Hitting on women in the Gym

When I went to the gym I was all business. I put on my headphones and zoned out. I didn't hit on females at the gym. If I saw an attractive lady I'd think good for her keep it up. Maybe I'll see her out and about then hit on her but, not when I'm doing my thing. I did always get guys asking me about my routine,,,,,gawd I hated that. I'm there to train not have social hour

There was a survey that read most people met there other half at the supermarket...hmmm! I am sure you would rather meet your other half at the gym!

If he/she is single and you are not doing it in a stakling way, then why not go and have a little chat.:-)

Definitely dont be a creeper about it. But theres something to be said about someone seeing you sweaty and still finding that attractive thats super flattering.

It's flattering! Because I am not looking my hottest while at the gym (no makeup, messy hair, sweaty, gym clothes). So to get hit on while I am all natural is a compliment.

It sort of makes me laugh....I have girlfriends who complain they don't know where to find good men and those same women complain when they get hit on. You can't have it both ways, girls! Talking to people isn't all that hard. And usually if you are tactful enough to let someone who is hitting on you know that you're not interested/taken/ect....things are going to be okay. There are probably tons of great guys in gyms who have the same interests as you (like....getting into shape or staying in shape). Let's not turn this into a world where the only way we can find a date is through internet dating sites. Oh noes!

I don't get hit on at the gym. Apparently I am "intimidating".... so I've been told. :huh:

LOL..I have been told that also..

Same here, sort of. This actually happens everywhere, not just at the gym.

But either way, no I don't mind. I'd be completely flattered, and who knows what could come out of it? I agree with the "starting with common ground" thing too. Always a good conversation starter.

Assuming you do it in a non-creeper way (No following them home/to the parking lot, no waiting for them, no breathing heavily in their ear as they try to stretch, no leering, ect)

How do you ladies feel about being hit on in the gym? Is that a no-no, or would you be flattered? I know a lot of women feel "dirty" or "nasty" from being all sweaty and tired.

It really just depends.

Some guys are just strange and/or annoyingly persistent. If I had a better attitude, I would try and see it as flattering, but really it just creeps me out.

Sometimes I find it flattering. But that's just being hit on, in general. I went a very, very long time where the only comments about my looks were negative, so now on the odd occasions that someone hits on me I am flattered (and then I start the negative internal monologue about how he's "just being nice" :grumble: )

Mostly I am pretty neutral. I do not go to the gym often any more, because my membership is at the gym I used to work at, and when I go to workout all the regulars ask me to fix things for them. When I do go, I tend to try and ignore everyone there until my workout is done, which discourages conversation of any sort, I guess.

Definitely flattering to get hit on at the gym!

It's creepy no matter what, IMO.

Lol
But I'm a weirdo, and usually it's not the attractive ones who flirt.
