Is the Gym a good place to find a Date?
Yes? No? Maybe? Elaborate on your answers please!

Yah it's not a place to find a date but if you meet someone special, come on you have ask her out for a beverage... I am ommitted from this scenario being a happily married man but if I were single it's not such a bad place to find quality women. Just be a gentleman. If you're just looking to get with someone for a night, then best take that to the bar.I started this thread because I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on this issue... Some are of the mind-set that the gym is a sacred place where you go to work and then leave, others view it as a social gathering place, and others will use it as a mix of the two! Personally, I use it as a mix of the two, I am way too personal and personable to just workout and not get to know the people around me, I usually know all the men and less of the women, just because I tend to workout in the area where way more men are training as compared to women, but I still get to know all the regulars of both sexes. I definitely agree with AZMIDLYF that the gym is someplace we at least both have in common and then from there... well??? But there is also the opinion that women are there to workout and don't want to be talk to, flirted with, and/or hit on! Anyway, my overall two cents is as long as it is done in a friendly casual manner and you get to know someone before diving right in and treating it like a singles bar and trying to gather as many phone numbers as possible, etc. then it is ok!
yah that's the point I was trying to make as well, if you meet the right person, it doesn't matter where it is. Can't let opportunities like that go to waste.People go to the grocery store just to shop, doesn't mean you can not meet someone there. Hell, I know a lot of people that met and started dating at church. Now if that's not sacred then I don't know what it.
See that's what I am talking about....I met my wife in the gym. Well she worked there and made my protein shakes.
yah that would be a bit uncomfortable but I wouldn't change gyms because of it...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.
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.If you wanna strike up a conversation with someone, do it. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. There's no right place to meet someone.
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.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?
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!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.
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.
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... etcNot if your workout looks like the guy's in the pic...
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.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?
Yah the people I train, some women are all very positive people...have no time for people who don't have a positive outlook.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.

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?
Love the thick bootyI 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
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.My wife is my training partner. Even before we married... Sounds to me like you to need to associate with more supportive women.
"how do you know if youre bieng stalked?":
You have a good point there. If you really want it, its possible.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.
Hey... I met you on here, then FaceBook and I've been stalking your Homo-A$$ every since! Bahahahaha!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?
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%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...
Yes thats it, it most definately depends on the Gym.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... [email protected]
Thread hi-Jack for a sec...
Yeah... come get ya some!!!
I think they look Kewl as ****!!!They look like hyenas
I'm in the same boat as you, seeing someone from work that I only see on occasion, twice a month at the office. I have to say be careful..lol.. it's almost gotten us into trouble more than once, and even though we don't work together often, drama will happen - and people will eventually find out. I think we have a policy at my company against dating people we work with too. Oh well lol.. I've dated 3 girls from here in the past 2 years.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 .
