... today i saw this guy try to flirt with this girl and he got shot down.. pwnt... it was funny but sad at the same time.

I will post in your thread.

12/14/2008 11:09:24 PM

i leave people alone

i think thats the best way

i aint at the gym to find dates im there to improve self

12/14/2008 11:09:51 PM

12/14/2008 11:11:01 PM

this is why i wear headphones

i don't think it would be that strange if you honestly wanted to talk to the person i mean...where else are you going to see them?

but people that go to the gym to specifically pick up men or women, yea that is a little strange. and you see them all the time. standing by the weights not even doing anything or lifting weights just like hanging out.

12/14/2008 11:11:03 PM

That's one of those situations where I feel you'd have to lay it on slowly. Make short conversations here and there, make her laugh, then when you know her well enough (without going into the friend zone) you use previous conversations of finding out what she's into and ask her out. I probably wouldn't do it unless she saw me doing one of my stroner workouts

12/14/2008 11:11:56 PM

its not awkward...but i've only done it when i was running on the track...so i wasnt just standing around, i caught up to a girl and started talking to her while we ran

12/14/2008 11:12:46 PM

It's creepy..makes you not wanna go to the gym in case weirdos start stalking you. Don't do it!

12/14/2008 11:13:54 PM

its hard to talk to girls when they are kicking you in the head kneeing you in the stomach...

12/14/2008 11:15:47 PM

A good female friend of mine likes it when guys hit on her at the gym since, in her opinion, it's when she looks her worst, so she finds it flattering.

It's interesting though how things like iPods have completely killed any kind of social nature the gym might have.

12/14/2008 11:16:03 PM

wow a guy hit on girls at the gym.....?

you don't fucking say






hey i heard that homeless people beg for money on Hillsborough St.
You should make a thread about it

If you automatically think you are going to get shot down then you probably have figured out that you don't have a chance.

INSTEAD YOU SHOULD GROW SOME BALLS AND APPROACH THESE GIRLS

unless you are a vagina

12/14/2008 11:17:40 PM

yea but a lot of times when i go to the gym i'm stressed and i just want down time to myself to work out clear my mind. not make small talk with strangers. so the ipod is (usually) a clear "NO"

i don't always use mine. and i've started going to the gym with a friend and we use it as gossip/work out time. 2 birds, one stone!

12/14/2008 11:17:41 PM

12/14/2008 11:22:21 PM

I'm not going to lie.

I've always wanted to drop the "Race you to the top" line at the gym.

12/14/2008 11:23:50 PM

i don't get what is wrong with catching up with friends while working out.

it is the same thing as going jogging with your friend and talking

12/14/2008 11:24:03 PM

A friend of mine will sometimes hit on girls, usually with great success. Odds are, they are single and looking (they are at the gym after all). He goes all the time and goes to work out, but if he sees a promising target he'll go for it if he can work it into his routine.

^There is a difference between talking and working out on the machine, and just standing on/by the machine and talking. If you're using it you're good, otherwise you annoy the piss out of me because you're not here to work out.

wat?

12/14/2008 11:26:25 PM

"odds are" not "100% of the time without exception"

12/14/2008 11:29:36 PM

By simply saying odds and not specifying you could be saying anywhere from 0-100%

12/14/2008 11:30:18 PM

Gonna echo that hitting on girls at the gym just makes them go to a different gym.

12/14/2008 11:30:51 PM

no by saying "odds are" you are leaving room for exception

or else you would use definitive language

oh thanks for clearing that up

these just aren't things i think about when i go to the gym. but good to know.

12/14/2008 11:31:27 PM

you people

12/14/2008 11:31:51 PM

shit, I'm not a girl, but I know I exercise a LOT more when I'm single.

12/14/2008 11:32:44 PM

Fine with me anyway. All bitchez at the gym do is get me aroused while i'm tryin to run behind them on the treadmill. Not because I'm trying to stare at her ass, but because I'm too embarassed for her to see how out of shape I am. Staring at her ass just happens because I have eyes and a weiner.

12/14/2008 11:33:15 PM

ahahahaha ^

i started running on the track because i never feel like the ellipticals do anything

and i can't stand the pound pound pound sound of feet hitting the treadmill.

also the track never has ANYONE on it at my gym.

12/14/2008 11:36:23 PM

I like the treadmill because i'm less likely to let myself slow down. When i'm running on a track/street its all too easy to just take it easy or even stop... but when im on the treadmill all I have to do is keep myself from pushing a button.

12/14/2008 11:37:35 PM

Back when I was healthy and healthy looking, I would have done it in a heartbeat, provided I wasn't dating at the time and I was 85% sure I was getting signals.

I wouldn't do it now. I'm too fat. Also, I'm dating cddweller.

12/14/2008 11:40:46 PM

treadmills are such a waste of money and space. We need more weight equipment at carmichael

12/14/2008 11:43:57 PM

why not try becoming more resourceful instead of bitching about what there could be more or less of

12/14/2008 11:45:52 PM

shit i think next semester i dont get the gym anymore

12/14/2008 11:47:54 PM

I say hit on the girls. At least you know you have one thing in common.

Just don't stare at her boobs while she looks in the mirror trying to make sure she is lifting correctly bc she def knows. They are just nipples. SHIT!

12/14/2008 11:48:26 PM

wah?

12/14/2008 11:48:56 PM

GIRLS ARE AT MY GYM

FOR ME TO LOOK AT

THANKS, IT HELPS

12/14/2008 11:49:23 PM

get really good at the ELLIPTICAL lolololol

12/14/2008 11:50:00 PM

it is a natural thing for a woman's nipples to poke out while lifting. When hitting on her don't just look there bc you will get rejected when you ask her out. That is all I am saying.

12/14/2008 11:50:16 PM

chick nipples are so hot.

i don't even know why, i mean i have nipples and they don't interest me at all.

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

12/14/2008 11:51:20 PM

When I go workout and do my thing, I don't ever try to make eye contact with people.

Sometimes though that same few people ( males), and I can see from the corner of my eye, that they were looking to get my attention.

Well one of them did, waved, started "How's it going?" and I thought I'd be nice and reply...

Now every time he sees me, he can't stop yapping.

12/14/2008 11:51:51 PM

i touch my nipples with my finger to get em to poke out

otherwise they are kind of puffy

12/14/2008 11:52:02 PM

I just hate when girls are basically wearing bathing suits to the gym and get mad when guys check them out. If you dont like it put on basketball shorts and a t-shirt instead a of bathing suit top(sports bra) and spandex shorts.

Although that provides motivation for me to go....just don't get upset when i check you out

[Edited on December 15, 2008 at 12:11 AM. Reason : ///]

12/15/2008 12:08:22 AM

Why, have you pissed off girls at the gym before?

Don't fucking stare then.

12/15/2008 12:09:51 AM

staring =/ checking out

but i have a feeling you dont know the difference

im sorry

I don't wear bathing suit tops when I go to the gym. I wear t shirts/tank tops and soccer shorts/sweat pants/yoga pants and it still happens to me. That was just my experience and my recommendation. I don't see anything wrong with hitting on people at the gym. I am guessing most women like being appreciated more for being healthy by working out than being oggled at bc of natural occurrences.
