    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...)

    Especially bartender. Of course there going to flirt for a better tip.


    Uh oh, I married my bartender..... boy o' boy, has he had to work for that tip =P

    You are a girl, no problem with you going up and talking to a guy. Guys on the other hand run the risk of over sensitive girls putting on the "perv" or "he's a creeper" label very easily, so guys tend to shy away from doing this. At least with the guys I know.

    I used to be more friendly working out, but I've become very much "in my own world" as time goes by too. The whole "If I think he's good looking, its OK, otherwise he's creepy" thing sure does apply though. I've seen a girl even complain about a guy looking at them too much and have the staff talk to the guy who was most probably "innocent" of the "crime of looking". I know it was probably all in her head, since I found her raising eyebrows at me thinking I was staring at her sometimes too, when I wasn't...she apparently liked me, not that other guy because I wasn't complained about. Not that I don't ever look, but I don't stare, and I sure wouldn't be staring at a crazy lady who's known to complain about guys staring at her!

    Anyways...sure sometimes there is a real creepy guy too, but this is the kind of stuff a guy has to think about when approaching a girl in the gym: is she going to go nutty on me and make things uncomfortable/ unpleasant/ cause me consequences I may be better off leaving this gym over??? I've never had it happen, and usually I've been in a relationship so its not something I do, but I've seen the results of those who have. Just go talk to him don't expect him to talk to you!

    I wouldn't be totally against the idea but preferably not while I'm cycling like crazy with sweat pouring down my face or mid set of weights reps.

    i think if most people are single and attracted to you wont mind you hitting on them in the gym if the timing is right (not interupting them when they REALLY dont want to be)

    the problem is that its hard to determine who is and is not single without interupting them and the time that they least want to be interupted could be different for everyone.

    when I got to the gym people think I am there to clean the floors or something.

    don't even lift maybe why, but unlikely to happen

    It's all about the community. If I can help a fellow lifter by allowing myself to be picked up, then I see no problem as long as they put me back down (gently).

    My husband kind of frowns on me getting picked up in the gym. Especially since I work out in my home gym.

    I would be open to it, but just catch me before I start my workout or after.

    Waitresses and bartenders are the best ones to hit on, they have to keep coming back to you. Creepy? <backing out of room>

    Sure!
    I'm good at multi-tasking.

    If a man wants to approach me at the gym, I never think 'don't bother me'. I think 'mmmm sweaty. Has potential. Lick lips. Smile... look at those biceps..wait no look at his eyes ... Yes, look at eyes... He is a person... A person with great thighs HOLY ... No no don't appear creepy! Look at his eyes....

    I think if it's done in the right way, I might be okay with it. But in my experience I have only had guys approach me with creepy offers for example; offering to help me stretch in the creepiest way possible. Lol

    Yup as long as my boyfriend doesn't find out. :laugh:

    I was just gonna say this...sub husband for BF...

    But seriously if I was single why not...if that is where I am spending my time and that's what I am interested in that's the best place to meet guys...and friends for that matter who have similar interest

    I mean no one blinks if you date someone you go to church with, meet at a hardware store/library/grocery store...
    Sure!

    Not sure about your gym, but at mine, the guys spend more time staring at themselves in the mirror, than they do checking out the ladies around them!

    LOL that's exactly what happens at my gym :laugh:

    While I'm at the gym, I'm usually very focused on the exercise at hand. However, it should be considered a compliment since you're usually not looking your best and someone would still find you attractive... (provided it's done tastefully. Licking the bench after she's done does NOT count as tasteful btw.)
