Is the gym a good place to meet men/women?

    It's definitely not for me. I never used to be one for "gym guys" but now I'm marrying one. However, had I met him in the gym I don't know that I'd have given him a shot.

    I am there to workout so I hate going there during the meat market time frame.

    I am there to workout and train, so I never flirt or converse at the gym. :angry:

    So i think this guy hit on me the other day at the gym but im really shy and i didnt really know what to say. Do you have any suggestions on what i could say if i see him again? Something from a guys perspective maybe.

    From what I can tell (from my own FL) the "gym guys" are usually the softies hahaha

    No. My time at the gym is never social time, and I find myself very irritated with people who attempt to distract me.

    ^ This!

    I'm sure I look like a total jerk when I'm working out, but at least I don't have dudes wasting my valuable gym time with mindless chit-chat. :tongue:

    Exactly what I do, too. Nobody comes near me - WIN... except now I can't even get anyone to offer to spot me! lol

    Whaaaat? There are other people at the gym? When I go all I see are heavy things and heavier things to lift up and put down. I must be going to the wrong gym.

    Nope I hate being distracted at the gym even if someone is paying that sort of interest in me.

    I'm not gonna lie - I certainly enjoy the show while I'm on the treadmill or stair climber, but when I'm lifting or stretching, I like to be left the hell alone.

    It depends. Many women are rather inapproachable at the gym and make it obvious they don't want to be bothered. All my friends tell me since I work at a gym that I shouldn't have any trouble meeting fit girls, but I do because of the above reason. So, trying to date a girl from a gym, or even initiate a conversation with one, is quite a rare opportunity. It's too bad because I love fit women.

    There will always be men looking to find women at the gym.

    Women understand this, and most have on ipods/earpieces to look unapproachable.

    They still do though!

    I think that it depends on the approach. It's obvious that you two have something in common if you're both there. However, when I go to the gym, I am there to workout. The girls at my gym that get hit on are usually the ones that come in with their hair done, make up on and barely any clothes...that would not be me haha

    "Getting hit on at the gym"


    I wish!! LOL or rather .. I hope somebody notices me at some point.. .. :blushing: :blushing:

    okay .. maybe I'm a little shy and don't look directly at anyone out of fear.. so I don't notice -- I do go mainly to work out .. that's what I paid for .. not an escort service :wink:

    I think it's fine to meet like-minded people, however I'm there to workout and don't like to be disturbed. Afterwards it's fine but not during. To avoid getting hit on, it helps to have earphones on and avoid eye contact whatsoever.

    just an honest question, and then why all girls wonder "where is all the good men" when they try their best not to hold any eye contact EVERYWHERE?!!
