Picking up women at the gym?

true story0 -
This.Why do men have to be freakin sick? I go to the gym to workout. Not get hit on or to meet men. Nothing grossed me put more than when I'm busy doing something like working out or shopping for food and some pathetic low life thinks picking up a woman at a gym or grocery store is appropriate.
Agreed. Not all women are wanting to be hit on. Women are capable of exercising, having careers, having goals, etc. Men creeping on them is just degrading and disrespectful.
The OP is specifically asking how he can NOT come off as creepy. Maybe help him out with that because he is trying to be considerate of women. If you don't want someone hitting on you and they were polite about it, be polite in return. Surely you can be polite while turning someone down?
I only read his original post. I don't see anything about not coming off as creepy. I don't have time to read all of his additional posts. I still find the topic degrading.
It's a joke. He knows it's stupid. That's why he posted it... most of the responses indicate that most of the people here also get it is a joke. The sad part is, some people really think like this
But we're making fun of those idiots!!!!
So lighten up! And join the fun!

This is why sexism still exists. People find it funny to degrade women.
And of men too but nodody seems to care about that.
QFT. Number one pet peeve.
Woman: "OMG MEN ALWAYS TRYIN' TO HIT ON ME IT GETS SO OLD."
Same woman: "Mmmmm I would climb that boy like a tree."

Hey like I said everone.
I wasn't trying to offend.
There was thread on here the other day about a girl with a crush on a guy at the gym and she got a load of people giving her support and giving her different ways to approach him.
Now I'm being called sexist lol0 -
Don't be afraid of using your hands to correct any subtle imbalances you see. It's helpful, and women love being touched! They might say they don't, but it's just to make you prove your intention by working harder.0

Are you guys trying to say "sexiest" or "sexist"? I think that women conforming to their appropriate gender role is indeed, the sexiest.

Well, if the conversation is going to be about what we personally find sexy in the opposite sex, then I have to say long hair, dreads, and a sweet smile. Oh, also, I have a thing for critical thinking skills.0 -

So... not taking the time to read something, getting the wrong idea, and judging someone because of it is okay.
Sounds legit.
anyone who says degrading, is not cool in my book. try this' "GET OVER IT"....and yes, my book is awesome.0 -
Wear the shortest shorts you can find. Wait until she's on the ground doing situps, then stand directly in front of her, facing the opposite direction, and do squats as she's coming up. HOTTTTTTTT!!! I imagine this would also work if said woman were on a rowing machine.0

Form is absolutely important in these delicate situations.
When picking up women over 90lbs, remember to lift with your legs.
My mind is all over the place now................:blushing:0 -
^Thank God there are people like you that can still be sensible. It's unfortunate that most times I see anything about sexism it's by someone who has no sense of humor. For sure it exists. But humor shouldn't have to stop existing for it to go away. The key is what the persons intent is if you ask me.I care about that. A lot.
I *hate* sexism with a passion...how it affects girls AND boys. Women AND men (and everyone else too!)....
to think that sexism still exists because someone posted a patently obviously sarcastic post about what stupid dudes do in the gym is NOT the reason sexism still exists. This is part of being critical about sexism.0 -

OP (and replies) are actually laughing at the stupidity of picking up women or being ungentlemanly while striking up a conversation.
The target of the joke is men (i.e., men are being poked fun at, not women).
At least that's how I saw it. Did you see it differently?0 -

No wonder you like critical thinking, you're so mean. I like optimistic thinking! It's the best!

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?0 -
Trying to get this thread back on track, some people were saying picking up two girls at a time would be a better workout... I agree, but in light of some recent posts, I have to also add that it seems you should ask them first.0

I'm a little confused.
I don't want to try to come off creepy here.
It would just be nice to take one or two of them home every once in a while.

And now we're back to how sexism affects men! The assumption that a man would bang anything, but a woman is going to be delicate and selective, that a man is going to be an inconsiderate brute and a woman is going to be super considerate, is really driven home by how people responded to these two different threads.
*sigh*
In my experience, most of the men at my gym have been super cool. There has only been one guy that made me feel uncomfortable with his leering. But to be honest, there are a few women who also annoy the crap out of me by wanting my attention, so it's not a problem.
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:

Picking up anyone at the gym...........

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 gym0 -

A simple way is just to be around them/next to them I've had guys approach me while I was on an exercise bike, TWICE and the other was in the stretch room and he just brought up anything, I cant remember.0

What are some creative ways to do this?
I've already corrected them on their form and stared at them for a really long time in hopes that they would come and talk to me.
I was hoping others might have some suggestions . . . .
Staring for a long time would creep me out.
Just come to the machine next to me and talk to me.0 -

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!0 -

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.0 -

Club them over the head with barbie weights, drag them to your love lair.
Profit.
