Fuck off. It doesn't hurt just to ask her out. It'd take all of 5 seconds out of her work out time and if she says no then move on.

depends

if she's walking around with a full face of makeup, not exercising and repeatedly approaching you when youre racking weights she probably isnt there to work out

if she's deadlifting 300# and avoiding eye contact maybe leave her alone

You're right, I'm not. But I'm allowed to ask and fuck anybody who tells me I shouldn't

Just like any other time you are picking up a chick, it just depends on the approach

She seems pretty fit and is there to work out. Only reason I'm even considering it is she often walks over and starts working out next to me when there are free machines elsewhere.

Yeah just leave them alone. If they're following you around then sure, but don't bother them during a work out. You'll just make them uncomfortable going back or look like a weirdo. A gym isn't a place to pick up chicks.

Im just trying to ask you to be respectful of other peoples personal space, especially somewhere where people tend to not want to talk to other people.

And it never only takes 5 seconds. Most guys build into it. Its an actual inconvenience, especially when women are often taught to be nice, if nothing else, for their safety.

Just to decentrealize yourself a bit and put others first once in a while. Who knows, you might end up liking life more!

I wouldn't. They already have gym douches staring at their bodies the entire time, and often times guys offer unwanted help with weights and such. All she needs is for someone to interrupt her while she is trying to achieve her fitness goals - just to ask her out.

It's not uncommon to get a greeting or basic small talk in with girls in the gym under the right context if you aren't a creepy fedora tipper. Do that if it feels right, it'll get the ball rolling. I definitely wouldn't ask anyone out though.

Imo its rude to just walk up to someone and interrupt their workout, but if someone you see, and chat with regularly, than why not. If not, start with that, plant the seed.

What the hell is this? Women can be just as abrasive when it comes to being approached. Even if she politely declined, some guys still wouldn't take No for an answer.

She is there to workout, I would NOT interrupt her work out. What you could do is try to start with some short conversations if you run into her before or after she is working out. If she seems interested in those convos, try asking her out during one of those times.


Basically this. Never approach and ask a girl out at a gym. Start with small conversations and build a little bit of rapport first.

I remember this one chick would ask me to help rack her weights and spot her on squat. She was pretty good looking but it actually got pretty annoying eventually I told her off. Ive always put my blinders on at the gym I dont even really check girls out in there. When I was single my philosophy was your in the gym to pick up girls elsewhere.

No by the guy who inititially taught me how to lift. He told me girls hate that shit.

Next time she works out at the machine next to you
"Hey, sorry to bother but I have a question for you"
"Sure what?" (or some similar answer, if she's any normal)
"I've been told by another guy that girls don't like being approached by guys at the gym, is that true?"

And then let out a wet fart. Preferably on the laying leg curl machine to maximize effect.

Pfft

It's never the right time to approach someone if you follow the logic of CE

She's picking up groceries? Can't talk to her she's paying too much attention to what she's doing
She's in class? I better not bother her because she's concentrating
She's on the bus? Better leave her alone she's probably thinking about her next destination...

You can respectfully talk to someone without thinking you are hitting on them. I talk to people in the gym all the time what makes this any different?

lol you can ask out someone at the gym, just see if shes interested first. Go workout near her for a day or two and then see if she looks, if she does then go for it. Or just start a conversation with her somehow and then ask.

I'm not sure but while I was mulling the idea over in my head, there are women's only gyms right? I think it would be more taboo there since one could assume the reason for going is to specifically avoid that type of environment.

If she picks machines next to you, make conversation when she's resting

Fuck anyone who tells you not to, if she's really cherry picking machines based on your location, no harm in making conversation

Just be cool about it and don't bother her again if she's not interested
