I stay away from socializing in general when I’m at the gym. There are a lot of hotties there and to know some of them would be cool, but I’m the opposite of outgoing when I’m training.
‘MEETING people at the gym’ is fine…
…it’s ‘MEATING people at the gym’ that gets you problems…
cheers,
Bull
Of course I knew it wasn’t you …was just kidding cauz I live in Canada. That being said I really had to throw out that weird dude.
The thing about flirting is that it has to be done without the appearance of what it really is, stay casual…almost as if you don’t even care about that girl (girls love that shit)and then find some reason to do smalltalk. BAM! you’re in and she don’t even know it. Use laughter, girls also like to flirt like if it was a joke, but again don’t look too interrested( It’ll scare her off) and maintain good eyecontact(don’t be evasive). That way you won’t look like dumb sad guy who has too flirt in a gym.
not that you are …but just sayin
I’ve done this and it works out fine. Actually, I’ve found that even if they say they’ve got a boyfriend and say no to you, most girls are very friendly afterwards. They’ll usually smile, say hello, and maybe even talk to you every time they see you from then on. Provided you’re not rude about it, women are very good about these things. It’s flattering to them…assuming you’re not a pig.
retard- yeah i should have known better, the trainers at my gym don’t do anything except stare at the people training, even if they have horrendous form or commit the sin of curling in the squat rack.
Hey now,
I totally agree with those who think the gym is a place for training and NOT to quote on quote, “pick up women.” When I talk with this girl (which is rare)…it is before she starts her workout. Its not like I walk up to her in the middle of set and chat it up. That would piss me the hell off, so I wouldn’t do it to someone else.
Simonebirch. You make many valid points and I respect them wholeheartidly. However, to be honest…I would think that the chances of me meeting someone who is compatible and has similiar interests at the gym are pretty high. Much more so than say at a bar (which I don’t frequent) or at the local gas station pumping gas. Know what I mean? But like I said before, I don’t walk around hitting on girls when I workout…so rest assured, that I am not one of THOSE guys you despise…;o)
I won’t condemn your meeting people at the gym as I realize that there are human beings there and you’re bound to speak to some of them. However, I do believe that if you have enough air left in you to spit out a sentence you probably aren’t squatting/deadlifting enough. 
Focus on training.
Dear drew6
as I am writing this i figure you’re the kind of guy that does behind the neck shoulder presses so he can have a huge set of rear delts. Well sorry boy but the gym isn’t a place for picking up girls.
Tried to be polite about it but…
hey, they said it would work in MuscleCrap magazine… apparently my sarcasm was lost in translation. My comment about trainers was directed toward trainers at the gym i go to, not at trainers in general, and therefor, not at you.
Humm…somebody here ever have success with the ABC
Always
Be
Closing
sales technique applied to dating? Really not my style. But curious anyway.
One proponent says that if you are always pitching, the math will be on your side. Let`s say your lifetime babe closing rate is 5%. The number of babes you bag is in direct link with the number of times you pitch. The more you pitch, the more you cash in. The only lifetime limiting factor is…you. Are you willing?
Like one of my buddies said indirectly: Yeah, I am the running gag around here (because of my high number of misses), but at the end of the year I still bag more babes than you/I ever did just trying to be sniperlike (one shot one kill).
I am only talking about pitches. Technique will boost your closing percentage. Pitching in the right people niches (settings) will too. But my hunch is that it is first and foremost a numbers game.
The gym is a great place to meet others. As a matter of fact, I met my wife at the gym!
The atmosphere is better than most others (bars/clubs/etc.). Most of the people really take better care (health) of themselves too!
Fitness club/Gym
#1 place as far as I’m concerned!
