| Flirting at the gym?
Posted: 6/23/2008 5:59:50 PM | I concur. I don't even like it when my male workout partner is talking too much between sets. Fitness is serious business to me. I have trained daily for the last fifteen years in military gyms for this very reason. I would become easily distracted in a gym full of beautiful women. Give me an hour and a half of serious no BS training and let the flirtations occur later. We have a woman who trains with us three times a week and she is very serious about her workouts. Even though we are just friends, I find her intensity much more appealing than women who come to the gym to pick up guys.
...no sissys in the Gym! | |

The women don't seem all that friendly. They are all about their business and franly these aren't the women to be
messing with. Many do Tae Bo and Yoga and other dangerous martial artsy stuff. They will knock you out. | |

Do you women like to be flirted with at the gym?
Yes... please flirt with me! In the gym... on the street.... where ever.
If I had my way, I'd have a hot man following me all over the gym flirting with me!! That would be his job... to flirt with me and tell me I look fabulous! | |

Posted: 6/24/2008 7:20:41 AM | | Nope. I'm there to sweat and take out my anger on the machines. It's best to approach as the girl is leaving....just don't do anything stupid, like wait by her car..behind a bush...creepy stuff like that. | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 9:27:30 PM | | yeah that is kind of creepy, but there are guys out there that do wait by the cars and bushes or outside the door of the gym. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 12:39:40 AM | | There's nothing wrong with flirting with a girl at the gym. However, you should probably wait for her to first give you a definitive sign that she is interested. Otherwise, you run the risk of annoying someone that you might see many more times at the same gym, which could be very awkward. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 1:55:19 AM | No flirting at the gym. I go there to pump iron and burn calories, so no distractions allowed.
But I hate when those girls are just there, sitting on the machine I want to use, chatting among themselves or watching some guy. There is people waiting to use that machine, dammit! | |

I tried that once, after I found out where she lived I went through her mail, got her phone number and left 953 messages of me breathing heavily on her answering machine. (I really actually don't do this... Seriously, Never done it...)
I would do it, I really would, but only if there's a valid reason to start talkin to her in the first place. There's some pretty fit women at my gym and I'm still working on my routines all the time. So if someone is doin somethin that looks helpful to me I ask her about it.
Oh and there are some girls that seem kinda open to the flirting even at the gym. I know a lot of them say they don't like guys tryin to get all flirty when they look "sweaty and terrible" but what they are missing is that guys love that they're wearing tight clothes and sweating like a maniac. That's how we roll, that's how we're different. | |

Posted: 8/6/2008 9:16:44 AM | I don't think there's anything wrong with flirting at the gym...carefully. Make eye contact once or twice....then maybe a little smile..ask for advice if you truly need it. Wait until you know the person is finishing up with their cool down maybe before too much talking though.
I made eye contact with a couple of guys at the gym last night, but wasn't looking for anything to come of it. I do pretty much all my cardio outside at this time of year, only went to the gym last night because it was raining so much, so when I move into the gym for winter and start working with a personal trainer who knows what might happen. I'll keep the door open to possibility. | |

Posted: 8/12/2008 6:56:03 AM | Those that go to the gym to "hook-up" hold no interest. Nothing more idiotic than seeing some "chic" on the treadmill with bright red lipstick and barely moving because she's afraid her makeup will run... just plain stupid and you see it all the time!
Those who go to work out are generally in the "zone" and dont want to be bothered. I'm that way. In my 30+ years in the gym I have never asked anyone out nor do I let conversations get far enough that someone could/would ask me out or expect that I ask them out. This is just like dating at work and falls under the rule: you never po*op where you eat! | |

Posted: 8/12/2008 8:11:02 AM | I hate... but HATE!!! when men try to flirt with me at the gym! I'm there to train... not to find a FF (FWB) nor a mate!... and I certainly dont appreciate to be looked at as if I was a piece of meat!...
And if I needed to be spotted... I'd bring a friend to be my gym buddy! I for sure wouldnt turn to a man at the gym to help me... plans for him to get the wrong idea and think that the door is open for him to flirt with me!...
Training is actually serious stuff for me and I really dont want some testosterone bloated, soldier standing man to even look at me at the gym! lol
Just leave us alone there... if you want some piece of meat... go to the meat market!... lol

Posted: 8/12/2008 10:30:33 AM | When I am at the gym I am there to work out not flirt. I know there are a lot of gym bunnies out there who skirt around the gym in their skimpy shorts and cleavage bearing tops so maybe they are the girls you should flirt with.
I wear a t-shirt and bike shorts and after a good workout I am drenched with sweat and my hair looks like a rats nest so why would I look for male attention when I look like that? Maybe that look is attractive to males, who knows. I will admit to admiring a guys hard earned physique while taking a breather from those squats and lunges, but thats as far as it goes. | |

Posted: 8/12/2008 10:32:30 AM | | I hear ya, what is the point of getting dolled up just to go out and sweat? I never understood that. The point of the gym is looking and feeling good afterwards LOL | |

Posted: 8/12/2008 4:14:22 PM | I go in there with makeup on because I just came from work. I won't lift more than I know I can lift because I don't want to ask a guy to spot me. I make no eye contact as I am only in there for the workout (unless I need to ask if he's done with the bench or something).
I cringe at the little stoopit girls that are only there to be seen. Ya never see one sweat.
If I admire a guy, I won't let him see me looking at him. I'm strictly noticing a lot of hard work and effort on his part to shape/strengthen his body. Since I prefer to workout alone, it's those guys that give me motivation. I learn from them. I don't want them flirting with me. Most of the time, they're too young anyways.
I've given up on female workout partners. They don't take it serious, and yack too much. That just ain't me. | |
