Girls at the gym

have you tried saying hello?

the gym is for exercise not socializing please go outside to do this

the people in this thread are right

gym is a bad place to speak to a woman

i got approached by girls twice in 5 years of lifting. in this circumstances only should you ever try to pound in a gym. otherwise you'll just look thirsty and desesperate.

qt kept invading my safe bubble today
what do i do

>>36343585
I always think about it. But then I think "then what?" I don't have anything to say after that.

>>36343591
I used to feel that way too. Same with school. I'm here to learn, not socialize. However, recently I started wondering what could have been if I had approached these girls. I'm realizing that being social is a full time thing, and I want to work on it.

That's the right attitude to have anon. The whole, "don't socialize in the gym" routine is legitimately a fucking meme. With that logic no one would meet anyone anywhere other than at a bar/club/social gathering. As far as how to approach women in the gym, I've got pretty much nothing, other than say hello and take it from there. You could always mention whether or not you've seen her before (i.e. i see you here a lot, or I've never seen you before) and take it from there. Really you just have to start talking to people and practice your socializing skills until you get good enough to confidently ask a girl out.

I think people generally agree not to try to talk to/pick up girls at s gym because literally EVERYONE is there with one goal in mind. To work out . the gym is just a place where no one wants to be bothered. Now if you have a specific girl in mind and you feel like she's noticed you and her body language seems inviting sure but overall to just randomly walk up to one you don't know just don't

It's a general consensus that women don't want to be bothered at the gym anyway

It's fine to socialize but the gym is not a social setting so

>>36343575
Start talking to the guys you see evert time you do to the gym. Once you can name at least a half dozen other dudes, and are on friendly speaking terms with at least a few people every session before or after you lift then start working in the ladies. Just be social at the gym, figure out how to do it successfully.

she might be closer than you think ;)

English isn't my first language so sorry in advance if I fuck up.

I'm on the same boat as you as in I also believe socializing is a full time activity. You're either social or you aren't. You either talk to people at the gym/at school/hell in the fuckin bus or you don't.

That being said, I talk to women in the gym. Some examples: there's this one girl I used to see all the time. Cute af and always lifts very hard (saw her bench 2pl8s once). So yeah one time I was drinking water at the fountain and she comes up behind me. I just jokingly said ''so what's next? 8 plates squats?''. She just laughed. Next day we just exchanged smiles. Then names. And so on.

Another time this one girl was squatting with her back rounded next to me. Just told her ''watch out'' - her ''what?'' - your back's rounded. Kept on with my lifting and later went to ''apologize if that was rude', introduced myself and so on.

Other times there are girls I'd like to go and talk to but I realize the context just isn't good.

What I mean is the gym is no different than the rest of the world. If you know how to approach women (and even guys, just people in general, at this point I'm bros with every regular in the place) and you ask ''how do I approach women in the gym'' the answer is ''same as you would outside the gym''. If you don't know how to approach women, what you're asking isn't ''how do I approach women in the gym?'' but ''how do I approach women?''

I realize this sounds autistic english not first language but hopefully y'all get the point.

There's a reason 90% of people have headphones at the gym

Nice try.

Yeah, when I'm at the gym, I generally prefer to be left alone. But I'd be open to someone I find attractive coming to me and saying hi. (who wouldn't?) So what if girls are thinking the same thing? I observe one I think is cute, and if she has open body language towards me, eye contact, etc... But I have yet to actually make a move on one. If I'm at a bar/club, I can dance with her, get her number, but 99% of the time they end up not being right for me. I want a girl who has a passion for fitness like myself, but I have no idea what to say to her. "Hello, I'm anon" "Hi! I'm _____" "so uh... How many scoops do you take?"

>>36343915

take what you want from that bud, the point is still valid. if you want to keep your barriers and not approach women in the gym ever i genuinely don't care.

The gym is not a fucking bar

Do your workout and stop being a creep

>>36343591
>school is for studying not socializing plz outside go
>job is fer werking not socializing plz outgo side
>bus is for bussing plz otside socialize go

Would you be so kind as to refer me to designated socializing areas?

Socializing is not something you "do" or stop doing. Just be sociable, a.k.a nice,polite, say hello, laugh at jokes and look at people in the eyes when they speak to you, regardless of man/women/hot or not.
That alone is enough in the gym, and if it must go further you'll meet up ouside, simple as that.

I talked to a girl on the stretching mat and she agreed to go run a mile with me at the park a few days later

Neither of us could run the full mile

We never talked again

Kek, not sure why I found this so pitifully funny

Guys trying to talk to me at the gym just come out looking like creeps. If you want to hookup with some sleezy bitch then you should just make a tindr account.

>dont hit on me silly boys
Shut up whore

>>36343832
as to drain off the shitty music blasting through the speakers?
If they didn't play the music I wouldn't wear headphones since I'd much rather just listen to natural gymgrunting

Only people at my gym are buff 40yo dudes and this russian blonde who's also 40yo.

At least it's a good gym.

But I wish there were more girls there.

>qt at my gym
>change gyms as mine becomes shit
>don't see qt anymore

DL 5pl8 for reps and silence their chit chat.

I don't think alot of people go to the gym wanting to be approached.
