Cold Approaching in the Gym?

The age old question, has anyone done it with success?

I saw the most HNNNGH fit bitty today. She had to be about 5’6 had the most amazing cheeks in those tight workout shorts and absolutely tight muscular quads, you could tell she mainly only works her legs cause her upper body was more petite.

Damn she was so cute, I was focused on lifting but couldn’t help staring especially cause she was doing wide AF squats with dumbbells and lunges with the bench.

I feel like it’s just totally uncalled for to approach a girl in the gym though especially if they’re working out seriously
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

Ask her to spot you while squatting then just do hip thrusters with 1 plate and ask her if she'd be willing to help you with your form later

I think there are ways to do it without being super cringe. Ask for a spot or tell her she looks good. Keep it short and casual and don't overly disrupt a workout. Worse possible thing is to stare at the chick for weeks before talking to her and then hold her up for minutes at a time in between sets.

Just do it man but make sure you are confident and attractive enough or else it will be weird. Everyone has their headphones on in the gym so no one is gonna hear what you’re saying. Now obviously don’t be the guy that approaches every girl and gets a reputation. I’ve only done it 3 times and went 1 for 3. The other two claimed to have boyfriends but let me down easy.

Hit or miss tbh

I've done it. Worked out well with the hottest girl I approached. The reaction was positive.

My take on it now is it's cringe as fuk, and would never do it again.

Just seems weird, especially if it's somebody you see on the regular.

Not sure about cold approaching, but I see nothing wrong with approaching. Make sure the girl isn't completely disinterested in you to begin with, tho. Don't be afraid to go talk to a girl with headphones on, either.

Don’t do it unless you get the “you may approach me and hit on me” sign. If you don’t know what that sign is, don’t do it.

I mean there’s some slight insecurity because obviously there’s more jacked aesthetic dudes in the gym than myself. But I suppose it comes down to confidence more than anything when trying to talk to the girl.

By that I just meant keep it within your league. If you’re a fat, bald, manlet then approaching a hbb isn’t gonna work at the gym or anywhere else. But yeah man confidence and being able to hold a conversation is very important especially in an uncomfortable situation like this.

Did it once and it worked. Did it another time and the sloot wasnt interested but was all smiles, the knowing smiles of someone expecting to be hit on. The hot sloots know they are being ogled at the gym, thats why they dont miss a session. Pull up those painted on tights and get to performing. Its a massive ego boost and its part of the experience. They must get it out of a work out in order to recharge their slooty energies. Unless you are a truE chad, it migHt be hopeless but doesnt hurt to try. just be chill about it.

it is doable, and she might be friendly and talk back , but imagine how many other guys try to do what youre doing.


Anyways , if theres some eye contact between you and her... then thats a good sign...., while shes working on her lounges/squats ..... move next to her the moment she finishes a set and start with a simple opener.... something like ..... nothing like leg day ... good thing the gym isnt crowded... or nice that the gym is crowded gives you a better will to push harder..... or you can start with so hows the workout going on today , seen you here killing the weight for sometimes. if she answers back ... then great .... lead the conversation from there... how long you been working out , you new to this gym? do you always come in the evening ... you know the usual sh!t

Good luck man, I’d never try it because if it doesn’t work, someone has to go (and my gym is really close to home lol).

Just do it. If she says she's not interested who cares? I've approached 6 girls at the gym in my life. 4 numbers, 1 with a boyfriend, and 1 who said sorry I'm not her type. Helps to be tall and jacked, and I notice you're 6'2.
