Ladies: Best Way To Approach You In The Gym?

I wasn't going to comment on this thread until I saw the ad on the side of the screen.. So...

I think it's perfectly acceptable to approach a girl who is in full make-up, hair done, matching outfit, and she's glancing around while casually RUNNING on a 3.5 setting on the treadmill. barely breaks a sweat, continues for 5 minutes, gets off, stretches for 25 minutes and then leaves.

THESE are the girls that are there to be hit on!!!

girls with serious sweat and a mission, you'd better not so much interrupt anything!!!

Thats fully unfair - like - **** blocking effing mean- kinda unfair.

I go to the gym in black and grey and baggy tank etc to lift and lift heavy and leave looking like Ive been gangbangeded. But I also am single and know that if I spend time doing the things I love to do, and working on goals that are important to me- then Im much more likely to run into men that are also doing what they love and working on goals that are important to them and those things will be similar to mine! So if a sexy guy walks up to me at the gym and starts a fitness-related conversation while Im waiting for a machine or getting water or signing in or waiting on the bathroom or im cooling down on the treadmill or stretching.... Im going to absolutely want to keep talking to him and hopefully he'll be leaving around the same time as me and we can GO GET A DAMN CHOCOLATE MILK

**** blockers. want men to assume that every chick in the gym is either a brainless flufftard or a married woman on the edge of her seat ready to man-bash.

yo there are normal friggin women in the middle still.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
...flufftard....

Okay, now that I got that out of my system. I agree with this ^^ and a couple other posts. I'd love it if a guy struck up conversation at the gym, especially if it came with any kind of compliment on my progress or how I have good form in my lifting. A guy at the gym approached my sister and I and told us he'd seen us training and that we were doing really good and he was impressed. He wasn't interested in either of us that way (he was a bit older), but it was just nice to hear that a beefed up regular had something nice to say to the gym newbies. Had he been closer to my age and interested, I'd've been all over that as long as he approached tactfully. Obviously don't interrupt an intense workout moment, just find the opportune moment.

And I'm probably one of those women that looks like I'd bite someone's head off. It's not that I would or even that I'm mad, it's that I'm not lifting pink dumbbells and swishing away on an elliptical with no resistance or incline. My face is flashing the mark of evil because I'm sore, tired, worn out, and I want nothing more than to rest and cool off. But that doesn't mean I won't be a civilized darling to any decent man with the balls to approach me.

It's the same as the difference between flirting and sexual harassment. If you are hot, it's flirting. If not, it's sexual harassment. I don't think anyone would mind a hot guy or girl hitting on them. Now the creepy looking guy who stares and has nothing clever to say...not so much. I also have this to add...if you aren't there to get hit on, stop dressing like you are!

Walk up them them holding your junk and in your best Tony Montana voice scream, "Say halllo to my lil frend"

This is how I met my wife. Well, I call her my wife. The courts call her "woman I must remain 500m from at all times", but that is just semantics.

lmao!

I forgot to add, women love guys that draw attention to themselves. Look at nature, it's always the bird with the most vibrant and colorful feathers which finds its mate. Buy spaghetti strap tops so your nipples hang out a bit and grunt very loud when doing all your lifts. That way they know you're top dog. Nothing sets off the pheremones like a sweaty meat head.

Result? The women approach you. Flawless strategy broski.

Ya just the visual I wanted this afternoon...

"YOu look serious. What program are you doing?"

holy fvck worst advice ever. PSA: MEN DO NOT APPROACH A WOMAN IN A PARKING LOT.

that is the worst thing ever, and makes us feel unsafe.

But its so much easier to wait for you in the parking lot!

hide behind her car... and just as she unlocks the door hop in the passenger side. works every time! AND you get a ride home!

Genius!

I'm so doing this later.

that's how i plan to nab husband number 2 assuming my husband really does plan to divorce me if i lose too much booty. LOL hopefully that won't be the case, but you never know. ha!

Don't stare at women and don't hit on them in the gym! You are manking them feel self conscious, and they are there to focus on themselves, not think about anyone around them. A lot of women use the workout as a stress reliever, and you are just taking away from her busy day and the workout she probably depends on to be able to function. Find a woman in a place where they are looking for someone, that is NOT a gym. You may say hi and smile, but dont stare, and stop there. If a woman is interested, she may look at you a lot and MAYBE when she is all done with her workout and showered, etc, you can try small talk on her wait out at th desk or something, but don't be pushy.

One thing you do NOT do is ..... Ask some random person that you had seen talking to her; "Do you know her? Is she a cougar?" because the person you maybe asking could turn out to be that woman's 16 year old son!!!!

True Story!!!! :huh:

HAHA!!! ROTFLOL!! That is too funny! What did the son say in response?

Guess I am the weird girl in the room because I don't mind at all if a guy comes up to talk to me at the gym. I like when they come to the machine next to me and just strike up conversation. To me it shows they are fearless. Sure you could wait till I leave the gym but to me that's creepy and I think you were too wussy to talk to me earlier.
To prevent being rude just say "Hey, I don't mean to interrupt your workout, but I saw you from across the room and you caught my eye. You look like you are going strong in your workout, but I would love to hear from you." Slip me your number and tada! Not only have you energized my workout by making me feel all good on the inside, but I will call/text you haha.

Or "I heard you fart during your benchpress. That's some really good intensity."

You are a real charmer, aren't you! LOL
