Hitting on girls at the gym yay or nay?

[Anonymous]

Is the gym also fair game, what would be the best way to approach indirect or direct? Have you ever cold approached at the gym, what would you say? Girls would you mind if an attractive guy at the gym hit on you, not during a set of course. also is it ok to hit on the workers they're some cute 1s there. they're usually not busy at night so they have time to talk but I'm thinking would they give out they're # if they're on the clock?

fair game

no way stay away

My one friend says that she constantly gets hit on at the gym and that it's the worst. She's gone to several gyms (even the one at school) and always ends up being borderline sexually harassed.

Anyways, I wouldn't think that most girls would want a guy to hit on them when they're all sweaty and gross. I know I wouldn't. But then again, now that I think about it, you'd know that it's a little more genuine when you visibly look like crap from working out, and a guy still feels inclined to make a move on you. Despite that thought, I'd still probably not feel comfortable.

[Asker]

sexual harassment what did they do, I wouldn't consider hitting on a girl harassment

[secretgirlxx]

I can't vote because can't answer. Most girls who work out are insecure and there is some who aren't but in my personal opinion hitting them up might not go so well. If you like praise them for the workout but a friendly way it could be a start. A lot of girls go the gym to workout. I go to an all women's gym and I feel very comfortable there! I also go to a mixed one which I don't feel the same, I feel like guys are judging me like oh I am fat or something. I feel more cautious about my appearance in a mix one.

[Asker]

If they're looking at you it's probably cus they think your hot not fat. no one cares if an out of shape person goes to the gym they're just another person. unless your extremely obese no one's gonna look at you because of your wieght

[Akesuke]

it's not the same thing but I met my boyfriend at club activities when I was little but we became friends first...
*imo it's easier to develop a relation when you have an hobby in common, just don't umm how it's said usually (?) "go out of your way" to talk with someone, it may be considered annoying or even pervy and it will ruin the environment for you and everyone 🈲

[wittymilf]

I find it ok if it's a little light banter now and then, but when he pulls up a mat next to you while your doing your ab workout it's a bit awkward.

[aficionado]

Not at all. Most women do not prefer to be 'checked out' when they work on their fitness. I mean... this is what my female friends and my ex used to say. They hated it when men 'checked them out' at the gym.

[Asker]

well what else do you expect when you wear leggings doing squats. people will definitely check you out it's a complement

[Barrabus_the_Free]

No, they only hate when the WRONG men check them out. If you look like a thug or one of the upper upper tier of men, they're completely cool with it. They will stand in front of you and do squats with dumbbells (even though there is 150 feet of open space on either side, AND they had to carry the dumbbells a ways to get to where they could stand in front of you), look around to make sure you're looking before they exercise, flirt, etc.

What's the problem with the gym? Are bars the only place? The location doesn't matter. The approach and attitude is what matters...

[tnkgrl]

agreed, approach and attitude. I'd be ok if a dude wanted to chat with me at the gym... itvwould have to be some sneaky timing though... most people have headphones on and that generally means 'shag off, I'm busy' between headphones and treadmills it's tricky

[MargaritaGold_]

It's definitely fair game but if they have headphones in or are like seriously getting those gains, then just stay away.

[Asker]

agreed

[Anonymous]

Honestly I like a guy at the gym and I'd like for him to maybe just say hi.
But all girls are different

[Asker]

you could just say say hi first or make eye contact n smile

[Opinion Owner]

I have social anxieties, so it's very hard for me to get the confidence to just talk to people. I have smiled when he smiles at me, I might just talk to him one day. See where it goes from there

[Asker]

he probably feels the same as in he can't bring himself to talk to you

[L_i_l_ly]

:D a now gut friend of mine texted me in facebook and told me had seen me there i thought this is a great way because when i am in gym i want to be left alone

[Asker]

yea agreed but you can't fb or snap after if she's a stranger

[L_i_l_ly]

in my gym we have cards with our names on :D

[Asker]

you mean like name tags, so he searched you up that's kinda weird don't you think

[L_i_l_ly]

better thank talk to me while i workout :D

[L_i_l_ly]

*than

[Asker]

I agree during is rude but what if its just when you walk by or were getting some water, is it never ok?

[L_i_l_ly]

it could be possible i wount be nice :D

[Asker]

lol you won't be nice how come?

[L_i_l_ly]

i am there to train or maybe to talk to people i already know but sometimes not even tp them

[Asker]

that's true but what if the guys attractive would it change anything

[L_i_l_ly]

this guy that text me after is and we workout at the gym together now but
i wouldn't care if i want to be left alone that's it

[JayCasper777]

yeah. they're the hottest. they got those toga butts :)

[realperson02]

it's a mix actually. some girls don't mind it since they are single but rest of the girls are either in a relationship or not interested.

[Kurodo]

50/50 either its like trying to date at a grocery store where everyone wants to do their own damn thing and be done or you actually find someone you hit it off with.

[TacosRAwesome]

Nothing wrong with having a chat while both working out. Just avoid the awkward machines

[Aming]

maybe not worker? its a bit dangerous for them. what if the boss is around?

[Asker]

well I always go at night it's a 24 hour gym and past 9pm they're no managers literally just 1 desk worker sometimes two

[Aming]

it doesn't matter. its just common courtesy not to hit on working people

[capncool]

I personally don't because I find it a distraction, I'm there to lift not to talk to girls

[Asker]

exuses

[Fitness-Fanatic]

nay

I got to the gym to workout , not make out

[Asker]

make out lol that's a bit of a stretch don't you think. what if the guy just wants to talk a little then get your #

[Kid_Dynamo]

I think she only meant it as a figure of speech. Which, by the way, was fucking clever.

[Asker]

yea she did I wouldn't call it clever tho lol

[AlphaStyles]

they could be tempting

[MetalStorm]

Douchebag move.

[momo770]

Nay, don't bug me.

[DinosaurLover]
