Do you prefer a same-gender or opposite-gender gym buddy, and why?

Personally I prefer working out with women for 4 reasons.

1. It is more fun to me when working out with women.

2. It is not as embarrassing to me if I mess up in front of a woman.

3. It is super rewarding to watch a woman put in effort and see it pay off. Us men have kind of a cheat code with testosterone. It is awesome to watch men progress, but even more rewarding to me if I can help a woman do so.

4. While there is no such thing as a male or female workout, reality is there are some exercises that women do a lot more than men. It is fun to try new workouts. Also, if there is an exercise I like and there are no men doing it, I can seek advice from the woman I'm working out with rather than approaching random women in the gym and risking scaring them/creeping them out. I have no problem going up to a gym bro for advice, but approaching women I don't know is scary due to the risk of running into one of the very few attention seeking females waiting to put a man on blast.

Neither, I'd rather go alone. I think my husband a long time ago went with me maybe a handful of times ever.

I hate gym partners...

I do a routine and adding people slow me the fuck down and waste my time. I'm there to do a task and get it over with.

I do recognize there is a difference between the success rate of those people that don't get much done with their gym buddy, and people like me. This is another reason I invested in a home gym... other people waste time and get in the way.

I workout by myself but I used to workout with two guys., We pushed each other and if one of us missed a workout we would hear about it the next day. We used crack each other up too.
Later I went to a different gym and worked out with a guy and a girl and it just was not the same.

Why would anyone need a gym buddy, let alone an opposite-gender one?
