Is the Gym a good place to find a date?

[DreamWeaver]

I totally agree with your above statement, I mean there is no right or wrong place to meet anyone, when it is right it is right.

What I am talking about are people who go to gyms or specifically target men or women in the gym because it is a good place to find fit bodies, get my drift?

Yah guys who do that (target women) probably scare more women away than anything. They're probably the ones that got the women only gym thing happening, which I am ok with by the way. I don't want women who don't want to workout around men at my gym cuz they tend to be a pain in the azz about complaining. Women have actually ruined a lot of the good things about the old school style gyms. If they don't have a men will be men attitude they will complain and they have the ear of the private gym owner, cuz it's them coming to pay memberships and not showing up that they make most of there money on.

It depends on the gym. Oldschool dungeon gym....probably not. Newer, franchise type gym.....better possibility.

I think the best thing to do is keep it casual and friendly, which is why I like to walk up to women at the gym and say..."hey... I noticed you over there breaking a sweat. How about you trying breaking me now?" Wink and then walk away.

I'll tell you a flirtatious maneuver I like to use... whenever I see an attractive woman doing any kind of chest exercise, I'll totally cheer them on like I would a guy... "Come on.. Big chest, you can do, one more rep, come on, feel the burn!!!" They usually just crack-up laughing and, LoL, so do I, but it is a great way to break the ice with a Hottie if she is working out Chest!

Yeah the only downside to dating someone from the same gym....if it doesn't work out then you still have to see them on the regular. Same reason why I would not date anyone from work.

Not if your workout looks like the guy's in the pic...

Im gona go all negative on this one because I think the risks and cons heavily out weigh the possitive's. I mean unless youre sure that everytime this girl is in the gym at the same time as you, she will come over briefly say hi, give you a kiss ( and maybe motivating a smack on the bum ) and then go off to the womens area and stay the f*ck there, I wouldnt risk having a bad day or week... etc

Im sure the tired, worn out fatiged, tomato red faced look is not very attractive to a new girlfriend. At some point they are bound to be doing a little circuit on the machines... just over there you know... on the another edge of the gym in plain sight of where you happen to be working, she's gona watch you, especially when youre not wanting to be watched. Trust me, a girl will wait for you to finnish your last set on the leg press, last rep and out of breath recovery with your gym bud who loves to take the piss when youre all mashed and ask you complicated questions and laugh at you - just when you think a little respect would be due to let you off - SHE WILL BE WATCHING.

Besides every gym Ive been in, all the girls really worth having are already hooked up. The girls that look good and confident look that way because they dont give a sh*t that you exist, they may check to see if you are watching them, but in reality they dont need you, they already have their night in shining armour somewhere else.

And answer this question:

How many guy's have you seen training in the gym, who's girlfriends are there aswell, and are just 100% relaxed, focused and happy about it?

My wife is my training partner. Even before we married, lifting together rocked, and it's when she's not there that I am not as relaxed or happy in the gym. Sounds to me like you to need to associate with more supportive women.

Yah the people I train, some women are all very positive people...have no time for people who don't have a positive outlook.

I like Crossfit gals so I've gotta say yes... Any girl who is passionate about fitness or being active, and is ripped or getting there, is ok in my books. Lots of elite trainers I've met in the Crossfit world, who know a heck of a lot more about the human body than most people, and seem to be more intelligent than the average person too... not to mention they all squat multiple times per week and have thick arses to show for it. Love it. A regular gym though? Too many variables I think.. I like the hardcore chiquitas, suits the lifestyle.. Most recreational gym users are just that, recreational (and likely smoke, have many other unhealthy habits). I'm picky I guess. I need a passionate dedicated woman

Love the thick booty

I met my future wife where I work (a hospital). Granted we work in two completely separate areas, but you get the idea. Its possible anywhere.

You right bro, I'd favour an American or South African girl (Im South African) over a British girl anyday. I live in England. Heck I even prefer a middle eastern girl over a British one... any day.

"how do you know if youre bieng stalked?":

I move so quickly I doubt anyone could keep up with me. And if I was bieng stalked, they can watch all they like, but why be so shy? Come on over maybe we could have a chat .

You have a good point there. If you really want it, its possible.

But I would have to make sure I was getting a descent amount of respect while in the gym from any girl who I'd be dating, period. Know what I mean?

Hey... I met you on here, then FaceBook and I've been stalking your Homo-A$$ every since! Bahahahaha!

On a serious note, I don't think the gym is a good or bad place to meet a significant other or a date, it really depends on the person! Some people would say no, that when they are in the gym they are all business, others like to socialize in the gym, so I say to each his own, but I started this thread because I like to hear people's opinions, which by the way have all been very good, ya just never know when you might learn something or get that little tid-bit of wisdom!!!

[JohnBrinks]

lol, you funny ****er.

Dude I wish I had a video camera while I was working in the last Gym I worked in, Its was like a nightclub in there sometimes. And alot of the guy's who trained there were regularly in prison, and they said the atmosphere in the place was just like the atmosphere in prison gyms, without time restrictions I suppose. I mean there were alot of people who didnt get on and a little tenssion now and again and sometimes some fighting. I over all really enjoyed working there despite the occational guy who tried to bully me (none of whom ever succeeded by the way ).

Whenever guy's picked up girls in there (which happened alot compared to other gyms Ive been in) it generally never lasted longer than a month, and I think becasue of the fact that the gym was so extremely social there was too much pressure. All the gyms Ive been in with a reserved atmosphere - those are the only gyms that Ive seen lasting relationships in...

I agree with that, I mean some gyms are more laid back and social, others are more grit and iron, so it definitely depends on the gym, I agree with that 110%

On a different note, do you have a large copy/version of your Avatar, I love werewolves and that is a really cool pict, if you got one can you email it to me... scottydoc@redefinenutrition.co m

Yes thats it, it most definately depends on the Gym.

The pic is as good as yours.

They look like hyenas

[ScottyDoc]

They look like hyenas

I think they look Kewl as ****!!!

[JohnBrinks]

Absolutely, they look awesome. They have a few muscles in the forearms that dont exist... on humans anyhow. And the one in the middle appears to have a few extra obliques too.

I Love this kind of art.

So back to topic... Ive met this girl at work just in the last couple of weeks by the way ... we got a thang going on! =D The chemistry is un-believable, and shes so cute I could just eat her.

But lucky for me we dont work together all the time, we work for an agency, we will be working appart most of the time in different Hotels accross London, and only together ocationally. I think the fact we work together sometimes is absolutely fine seeing as tho its not perminant. I know what shes like when she's stressed, shes adorable .
