I know most consider it a no no, but I wouldn't mind it at all if I was approached at the gym!

You go to certain social events/venues because those are the places where there is an expectation of meeting someone duh.

I've been going to my currently for more than 3 years. I talk, I make jokes, I hug, I give the cheecky kisses to the receptionist(s), security man, men and women which I bump into at the gym all the time (before I start my training session of course).

 

During my training, I'd like people to ***** off :love::cool: Hey people, I need to focus on making my ass pumped out like Nicki Minaj :lmao::lmao:

Well, how did she say it?

 

I mean, I get snarky and like sarcasm, and I say it in a way where people take me seriously when I am just joking. I literally have to say "hey, I was just joking".

 

One time I spoke to my latest crush, he was picking up something and it got a little undone and I said something like 'see, you messed it up', 'better pick it up now'. And, I was not being mean, I just talk like that.

 

Actually, I even give middle fingers to people when I'm comfortable with them. They know I'm not flipping them off. But I'm kinda saying "oh, f-you" without saying "f-you".

 

Get it?

 

But I think there are some people that come to the gym to pick up others. I mean, you should see how some of those women dress. I really think the ones going there to pick up people are the ones in super tight/revealing stuff who don't do anything and just leave. I wonder if the gym pays them to come and make the gym look good - like a go-go dancers at the club or "Ladies' Nite" at a club. :laugh:

Against all odds, a slender, fit man my entire life, I've found myself with a few extra pounds. I've had quite a few dinner and lunch dates in the last couple of months. Pretty tame stuff, not much interesting comes from my dating life :o. But I have the pounds to show for it.

 

I went to the nearest gym, I was filled with hopes of dropping pounds and making dates with gym hotties. I jokingly told the manager lady that I was tired of being fat & ugly. She said that if I joined up... I would just be ugly. I waited for her to chuckle but she just glared at me. Why do people have to be so mean?:(

 

I agree that the gym is one of the worst places to meet women. In all my years of going to gyms there was only one time where a woman showed interest - and that was when I was 23. Unfortunately, I was more interested in her girlfriend who had a boyfriend so nothing happened. I think the reason for it is that most of the people in the gym who are regulars are there for business (working out) and not to meet people. Those who go to gyms to meet people don't last long because they're not really into working out and they get discouraged quickly when they don't get interest from the opposite sex. I'll occasionally make eye contact with a woman or check one out, but I don't even bother trying to take it further.

Yeah, they're called gymbelinas and I've never bothered with them. I figured they're just there to tease.

Gallery openings, wine bars, restaurant mixers, dance clubs, book clubs...

 

Concur with FitChick; we women who go to the gym are not there to get hit on. Heck, we are not looking are best and are there to improve ourselves. We want to get in, do the work, and get the heck out.

 

Do they go to these places to socialize with other women or to meet men? Women in a pack are not the most approachable.

Piffle.

 

No, but don't be one who starts threads of indignation when attempting an incomplete forward pass at a gym or at the woman's job.

 

 

Has that worked for you?

 

I agree with enigma. I had one girl get pissed because I called her on a Thursday for Saturday night. This was after telling me a couple weeks prior when I called her on a Tuesday that it was too early. Anyway, I ended up kicking that one to the curb. I think most women don't even realize how ridiculous their behavior appears to men.

But that could be said of interrupting anybody anywhere doing anything at anytime!! The advice to meet people is go where you have mutual interests blah blah blah. Well, if you're both at the gym....then isn't that mutual?

 

 

I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. I have dated and hooked up with a few women I met at the gym. It's just a place.

 

I can understand women saying to not approach them at the gym. I am sure it would suck to constantly have some guy coming up to them they have no interest in while they are at the gym. Even if that guy waits inbetween sets.

 

It's not so much the place, it's the guy. She wouldn't want that guy coming up to her anywhere. But in a bar scene, she is more prepared to reject and not have to concern herself with awkwardness of seeing that same guy in bright lighting the next day.

 

I think it's more a case of, "don't call me, I'll call you". Or actually, I'll let you know somehow to call me.

 

You can generally pick up on when women like you and want you to come up to them. The gym is not the wrong place with those girls. If this is confusing, than don't approach women at the gym.

"Gymbelinas"? Well, on top of "dependas", I guess I learn something new every day :laugh:

I don't know GP. I appear to be going against the grain here, but I'm often wondering about new sexual positions involving the leg curl machine.

 

Bring your nuggets and hit me up. I'm the one in the Uriah Heep tshirt. ;)
