chicks in the gym ?

[Night Fly]

Nightfly,

You look great in that pic. It would surprise you how much you and my wife look alike, especially in that pic. Keep up the good work.

B.

Thank you very much! I would love to come workout with you and your wife sometime. That's awesome that she works out like that, too!

I wish I had a home gym to work out in because I don't like the commercial gym that I go to. But...the other gym is 30 minutes away...and with my schedule...I don't have time to drive out there every time I want to train.


Thanks again!

OK, I have strong feelings on this subject, unlike most of the stuff that's posted in ELITE BTW SHEETS. When I'm in the gym working out, i don't want guys to look at me, talk to me, saddle up next to me, i want them to stay the fuck away from me. i'm trying to workout, i'm sweating, i'm grunting, and i don't want to feel like i'm on display. i don't mind at all being on display at a party or at a club, but when i'm on a treadmill or doing lunges or preacher's curls i don't want any guy coming up to me (in fact, the better looking he is, the more pissed i get), so in my humble opinion, don't think of it as "bitch radar" or the term that was coined, realize that a woman in a gym in spandex is getting bothered and accosted by men every time out and it gets quite tiring. its also, as magdalena said, when men most feel their "oats" (term comes from feeding horses fermented oats), when men feel huge and verile and nothing can stop them, well its kind of a pain for me. if you want to talk to me, wait until i'm all done, catch me in the parking lot after (to talk, frackal, just to talk, i know what you'll say if you read this) or better yet if its late on the way out not out by my car b./c that can be scary too.... ok, enough of my $0.02, the point is, when i'm at the gym i'm there to sweat and tear up my muscles so they'll grow back tighter and bigger, i'm not there to be picked up by pumped up guys waving their dicks around -= wait until we're at the club or a party, wave it around then, and we'll see!!!!!

Cindy,

I agree with pretty much everything that you stated in that post. It's an unfortunate situation that a lot of the women that go to gyms are oogled and accosted. In fact in my area to address this issues the gym that I go to has created "For women only" gyms. There are 5 locations total in the area and 3 of the are "for women only". Though from what some friends have said the oogling and accosting is not much better at the "for women only" gyms.

Now the one question that I have regarding your post. You state that you don't want to be bothered when working out, I totally respect that. Yet you also state that you are (or women in general) are in the gym in spandex. I find this kind of contradictory. I mean if you didn't want people to look at you why are you wearing spandex? Why not sweats and a t-shirt?

I guess bottom line people should be able to wear what they want without being bothered as you stated above, I just see spandex as sort of an attention getter. Please don't tell me it's for comfort because I'm not falling for that. It's sort of like the 19 year old knuckleheads in my gym wearing wife beaters and khaki pants. Simply there to show off.

Just curious.

Nightfly and B-fold, you guys are welcome in the dungeon anytime you are in the midwest.

B-fold, you are a lucky fella, having a woman who is into training at all is rare, having one interested in truly getting stronger is almost unheard of.

That is funny that Nightfly can do things some guys cannot. I met my wife in college in a rusty little gym. She could outsquat a lot of the guys there, and it was not unusual to see her get on the lat pull machine after some nancy-boy and have to move the pin down to put some more weight on there.

Between you and me, I think she really got a kick out of being able to do more on some exercises than some of the skinny guys. I know I sure got a kick out of it.

Cindy,

No probem, I had a feeling that is what you meant. No disrespect meant either, because I know that I've been guilty of oogling women at my gym as well, even though I know how rude it is. Trying to avoid being a hypocrite.

By the way, yes, oogling is a word.

Here is my rule of thumb...
If the girl is wearing makeup, she isn't only there to work out.

I've had 2 pretty decent looking girls stike up a conversation with me in my times at the gym that I could think of. I know there were more girls I've talked to out of nowhere, but there are 2 that stand out. Both conversations started on those stair machines, with the actual steps you climb.
"OMG this machine is so killer isn't it?"
"Hell yeah, wanna fuck?"

Well ok I didn't say that. I actually sort of ended the conversations like an idiot. I dunno, mind was in the "gutter" at the time, my bad, haha.

Sure the gym is for training but I have a life unlike some of the people on this board. I love working out but half the reason I do work out is for the women. I find nothing strange or wrong with socializing while at the gym. Its my hobby to work out and I don't get paid for it so I do everything I can to have fun and enjoy it.

Sociallizing is one thing, but trying to pick up chicks is another. I don't know about other women, but personally I go to the gym to work out. I may check out some of the men, but I am not there trolling for guys. If you really find someone attractive why don't you just be friendly at first. Say hello and leave it at that, slowly build something.

In my opinion,

There are two types of females in the gym.

1. Ones that just want to do their workout and get the fuck out.

2. Ones that are there to workout AND meet bodybuilders.

It's easy enough to identify which is which.

If you see a #1 type that you like, offer a smile at an opportune time (water fountain, passing by between sets), if she reciprocates you can elevate your strategy from there.

#2 types are always socializing in the gym, chatting them up is what they expect and hope for, so CHAT THEM UP!

hey b true,
wasn't my "chick",( I don't call her that) in your gym?
I don't think she would even so much as look at either of us while we trained for fear of
distracting us. but if she is ever there again, i would think she will be training.
