Now if they are just hanging around the door in a cute little pink outfit and not lifting anything heavier than a bottle of water....ask away. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

The only exception would be to help a newcomer; I know a lot of women aren't comfortable in the freeweight section, I still feel intimidated there sometimes and if I can help another woman get comfortable working out there I'd be happy to do that. Safety in numbers, LOL. Anyway, I'm married. One of the trainers at our gym actually came to introduce himself and try to sell me training sessions while I was in the middle of my set on the weighted ab machine. Need I say that is an obvious faux pas?

I had a trainer ask to give me a survey while I was on the TREDMILL! Running my butt off this guy starts asking me questions.... with the intention of getting me to join special training sessions. YOU'D THINK they'd know better.. huh? Ok, my opinion on "goodguy"'s question. Unless the young lady is obviously flirting with you, or really not there to work out, I would not recommend whipping out that charm of yours. Let's face it, there are some women out there that try to meet men at the gym, but I'd say 98% of them REALLY aren't interested in being hit on. My girlfriend almost beat the crap out of this guy hitting on her in the gym last week. =) (and she could too! Gulp!) -------------- Dont wait! Procrastinate NOW! =)

If you go there for a pick-up...look at your feet, pick them up and hoof it, alternatly pick up the weights and get cracking...your new bod will attract the right attention next time your are in a club. cheers.

Like get real girls! I only talk with the regulars as the newbies "lookin for somethin" tend not to last anyhow... also, if this helps, I have found that wearing headphones tends to help give those specific people the cold shoulder without being rude - there doesn't have to be music playing, they will just assume it is on!
