Is the gym a decent place to meet quality guys?

[Anonymous]

Or are a lot of them vain jerks/ sex crazed jocks?

Here's your pick of the litter at the gym:

The guy who has nothing else to fall back on besides working out 24/7 and is high on himself all the time.

The guy who isn't in shape.

The guy who stares in the mirror all day.

The guy who stares at the ladies all day.

The guy who is -trying- to build up confidence.

The guy who lifts very light weights but still screams like he's a pro.

The guy who can't tell the 5lb dumbbell from the 10lb and ends up hurting himself.

The guy who acts like he's working out but is just watching the T.V.

And last but not least, the guy who actually has his head on straight and is going there to fix himself. So 1/9 chance to meet a quality guy at the gym, and that's probably putting it lightly. The gym is not a good place to find -quality- guys.

No they are not. I belong to a gym and been going 5 days a week, besides this past I haven't gone, I've been sick with cold... in the summer time, yea I know it sucks. Anyway I'm sure you can meet decent guys in the gym but I don't ever go up to people in the gym unless I know them already. For the most part people at my gym are very independent, on top of that I'm really shy so I normally just do my work out for a couple hours and go. If a girl at the gym were to come up to me though that'd be nice, because in my opinion there is decent people in most places you go but when I go to the gym normally I just go there to work out.

I would be willing to smile from afar. Except I'm nearsighted and don't wear contacts so I prob wouldn't necessarily notice a glance. Maybe if someone is near me I will strike up a conversation.

[Shyguy_1988]

Well I don't have a eyesight excuse... I'm just shy and do my own thing at the gym, mainly go at the same time everyday though and see the same people.

No, it's not. It's not so much that you meet *only* sex-crazed guys, but that everyone who's been working out is high on endorphins, maybe a little edgy or jumpy, or overly happy. Another group is self-conscious about being there. It's just not the best place to look for a permanent BF/GF.

Yeah I think so. I've met a few guys at the gym. All of them were pretty good guys.

[Asker]

how did you meet them..did they approach you?

[sweet_18]

One guy I met while I was on the treadmill. One guy I met through a friend I already knew, and then one guy was standing in line behind me at the drinking fountain. There was one guy that just wanted sex though...

[Asker]

oh that stinks about the last guy. if you found so many people though you must be very friendly.

[sweet_18]

well this was over a period of time. lol I try to be

A gym is no different from say the mall or the beach. It's hit or miss anywhere you go and you're always playing against the odds.

[Asker]

Yup I'm sure a lot of them are married or with girlfriends.

It would really depend on the guy. A lot of different "types" of people go to the gym, not just jocks and meatheads.

[Asker]

I see. I just get scared to lift weights at the gym because the actual floor is full of beefy guys. So I just go on the treadmill.

[Brando]

I'm a slim guy in comparison to most of the guys in the free weight area but if you ever look in the mirrors or even straight at them, you'll notice that they're all pretty focused on their workouts so it shouldn't be scary. Just get in there and do your thing. You shouldn't let that kind of worry hold you back at the gym because really it ends up just wasting a lot of time that you could be using to devote to getting into different workout routines.

[Asker]

OK thanks. I really do like to work out but noticed that attractive boys frequent the gym too. So it's like, I could be shooting two birds with one stone right now.

Good attitude to have :)

[beastman88]

id love to meet someone at the gym. personally women that at least like to exercise and be proactive like me. nothing wrong with gaining an exercise buddy and maybe possibly something more :D

Do you go to a gym? Are all girls there stuck up bitches?

[Asker]

A lot of them look pretty, tan, thin and possibly mean.
