    I like to* walk up to the baddest *kitten* women in the gym and say "Hey - nice work. Do you have any tips?"


    *I work out at home alone, so this has never actually happened.

    How to meet women:

    Hi, my name is <insert name here>.

    The ease and simplicity of this is overwhelming.

    I would add "Would you like to cup of coffee sometime?"

    Of just stalk them and sneak into their bathrooms and steal their toothbrushes so you can clone them and have your own collection. Whetevs.

    Love this. :heart: :flowerforyou: :love:

    This is actually so down with reality. I know I'm taking a turn to very serious talk here, but this article is worth reading:

    true story

    Dawwwww


    What's wrong if a man wanted to find someone at the gym to date anyway? Where is ok and not ok to meet someone you like? God forbid he may be interested in dating someone who works out.

    People find the strangest things to be offended about


    *i know it was a joking around thread...but i still don't see the problem even if he did want to pick up women at the gym

    I see nothing wrong with meeting the love of your life while doing what you love to do with your life. You a bookworm? too bad. no picking up chicks at the LIBARY!

    WHAT? Bookworms are sexy. Libary is a great place to meet chicks. It is hard though, because no matter how classy your line it will come off creepy in a whisper.......
  • I never talk to the people at the gym... if they say hi I will respond back with a nice hi but that's as far as it goes....
    not only in the gym... everywhere I go

    Learn my name then shout it as you lift.

    Grunt really loudly as you lift weights. This will catch their attention, and when they see how much you're lifting, they'll be frothy at the lady place...
    This. Also throw in some yelling. Things like "Oh God, baby. That's nice and heavy!" or "Daddy's gonna lift now!" or "Oh yeah! That's good $h1t!".

    That will show her how manly you are.

    Rule of thumb... woman arent at the gym to be hit on, and if they are, their husband probably just isnt paying enough attention to them at home... so dont ever ever ever ever ever ever ever try to hit on a girl at the gym, because 99.9% of the time you will be a creeper, or her boyfriend is over there lifting 100 lb plates with his neck and will break you in half for being a creeper... Just go get your work out on, and dont stare or give them creepy weird smiles in zumba class either. Just a thought, gym is for working out, to quote eric church ... not "crrrrrrreeeeeeepiiinnnn"

    This.

    ftw.

    Added benefit: anytime you do this, the girl in question will come running over to you.

    Dear Burt,

    How's that for mean?

    As I've mentioned, I prefer optimistic thinking. I just can't understand why MFP would asterisk-out "Clothes".

    Women aren't looking for a date when they hit the gym. They are there to WORKOUT.

    Have fun trying though.

    You are all going about this all wrong with "trying" to impress her. They have all seen these tricks before.

    My suggestion is reverse psychology. Walk around where she is lifting, try to do in during or just after a set so she is breathing REALLY heavy. As you walk around, crop dust the whole area. The louder the better.

    As you walk away, without looking say "There's more where that came from........"

    Melt like butter. 60% of the time, it works everytime.

    Make sure not to use deodorant, and work up a HUGE sweat. The aroma of your man musk will have THEM asking YOU out!

    Yeah, asking you to get the hell outa their face and the gym all together if possible...LOL

    Got it. If I see you doing bench, I should do bench next to you and then you will move over to my bench and we will do it together. How do I log that?

    synchronized benching :heart:

    Oop! Our bars touched! Buy me a diet coke!

    With love,
    Burt

    :heart: reminds me youre REALLY close by.

    You go be "optimistic"...even though that is patently euphamistic for "delusional."

    Also, I'm shocked no one jumped on my story about that guy buying me a shower. come on! you know it make you go like this:

    [/quote]




    I like that story! If you want to pick me up at the gym buy me a shower. I thought it was way sweet.

    ETA: I'm sorry. I still don't know how to work quotes apparently.

    To be honest, I DO NOT want guys hitting on me while I am working out. I am there to get my sweat on, that is the bottom line. Leave me alone and let me do that.

    ...unless I find you smoking hot.

    You dealifting them, or press? I image it is hard to find a balance point.

    I will just stick with the weights.

    I get totally hot when a guy is staring at me, licking his lips and touching himself. You should try it.

    But seriously, I dated a guy for over a year I met at the gym. It was totally organic, no pick up lines, just casual chit chat that built from there.

    Wear some loose fitting short-shorts so when you sit down, you can give the ladies a little show. That will ALWAYS get you some attention.

    Some folks use the gym as a pickup place. The Golds I go to is one of those places. The 24 Hour fitness nearby is not. Spending hours on the elliptical I see a lot of this play out. It seems they guys who say hi on a regular basis as they walk by, over time, end up having longer chats. If the lady says hi back its worth pursuing. I don't know if it turns into dates or just hot afternoon hookups. The lady with the hoodie up, earphones in and staring at the machine display *probably* doesn't want you interrupting her. Although I do see it happen now and again. I actually heard one drop an f-bomb. The guy seemed surprised. Even I picked up she wasn't there to be hit upon.

    Silly OP. Women are not part of the weight equipment. You're supposed to lift dumbbells, not dumb belles! :wink:
  • I swagger up behind them simple and smoothly, and pull a move that looks something like this
