picking guys up at the gym
Posted: 7/28/2009 8:51:49 PM
So i have been working out now after i get off of work everynight now for hmmm 4 months and i notice that i go to a gym thats almost a "club" with no alcohol. I get hit on a hell of a lot more working out then i do when im all dolled up haha its almost like why do i even get ready or is it that guys just think its hot that a girl goes to the gym? I never thought the sweaty nasty look would do it for me

it's all the testosterone. people at the gym are proud of how they look (that's the goal right? comfort and pride in your own skin?) and many of the women look good. it's a pretty natural place to run into attractive members of the opposite sex.

i never hit on many because i'm a puny asian kid, and working out in a meathead gym didn't help. alas i was the kid wearing headphones, go in, do the workout, leave kid.

i definately hated the women who wore lots of makeup to the gym (i know sometimes you have it on cuz you went to class before) or guys wearing jeans and collared shirts w/ hairgel to the gym. you gotta at least pretend you're there for an actual workout, instead of spending an hour without breaking a sweat

I'm willing to bet it has a lot more to do with what you are wearing than endorphins, testosterone, or adrenaline. At my gym, women wear WAY more scantily clad and provocative clothing to work out than they ever would going out on the town.

You are funny!!!!!!

I have sked this to MANYguys in front of girls to show them that this was so true. And other guys who read this, please comment on weither or not this is true:

Image you are at an all women soccer game. At the end of the game, all the women are walking off the field with their cloth sticking to the bodies drenched with sweat and their hair stuck to their faces. How many men find THAT utterly sexy!!!!!!! So far, I have not had a simgle guy say no!

All that to say that women look theirmost viral when they are NOT dolled up! Why do you think guys love it when they see their female friends when they are just getting up in the am with no makeup, just a t-shirt with sleep pants on? Inevitably, when you are at the gym, as remotely sexy as you think you are... guys may think the opposite!

Just you wait to see what other guys are going to say about what I've said!

So what's the question? Congrats...you get hit on by guys at the gym. Woo-hoo!

The real question is do you do anything about it or do you just like the attention?

There are several things that can factor into guys hitting on girls in a gym:

-Testosterone
-You look hot in your tight gym clothes
-You are the only girl there or there is a higher men to women ratio
-You actually care about your body

Kinda puts the rest the myth that men actually care about make-up and all that stuff.

Have you met men before? Since when does it take anything "major"? And judging by your photos, i think a "lil bit of clevage" would be plenty.

yeah, I just hate when I go to the gym in a scanty see-thru t-shirt, with my boobs strapped to keep them from bouncing (but makes for really hot cleavage), skintight workout pants, my hair up in a p0ny-tail, nice and gleaming...then some random guy hits on me. What a bummer!

Ok, so I work out at home now for convenience's sake, but I hate posts like this. You're in a room full of men, you look good, if you didn't get hit on, it would mean you're not good looking at all.

And for the guys out there who say makeup and all that is not important, then why do all the girls in Playboy wear it?

Don't worry about it, just go with the flow. Guys at the gym can tell if you're serious about working out or not. They may just be noticing that you're a "no nonsense" person about doing something to better yourself. Guys like a person who cares about their health, body, etc. And if you're good looking to begin with, well, all the more reason. Since when is this a problem?????

Why do women always point at Playboy for examples?? haha

So you're going to do whatever they do and not worry about what guys say they like?

Guys don't look at Playboy because the girls are wearing makeup, Beth. haha

Women wear makeup and get all dolled up because they're trying to look better than the other women. It has nothing to do with guys preferences.

If you polled every guy in America you would probably see that men prefer women without makeup. I know every guy I've talked to about it agrees.

OMG you are right! It can't possibly have anything to do with their perfect bodies, large breasts, gorgeous faces and...oh yeah...the fact that they are butt-naked. Nope, it's definitley the makeup that sells that particular magazine.

I, for one, fall squarely into this camp! I actually think a woman is most beautiful when she's sleeping peacefully beside me, for instance....

And, OP - the whole sweating / deodorant thing - hey, it's a GYM - it's kind of expected, so don't be self-conscious about it!

For the same reason a restaurant serves both hamburgers and pasta salad!

The point is - women sometimes get this whole "I'm not made up - I look gross" thing going on, and just refuse to believe their fellas when they say otherwise... the answer is: BOTH, for different reasons. Don't try to figure it out - enjoy it!

They all just want to get into your pants. lol

Working out and lifting weights increases the testosterone levels in a man's body which increases his sex drive and performance. it's mating season in that gym 24/7
that's why i love working out at my home gym. no distractions!

It's chemistry that drives us.

You really want male advice?
Later you'll wonder why nobody is hitting on you for your personality. That's just you.
Doesn't matter why or where, it matters who. Get that one figured out and you're set.

if personal trainers are talking to you, they want your business plain and simple. if regular guys are talking to you, it's because you're the only girl that's not wearing headphones. anyone ever talk to someone with headphones on? you really gotta yell
