As the title states.......

There is this really nice looking chick at the gym I started going to that I see pretty much the whole time im there. My thoughts are that most women probably just want to go to the gym to work out and don't usually want guys bothering them. My friends think otherwise, they say that if women wanted to be left alone they would be at an all women gym.

Opinions please..........

 

Bad place. Women are sweaty and just want men to leave them alone. Catch her on the way out.

I would think the gym is pretty tough to hit on a girl, but I think the best bet is to catch them at the end when they're stretching out.

 

minch take notes!

 

People used to come and talk to me all the time at the gym (I was very muscular, which I think caught many people's attention). If you want to go talk to her, then do it! There's no rule saying you can't go talk to anyone there. If she wants to be left alone, you'll catch on, and respect that. No biggie.

To me the gym is not a social club. I hate it when people attempt to treat it as such.

Catch her on the way as suggested.

 

if she looks like she won't be pissed then go for it. i know some people at the gym just hate to be bothered. its kinda hit or miss.


if shes working out around you ask her to spot you then you cna make conversation after, or park near her car if you know what she drives, then make convo on the way out or something.

 

I agree. I think it all depends on the person. But no harm in trying. The worst that'll happen is she won't be in the mood to chat, and if that's the case - then respect it. If she's been eyeing you too or is interested, I'm sure she'll gladly chat with you during a workout or suggest meeting up for a shake or something afterwards. Have you ever seen her after workouts or in the lobby - places other than on the floor? If you think that'd be a more appropriate time to approach her, then do it then. I saw many women at the gym who seemed to go there just to attract men's attention and made it their goal to stand out in a crowd and be noticed.

Then there are people who really do just go there to workout, focus, enjoy having their own time, and get the job done without distractions.

I ended up making friends with all of the staff and some members and really enjoyed talking with them while I was there, but when it was time to work out -- I actually concentrated on that. I never chatted up any of the male members who'd come up to me. I just wasn't interested at the time.

There's no way to know until you try, or choose not to and forget about it.

 

Usually women will give you hints that they're receptive to having you strike up a conversation with them or hit on them. In that case the gym's a perfectly acceptable place to hit on chicks.

I've even had a girl who is an IFBB bodybuilder hit on me. It's kind of emabrassing to have a girl tell you that she sees you as her inspiration in the gym - especially when she's butch and has an overly muscular upper body that makes her back and shoulders resemble those of a guy. For those of us who rarely drink and avoid dating coworkers a gym is a decent place to meet women. Just make sure it's not the only reason you're there.

Anyway,that was over a year and half ago when I was 25 lbs lighter and a lot more fit than I am now.

PS: OTOH I have never ever met a girl at the supermarket and have never seen anyone else do it. Kinda weird because whenever you see TV shows like "Love Connection" people love to say that's their favorite place to meet women.

 

My gym is my sanctuary. I don't touch the pussy there (though i do look sometimes ).

 

I was on the elliptical with my friend and she dared me to hit on the girl beside me (who looked like a shy girl). So I did. I asked her if she knew what time it was because the clock in the gym was broken, and she looked at her watch and told me, and then asked me how long my workout was, and it went from there for about 10 or 15 minutes we were on the machines. After that she asked me to lunch in the Student's Union Building, but I told her that she was the wrong gender. She was then upset and left the workout area and went into the hall. Dunno where she went.

 

HAHA funny this topic came up bc I have been making some advancements toward the ladies in my gym lately. I work at an Air Force Base so the selection of ladies is quite good. Many military and civlians to choose from. I typically wont just go up to a girl I see the first time and start spitting game. I will often start a small conversation with them if i have seen them at the gym a few times.

I have older guys come up to me all the time asking me about my workout, since I "look" like i know what im doing, but i really do. I always give out pointers on what benefits me and tell them some of the different exercises I do for certain muscles.

As far as the ladies I have confronted 3 thus far and all 3 are very attractive and I'd consider dating either one. Each of them were very friendly and take time to talk to me everytime they see me now.

Girl 1) Confronted her when walking past her one time after i had seen her multiple times at the gym. We have just chat back and forth but I havent made any actions to see her out of the gym.
Girl 2) Confronted her while she was walking on the tred mill. I see her all the time and she always used to look and smile at me, so I approached her. I asked her to do something outside the gym and she said she would like to get to know me better before anything happend. (Doesn't make sense to me b/c I think a date would be the best way to get to know me.....although she didnt say she had a bf or that she wasnt interested)
Girl 3) Confronted last week her after seeing her one day in my step aerobics class. She was checking me out in the mirrors and she is really hot, I could not pass up this opportunity. Her boobs were so distracting as they bounced up and down. I asked her to do something sometime and she said sure. We exchanged numbers and I have talked to her a few times. Of course she had to go out of town this week for work so Im going to try and set something for this Sunday.

All in all I wouldnt go hitting on every single girl in the gym. There are plenty of hot ones that i always check out but so many of them are wearing rings. I dont feel like there is anything wrong with friendly conversation.

 

The hottest ones at my gym are the ones that work there. I just can't bring myself to ask anyone out because it's my sanctuary and I need it without distractions. If I'm denied, it would be too awkward.

I will talk to almost anyone, but just can't go over that line at the gym.

 

The gym is for working out.
There is almost no way to try to pick a girl up at the gym without looking and sounding like a cheesy asshole.


So CK, you're in a step aerobics class????

 

There's definitely no hard-and-fast rule for hitting on chicks at the gym ... considering that, nowadays, the gym is more a social scene than just a "sanctuary" for training. The reality is that many people (both male and female) go to the gym and place precedence of "meeting and interacting" over "getting in shape." It's somewhat sad but true.

Besides, meeting new people is mostly about capitalizing on opportunities, right? Whether it be on the street, in an elevator, at a restaurant/bar, visiting your parole officer, wherever ... it's all about taking that swing. If you miss, oh well. Move on. But if you hit, great. Like any social scene, there will be people at the gym who appreciate and are receptive to the interest and others who shun it.

 

What's a gym?

 

I do not like shitting where I eat.

Plus, I am in an amazing relationship...but even when I wasn't I did not.

AND...if the chick is hot enough...and once in awhile they are...just rub one out later.

 

Is it cuz those women feel intimidated by your blackness??

 

I don't follow the "don't shit where you eat" philosophy anymore, i've decided life's too short. But the one place i can go to just get away from everyone and everything isn't worth it.

 

yes, yes i am as funny as that may be laugh it up . A friend of mine is the instructor and for 1 hour 15 minutes a week I get a kick ass cardio/ab workout that is actually more fun then riding a bike or running in place. There are also some pretty good lookin women in there so thats a bonus.

 

:gheylaugh:




j/k, i could benefit from step aerobics...I'm in shape body-wise, but not aerobically.

 

It works on your agility as well and its fun. My body is in plenty of shape I just dont like running.

 

Hmm. my gym has a fit-box class that looks fun. You just hit different bags/air/spar the whole time.

 

The women who want to be hit on at the gym are usually the ones that have make-up or full make-up on. Women who are serious about working out, don't wear make-up to workout.

So if she's got paint on her face, go at it. If not, wait until after she works out.

 

I suggest but hot damn every girl at the gym wears a little amount of clothes its hard not to want to be like damn. But you never know some girls may have bfs. AND OMG some of the high school girls at the Y are so hot

 

What if they wear perfume to smell nice. I took a girl to the gym before and I could smell her nice scent and im like why your gonna get sweaty and smelly.

 

I may try to catch her after she's done, but were usually on diffrent schedules and I don't want to be running out the door to catch her. Im all over the place in there and she comes in and does 1-1.5hrs of cardio and then she's gone. She doesn't wear makeup or anything like that, she's there to do her thing and then she's gone. She's got one of those girl next door looks that drive me crazy

Ill see what happens, I really don't want to ruin the gym experince by making it a dating place. Although im like one of the other posters that im not a drinker and I hate the club scene, so the gym is one of the few coed places that im at.

 

I bet this chick gets hit on all the time...

 

That sounds like fun. I've always wanted to do a kickboxing class or something like that. Its a great exercise class and its fun so it doesnt seem like typical exercising.


You dont have to make it into a dating place, just go talk to her atleast and progress from there. You dont have to start right out of the gate trying to get a date with her. Plus if you see her in there all the time you know where to find her.

Yes i agree this prolly holds true most of the time, but damn there is nothing like a girl that can look smokin hot with no makeup. Those are the kind i prefer.

 

wow that is fucking disgusting.

 

had to, it got me cheap membership

 

it's window shopping only for me at the gym

 

Damn I saw a girl yesterday at the gym and she is pretty attractive. Seen her there a few times, and then I saw her driving away from the tanning place I went to right after the gym. She wasn't wearing a ring. I think im gonna say something next time I see her.

 

Judging from her face I would say she was pretty hot before she turned into a transsexual.

 

I'll call photochop. her face and upper neck don't even look like they are straining.

 

I don't know if it is or not, I picked off of a random website, but her head seems a bit disporportionate in relation to her body.

And yeah you're right it is disgusting, I just don't understand how some guys can find it attracting. This lady (well what i think is a lady) looks very similar to that image, goes to into my gym. I've seen her outside of the gym and even then, she looks scarey. With the steroids they pump in themselves, they just don't look femine anymore or even sound like it.

Anyway, we're off subject, problem I find is most women that come to the gym already have a bf or husband, at least for the Gold's or 24 hour near me, so hitting on any chick is generally not a good idea, especially if her bf is a 270 lbs, 6' foot something dude, solid muscle and is on roid rage...

 

Dated two, married one. I would say it has to be approached carefully. You don't want to get the chester the molester image.
