I see amazing Physiques all time and beautiful woman! In my eyes how can you approach someone at the gym? If was me I got my headphones in and zone out and don't like to be interrupted and feel like women feel same way especially the creepy type dudes who follow them try to get their attention...

Bro, if I knew I wouldn't give away the secret. Jk.
Dumb luck is about the only way I've ever found my temporary swolemates. 3 in the last 24 years of going to the gym doesn't give me much hope for another. The (lame excuse) for the one I have now only makes it to the gym once a week so I need a replacement. The 1st one was a fitness competitor who asked if she could start lifting with me. God smiled on me temporarily aND we worked out together for a solid year.4 -

I'm working on an app for that, bro. Don't start your bulk until we announce the pre-launch date.

That's a hard question to answer man, the females that are there to workout generally don't want to be bothered in the gym. The females that want attention are there for just that, and don't really care that much about training like you expect. Just let It happen naturally. Or you could just stalk them in the parking lot...lol2

Try this, just introduce yourself as "Arnold Swaganator" if she laughs, you got her, if not walk away, she is either a prude or a dummy.1

Always start with a smile it's an expression of interest xxx1

This is so true. Find the girl with the headphones on and sweating her *kitten* off, even the one who isn't crazy fit yet because obviously she is driven enough to get there at some point.
You may be shy, but eye contact, a smile and a compliment go a long way even to the ones that are busting *kitten*. Asking to work in on a set, or catching her on the way out of the gym, letting her know you admire her dedication and seeing if she'd like to have some coffee on an off day. You don't know until you ask. Just go for it.9 -
Super tough question. I like to wear my "deadlift and chill" shirt to the grocery store and hang out by the protein. lol.
Not really. I have no feedback for you. I always end up dating guys that don't lift and then it ends because they don't lift... oops?

I think that this is really good advice.ive seen some amazing looking women in the gym and wondered how to approach them as well.1 -
You have to be a bit creative and look for opportunities to say something to them. Then the conversation will either end abruptly or continue.0

Not going lie these feedback been eye opener!!!0

I would say try and make conversation after their workout or like @lauranorr said, see if you can offer any advice or help. When I'm working out and sweating like a mother******, the last thing I want is for any human person to come and talk to me
If all else fails, write your number on a protein shake or bottle of water and leave it next to them haha6 -
Asking to work in and then making casual conversation a few times would probably work best on me. After a guy worked in and chatted a few times WITHOUT blatantly hitting me first i'd definitely be more friendly and receptive.6

I personally wouldnt approach a girl at the gym. not unless I kinda knew her through six degrees, or we ended up engaging in conversation over something. Once the ice is broken I let it all hang out. But like Busybee had said, most females dont want to be approached because they are all sweaty and 'feel gross'.
I feel like the best time to approach would be after the gym. While a chick may say, well I feel sweaty then, and just want to go home. Hopefully she will take into account that you probably waited for her to get done with her workout, as well as the fact that she would probably say in her head, 'this guy approached me when I was sweaty, and not looking my best, but he still wants to talk to me'. Meanwhile as a guy I can tell you that we know what we are getting ourselves into. You may not think you look your best, but for a lot of us, you may never look sexier then when you leave the gym.4 -
Need to surround yourself by like minded people. Enjoy being yourself and with friends that enjoy doing the same things you do. There is more to keeping a relationship together besides both going to the gym.0
-
Purposely walk by; tilt head slightly downward, make eye contact and deliver a very slight smile.1
-
I would enjoy being approached anywhere xx it's always nice to know someone finds you attractive xx2
-
A swolemate seems like an awesome situation. I follow a couple on Instagram that were mates first and becoming swole together. Great teamwork and journey in general. So much push and motivation when you can't muster it yourself.0
-
If a guy approached me and asked, Hey what are you working on? Can I do some sets with you? I'd probably let him. As long as he's not creepy or I didn't just catch him staring at my booty while I was bent over doing tricep kickbacks!---You know we can see you in the mirror! lol3

I think the women at your gym are probably wondering how to approach you too. If I were you I'd just speak to someone I was interested in. What do you have to lose?1

I always found it odd that you work out with the same people day in and day out yet there is this unspoken rule about not approaching someone for fear of being labeled a gym creeper...At my last gym, I spoke with management and suggested a get together at a local restaurant/bar... they set it up and advertised it and it was awesome! People finally got to meet and know each other without being in gym gear
