    I feel like this is an appropriate thread to share this on. Last time I was at the gym I felt like this (the link below) trying to communicate with anyone... including the excessively attractive greater at the front counter.... and all I wanted to know was info about the gym!

    In my inability to be socially appropriate in situations like that I would likely just pass by him before you left and leave a card or piece of paper with your name and number on it and maybe a brief message. Pretty easy to let him know you are interested without interrupting his workout. *shrugs* Take it with a grain of salt though cause I suck at the whole dating/flirting thing. Met my last three relationships online, so I don't really know much. :P

    I never really gave thought to trying to pick girls up in the gym:/ suppose i could have when i was single. The only thing on my mind in the gym are my PR's.

    Back in the 80's, that's where you went to meet the opposite sex. The Raquetball Club I went to was more popular than any club around.

    I would like someone to pick me up at the gym. And carry me out to my car on leg day. :wink: I would be ok with a guy talking to me, if he wasn't being creepy about it.

    I am at your service, my lady.

    Hi CupcakeDammit! :smooched:

    You're the bestest! :smooched:

    Hi Mister Universe! :heart:

    At my gym, pretty much all the young girls give off a "*kitten* off" vibe, while some women in their mid-thirties seem more friendly (eye contact, smile, small talk).

    Even if I was single, I wouldn't be into it. When I get sweaty and gross, I don't feel comfortable being near anybody.

    Anyone actually open to getting picked up at the gym?

    Been a long time since I have been looking to get picked up, or pick anyone up, but even back in the day I ALWAYS kept the gym as the one place I wanted no interest from anyone and paid no interest to anyone. Nothing like getting your heart rate up, having a great workout, then having some chatty Kathy (or anyone else for that matter) cool ya down with a long talk.

    Just leave me be. Nothing personal to anyone, but I got chit to do.

    what's wrong with it -- at least you know you have something in common

    I've dated someone I met at the gym - it was fine and we shared a common interest

    I was just commenting the other day to my friend about how unfair it is that guys look so sexy all sweaty and muscles/veins popping out...yum...while working out... Then females generally look like Drown Rats after working out..even if they are all muscley and fit. ITs SO UNFAIR.

    That being said. I think the gym is as good as any place to meet someone. Why not.

    I don't pick people up at the gym. Memberships are too expensive. I just wait until they leave and follow them.

    I am totally open to it. I spend enough time there. And I definitely want someone who is as active as I am.

    If someone tries to flirt with me at the gym, then I will just go ahead and marry them. I don't care about my appearance at the gym, which is probably bad. I wear baggy clothes, I smell like wet dog and sweat, I don't wear any makeup, I don't always shave my legs while wearing shorts, and sometimes a little toot comes out when I'm squatting.

    This! The exact reason I shouldn't be reading comments at work. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I've always been open to being picked up anywhere by the right guy. And by picked up I mean fallen madly in love with and married for life. SO yeah, if something like that is about to go down, I'm not gonna care where it happens.

    I have two rules... i don't hit on women in the gym and I don't hit on women who are at work (waitress, bartenders etc...)

    Good rules. I'm a teacher. I've had dads hit on me. It was creepy.
    NO!
