Do girls find it annoying when a random guy starts hitting on them at the gym?

Eh, they may or they may not. Depends on the person, circumstance, and how you do it. But does it really matter if they do? If you go around all the time wondering whether you should approach a girl or not because she may or may not find it annoying, then chances are you'll probably miss out on a lot of opportunities because you were too busy second-guessing yourself. This is especially true when you consider that a lot of women expect a guy to make the first move and won't do it themselves. If she gets annoyed by you introducing yourself and trying to have a short conversation then that's her problem. And would you really want to be with someone like that anyways?

I never talked to a girl at the gym. But I swear a couple times a girl was following me and working out next to me. I even started wandering around randomly, stop somewhere else and she would show up near me a minute later in a mostly empty gym. I dunno maybe I should have talked to her lol. I was super shy back then. Even now I wouldn’t bother talking to a girl at the gym. It just feels weird to me.

[Torari]

Yeah that's a pretty big hint. Especially if she takes off her headphone.

Shocker, I go, as in past tense (Thanks Covid!) to the gym to workout. I don't mind the odd comment here and there, I just chalk it up to someone being nice and admiring the way I look or how I'm working out, but when you literally come up to me in my space and full on interrupt me in the middle of a set, or on a treadmill or whatever I'm doing...it's absolutely annoying. Obviously some girls do like to be full on hit on at the gym, and maybe that's why they go, so can't blame a guy for trying, but it's certainly not every girl every gym.

[GhostMochi]

No clue, I don't go to the gym lol

[Mohima97]

It’s actually the main reason I stopped going to commercial gyms. I couldn’t get through a single workout without being interrupted and sometimes it would be for the most annoying things like. Hey how many sets you got left? Haven’t seen you around here much. I find it super disrespectful when someone interrupts me and throws me off my focus just to make small talk. There’s a time and a place and after having a long day I want to smash my workout in that 45-60 minute window and get the hell out of there.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

"Hey how many sets you got left?"

Maybe hey were just waiting to use the machine you were on.

[Torari]

It depends entirely on whether or not she finds him attractive, physically, and socially.

Think about it yourself.

Situation A.
Your trying to get fit, working hard, in the flow, and the song is on the best part. Then some annoying girl who is a 5/10 at best comes up to you to chat you up and ask you out. Would you be annoyed at her for inturrupting your workout and putting you through the awkward process of rejection?

Situation B.
Same as A, except, she's sweet and bubbly and is a 9/10. You accept her coffee request, hit it off, eventually get married and have kids.

Would you be annoyed at her in situation B?

[TOB93]

I would normally find it annoying since I am there to work out but if I found him attractive I honestly wouldn't mind at all. This has happend to me before. It depends on what the guy looks like I'm sorry to say lol but I wouldn't be rude to the ones I reject... thats real bitchy and unecessary IMHO

[Elsa143]

Yes because I'm not a sex object for sale.
Unless he wants a genuine friendship (which is IMPOSSIBLE) or a verified business deal then it's okay for me.
It's so funny that they think they can persuade any women they find appealing like we are some toys waiting for them only.

[CookyGirl]

Maybe 😅 ... really depends on the way the guy start the conversation. Like if you are only hitting on her because she's wearing leggings and a sports bra, yeah no. But i think girls can actually see who are the honest guys and who are the horny ones😆

[Kaazsz]

We’re all horny wtf you talking about lol. The “honest” ones just play the game better. The “horny” ones are just more desperate.

[White_King2000]

Sounds creepy. You always know thd girls that want to be hit on. They are the ones who proactively bend over doing squats and stretches as close as possible making sure you can view their ass, they might not want to picked up but they want to be noticed and flirted with even if they pretend they don't.

[PessicaJeter]

Depends on how he goes about it and acts. If he’s too aggressive about it, then no thank you. Also sorta just depends on my mood ya know? Sometimes I do just really want to focus on working out and am not interested in starting a conversation with a stranger.

[flamiE]

Kinda. Unless I’m having a good day and I look put together which is rare lol normally I look like a hot mess and am really focused. I’d appreciate if he made the effort to catch me outside after I’m done with my workout he’s got better chances of getting my number.

[ThatQuietLass]

I'd say yes. I'm there to work out, not be finding dates.

[bamesjond0069]

If they dont want to be hit on why do they put on makeup and skimpy crop tops and booty shorts. Certainly if they were there strictly to work out they would dress more to workout than to look appealing to men.

Lol and ofc some girls going to say they wear makeup for themselves. Smh. You know damn sure you're not going to spend an hour doing yourself up to go hike in the woods by yourself. 😂

[Prettysammie]

I go to the gym to workout. I’m not there to socialize. Do guys like getting their workout time messed up and have people talking to them when they’re trying to track sets and rest time and all that other stuff? I don’t get why guys think girls are any less hardcore about their workouts.

[Bourbon777]

Nope. Tbh I've never been annoyed by guys hitting on me. I just take it as a compliment though I do know that sometimes it's just a numbers game for them and they aren't trying to date me or anything. Can we just stop getting offended by everything?

[JayLiche]

I remember being Approached at the gym
I was 17 at the time, Guess she assumed I was a college student, since the gym’s on campus.

I didn’t mind, was just a little shocked.
She left immediately after realizing I was on the younger side..

[AshleyTaylorDanny]

I don't mind... I usually start talking about my husband and they generally leave me alone.

[ChattyGuy43]

Good answer

[dandiecandie]

I dont find it annoying I find it awkward because I dont know what to expect. It's very random! I'm always caught off guard and super clueless!

[jennifer_bloom]

It depends whether he is living a disciplined and prudent life or whether he is a rugged broke who is wasting his life

[RaveWorthy]

Depends on whether I did something to try and get him to notice me. Otherwise, yes it can be annoying since it's interrupting my routine.

[britishbby]

What you do to get their attention?

[kyliesz]

its not annoying but it for sure distracts me from my work out specially if he is looking over and watching lol

[likelyOK]

They usually don’t bother me but just stare sometimes. I think it also depends on your gym atmosphere.

[Show_them_the_curve]

No not at all that is how i met some of my boyfriends

[Lynx122]

You're the only one that said it's fine lol :D

[Show_them_the_curve]

@Lynx122 yeah i know
