Picking up women at the gym?

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"

But then why do they wear make up?

Seriously? You think women wear make up so you'll feel compelled to hit on them? :huh: Someone please tell me if he's joking, because I can't tell...

I happen to wear make up to the gym because I work out during my lunch break, and I'm not washing it off to work out and then have to put it back on to go back to the office.

^^^ This. Also some women use make up as a security blanket and just don't feel comfortable about going out without it. They don't wear it so men will think they're hot, they wear it so they can feel like they have the confidence to go to the gym.
So next time ANYONE, male or female, has to rip on why people look so flawless when they go to the gym, remember that. Also, remember it's also none of your business why they gussy up for the gym. Get on with your own gymming.

Give her your post-workout banana and ask her to peel it for you. If she uses her teeth, she's giving you the green light; you're in.

I try to meet women at the gym all the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Here are cliffs from when I did it last weekend.

-- Take off the iPod.
-- Eye contact and smile.
-- If she returns the eye contact and smile, then approach her and talk about something fitness related.
-- I talked to a girl who was doing abs and I gave her a few pointers.
-- I didn't want to talk about fitness, but it served as a conversation starter.
-- Turned out I just didn't like this girl (too rough of a personality), so I didn't take it any further than that.

In all, the gym is the second best place to meet women. (grocery store being the best)

Thanks man! Great advice!!

First, wait until she's done with a set.

Then, I always open up with "Hi, my name is Mike". I'll follow it up with "I see that you are doing planks, you might want to keep your head up while doing it".

After you give her some advice, then compliment. Something like "you look like you're in good shape, how often do you come here. I usually work out in the mornings and I haven't seen you around." At that point, if she's even remotely interested, she'll do her best to partake in the conversation.

Happy hunting!

Thank you so much Mike you've been a huge help. I'm actually writing this stuff down! LOL

Is there anyway to tell if a girl is looking for a serious relationship or if she is just into something more casual?

Nearly impossible to tell. If she's wearing a ton of make-up, perfume, yoga pants, and a skimpy top.. chances are she's looking for a good time.

I would prefer to approach a women who's NOT wearing an iPod. That's another subtle hint that they want to be interacted with. However, I approached women who are listening to music, but I haven't had a good success rate.

The most important (and most awkward) part of the approach is the initial introduction. When you say, "Hi, my name is Cr1502" say it with a nice smile. Then immediately go into your next line, which should be related to her actual workout or form on an exercise.

I typcially fallf or the hot guy that sly eyes me. Also, casual conversation usually helps.

The sweat doesn't wash it off? If not, you're doing it wrong.

Bingo.

Try working on your bench and OHP, these compound moves will help you get strong enough to lift them.


glad to help:flowerforyou:

WIN!

grunt when you lift..... sweat a alot and dont wipe anything down.... carry a 5 gallon jug of water with you..... wear a sweatband around your head...and long socks... give them a thumbs up when they are using the correct form that you just showed them, and wink sometimes.. and point... stare in the mirror at yourself, give them an occasional glance to make sure they are watching too....

these are some of the things that work well for me. I have the women chasing me when I leave the gym....

Maybe, like me, they are coming straight from work where they wear makeup. Some women, though, put on makeup as soon as they get out of the shower in the morning because it is habit.

As for picking women up - don't. It bugs me when men come over to talk to me while I am working out. I have to concentrate in order to squeeze those shoulders back, breath out when doing the lift and in when relaxing, etc. And I only take a 30 second break between lifts so as to get some cardio benefits. Talking is not on my agenda and probably not on any other woman's agenda if they are serious about lifting..

On the other hand, there are women who go to the gym just to pick up men. If they are into that and interested in you, they will come to you. These are the ones that are pumping the two pounders and scoping out the men.

Seriously, stop replying thinking it's all serious. Oh actually....carry on, it's kinda funny.....:laugh: Ball shorts....lol. That's gotta be a man phrase, never heard that one before.

OMG, that's you? I've been trying to get the courage to pick YOU up!

Also, when you go to the pool area, make sure to wear a speedo and stuff it with a sock. That is a sure winner. And make sure you don't get rid of any extra hair if it is sprouting out of your back. You could even braid it.
