Question for the ladies

[micromko]

Ok...do you all mind getting hit on at the gym? I am a good looking guy and work out at a very nice gym in VA and there are a lot of good looking girls there. I want to talk to them but not sure if it would be appropriate. what do you all think??

Yes, I am there to train and hate it when a man tries to chat me up when I am concentrating on my next lift.

My gym owner has also been thinking I am hitting on to him! And basically he is a classic leary bloke in his 50s. So now everytime he is in the gym I put my t-shirt on over my sports top!

I agree with Dingo - DO NOT try to bs to a lady if she is serious about her training! However, if it is before or after and as long as you are not A TOTAL ASSHOLE I wouldn't have a problem with it.

I would suggest you look at it as making an acquaintance at the gym, rather than "hitting on" some chick. There's this one guy at the gym who now has become kind of a pest to me in my workouts, but the first few times, it was very subtle...he would ask about the exercise I was doing. Just something like, "I really like dips for building triceps, what's your favorite/have you been doing them long/do you train them with any other exercises?" It really beats commenting on the other physical things like "Golly gee, it looks like you're in really good shape. How long have you been working out?" If she is receptive to meeting people at the gym, she will probably respond well to a subtle question like that. If not, the back off or you will become a pest like this guy at my gym...

Word of advice...DONT DO IT! I can not stand that more than anything...I am not in the gym to socialize..I dont really say much, I like to get in and get out, and if I am training hard...I am in NO mood to talk to a guy trying to throw me a few lines...Girls get sick of it and it gets to be really annoying..

If she's serious about working out, she's not looking to be picked up, BUT no one ever knows when or where they'll meet "the one". So, just start small, like smiling and saying hello. You can gauge your next step based on her reaction to that. If she seems receptive, maybe say something else, but keep it short and then get back to your own workout. She'll really appreciate that. (She's probably been hounded before, and you don't want to set off her hound alarms.)

If that goes well, talk to her a little the next time, but always be brief, and preferably before or after her workout rather than during. But try not to let her catch you waiting around for her. Even if you do that, don't let it be obvious! (shades of creepy) And don't follow her around in her workout (unless she asks) - this is the worst! Be patient, if after a few times all signals appear to be "go" (she likes talking to you and no significant other appears in the picture), then go for it!
