Well, recently ive wanted to approach a chick my age on the gym, im 19. She always is alone working out and we are like the only ones below 23 years old.
Any tips on how to apporach her? Use an opening? or be casual?

lol im trying to figure out the same thing as you.

Im a fairly large guy for a 20 year old, and I intimidate the hell out of white people.

(Im asian. You know there's something wrong when an asian dude is scary looking in the eyes of white people.)

I like working out at the gym, I feel as if it would be weird to open a chat with a girl in the gym. It distracts me from doing what I go there to do. I go there to get big and intimidate guys, not to chit chat with girls.

I think girls might feel the same way. I sure as hell know when some ties me up and starts asking me questions, I get quite annoyed unless im in a REALLY good mood.

Yeah i know it hard. But i think if you smile, as if you were on the street it may be a plus, most guys i see at the gym have a very serious face and girls may notice that.
Most common way ive seen is tell her something if you are both on the same machine working out.
Did you try to start a conversation yet? I havent.

I do smile a lot. I don't think that I'm that intimidating. I sometimes get too caught up into the whole lets do this mentality and have a very scary feel to me. But that's just when I need to do what needs to get done.

Im going to approach next time. Ive made eye contact several times.

If anything an indirect way is to ask how to do the excersie she is doing, tell her you want to learn proper form, this is a good cue for kino as well.

If going direct, try to get them before or after they start working out, cuase you dont want to annoy them, most people that are in the are goal oreinted to their workouts and could even be on a time limit. Or catch her at teh smoothe bar if you see her there.

hahah nice, I'm totally gonna do this just for shits and giggles

I've been thinking about gym game too lately. It's tricky because girls are:
a) in the zone
b) have ipods on
c) are usually busy doing something

you need to be creative in this type of environment
from what I've noticed so far:

1) you have to run into each other smoothly, as if by accident but in a comfortable manner
i.e. shes working on a machine, you come and wanna use it next, but be patient

2) you have to initiate some sort of temporary connection
i.e. "I don't use this thing that much can u show me for a second?"

3) insert neg/joke
i.e. "dude you have some serious guns whats your secret?"

4) Scarcity
i.e. walk away, continue your workout but make sure that you've established a comfort zone so you can come talk to her again

and the rest my friends... well its all over this forum

Well it must be all us pimps getting our bodies in shape as new years resolutions but i was just logging on for my first time in weeks to start a thread about the gym, and here one is.

As someone else said, the gym is a tricky place. Not only are the girls there goal driven, but 90% of them have ipods in their ears, which is a good clue they don't want to talk. In addition, every man in the gym is usually an alpha male persona, at least while they're in the gym. But, you are qualifying yourself by just being at the gym staying a healthy social individual.

When it comes to inner game at the gym i would have to think its similar to that of being out at a bar. You want to work the room with your eyes, be social but not burning out the entire place. Since like i said, everyone is trying to give off the alpha male persona in the gym, you will have to go above that. Your going to need to give off more confidence, and a social element that draws their eyes to you.

I think its very difficult to pick up girls at the gym because there is a social element similar to being out at a bar but you have to work a day game. Not to mention girls are going to naturally feel uncomfortable at the gym covered in sweat which also translates to foul smells, which goes the same for you.

I know its possible to tackle this problem, we just need to put our collective PUA minds together to come up with solid ways to open girls. As cute it is to ask a girl for help while working out, if your a regular at your gym, which you should be, they should recognize you slightly and know you do know what your doing. But then again, my cousin did meet his wife by simply asking to work in. Maybe it is that easy.

from what ive noticed at the gym i go to(a ymca next to a university) is alot of girls use the treadmil's and cardio machines. all of those machines have tvs on them, so when they get on they switch the tv to their fav. channle. so what i do is as they are doing this i move onto the machine next to them before they really get into the workout. from what ive noticed is they are more willing to open if you catch them early on the machines.
