Ladies: Best Way To Approach You In The Gym?
Replies

I used to go to the gym with my SO's sister and every single time without fail at least one guy would come up to us while we were working out. They were more interested in her since she has a BANGIN' body.... But it was kind of annoying when we were trying to work and they would just hang around us trying to get her number. The best was when they couldn't get hers so they tried for mine... Nice, huh?
And she'd say "Sorry, I have a boyfriend, just trying to work out," and they still wouldn't get the hint. There were even ones who were regulars and would try every time we went.
It started to get really annoying so eventually we stopped going. I'm going to start going again because I really want to get in shape but I think I'm going to skip going with her. :P
IMO, I wouldn't bother ladies at the gym while they're "in the zone" ie. listening to their ipod, working out hard, etc... If they're finishing up or doing something light and you're really interested, sure, say hi or something. Don't get creepy though lol. But I wouldn't start using the gym as a place to pick up girls. Seems like some guys at the gym just go for anything they can and it gets a bit awkward sometimes. But if you're sincere, make it known. Don't just say "Hey you're really hot can I get your number?" lol. Introduce yourself. I also really like what someone else said earlier on in the thread. Smile at her. If she smiles back, thats a good sign! If she ignores you, don't try it. :P0 -
Don't do it!! If she really wants to talk to you, SHE WILL come over to you and let you know that she is interested. Most,if not all, women are at the gym for the same purpose as you,they want to get in a nice workout and that's it. Save yourself the "Hello Mr. Creepy. please get away from me" nervous laughter or the "Dude,I'm working out here,get away from me..now!" glare or she will simply ignore you and continue on with her circuit. Don't try and reinvent the wheel.....you will look creepy and avoidable if you approach her and she doesn't receive your advances well. And yes, word will spread and you have just become "THAT guy!!"
Just workout and save yourself the headache,0 -

I sincerely regret ever posting this thread.
Edit: by the way, I bet the guy who posted about wanting to date his brother's ex wife last week has a very similar regret!!0 -
Don't. Due to anti-male laws, you're more likely to leave there in a Police car instead of your own car.
The next thing you know there will be a sexual harassment law against you, and you will be bared from
the gym for life. For the love of God, DON'T DO IT!!!!!0
