Nothing better then being bald, frecked and short. I don't need to worry about pickup lines, timing or getting hurt. I go to the gym cause I got a host of physical things I need to get in line because I abused my body way too much when I was younger. My back ain't good, my guts to big and unlike when I was young losing the other 20 pounds I want to get rid of just doesn't happen. For all you youngins posting here, don't worry, when your in your 40's girls won't be looking at you. For all you 20 something males your a regular comedy act in the gym, very very few young men don't go to the gym to "not" get seen. Same goes for you women, don't get me wrong I'm sure in some ways your doing it for you, but if your honest your also doing it to be seen. Difference is with women they want to choose who their being seen by, its almost like they treat it as an insult if an unattractive guy looks their way. Lets be real everyone looks, guys and girls. Real ladies and gentlemen have more to their personality then just the wrapper on the outside, because one day its going to be gone, even if you work out. Treat all the situations with class both men and women. This is why many older women like me, I'm ok with me. I'm ok with what I am and what I ain't. I can laugh at myself, including when I enter the fantasy world gym world goodies. Funny in that world the girl says yes every time.

Open things up with something like: "hiya, my name is Hector, I recently moved here and I am looking to meet some cool people." See where that takes you and always ask for her number. @Hector – I would try and speak to her on her way out of the gym.

Several times I've had women hitting on me, although they do it in a very different way than those obvious ways that some of the guys mention do. They get your attention and then use all kinds of psychological subtle tests to form an opinion for themselves. I had one very attractive woman watching me doing lunges with weights, she came onto me asking how I managed to keep my balance! I told her that I focused on what I was doing instead of anyone else in the gym. She then asked if I ever trained with anyone! I asked her why she was asking, she said that she didn't like training alone and needed someone to inspire her. So I handed her my card and said get in touch and told her that she could buy me dinner after the first session, but I chose the place and food, and see how it goes from there - then told her that I needed to get on with my training. I could not believe it when she came over again and asked me if I fancy her... I told her that just because she had an attractive exterior it didn't get her any credit with me that she kept causing me to lose focus. I had the same problem coming into the gym as well. The woman serving was attractive wearing this black shiny satin number with orange blob shaped patterns on it. Two guys in front of me were hitting on her and it was so annoying hearing them tell her how attractive she looked and her lapping it all up! I leaned over and looked her up and down and said she looked like a lava lamp and handed her my membership card. It was clearly the wrong thing to say because she now focused all of her attention on me and started flirting back... It seems to me that when wussy guys suck up to women they get nowhere, but when we are not that interest we are seen as playing hard to get, especially if we bust on her with some comment that is different. I'm not sure why these guys want to approach you at the gym, but if you really are not interested then be polite and say so without hurting their feelings, don't do all of this tactical trickery like iPod, learn to communicate and be polite.

Cos if you are able to go through a whole gym session without looking or realizing anyone else in the gym, you have a serious social disorder of some kind. And how to differentiate posers from the real ones is quite easy. But easy for those who take gym seriously like myself. And even i like to check out girls at the gym, provided that there are any, cos i have only come across such situations a handful of times.

If you're going to go workout at the gym, wear something ugly but comfortable, that will tell the guys that you are there to workout. If you're gonna wear tight tank tops, booty shorts, what does that tell you? Ask your self, why do you wear that? TO BE SEEN! 50% of the people in the gym these days are posers. The other half are there for a hard workout. One way you can tell is that the people who are posers, they always look around at people and sometimes wear sunglasses in the gym. People who are doing cardio or weight lifting don't make any eye contact. Well, if you women wear those sexy clothes, then there is no reason why guys go after you.

The women that want to be hit on are the ones in the lycra jumpsuits proudly displaying their navel piercings. Not the serious women in sweats, shorts & tees. I'll "third" the headphones signal. If we're wearing head/earphones - leave us alone. I'll even wear all my ipod gear when the battery has run out with no music just to avoid unwanted conversation, attention or what not. Seriously - the gym is never a place to pick up a woman - bad dating advice if you ask me. I'd also like to point out that it's even worse if the guy is a crusty old perv thinking he's going to hook up with some sweet young thing young enough to be his daughter or granddaughter even. Ick. <> It give me nightmares. Old post but I’ve been hit on at the gym and it’s so annoying that at times, I’ve felt violent.
