardcore drugs. MFP turned me into a junkie!

    Apparently I need to work out with you or next to you at least.

    Now I just feel kinda uncomfortable. Stop looking at me like that!

    Don't be. You're just serving as reference.

    Oh, I see: I'm not good enough for you. FINE! You can just find someone else to let you in on the secret that the ones that really want you will sniff the seat of your stationary bike after you get up! Good luck figuring that out!
    Dang it Swanny - why did you have to tell people my secret?!?!

    No, Cory! I told him I wasn't going to...oh crap.

    Logic has no place in this thread.

    Ahhh...HOW do I hit on a guy....I must really suck at it cuz it aint working!

    I stalk the target. I figure out what his schedule at the gym is. I watch his every move like a lioness watching her prey. I learn his routine, which machine he hits first....where he goes next....how long he spends at each station....then, when the time is right I start shadowing him. Sharing smiles and glances, gradually moving up to "hi" and "how's it going?" And then after weeks of building up to the big day when I finally decide I am going to make small talk he walks in with this little bubbly twit, half his age, half my size and all made up like a freakin Barbie doll....

    Obviously I don't do it right.

    I think I've seen all of 3 women at my new gym. If I were to get hit on it would probably be by some big burly guy that could bench press me (and I'm over 300 pounds).

    Hey, he brought 3 women. I work out in the basement and the only females I see are the chipmunks that sit by the window and laugh at me. I say he's a valued member of this thread.

    My thoughts:
    1. You are so absolutely handsome that the women think you MUST have a girlfriend/wife.
    2. You ARE getting hit on but just don't notice the subtle hints.
    3. You are working out so intensely that women don't want to interrupt.
    4. Women do not dig the velcro sneakers.

    That's all I got....
    Hilarious responses!

    On that note, most women want a guy to hit on them, but not likely at the gym. We usually just want to workout and get home to our wine. :tongue:

    haha. Okay so what do you do to encourage a particular man to hit on you? Or woman. :)

    Make eye contact and smile. Simple really. (Men)

    You must have missed the list of important factors outlined on the original "why don't I get hit on" thread:

    * Tall women are scary
    * Redheads are intimidating
    * Men might be afraid I could beat them up because I am in good shape
    * I might be noticed and not realize it
    * I need to smile more and make eye contact
    * Being shy can come across as unapproachable
    * A lack of confidence shows up
    * Alcohol loosens up inhibitions
    * Wear heels with confidence
    * Wear flats so I'm not so tall
    * Even if I am attractive to look at, a crappy personality might make me unattractive

    wait, redheads are intimidating? really?

    First off, women like the natural aroma of a man, it's the phermones. So don't shower before you go to the gym and do not wear deoderant. Second, absoltuley no manscaping. Women do not want a man preoccupied with his looks. Grow a huge grizzly beard and let your chest and back hair grow out of your collar. Next, women like a man at the gym who grunts and screams with every set. It helps to also always throw your weights down. Also, never wipe your sweat off of the equipment. Women love man sweat, it's like sweet nectar to them. Lastly, between exercises, always put one leg up on a bench like you are stretching, but really you should be giving every lady a shot at the goods.

    HOT.

    I really wish more women would break from the social idea that men should initiate.... I'm sort of a shy guy around women i'm interested in... So it would make my life a lot easier because i think i'm a darn good catch! LoL

    I tried to hit on the other read head here. But since she's 5 10", I have to keep moving the step stool around to talk to her.

    I will initiate, depending on the environment. It is all about confidence! (and how much vodka/soda I have consumed..ha ha jk, kind of)

    I should rephrase this. I've seen a woman at the gym 3 times (though it was 3 different women).

    I don't always do it but now and again what the hey. Can I say that you are very pretty (no, I am not hitting on you..ha) and if you did initiate the guy would probably pinch himself. (That was the cleanest MFP way of putting it). :happy:

    I have always been a big flirt. I always tried to pick up on what the guy was interested in and talk about that. I like to complement the guy on something too as part of my flirting. I always flirted to where there was no question that I was insterested, but I wouldn't ask the guy out. He would have to ask me out.
