Ladies, a question

If a guy approached you at the gym politely, not like in a creepy way and was flexing and being gross

But just trying to strike a conversation, would you be ok with that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'd find it extremely odd for me if a guy did that to me, but other than that, I'd be ok with a conversation.

@Xalvadora why not? You seem nice 🤷🏻‍♂️

@SW-User I guess my looks.
SW-User
@Xalvadora I’m sure you look great 😊 I’m not mister six pack, but will maybe take my chances in the future 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not a gym-goer but a lot of people use the gym as a way to meet people not just to get fit. So if someone strikes up a conversation it wouldn't be totally unexpected. 👍

@Fluffybull thank you!
im ok with anyone approaching me as long as theyre nice and polite. i often start conversations with strangers that way omw back from work in the train haha or in campus .

@PepsiColaP I think you’d just be a cool friend to have for real lol I understand guys can be creepy at the gym, but I’m really just looking for some company 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am wondering what I am even doing in a gym!

I dont mind polite conversation, happens all the time, just not at the gym haha
SW-User
@Morrigan you’re at the gym coz I’m a great inspiration and gave you the motivation to go lol
SW-User
Friendly conversation only, yes.
SW-User
@SW-User yup, I mean the friendly conversation can take us somewhere? End up being workout buddies or something eh?
SW-User
@SW-User exactly

No... I go to the gym to work out, not get picked up
SW-User
@NCCindy fair enough

Just starting a friendly conversation? And not interrupting me when I'm focused - just waiting until I'm taking a break or something and then politely talking? Yeah, that's fine!

Just don't be creepy or annoying, and definitely do not interrupt someone's focus on what they're doing. It's not only rude, but dangerous when heavy equipment is involved.
SW-User
@FaeLuna fair enough, that’s exactly why I wrote “at the gym” not “while working out” lol

Just want to know if the idea is acceptable 🤷🏻‍♂️
FaeLuna · 31-35, F
@SW-User Obviously everyone is different, but its okay with me!
SW-User
@FaeLuna ok cool, thank you!
Not me only because I'm misanthropic and dislike being around people in general. I just prefer being on my own and doing my own thing 🤷‍♀️

@SW-User Yes, people often like to talk about their fitness routines. But if some people just go there to train and don't want to socialise, don't take it personally. I'm sure you'll soon get to know people. I suppose some gyms could be friendlier than others. Maybe the time of day could make a difference. ☺️
@SW-User Just saying whatever comes naturally will work in the long term and you'll be confident too. There's nothing worse than being phoney. 😁
SW-User
@Nihiless @Fluffybull thank you ladies for your input! That’s why SW is my secret weapons to getting all those different points of view lol
