Is the gym a good place to meet women?

[Anonymous]

Mods, I listed this under Health and Fitness because that is the group I want my advice from, but feel free to move this to dating if you feel like it.

Fitness is important to me. I just started making some real progress for my health. I would love to meet a woman at the gym or while doing martial arts. What are some good ways to approach a woman at the gym without making her uncomfortable?

It is fine in this topic. Approaching girls at the gym is tough. We typically want to be left alone to our workout and get out of there. Not bothered by guys trying to hit on us.

So, my best and only advice would be to take a class where there is interaction. Something you may be able to strike up casual conversation without coming off as creepy. Cycling class comes to mind, maybe?

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

Most girls at the gym want to be left alone, they are there to workout not to be hit on. But like another commenter mentioned, if you really wanted to you could maybe try a class or something where you interact with others, but if a girl is just working out at the gym I wouldn’t really recommend approaching her

No people are try to reach goals. If you must for a girl make sure she's completely done her sets on whatever group she was working. Wait patiently and only then approach. Do NOT try getting her attention mid set. Same for the reverse.

Good place to make yourself attractive to women but I don't know about meeting. I had better luck going to cycling meetups they tend to flirt with you more there

No, not really. Most people want to be left alone. Especially if they are wearing earbuds.

Gyms are basically meat markets, so yes, they are good places to meet girls.
