Is joining the boxing gym a good way to meet guys?

[Anonymous]

I walk by this kickboxing gym every time I go home. I see guys punching bags through the window. The gym is literally 90% male. I've seen some pretty fit hot guys come outta there. I've always had a difficult time meeting men. Its been rough at bars where none of the guys care to approach me. As a woman, I have a body of a warrior. Super strong , build muscle very easily. I don't look super duper ripped. But I'm just wondering if this would be a good way to meet and get to know men. I know some men don't like strong women. just checking to see what other opinions are.

Joining anything you're passionate or interested in will give you the most natural introduction to meeting new guys.

[ProbablyClueless]

That probably would be, yeah.

I go there because I hate commerical gyms. Commercial gyms are boring and filled with people on Instagram working for superficial reasons like impressing girls. In the boxing gym it's intense and you have stays focused on reality and it helps with discipline.

A lot of people I know do marital arts because they hate commerical gyms, so I don't know if those guys are looking to date you. It's a lot more engagement so if you're shy you might have a hard time. It's no phone or anything there to distract you. You have to talk and focus on the drills.

@boblouis I had to shop around a little to find a gym that was not a dating bar. I used to belong to one of those for a while. I could not believe how many girls hit on me. Too bad I was married because most of the were pretty hot.

@exitseven

if you're attractive, the world is going to be a dating bar every single place you go.

but I think that at your age, you might now start to appreciate what you no longer have. beauty doesn't last forever.

[exitseven]

ouch, that was cold.

[Asker]

@exitseven

a lot of very attractive people tend to lose their sense of self when they lose their looks.

For their entire lives, people have looked up to them like gods... all of a sudden... they are just like everyone else. No more attention... no more privileges.

I was never anything special but I worked really hard to turn a fat kid;s body into somebody that possessed a high level of fitness. Girls used to like me because I was not an asshole like the rest oof the guys that went there the meet girls. Now that I am older I am told that I am "fatherly" I am not sure how to take that.

[Asker]

@exitseven

even muscular ripped guys don't get approached nearly as much as handsome ripped guys. you don't get approached because you are a nice guy. people get approached because they look good. fact of life. Even assholes get approached cuz they look good.

If people call you fatherly then its just a cycle of life. At some point, these young girls who call you fatherly will eventually get called motherly by the time they hit your age. Humans evolve.

I was on the stationary bike. There was a very attractive girl on the bike next to me. Another guy was on her other side. This guy was one of the guys whovwas always trying to pick up girls. He was telling her he had all his shirts custom made because none of the shirts you buy in ste store would fit because he had such a big neck and really big shoulders and a small waist. She tried to ignore him. Finally the guy gets off the bike and leaves. The girl looks at me and says "What an asshole."

[Asker]

@exitseven

listen, that guy wasn't interested in her. he was just a pervert. That is not the way to show romantic interest to a woman.

[exitseven]

You are pretty wise for an Anon.

[Berethor]

It a good place for you, because you need a guy that is stronger than you, and it's natural.

[Asker]

No. its not that. I just don't have any access to men.

[Berethor]

If short guy start taking to you then he would likely be ignored by you, he know that.

[Asker]

I'd rather have a short guy approach me than nobody approach me. as of right now. absolutely no men approach me

[Berethor]

@Anonymous if you stop being Anonymous then I am sure guys here will approach.

If you join this gym you need to really workout and and be serious. If you are just a tourist and just want t omeet guys you won't get anywhere. Get some good workouts in , laern some moves and the next thing you know you are parring with some guy.

[Asker]

Thats the reason why i want to join. A guy is forced to talk to when you're sparring him

[exitseven]

I think we are on the same page on this. Have fun, don;t get hurt.

[Asker]

you might find it surprising i have to do this all of this just to meet a guy. but its true. not all girls get approached all the time. some of us really have to go out of our way to meet guys.

[Truthatanycost]

There wasn't much talking between the few girls in my class and the guys during sparring.

[Asker]

@Truthatanycost

of course nobody talks while they spar. but after everyone takes off their gear and the fight ends, thats when the talking begins

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yeah but you'll have to be the one to approach since everyone wants to record guys and call them creeps if they aren't staring at the ceiling.

[Christoff92]

Sure. Because if they guys are very motivated in the boxing gym then they'll be gentlemen to a lovely lady like yourself 😊

[JohnSmith001]

Yes, do it. You'll meet lots of new people, possibly someone worth dating, and you'll get in amazing shape while learning a great skill. Fighting is amazing.

[Newtothis43]

I don't no is that the type you r interested in

[slatyb]

It probably is assuming that's your type.

[Asker]

no. i just have no other way to meet guys. guys just don't approach me

[Berethor]

The guys who don't approach are short and skinny? they are likely intimidated.

[Asker]

@Berethor

no. only weirdos or creeps approach me.

[Asker]

@Berethor

even the homeless people don't hit on me.

[Berethor]

@Asker why? they don't like amazon women? personally I am okay with tomboys.

[Asker]

@Berethor

im not a amazon. but i am chunkier than most women. way stronger too.

[Berethor]

@Asker you just don't know what amazon means, a warrior woman is an amazon.

https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Amazon_Brigade

[Asker]

@Berethor

an amazon is a really tall woman. I'm only 5'5''

[Berethor]

@Asker tall women tend are stronger but you are still a warrior so you an amazon.

[Asker]

@Berethor

thats not the definition of an amazon woman.

[Berethor]

@Asker being tall is not the definition, you saying that short women can't be warriors?

[Asker]

@Berethor

i don't even look like a warrior. i don't work out that much. i have the potential to be though.

[Berethor]

@Asker Fefla don't look like a Warrior before she Power Up, but she always a Warrior.

[Asker]

@Berethor

she does look like a warrior. i look nothing like her.

[Berethor]

@Asker didn't she short and skinny at first? she become muscular after a power up.

[Asker]

@Berethor

how do you compare a real live human to a fake cartoon character?

a 4'9'' woman can crush someone as short and skinny as that and she won't even need to be a warrior.

[Berethor]

@Asker because it a realistic show as far as anime goes, you can crush Kefla? :D

[Asker]

@Berethor

haha. the last pic you showed me showed a cartoon that look like 3 inches tall.

[Berethor]

@Asker how is she 3 inches tall, you also 3 inches tall on pictures, I am sure. :)
