at the gym

[tpxgloveboy]

hey guys.....just wanted your opinions on a few things. At the gym, do you try to pick up women? I don't just because I think that that's one place where a woman does not want to be hit on or picked up. However there is this one girl at my gym that I've seen a couple times....

Im still new to all this pickup, but I was thinking of instead of bothering her and possibly wasting her time and getting her out of her workout routine to just keep it short and simple and do a direct approach by saying, "Hey I think you're kind of cute and want to hang out with you outside of the gym sometime. Could I get your number?"

Do you guys agree with this method or those words to use? I've never done a direct approach before, and tried to pick up a girl in the gym, so I'm just trying to get a little advice here.

I'm very interested in what people have to say on this topic. I NEVER approach women at the gym. That's because a)I don't stop my workout for anyone and b)I don't like when I'm bothered in the middle of a workout. The hotties in the gym almost always have headphones too, as well as me. If I'm taking a break I'll hangout and talk to friends but I have yet to game in the gym.

My advice to you tpxgloveboy is to make her laugh. If you can make her laugh while she's concentrating on a workout you are golden. I would say something like "Hey, I've seen you before. You're in almost as good of shape as me" and I would get her number and I would also throw out the "Hey, we should workout together sometime....if you can handle it!". Working out together is a great (cheap!) comfort builder, plus there's so much room for kino and sexual escalation. If all goes well it's back to your house for a "protein shake".

I don't run game at the gym. I'm there to workout and so are the girls that are there. I'm there for self-improvement and self-reflection and as such I simply want to have time for myself.

I have thought of a good opener though:

"What do you think about when you workout?"

I'm all business when I go to the gym. I'ts business time!!!
The guy who runs the desk where i workout nicknamed me "pitbull" cause i look so mean/serious when Im in there.

I do wish I could open in the gym more. dayum ipods, and treadmills.
Note to any girl who might somehow read this:lift weights!! I'ts easier for a guy in great shape to talk to you.

Today I was talking to my workout partner while I was doing a set and he was leaning on another machine. A cute woman with a hot body walks over and ask if he's using the machine. He said he was just leaning on it. In a way she opened a set. I took advantage of this and said, "you'd be surprised how big your muscles get leaning on these machines." It was quick so even though it may not sound all that original, she laughed and said, "I've been doing it all wrong by actually using them." I then said, "Yep, you need to try a new approach involving relaxing more with good conversation." By throwing in "good conversation" I believed I gave myself DHV because I was obviously meaning with me by the fact that I had just made her laugh.

Even though I agree with you guys that the gym is really not the place, I am going to work this and see what happens. If nothing else I'll try to get to know her because she is cute and I see her in there a lot. If I can get her to talk to me even as friends once in a while it will look good for me in front of a couple of HB10s I keep seeing in there. I may just be dreaming but I swear one of the hottest girls I have ever seen in my life checks me out once in a while.

I'm chicken shit when it comes to HB10s so I have no idea how to approach her or if I even should.

I love gaming girls at the gym. you see them at their lowest, no make up, almost no clothes, their hair is up and they are sweating... everything a girl DOESNT want a guy to see. Its the perfect time to neg her because by pointing out how she crinkles her nose or how her finger nails are fake so it take away from her looks takes her mind off the parts she is really there to fix. and I agree that you DEF should make her laugh, get her out of the serious workout mode. Gaming a girl at the gym is almost as good as catching them at a tanning salon. ( i used to work at one out in Allen, and my ex worked at one her in plano, so when i would go see her, i'd game the hot ones that would come in, and then when my ex would go clean a bed, i'd # close the target. Works wonders when you catch a girl at their physically lowest points)
