    I wander the same thing. I go to the gym to have a good work out. I am dripping with sweat. I think most of us are aware of our surroundings and do care what we look like whether it be at the gym or otherwise. I admire the efforts of others trying to get in shape or maintain there current shape. The way I look at it guys like a girl who isn't afraid to get sweaty and who doesnt always have to look perfect (aka phony).

    Definitely in agreement with most everyone else. I find it attractive when a women goes all out to workout hard. If I was going to approach a girl at the gym, I wouldn't let the sweat be a deterrent. Afterall, we are at the gym.

    L'Oreal, Revlon, and Lady Speed Stick are not hot.

    Dedication and hard work are hot.

    EXTREMELY hot!!!! Whats not hot (at the gym) are the girls that stand around giggling and not working out! They might be hot at a bar, but not the gym!

    IMO

    lol don't know why this matters. you go to the gym to work out and sweat not to look hot for other people

    I don't see any reason why you can't do both.

    I'm married, so I'm not on the look out, but it's nice for there to be a social aspect to getting fit. I'm not saying we should break our work outs just to have a chat, but if we're going to spend so much time working out, why not let it fulfill some of our other needs as well? Being connected to people is also good for our well being and might even help encourage people to train on a night they have low motivation.

    I really risk sounding super *****y here.. and I am SO sorry if I do... but this is a good reason for why I never went to gyms before. I feel like people are going for a social hour, to look cute and check others out. I mean if you meet someone there that's fine, cool good for you... but, I'm a big girl thats going there to sweat her *kitten* off and be beat red in the face... I'm there to torture myself.. not check ppl out.. just my opinion though..

    According to Mr Cheesefries, seeing me sweaty after a workout makes him think of other ways to make me sweaty, so he thinks it's super hot.

    Of course the gym can be social, and a great place to meet people with similar goals/lifestyles. If you meet him at the gym, he should expect some sweat now and then!

    I have to agree with this. If you're making me wait because you and your posse have to chat at the bench I need to use, you're wasting space.

    Thanks for all the input! I did say I do go there and put in an intense, hard workout, regardless of whether or not people of the opposite sex are near by, and I will keep doing so no matter what. I always feel sexy after a good hard workout because I feel tight and toned, but I was just wondering because if I did want to talk to someone at the gym, and the consensus was "gross" then maybe I'd just do so before I start sweating so hard.

    I'm not totally vain, I promise.

    Nah, you're at a gym, you're supposed to be smelly and sweaty! Just talk to him/her!

    Well, I don't know how anyone could find me attractive after going to the gym. Not only do I get sweaty but my face turns bright, bright red. I hate it. And I don't like talking to anyone after because I get uncomfortable because my face is so red. :laugh: Oh well though. The only way to stop that is to stop exercising & I definitely can't do that.

    Honestly if a girl is cute dry she'll only get cuter sweaty. SO I guess I don't have a problem with it at all. As long as you don't mind sweaty guys. I have no problem sweating through 2 shirts and part of my shorts on cardio days. I'm a friggin' mess.


    ^^ that is a good point. If you expect them to think you are cute sweaty, you should be prepared to reciprocate!

    Okay - I'm a guy... so here's my opinion.

    I am impressed by women that are comfortable enough in themselves to go to the gym not to look cute - but to work hard and earn the sweat! People (men and women) that go to the gym to look good while there (except for impressive workouts of course) are not there for the right reasons. So - in short -

    1 - Go to the gym
    2 - Work Hard
    3 - Don't worry - sweat!
    4 - If you meet someone there - great!
    5 - Enjoy what you have accomplished while earning that sweat : )
    6 - Go home knowing you worked out well!



    ^^^LOVE IT!!!

    Honestly, just the fact that you would take the first action and just go up and talk to the guy in the first place is a plus in my book. I mean if you want to talk to someone, why does it have to always be the guy to initiate anymore. If you know what (or who) you want, go get it.

    I HATE those girls that come in the gym wearing barely nothing, and kind of glide around at 1.5 on the treadmill in a full face of makeup & jewelry. Meanwhile, I'm next to them running my butt off at 6.0 for 15 mins about to die and standing in a pool of my own secretion!

    I will admit, there are some HOTTIES at my gym, and I sometimes wonder if I lost more weight would one of them notice me. However, I’m not going to sacrifice my workout and lose out on burning extra calories to slow down and be cute. If he is interested, he will see you thru that puddle of sweat! That’s just my take on it.

    I'm definitely not THAT kind of girl, don't want to give that impression. I do work hard at the gym. Those girls bother me too. Thanks for the comment!

    I'm sure you look better than all the girls who don't work out. I think guys like girls who can stay in shape.

    technically you go to the gym so you CAN look good body-wise for yourself and others besides being healthy and making yourself feel good. =) But honestly, if I'm doing the gym I go first thing in the am with usually wild, yesterday's oily hair and no makeup and the comfiest things I can find, it's embarrassing walking home after. BUT I do go to a woman's gym.

    If you still look good at the end of your workout, you didn't do it right. That's all.

    Going to the gym means just having time for yourself. Who cares what the other 'hot' people at the gym think? You are going in there for YOU !

    Impressions are made outside the gym; hard-work is made inside.

    I literally had to stop and wipe up a puddle during my cardio kickboxing class last night, just so I wouldn't slip and fall in my own sweat. I sweat a LOT when I work out. I also go HARD in the gym. My cute little matching work out clothes are still cute and matching when I'm done---but they're soaking wet and I've got sweat dripping down my face. When I see a super sweaty person, I just think they've worked their butt off!
