I don't get hit on much at all though. (I mostly work out at home anyway)...but even when I go to the gym I don't. I've been told that I don't have an approachable look....I think that's a nice way to say I look like a b!tch.
As$holes! (just kidding)

JennyD crazy girl!!! Where have you been? Nice to see you back. I get the same thing some times. Guys think that I am stuck up, but I am totally not. I talk to anyone, even the old timers. Sometimes I can even be shy. But I guess its good not to get hit on much cause it helps get you in and out quick. Most of the chicks @ my gym walk around in there bebe gym tops (1 size too small) and tons of makeup, hairspray, oh and let me not forget their coachbags/cell phones. High maintenance... don't get my wrong, I love bebe and coach, but I save it for after the workout shower and my i love love fragrance... I hate high maintenance chicks... there are even guys @ my gym that are high mainteenance..:

Those guys drive me nuts, why are they at the gym? They don't want to break a sweat, their hair might get messed up.

Totally agree with you CC! The mirror slaves are so much fun to watch. I can see using the mirror to check your form but many use it to model. Not pose, model! Geez. And Goodgame, don't sweat it that you don't talk to the ladies. As I said very early on in this thread it is better just to go about your business and if someone of the opposite sex says hello, so be it. Sophie is not use to the attention and I am sure many ladies here have great advice for the men that are at the gym. I think you have the right attitude.

Its not easy being us huh!!!... JK

I just want to get in and get out. No time for mingling. Posers... There are so many of them. I like to look in the mirror to check for good posture and form... But it is inevitable... its like a nightclub sometimes. I find it very ammusing.

thats what i intend to do hopefully soon...

i dont like looking at those girls that put makeup on before they workout...that really bothers me...but then again are they really working out?

I am one of those girls who goes from work & has make up on. I am there to workout, but I know those who are not as well - I have only an hour & after work is the only time I can. You can read those who are there for pick ups or who are there for an intence work out................

I never understood make-up before the gym either. Plus I always went on the assumption that the pores open when you sweat, just dont think its a good idea to wear it.

It really isnt hard to see who's there for a workout and who's there to be seen. I guess vanity plays a roll in why some exercise.

On the other hand here's the flip side of the coin....I see the same ppl every morning. Sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable to not say good morning or something. Just outta being polite. But, like goodgame said, I dont say a word, I dont want anyone to think Im tryin to pick up on them. Or give them the open door to try and start conversation with me.

Dont knock the guy who meets you at the gym. Now im not talking your typical "hey baby working out hard?" type of guy. But I met my gf at the gym, and she and I had both noticed eachother for months one day I happened to be walking out at the same time as her and introduced my self and politely asked a few non personal questions we then exchanged phone numbers. Shes pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me. So dont write that guy off just yet.

I don't think that is the issue. If it happens, it happens. They are talking about the guys that are there to meet someone, not to train. They are usually just getting in the way of serious lifters.
