GUYS: Would you approach a girl at the gym?

[Anonymous]

So I know some people are hesitant to approach guys or girls at the gym, but I want to get an idea of what the majority thinks? Would you ever approach a girl at the gym or is that a 'no-no' ?
If you have what was your experience or did it lead to anything?
Does it depend whether or not the person is a regular at the gym or if they dress or act a certian way?

Thank you !

Okay, so if your answer is a 'N

*** If your answer is a 'No' why not? Is it because you don't want to seem creepy? What if the person isn't a total stranger but a friend of a friend? Is there any exceptions?

Personally I don't mind it if guys approach me at the gym as long as they don't interrupt my workout too much, some nice small talk is ok and maybe a spot on a heavy set of squats is cool but other than that let me enjoy my workout. If you want to get to know me a little better maybe we can workout together sometime and depending on how that goes you might just get a date 😉

The gym I go to isn't mixed. The guys gym is separate from the girls part Besides, the guys who go to the gym where i go are way too serious about training , they go to workout... not make-out lol

I've done it with no intentions of looking for a date, i just wanted to talk.

I've never done it with intentions of asking her out or getting her number, because seeing her working out hard just tells me she's there for one purpose, who knows, maybe she wouldn't mind casual conversation, but I'll still just leave it at that.

Yes, I've met plenty of dates from the gym. It's great if fine right, hell I even wrote a my take about it:

Done*

[Asker]

Interesting how you are the only one that said yes.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Ya I mean I think guys just assume all women want to not be bothered. That's not true, you just have to be smart about it in my opinion. If she is by herself and has earphones in the while time, probably not too interested in meeting someone. But if she is wearing a crop top and yoga tights and is lifting on the dumbbell section, well that's a pretty damn good sign.

[ksoma]

No. Absolutely not. Why? Because we have had pounded into us, over and over and over the message that "I am at the gym to work out, not to show off for you, or get your attention. I don't want your phone number. I don't want you to approach me. I consider these things a violation of my time while I'm trying to work out. This is not a bar."

[farscryer0]

No.

I am at the gym to work out and push myself physically as hard as I can. I'm not there to talk, not there to hang out, and I'm not there to pick up women. This is why headphones are a good thing to have, so you can zone out in your own little world.

[AhGojira]

I don't go to the gym. When I did, I wasn't there looking for girls. I went to work out. I never go anywhere with the intention to meet girls... If I happen to meet girls anywhere I go, then so be it. I'll talk to anyone around me, but I'm not out there trying to cold approach girls to rack up body counts...

[maiez]

I would, only if she kept looking at me or something. I go to a gym which has a lot of younger girls like in High school, so I wouldn't approach there, but at my college gym I may if I notice their eyes a lot. But yeah, I'd hate to intrude and break each of our workouts.

[Scrambledagain]

I'm a gym freak. No, I don't approach a girl at the gym and I dismiss the ones that approach me there. Gym is my time, I don't want women, friends or anything in that hour of working out. When I first did serious gym after school, this girl liked me and we started chatting and getting to know each other but it took away my gym time. Then (because I took forever to pop the date question) she went off with another dude and it became so arkward every time she came in. I don't need that shit.

[Negrodamuss]

no, because girls scream from the top of their lungs about how unwanted the attention is while they are at the gym, so why turn around now and wish that guys approached ya there when you've (well, not you personally but you know what i mean) already done scared them all off from trying. They even had "girls only" time at the gym in my old university. It's like they do everything imaginable to avoid men xD

[HaveNoName]

I don't like to "approach" anyone because I assume all girls want to be left alone.

At most, I will pass a smile and see how they respond. I hv seen that lately, quite a few girls / women have started responding and one even makes sure she always takes the treadmill next to me. All we donis keep exchanging a smile or 2. She extremely pretty so I feel stupid saying more.

[Anonymous]

No I wouldn't. I am at a university gym so I see pretty girls there all the time and sometimes I end up accidentally making eye contact with a girl over and over and I get the feeling they might be open to me talking to them but the risk is just not worth it.

[Phoenix98]

Honestly no, I'm not at the gym to meet people I'm there to train that's it period, got no interest in anything else. If I might them outside of it or after I am done I might do something then, but other then that nope.

[Anonymous]

No, because the arena of the gym is viewed as a place of working out and not necessarily social or a place to hit on girls. Yeah I would also worry about coming off as creepy. If a girl made strong eye contact with me, I might approach. A friend of a friend would also help encourage approaching.

[joeb73]

no i wouldn't i don't go to the gym. but even if i did i'm not that type of person to just go up to someone and start hitting on them. they are usually there for a reason and it isn't for a date.

[genericname85]

the gym is probably the last place i´d approach a girl. they don´t need another annoying guy that checks out their ass and then comes over to talk when they just want to work out xD

[meatballs21]

Absolutely not, and for the same reason I wouldn't want a girl to approach me: I am there to work out, not get hit on.

[KingDanny]

Yes I have done before and we got chatting. We both need our sessions and had a long talk after for a coffee

[datgirl]

I don't mind. I've been approached at the gym before.

[Trenhard_]

No but women seem to approach me while I'm trying to train and workout. You annoying sloots leave me alone.

[Gws4444]

Nah, when ever I'm at the gym it's time to get big. I hate when girls try to look all good when they go to the gym.

[Keyslayers]

Most gurls who goes to the gym only go there to work out and nothin more. Thats what i usually heard of

[ElissaDido]

True bbz

[Keyslayers]

@ElissaDido but i go there to mirin' @ dem Muslim babez in dem yoga panties 😘

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

girls always say they don't like guys hitting on them at the gym so i say no. there's no point

[Words_and_Wisdom]

Sometimes if I feel super confident. Usually women aren't as receptive to advances when at the gym, so that's what deters me a lot.
