    Don't you need to treat the gym as you would ANY public place where people gather? You have to gauge the environment you're in, and the people who are in it. For example if you were in a coffee shop and saw a girl you wanted to talk to but she had earbuds in and was clearly focused on her laptop, those are clues that it's not a good time to approach her. Conversely if she's in an open posture, leaning back in her chair smiling and looking around the room, perhaps even making small talk with other customers... better time to strike up a POLITE conversation. This isn't rocket science.

    Translate that to any other environment you're in. Even the gym. Some people are only there to get their exercise in. You should be able to pick those people out. Other people will be more open to at least having a conversation. If you're interested in one of those people, strike up a polite conversation. But also be respectful of their time. If they're interested in talking to you they will make it evident.

    The issue here isn't whether or not the gym is off limits, the issue here is not being able to read non verbal cues, and not having any social maturity or etiquette.

    I like this ^^^ ...i was about to post why not the gym...not that you should use it as a bar to pick up women but if you find yourself attracted to someone at church, store, coffee shop would you approach them? I wouldnt personally only because im too shy but would be receptive to someone approaching me. However, like @denny_mac said be able to read social cues. And dont overstay your welcome.

    Don’t. I’ve been approached at the gym and it’s uncomfortable. I’m there to work out. If the girl is into you she may show interest (smile, saying hi, or asking about your workout).
    I know a few girls that refuse to go to a gym and instead work out at home because of men approaching them.

    Start with a butt slap to set precedence, then mention “That peach look juicy” while smiling and walking away. You will have plenty of time to get to know them one on one in court. 👍🏼

    I agree with this.

    Although I think that in the technological age we are in, reading social cues is becoming a lost skill......

    I wouldn’t mind being approached at the gym but if I seem disinterested, please take the hint.

    What's the best way haha?

    Hi. That's it. No staring, no whistling, no leering. If she wants to talk she will let you know. If not move on. I for one prefer not to talk at the gym

    in the gym... no.

    instead


    just wait for them in the parking lot




    inside their car






    in the backseat.

    My husband did this to me once. I kept leaving my car unlocked and he decided to teach me a lesson. I lock my car now.

    Lots of discouraging messages for you, lol. Look if you are interested in a girl, just man up, Man. If she rejects you, say Jk Jk laugh and cover your face walking off. But you know what?!? You did it! You should be proud. You can’t win if you don’t compete.

    1. Wear gray sweats (ifyouknowwhatimean)
    2. Stand in front of her and stretch. Stretch it goooood.
    3. Stare until she makes eye contact
    4. Wink and blow her a kiss
    5. Ask if you can taste her sweat
    6. Tell the officer you didn't do anything wrong
    7. Post bail
    8. Ignore the restraining order
    9. Don't be put off by failure.



    Don't ever do this!! :D:D:D however she might hang around if the officer is @kinetixtrainer2

    Haha I appreciate that but I highly doubt it. I’m a sweaty mess in the gym.
